Three big games in a week, three wins and three clean sheets. Awesome. We faced Villa on 27th September and won convincingly 3-0. Oscar gave us the lead from Willian's pull back and then early in the second half Costa scored a brilliant glancing header from Dave's cross, before Willian opened his account for the season with a close range finish after a scramble inside the six yard box. An efficient win, only made more memorable by Mourinho attempting to shake Paul Lambert and Roy Keanes hand 30 seconds before full time, only for them to refuse stating that the match 'wasn't finished yet'. Keane has since released a book and been his usual mouthy self in the media (only seems like an angry bitter hypocritical man to me) and since said Mourinho attempting to shake their hands before full time was a 'disgrace' and you'd get knocked out for doing that in Sunday league.
Firstly Keane - this isn't sunday league, so calm down. Secondly, the game WAS over, it was 3-0. I mean, come on! If it was 1-0 to either Chelsea or Villa, Jose obviously wouldn't have done that. He didn't do it the other week against City. Not to mention the reason he does it in the first place is to phone his wife to let her know the score! His reaction in the press conference the other day though was a great comeback, sarcastically saying 'I appreciate comments as they are both good examples of polite and well educated people'. Mugged off haha. The second game against Lisbon produced nothing of note other than a first goal from a free kick this season. From Matic of all people. A header as well! 1-0 and our first champions league win of the season to top the group. A quiet game really.
The week finished with those North London pin heads Arsenal. Always a pleasure beating them - it wasn't going to be 6-0 again but any win against will do. The game started though with Arsenal having a lot of possession, no chances though. Courtois had to go off though after suffering bleeding from the eye, which looked worrying.....turned out to be nothing serious though. It gave a chance for Cech to get a run out, although he practically had nothing to do, as Arsenal couldn't get a single one of their 10 shots on target. Chelsea despite only having 5 shots, created the most clear cut chances. Hazard opened the scoring with a superb run into the box before Koscielny brought him down. The Belgium got up and took the penalty and scored to give Chelsea the lead. After that - the Mourinho v Wenger show. A bad challenge by Cahill on Sanchez brought an angry reaction from Wenger who entered Mourinho's technical area and then decided to push Jose - obviously Jose had got under his skin yet again. The pair mouthed off at each other for the rest of the first half and Jose even refused to shake Wengers hand after the game - it was glorious to watch. This feud I predict will be the new Ferguson v Wenger, only (hopefully) a bit more one sided! Anyway, back to the game,and a fairly comfortable win was sealed 12 minutes from the end by a fantastic goal by Cost - superb pass from Fabregas over the top for Cost to run onto and lob Szczesney deftly. Wonderful goal. Also, on the subject of Fabregas, I thought it was disgraceful of the Arsenal fans to give him such a poor and bitter reaction by booing ad jeering him all the way through the match, especially given how classy Chelsea fans were with Lampard the other week. Just goes to show, you can't buy class ....
