You're not Champions anymore

Final score 0-0 after a very tense 90 minutes and a very good game.

The game plan was obvious, we didn't need to win the game, but they did. They had to attack, so we'd be patient and counter attack when the time came, but they just never seemed to try. Pires smashed a wildly dipping shot onto the crossbar in the 3rd minute, and the only other notable chance they got was when the same player dragged it wide from 8 yards just before half time.

We had a couple of opportunities to win the game, but a draw was certainly a fair result.

Apparently, some Arsenal fans turned up at Stamford Bridge, but we couldn't be certain. They could only be identified by their silence, as per usual.

The build-up to the match was rather a damp squib. Wenger and his invisibles said what they were meant to say, but no-one believed it. Arsene tried to convince the world that he really believed they could still win the title, but his body language told the real story.

Lauren and 'The Spanish Pikey who wants to play for Real' gobbed off a bit about how we were a poor negative team etc. With a goal difference of +50 it's a bit of a feeble argument, but just to make the point, I'll include these stats:

Stats prove Chelsea are more attacking than the Arsenal side that won the 2003-04 Premiership title.
This term, Chelsea have averaged 13.8 shots per game, compared to Arsenal's 11.7 last term.
Chelsea score 1.94 goals per game - last season Arsenal averaged 1.92.
And the Blues currently have a 78 per cent win-rate compared to Arsenal's 68 per cent last term.

Mind you, I wouldn't expect those two to be able to read, let alone understand that anyway.

So we can't win it against Fulham on Saturday now, 50 years to the day we last won the title, and on St Georges Day. The piss take about this, is that Totnum play the Arse on Monday night. The fixture has been moved by $ky for the TV punters again. So we could be in the slightly unfortunate position of winning the title while we're all at home. Who cares though?!

That of course assumes Totnum can get something out of the game against Arsenal. Spare a thought for the Totnum fans...they hate us both, so which result would they prefer?!
