comment on the article

Hello

One game to bother us tonight and Chelsea, having been four points behind not that long ago, are all of a sudden looking to open up a four-point lead at the top as they host Bolton. Easy!

Elsewhere, there's a full League One and Two programme and Newcastle will all but wrap up the Championship title if they beat play-off chasing Reading, which special guest Football League Stevo will be keeping an eye on for your entertainment.

If you take off Drogba's goal against Man united hen you also have to take away Macheda's goal against Chelsea for handball. If you give Park a peno against Chelsea you also have to give Anelka a penalty against Man United. YOU CANNOT COMPLAIN THAT THE DECISIONS FAVOURED CHELSEA IN THAT MATCH!

Chelsea were good enough to win 1-0 (just) Bolton could've snatched one back but didn't - Premierships are won & lost on such games

North London Derby is a 1-1 draw tonight

Man City will beat Utd 2-1 on Saturday

Spurs Chelsea could have fireworks & a couple of red cards - score..who knows

-------------------------

Remind me how many home grown players are in Arsenal's first team line up.

True, Gary Neville probably did foul Anelka and Macheda's goal was arguably handball. Crucial though was the timing of the key decisions. If the penalty for the foul on Park had been given, that would have been 1-1 and the momentum of the match could quite well have changed. Also, had that pen been given, Neville's challenge on Anelka would then never have happened.
Drogba's offside goal made it 2-0 to Chelsea, which, at that late stage of the game, meant there was effectively no way back for United.
On top of that, in the game at the Bridge in November, the free-kick that lead to Chelsea's goal should never have been given. Even then, Drogba got away with being offside and fouling the defender on the way to scoring his goal.
If you add these factors to what happened against Bolton last night, it is clear that Chelsea have benefited massively from crucial refereeing decisions this season, which will now surely clinch the title for them.
And don't give me all that nonsense about United having been favoured by referees over the years. This is a myth propogated by the ABU brigade who only ever notice questionable decisions that go United's way and never the other way around.

I will say...on the subject of Drogba, he needs to leave a couple of free kicks alone here & there..

Let someone else have a go - Lamps Ballack Alex etc

ok

After the last three games for Chelsea, it certainly is 'going their way'.....
First a clear offside goal with the linesman right there in full view as caught on camera....
Then last week, a clear red card for Terry with a studs showing tackle just below the knee...
2 clear handballs (Hey Terry again...go figure), against Bolton....
Yeah maybe Chelsea will make the double this year..but will it be remembered as well earned or some damn lucky 'clueless' breaks from the officials at their games...
Come on, better to lose with dignity then to win with so many bad plays....
Clearly NOT a cause for celebration....
Chelsea should earn their titles and not be handed them from incompetent officials..

Has the for sale sign gone up yet down Busby way?

ocean finance on the phone without delay

"we can help, to save eviction

from your debt, that's gonna grow"

Rags get fleeced there, every season

And Glazer's know, you'll still pay your dough

[chorus]

Come a come a come a come a come come a come on Malcolm

don't sell don't go, don't sell don't go

City fans all love you cos you're wreckin' the rag fans dreams

Red gold and green, red gold and green...

You can see the rag knights marching on their way

To buy the Glazer's out without delay

That's a fact, not science fiction

Those rag knights are getting strong

All decked out, in Norwich colours Malc Knows they're wrong, so here's my song..

[chorus]

Come a come a come a come a come come a come on Malcolm

don't sell don't go, don't sell don't go

Dollars don't come easy so raise prices to live your dream

Rag gold and green, rag gold and green...

Every dime counts for survival

So carry on Malc - ripoff our rivals

Every dime counts for survival

Blues love Glazers - but not our rivals

I'm a manc with blue conviction

I'm a manc who doesn't know

if you're Man ure, or if you're Norwich

I'm so confused, just let me know

Come a come a come a come a come come a come on Malcolm

don't sell, don't go, don't sell don't go

Dollars don't come easy so raise prices to live your dream

Rag gold and green, Theatre of screams...

-----------

laugh thats pretty good
