Gap widens. Poor, poor Chelsea.
Honestly, how in the world the Villains pulled that one off, I am yet to understand. Absolutelt amazing. From a neutral’s point of view, that must have been an absolutely smashing game! The emotion that ran through Stamford Bridge when they thought they had clinched it when they went 3-2, came crashing down when Kieran Clark popped up behind the Chelsea defense and headed the ball in.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
United end New Year on top
Arsenal’s slip up at the JJB stadium meant that despite a draw with Birmingham, they remained at the top of the table.
Arsenal drew game, 2-2, under cntroversial circumstances. Wigan’s goals came from a Watson penalty and a subsequent late own goal from Squillaci. Meanwhile Arsenal’s goals came from Arshavin and Bendtner.
We are making the wrong choices all over the pitch, defensive-wise and attacking-wise.
– Chelsea’s Petr Cech, attempting to explain his team’s recent run of bad formTitle Heist begins
With the Gunners thumping Chelsea at the Emirates, the Title Heist is truly on. Goals from Alex Song, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott and Ivanovic contributed to a final 3-1 scoreline.
Arsenal now lie 2nd in the table, two points behind leaders Manchester United, despite having played a game more. The Gunners are level on points with Manchester City, but have a game in hand over City. Chelsea sit at 4th, 4 points behind 3rd placed Manchester City, as well as a game in hand over them.
Fabianski states the obvious, Mancini remains (over) optimistic
Arsenal’s Lukasz Fabianski stated the obvious when he said that his team’s “hardest assignment” would be meeting Barcelona in the Champion’s League Round of 16. After a gut-wrenching loss in the pivotal Premier League tie against Manchester United, the Gunners will surely be looking to avoid failure on the European front.
Meanwhile, Roberto Mancini thinks he can change the mind of Tevez, to prevent him from leaving the club. The homesick-I-hate-football-but-still-score-goals Argentinian handed in a transfer request which was promptly rejected.
“I don’t think he is unhappy, really unhappy. I don’t think that”, said Mancini. Nuff’ said.
Ten years ago, I would have sacked Rafa Benitez by now…
– Massimo Moratti, Inter President. [Unfinished quote] Real confidence booster isn’t he?He gave you some good stuff to make it all hot before the game.
– Arsene Wenger on Patrice Evra branding Arsenal as a “training centre”The good thing is we are still in with a very good chance. It’s not like Liverpool, who are out of it already.
– John Terry, Chelsea, on his side’s chances of winning the leaguePardew takes reigns at Newcastle
Lots of talk following Alan Pardew’s appointment as Newcastle manager, as many Newcastle fans are still trying to figure out why Chris Hughton was fired from the job. Not only was Newcastle’s postiton in the league respectable (12th, having spent last season in the Championship) but firing a manager in the middle of the season (Even worse, Christmas month?!)?
To make matters worse, Pardew misprononounces the much-loved Chris Hughton’s last name as Houghton, and apparently made references to Newcastle as a town rather than a city (Oh dear).
The comments on Youtube, under the video of his fatal misspronunciation are far too distasteful to place here. He’s going to have to REALLY improve the Magpies postiton to make any difference in the People Relations department.
