The premiership race has gone down to the wire and my money is on the boys in blue to dip across the finishing line first, despite the superior goal difference of that team.
I am disappointed that Arsenal will win nothing this season - their football deserved it. It all went pear shaped for them in the game against Birmingham when Martin Taylor's challenge broke Eduardo's foot and then to add insult to injury, the referee awarded a penalty that never was - Gael Clichy GOT the ball and James McFadden duly converted it. In subsequent games, Arsenal had goals disallowed that should have been allowed and their confidence was knocked. It's good to see Theo Walcott finally blossoming - his slalom run against Liverpool in the 2nd leg of the Champions League quarter final was quite special and I'm sure we'll see more good things from him next season.
As for my team, WELL!!!! We started off so well, but we've not yet learnt to grind out victories and we continue to lose to teams that we have no business losing to. The wrangling in the boardroom must stop so that Rafa can get the funds he needs to mount a credible title bid next season. Congrats to El Nino for his very successful debut season - more of the same next year.
So just for today, I'll be a Chelski supporter and here's hoping they go on to do the business in Moscow on 21 May.
