The last two days have resembled less a serious attempt by the footballing world at a convincing series of events subject to such traditional vagaries as divine providence, chance, and Sod’s law, as a spectacular forty-eight hour long play staged across a series of venues and with a cast of hundreds of thousands, a play scripted and directed by an Arsenal fan as full of wit as he is empty of compassion.
First came the dismissal of Orange Brown. One of our most belligerent irritants has been banished from the Premiership into footballing oblivion. And all because of Nicklas Bendtner’s finishing ability.
‘Gardening leave’ is the most bizarre way I can think of of telling someone to bog off, but bog off Brown has.
And Brown’s afterlife? Not so much the little Match of the Day studio in the sky as a call centre somewhere nasty up north, I suspect.
The Lord Almighty? Former Arsenal goal-getter Henry
To their credit, Hull City will almost certainly now escape plunge deeper into the relegation mire after their cost-cutting appointment of Iain R. Dowie, a man whose middle initial stands for ‘Revival‘ ‘Relegation’.
Bye Hull! Brilliant.
And then, to cap it all, said Drogba gets sent off for almost no reason, the referee conned into punishing one disgusting Mourinho-schooled cheat by the shameless skullduggery of another, Thiago Motta.
Marvellous.
Where were your flip-flops tonight Didier?

Don’t like to nit pick but isn’t it ‘divine
providence’?

i don’t believe in mythical god’s but i do believe that good will always defeat evil in the end. that liar orange bastard is history. chelsea’s cycle is complete and the greatest bunch of money grabbing vagrants have only two real titles to their name. the mafia boss did not look happy walking down the tunnel and who can blame the man with one billion of his money down the drain and no european cup. there is no way back for chelsea now. their team is over the hill. they have no young players coming through and will not outbid man city when any decent players that can improve their team come on the market. i predict mid-table for them next season and a fight with the spuds of this world for 5th or 6th place. back to being a mickey mouse club with very little history for the 2nd biggest club in west london after QPR.
chelsea were just a flash in the pan and so was that deluded orange son of a bitch.
arsenal are class and no amount of money can buy that…

Don’t get carried away. This is the team that buried us on the last 4 occassions we met. Morinho’s tactics were spot on. Wenger should learn instead of having just one game plan.

I pray we get Inter in the Q/F
Those old boys will be chasing shadows for 180minutes!

Sorry, but Drogba wasn’t sent off for almost no reason. If you watch the video replay from the high angle, you can see clearly that Drogba makes an extra effort to extend his leg further as it’s coming down so that it would land on the defender’s ankle. Arsenal fans know a red-card offense such as that when he see it, yes?

Really well written. Chelsea will still win the league though. Shouldn’t have sold Torre or Ade. Sorry guys……

People who don’t capitalize, shouldn’t criticise other people’s use of punctuation. You hearing me ’silent stan’?

Be more objective… Mr Fan! On my own part, I’m predicting an easy run-in to d UCL final. We’ll find ourselves within an easier pack of 4… Making the Q/F & S/F easy fixtures. I’m not seeing Barca & Man U until the final

Hey TB, you wont be missed, do not criticise when you cannot spell or use capital letters when required.
Just live with Chelsea’s pain!!!
