Footie Flummery
London, England.
The rain trundles down like a cart leading the condemned to the gallows. Outside of Stamford Bridge in South London, the residents in Blue are jubilant. Those in Red are wondering what happened to a season that held so much promise, so much potential. Arsenal conceded two late goals as Didier Drogba took the match by the scruff of the neck and led his side to victory, and may well be on his way to knicking the title from ManUre come May. It was a match devoid of controversy, unless you count starting Essien at right back, but Grant soon got that correct, too. I was surprised that Gallas’s reception wasn’t colder, seeing what happened to Ca$hley Cole at Emirates. At least he didn’t cry in the middle of the pitch this time. I think it’s time for Walcott to spend some time up front. Ade has lost his edge and RvP just isn’t match fit yet. Bendtner did score for denmark this weekend. Drogs may be off to warmer climes next season, but his contribution to destroying Arsenal is uncanny. Hat’s off to the most difficult striker to defend in the EPL.
Up North, in the Freezer of Dreams, Manure coasted to a 3-0 victory over the bin-dippers. One might say that Liverpool have their eyes on the CL, much the same as AFC. We’ll see who has the steel in a little more than a week’s time, when the tournament resumes. For now, it looks to be a two-horse race for the ePL title between Chelsea and ManUre, but stranger things have happened. With seven games yet to be played, there are some exciting matches at the top and bottom. Don’t forget, the relegation matches can be more exciting than the league leaders.
