Chelsea take victory from
defeats
Lets not lose perspective on things right now. While last weeks
results were big, the overall effect is insignificant.
It might be in many peoples interests to call the title race back
on or a four way race but this really isnt the case. In fact
the race was never off, and theres no way that either Liverpool or
Arsenal can overhaul a dozen points. Dont forget, there are only
fourteen games to go this season. Both teams should be bemoaning
the slow starts to they had to the league.
Man U and Chelsea have both only lost three games this season; to
expect the Red Devils to lose four more is unrealistic. But as I
said the race was never over. Im still backing Chelsea, especially
after Arsenals last-gasp winner on Sunday. After their abject
performance against Liverpool, The Blues must have feared the
worst; a nine point deficit. And should Man U have won, then I
might have changed my tune. Henrys header will have deflated
Fergies team and boosted Mourinhos men immeasurably.
My inkling is that Liverpool will hold off Arsenals challenge and
retain third spot. They are out of the two domestic cups and they
are second favourites against Barca in the Champions League. This
means they should remain focussed, and well rested for the
important run-in.
