What a Great Day...

• Man U 3 - Wigan 1
• Chelsea 2 - Reading 2
• Blackburn 1 - Liverpool 0

Out of three matches that I'm really watching out for, I think I got 2 good results. Liverpool, well, their run for third place has come to a halt by a resilient Blackburn. I sort of have a bad feeling about them last week, esp during first half. Good results for Blackburn though. Kinda disappointed that they flirting with relegation this season considering their fine performance last season. They do have good players whom i really like, Pedersen is one of them and Lucas Neil the other. But tough luck for Steven Gerrard, cause Liverpool was doing so well with him playing in the middle.

Now that i'm watching Watford against Arsenal, I'm silently hoping that Arsenal would slip a bit, maybe getting a draw, in a day where all the home teams seem to get the results.

Back to the 2 matches concerning Chelsea and Man U. Caught a bit of the Chelsea Match, just in time to watch how Cole comically did his part in throwing Chelsea's title away. For all his moaning and complaining, he is actually quite a decent and consistent player. My view is that Chelsea is really suffering from Terry's injury, and good news for all man u fans, Terry might be out for a longer period if he has to go thru surgery. Not that i'm gloating about it cause Terry is one of the few Chelsea's players that i admire. For all his drive, determination and leadership, he does earn my respect. Hmm... why din mourinho play Boulahrouz today? Aww.. he din even make it to the "bench of the expensive butts". haha... i really miss him. I think Mourinho really shot his own leg this time round by bringing on Cole for Bridge.

Whatever... as long as Chelsea drops points I'm happy. Even happier when it's an own goal and it's scored late in the game. They are tasting their own medicine after doing it to Wigan and Newcastle.

To Man U game, to be fair to Wigan, they were in it for the first half. However, with the introduction of Ronaldo, Man U looked like a different team. I think everyone is giving Ronaldo too much credit. Till date, I'm not really convinced about his "transformation" from the player who cannot get a proper single shot nor pass from his way-too-fancy legs. but I'm starting to like him. it's obvious that man u is where it is because of him. But let's not forget scholes who delivered the corner for the first goal, park who won the penalty for the second and rooney and solskjaer for the third. Ok. solskjaer, for his predator instinct, i take back my words about him being only worthy of a championship team.

Man-of-the-match for me belongs to Vidic, who kept Heskey at bay for the whole night and looking at how Chelsea was almost ruined by Heskey alone, i think vidic deserve more credit for his effort. Rooney, he's plain unlucky today for not getting onto the score sheet. He is working really hard and we can see that from the 3rd goal. But who needs rooney to score as long as he is doing what he is doing now... right?

I think i'll have a good sleep tonight, knowing at that the gap between us and Chelsea is widening. Can't wait for them to self-destruct AGAIN with Fulham. While we will once again trample Reading and increase the gap to 7.
