Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea

ChelseaVery frustrating. Is it me, or did someone flip the damn momentum switch somewhere and turn that match on its head? Even before Chelsea went down a man, Arsenal were pounding them so it seemed as if we’d take it 3-0. Then, all of a sudden, we’re up against the wall and Chelsea’s playing as if they had 12 men on the pitch rather than 10. It was very hard to watch the last 30 minutes after watching the first 60, that’s for sure.

Of the 6 games played against the top teams, we lost only once to Liverpool, drew twice with Chelsea, and served two defeats to our new Prem champions, Manchester United. Something no other big team can say. But as they say, the Premier League is a marathon, not a sprint. And although our record speaks for itself, you really have to admire the run Manchester United put in this year. Very impressive, boys. That trophy is well deserved. Congratulations, Sir Alex & The Red Devils and your fans. Well done!
