Chelsea Vs Arsenal

I’m not too sure how this game came across on TV, but this was one of the most exciting games I have seen for a long while. There is a lot of bad blood between these two teams, but somehow, the referee Mark Clattenburg, managed to keep the game from turning into a bad tempered affair.

Also, this game once again proved how fickle football fans can be. Until the 73rd minute, people were calling for Dider Drogba to be taken off. Comments like “he doesn’t want to be here”, “look at his body language”, “he’s not even running” rang out around the stadium. However, on the 73rd minute, Drogba silenced his critics by scoring Chelsea’s equaliser. I don’t think Chelsea really deserved to be behind. Arsenal played lots of pretty football, which they famed know for, but apart from maybe one or two chances, they weren’t really hurting us.

Nine minutes after scoring, Drogba put the ball in the net again to become the fans hero. All the negative comments heard for over an hour earlier had gone, and Chelsea were on their way to a very important win over Arsenal.

So with the final score Chelsea 2 Arsenal 1, we leap-frog above Arsenal to second place, but are still 2 wins behind Manchester United. They still have to come to our ground, but we need them to slip up elsewhere, which on the form they are showing, looks very unlikely. However, as someone once said, “football is a funny old game”, so you never know what might happen.
