A wonderful Chelsea performance see us beat birmingham 3-0 and exact revenge for e 0-0 draw a couple of wks ago. There was quite abit of pressure mounting up b4 e game, with birmingham known as e only side tt had stopped Chelsea frm scoring this season, n oso their unbeaten run (im not sure how many, i only know its broken haha) wich should not be ignored.
Needless to say, Chelsea were off to a bright start wif Florent Malouda heading in a super early goal in e 4th min. 1-0 to Chelsea! Joe Cole provided e cross n with as much accuracy as u could ask for, Malouda made no mistakes as he gave Chelsea an early lead n demoralised birmingham almost instantly. It was a great response frm a world-class team. Frank Lampard doubled e lead in e 31st min, a cool low shot to e left after slightly evading joe hart. Michael Ballack, in this case, provided the assist. Our vice-captain made it 3 right at e 90th min after a quick counter-attack saw Malouda passing e ball to Lampard who slotted it this time to e right, leaving hart no chance. 3-0 to Chelsea, 3points for Chelsea, n back to e top where we belong.
With a few games in hand, its never a doubt tt top spot was ours wich is why its quite funny to see manu n arsenal both staking claims over e no1 position. When arsenal went top (played a game more), ev1 was like saying 'wow, wad a remarkable comeback after tt 3-0 loss to Chelsea (its amazing, i know). A 11pt gap was eventually reduced to nth n arsenal could even 'snatch' 1st place!' Whoa ppl, kindly get ur facts right. Arsenal DID NOT SNATCH 1st place frm Chelsea. We merely loaned it to them for awhile, cuz if u rem, Chelsea still haf a game in hand. Thus its quite funny tt arsenal is gettg so excited abt it even though their happiness is short-lived. Indeed it is.
Manu went top (played a game more too) after beating hull city 4-0. No prizes (not even claps) for guessing correctly who scored for manu cuz its common knowledge. Come on everybody, tgt, wayne rooney who else? Well, he scored all 4 goals n got really happy afterall its his 1st time hitting 4. Why tts amazing isnt it? Frank Lampard did tt a couple of seasons ago agnst derby n he is not even a striker! Wouldnt like to imag if he were one. Anyway u would be crazy to think of manu's win as emphatic. Out of e 4 goals, 3 were scored in e last 10min. Sure, praise manu all u want, only if e match lasted 10min. Ever since looney scored early in e 1st half, hull city had as many chances as manu n dey were real unlucky not to get an equaliser. You do wonder wad izit some ppl haf in their heads when dey said manu 'regained' top spot after winng hull. Were dey ever top? NO WAY! It has been Chelsea all e time so how in e name of smelly looney can manu REGAIN it? It doesnt even belong to them!
In any case, Chelsea returned to the top or u could even say REGAIN TOP SPOT after this match which is clearly pleasing considering e fact tt manu n arsenal clash this wkend while Chelsea play their game in hand next wk. So hopefully, arsenal draw 0-0 (1-1 or 2-2 i dont care as long as its a draw) wif manu while Chelsea extend their winng run since jan wif a 4-0 win over burnley n 3-0 win over hull next wk. Be a True Blue n u will haf no blues!
The willingness to field a strong team only shows how much we want to defend our trophy frm las season. I mean, u join a competition primarily cuz u wan to win it right? Yea dere might be some hu might say tt its for e experience n joy, but for a club like arsenal? No way. When was e last time they won a trophy? Its ok dun bother thinking its been quite a few yrs (its hard to rem since Chelsea keep winng trophies). I'm sure they wan to win e FA Cup very much so tt at least their trophy cabinet (oh come on, i noe its abit hard to believe y dey would haf one) would look a teeny weeny bit presentable.
In any case, it only shows wich trophy arsenal really wants: EPL or mayb champions league wich is certainly unfortunate since both, along wif e FA Cup r goin to Stamford Bridge. I find it abit disturbing tt dere r some clubs who do not 'respect the competition' (as quoted on Chelsea's website). Those clubs should not even be allowed to join the competition since dey do not even care much abt it. Ok enough rambling abt tt. Chelsea face cardiff city at home on 13th Feb for our next round n accordg to many reports, we have been given an easy tie. Do you really think so, i mean wads wif e Fa Cup abt being a killer competition n in e past few wks we haf seen manu losing to leeds n of cuz liv n burnley both losing to reading. There is no such thing abt an easy tie, every game is difficult. But no matter wad, we r still gona play our football as always n e desire to win e FA Cup again is never stronger. Be a true blue n watch the blue flag flying high in wembley come may.
Nicolas Anelka opened e scoring after a sweet thru ball frm Ballack opened up e defence n beating e offside trap, Anelka rounded up e gkper n then headed into an empty net. We were in front as early as e 7th min i guess. Florent Malouda was next as he brilliantly paced his run into e danger area b4 smashing it into e left corner. 2-0 to Chelsea n we were in total control. He later admitted he was looking for Anelka but seeing tt dere were defenders surrounding him, he chose to shoot. What a wise decision for such a selfless player.
Ashley's goal, in fact, was remarkable! After controlling e ball nicely frm Terry, he managed to fool a defender (probably their captain, im not sure i mean ev1 is focusing on Ashley) b4 slotting it coolly into e net. 3-0 n 3pts in e bag. Lampard made it 4 shortly b4 half-time as he tapped in frm sum cross (i apologize, dere were juz too many tt day). A great 1st half indeed.
Alas, 3 pts earned, 7 goals scored, Chelsea fans were certainly in for a treat on our very 1st match w/o Drogba n co. A proud 'told you so' to ppl out dere hu predicted tt Chelsea would haf to struggle to cope wif e loss of our African stars. We definitely did.. i mean how do u explain to them tt they had missed out on an altogether vintage performance frm e team? I wouldnt like to try, no way. Be a true blue n u will be proud of it.
EPL: Top of e table wif a crucial 2-1 win over fulham at home wich was e last game of 2009. Goals by Didier Drogba n a chris smalling own goal (thou i prefer to see it as a daniel sturridge goal) gave Chelsea e 3pts we needed to make top spot ours. Impt wins over manu, liv n ars ensured Chelsea hogged e 1st position since i dunno when august or sept? John Terry/Nicolas Anelka headed in e only goal of e game as Chelsea beat manu 1-0 at e bridge. A truly exciting game. Nicolas Anelka n Florent Malouda scored as Chelsea cruised to a 2-0 win at home as well (it wouldn haf made a diff if e game was played at anfield) agnst liv. And most pleasingly, Chelsea thrashed ars 3-0 (dun ask me y, dey used e word thrash when Chelsea lost 0-3 to manu), yes thrashed, wif goals frm Didier Drogba, Thomas Vermalaen (i prefer to see it as Ashley Cole/Didier Drogba) n surprise Drogba again. Totally impressive if u consider it was played at e emirates stadium where Ashley Cole was booed frm start to end (apparently e gooners' fans didnt make their msg clear enuf, i dunno, dey probably mispronounced vermaelen instd). Lampard once said tt wins agnst those mid-table teams were probably crucial in gettg bac tt premier league crown wich we had so generously loaned to e devils these past few seasons. He is right indeed and after beating hull 2-1, sunderland 3-1, fulham 2-0, burnley 3-0, stoke 2-1, tot 3-0 (its crazy i noe), blackburn 5-0, bolton 4-0 (we actually did tt twice), wolves 4-0 n portsmouth 2-1 (a marathon lemme get my breath bac 1st), Chelsea really made ourselves favourites to land e premier league title again after back-to-back titles duing e mourinho era. We can afford to give free points to manc, wigan n villa just to name a few n still remain top all cuz no other team is better dan Chelsea. In fact i saw e ranking points wich puts Chelsea as 2nd best team in e WORLD. Barca is 1st wich is probably debatable: if Chelsea won dem las season in Champions league, we will most likely be 1st. manu is a distant... 3rd. So anw a great 1st half to e epl season could be vital esp since Drogba, Essien, Mikel n Kalou would be away at e African Cup of Nations in jan.
Champions League: With Anelka banging in goals for us to cope wif e absence of Drogba (rem tt weird ban?), Chelsea topped their champions league group in style n will face inter milan in e knockout stages wif home advantage for e 2nd leg. Oh n 1 very shocking thing, liv crashed out. ok fine mayb its expectd. dey now play in e uefa cup (is tt wad dey call it, dun ask me im not a liv fan).
FA Cup: Chelsea r thru to e 4th round n face preston north end after tearing apart watford 5-0 at e start of e new yr wif sturridge scoring a brace. liv is out after losing to reading in a replay. manu is out after being dumped out by leeds united. arsenal will be out after dey lose to stoke. And, Chelsea will be in after winng preston north end, with all due respect to them.
League Cup: Penalty heartbreak. Thats all i haf to say.
So, as i said earlier, Chelsea is still in e running for 3 more trophies (more to come if dey win all 3) wich is a really good start to e season. Kudos to Carlo Ancelotti, all the Chelsea players, staffs n of cuz fans! I told u its gd to be a true blue.
As always, the community shield will curtail e start of e new football season n its not surprising to see Chelsea lock horns wif manu in wembley AGAIN. how i hate evil devils. Anw, nani scored in e 10th min to send poor old alexi n his troops crazy. A great start? I beg to differ, to me, its called a fluke. And boy was i right. Carvalho equalised halfway thru to level e score, heading in e ball after sum mistake frm e gkper hu i tink was ben foster. Now i say, has e game truly started. Frank Lampard, our all-time star performer, scored later on as benny n his bunny could only watch on in horror. Much to e displeasure of manu, e ref did not disallow tt goal. 3 cheers for him! You see, Ballack was accused of injuring evra b4 e ball landed so nicely in front of Lampard hu then converted to giv us e lead. So was he really guilty? The devils certainly think so. To me it doesnt make a difference. I cant see wad made alex (definitely not our no33) n almost e whole manu squad so furious. Even if evra was not on e ground where he always is, i doubt he will be able to wrestle e ball back frm Ballack. So admit it losers, we DESERVE to lead whether or not he gets shot.
It looked like we were in for an easy win when sth out of e blue happened. Apparently a looney was out on e loose after he reportedly escaped frm sum mental hospital. It was said he saw his gd frens (the team in red) on tv (i know, im shocked too) n wantd to join dem as dey try to conquer e pit hole. oops i mean defeat Chelsea (its making me mental too). At e 90th min it was 2-2 wif no extra time given cuz e request frm e mental hospital was tt e game had to end quickly so tt e looney could be recaptured w/o alerting ev1 hu probably comprise of half e world out dere. Now u noe e truth.
Ok so it was time for e penalty shootout wich is hated among Chelsea fans. A chance to exact revenge on e team tt so cruelly deny us our 1st Champions League trophy in 07/08. A jittery moment for all Chelsea fans started wif Chelsea drawing 1st blood. Lampard, always so brave n cool, slammed in e 1st spot-kick leaving ben foster no chance at all. 1-0 to Chelsea! Grumpy giggly (i noe its ironic) was next n as he tried to scowl his way into goal, Cech the great was dere. All scowls n no action make grumpy a rather dull boy. How true indeed. Ballack, who if u remembered scored a penalty agnst manu some time back, then successfully converted our 2nd spot-kick wif as much ease as u would expect frm an old man snoring. If u had done ur research, u would realise he didn even flinch. 2-0 to Chelsea! ok carrick scored. bohhhring. 2-1.
Next up was drogba who had a point to prove after tt strange red card he received agnst manu not long ago. He certainly did right as another goal in gave Chelsea a 3-1 lead. Stop wondering where ben is, im trying to locate him too hahahaha. So for e 1st time since i dunno when, e pressure was off Chelsea halfway thru e shootout. Then went evra hu apparently created his own rules of e game. According to him, u haf to hit e keeper to score a point. So he went, bam cech, n almost cheered if not for e fact tt dere was a blue eruption arnd him. Poor eehvra, he probably thought he was colour blind! 3-1 to Chelsea n a community shield trophy staring at us right in e face! Up came Deco who then got chased away by e ref (after quick investigations, he turned out to be looney's gd fren) who foolishly thought tt Kalou wouldn noe how to score. He was proved wrong as Kalou netted in e winner (4-1) for us and gave us our 2nd trophy of 09/10 (pre-season is counted). Didnt i tell u it wont be long b4 we get another one? Be a true blue n be proud of it.
