So a couple of things to write about then. First of all, we had a good win Saturday over Everton; a day full of fanfare and legends as we celebrated our historic 125th anniversary. It was a bit of a scrappy affair to be honest, and it certainly wasn't any sort of dominating performance, but on the night it was a win, and that was the perfect cap to an historic day.
Everton seemed content to park the proverbial bus, and it very well could've put a damper on the atmosphere were it not for a moment of brilliance from our captain.
"Who needs Batman when we've got Robin?" Indeed.
It was a goal a former captain of ours, Thierry Henry, would've been proud of, and because of the occasion he was in attendance to witness it. I haven't heard the stadium erupt quite like that in a long time, and for good reason. The goal was world class. Truly we have one of, if not the best striker in Europe at the moment. It reminds one a bit of the days when Henry was our talisman and captain.
Either way the win was deserved, despite the lads making a bit of a hard time of it. And it moved us into fourth place in the league over the weekend, which was surely a bit of a confidence builder for the team. Of course a little treat for we fans came Sunday when Stoke put an end to the Sp*rs' unbeaten run. It's about time they were stopped dead in their tracks. It's frankly disgusting to see them doing so well this season. Anyway, so strange as it was, I was a Stoke supporter for 90 minutes Sunday.
That leads us to the next talking point, tonight's match between Chelsea and Manchester City in west London. I wasn't quite sure who I wanted to win the match tonight, but I decided that I definitely wanted Man City's unbeaten run to end: the Invincibles' record must not even be thought of being challenged. So for the game I chose to support Chelsea.
A horrid feeling I can assure you.
After getting over feeling thoroughly dirty inside I could take a step back and appreciate the fact that City's run is finally over. Elation soon set in. So that sets up an interesting proposition come Sunday. Man City have now been eliminated from the Champions League and lost their first domestic game of the season in quick succession. Add to that they've lost their first choice left-back to suspension (Hey thanks Clichy for being a good man and getting yourself sent off!) and they're very much a wounded animal at the moment.
A second loss in a row for the Manchester club perhaps? One can only hope. Certainly we've got some confidence at the moment, and that confidence factor may be a big one for both teams this weekend. Time will only tell. Till next time then,
