That’s Right, Only One Team Was Playing!

Monday 14th April
Chelsea 1 – 1 Wigan

Ah, don’t you just love it? Latics have surely ended Chelsea’s title chances and the talk isn’t of how well Wigan played but how bad Chelsea were and how Man Utd have won the title.

Well that’s absolute bollocks! Latics competed for the full 90 minutes, even when we fell behind to an Essien goal and it looked like they would go on and score again, we never gave up.

Latics frustrated their millionaire hosts in the first half. Valencia had a decent chance that was saved by Cech, or Robocop as he should be called! Kirkland was in great form at the other end. A great save from the moaning Anelka was followed by a second half masterclass. If he isn’t at least on the bench for England, it’s a disgrace.

But as Chelsea brought Joe ‘Oddbod’ Cole on, they came at Latics and took the lead through Essien’s deflected shot. Not long before, Kirkland had made another great save and Terry hit the bar.

It was unbearable to watch at times but Bruce made a couple of subs and Sibierski came close to scoring with a shot, which Cech saved. Essien then was denied by Kirkland - then came the big moment. Latics came upfield and as the ball was passed from right to left, Jason Koumas put in a wonderful cross and Emile Heskey volleyed the ball at Cech, who couldn’t keep it out. Stamford Bridge fell silent!

It was a great moment, marred by all the pricks talking shite afterwards, but this is a great point towards our survival hopes. Surely one more win would see us safe?

Next up at the JJB is Spurs, a good side but they are blowing hot and cold at the moment, so it’s a game we can win!

See you later!
