Bollocks to Alan Green, bleating away sanctimoniously about what a disgrace it was, the whole match was brilliant. Arsenal were great in the first half, and Chelsea were stronger in the second. Robben made a huge difference when he came on, and despite bearing the social stigma of gross ugliness, Drogba wasn’t as much of a cunt as he normally is. Eboue still managed to make an arse of himself like normal, and even Fabregas pretended he’d been hit in the face.
And what a fight! It was just like the glory days of football, where you could guarantee that at least one match a week would end up in a 22 player brawl, and this time we even had the added bonus of a player being sent off for nothing at all. Eboue twatted Bridge, Adebayor got shown the red card and almost swung for the ref. Oh my aching sides!
The only thing the game lacked was an equaliser, so we could have had another 30 minutes of hearty knockabout fun. Boys against men, it’s what football’s all about.
