Judgement Day Part One
By BlueBlood
December 11 2004
The countdown continues in a fast and furious fashion after the the result of the Merseyside Derby earlier today. Everton beating Liverpool 1-0, Everton's first success over the 'Pool in a few years at Goodison Park.
The result sees Everton leapfrog over Arsenal into second place, putting them three points behind the current leaders Chelsea. If Chelsea lose tomorrow, not only are Arsenal back in within a shout, but Everton surely now be considered challengers for the title. And why not? Everton are there on merit. However contemplating a Chelsea defeat is not on the agenda. Frankly I think the game will end all square. Although Chelsea have a slight advantage by beating 'The Arse' at Highbury in the CL back in April. 'The Arse', without Vieira whatever you say can turn a game on its head, means that Arsenal will probably end the game with all players on the park (snigger). But at the moment Arsenal are like a wounded animal, and you know what they say about wounded animals. Chelsea however are flying high no doubt. Despite the defeat in Porto midweek and I still maintain that Super Frank should have had a penalty a minute or so before Porto scored their winner. Chelsea can go to Crybury and play with fear and may well posiibly come away with all three points. Chelsea's away form in the Premiership is second to none and despite what you read in the press, there is no way Arsenal are looking forward to this game. So what they beat The Brum 3-0 and Rosenberg 5-1, hardly teams that set the world on fire. If Henry is not on his game or in the mood for it then perhaps Arsenal will be playing with ten men LOL. For me if he starts 'The Arse's danger man is Bergkamp. He maybe getting on a bit but he can still turn on the style and cause us many many problems. But what I am looking forward to more than anything is to see how our beloved JM deals with his first major confrontation in the Premiership. His first head to head with Arsene Whinger, oops sorry Wenger. Man Utd and SAF doesn't count as JM had SAF in his pocket already when the teams met on the first day of the season, due to JMs funny antics at OT when Porto beat Man Ure last year whilst Porto were on their way to winning the CL crown. Lets be fair. CR would have had a better return last season had it not been for some huge cock ups during our five meetings with 'The Arse.' I mean one draw, three defeats and of course the 'memorable' one. What was it 'Close Encounters of the 2-1 Kind?' The tide against 'The Arse' in the Premiership has got to turn. Why not start with tomorrow?? I predict the following starting line-up Cech Ferreira Terry Carvalho Gallas Makelele Duff Tiago Lampard Robben Drogba As usual.
