    It's to do with the TV or something, every team has to have so many games on TV, and Wigan had to be shown, and this slot was the only availible time, which screwed Chelsea over. Then the same thing happened with Everton, which is why they are playing on Thursday aswell.

    Chelsea play with so little desire its unreal.

    They are gona turn it on for 5 minutes, get a 1-0 victory, and keep plodding through.

    For all the talk that comes out of them, they show none of it on the pitch. If they play like this against Liverpool, they'll get murdered.

    Chelsea lining up to score, Kirkland made a great save and then Essien scored from Anelka pass

    United won't be stopped now Heskey get Wigan a draw in last minute.

    ****ing hell yeh!!
    If we beat Blackburn, which is no easy feat, a win at Stamford Bridge would give us the title!

    I think you can safely call the title now.

    It will be intriguing to see how Chelsea respond to this because they have to play Everton on Thursday up at Goodison and they are still fighting for fourth spot so it will be a big test for them. They are badly hurt now much like Arsenal were going into the United match.

    That game is going to be VERY INTERESTING!

    Arsenal can finish second!

    Arsenal and Chelsea on the same goal difference too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭Dun laoire


    4 points dished out tonight. Chelsea are gonna have a game on their hands at Goodison. Everton will hardly fear them

    Absolutely. I can see that match being extremely physical. The crowd should be raucous and neither side can afford to lose.

    Roll on Thursday!

    Games like tonight are the reason why nobody other than United deserves to win the league. Here's Chelsea with the chance to be level on points with United by Thursday night and put real pressure on yet they go and bottle it. If a team can't go out and beat a team like Wigan at home when they simply must then they don't deserve to be champions.

    The same goes for Arsenal given their last 13 games or so.

    still all to play for - if chelsea win their next two games United will be under massive pressue.

    I ain't counting any chickens yet. That glass is half freaking empty.

    Some tricky games left, Wigan may not be finished spoiling peoples parties.
    In saying that, Chelsea need to step up a gear, and I dont know if Grant is capable of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Ah well United can afford to lose to Chelsea and still win the title, it can't have been made any easier for them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    They could afford to lose to them before last nights game as their goal difference is too big.

    Yeah but now they can afford to lose 19-0 and still be champs. Could happen.

    Wait til you see wigan wont need result on the last day they will be safe. And if United need a result and (considering how bad the pitch was for the Arsenal game) Steve Bruce will get out on the JJB Pitch and roll it himself if he needs to so they can play nice champagne football to win the premiership!

    Tbh, thats very unlikely at this stage. Chelsea draw with everton on Thursday and Man U beat Blackburn, Man U would only need a draw at Chelsea to secure the title.

    Its not as if Wigan really put up a fight to Chelsea last night anyway, Its just Chelsea were not able to finish them off and were punished at the death. Man U had the same sort of game lately against Derby, except they were able to hold out.

    Yeah, if that happens... Everton aren't in great form themselves, and Blackburn away is always a tough game.

    Far from over.
