I was hoping beyond hope that Arsenal would come out of Stamford Bridge with a win. This didn’t happen on this fine Sunday afternoon. Chelsea cleaned the Gunners clocks 2-0.

The entire match can be broken down into four separate plays. Two of those plays resulted in two scores and the other two resulted into bupkis.

The rest is chump change.

Am I sad? Does a chicken have lips? Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Of course I am.

The Blues have not lost at Stamford Bridge all season. Chelsea has given up just one point in their house.

This is the plight of the Arsenal fan. We always have hope that the Gunners will win but in reality, Arsenal breaks your heart just like my Philadelphia Eagles.

Let’s look at the four match changers.

The first pivotal play happened in the 8^th minute.

Before this, the Gunners were in total control of the match. Then wham bam thank you madam. Chelsea took off like a bat out of hell down the other end of then pitch. Walcott knocks the ball out of bounds. The result is a corner kick for the Blues.

The ball meets John Terry’s head. Terry directs the header pass to mate Drogba.

Drogba peeled back to the right post while Terry placed the ball near the far right post.

Drogba’s one timer is into the back of the net.

It is 1-0 Chelsea at the eight-minute mark.

The Gunners Fabregas lollipops the ball over the Blues defender Carvalho straight into the waiting arms Arshavin. Arshavin’s one timer is kicked saved away by Cech. Cech stopped em dead on in the 17^th minute.

Arsenal’s Arshavin lets fly with a shot on goal in the 20^th minute. Carvalho blocks the shot. We are off and running down the other end of the pitch.

John Terry feeds Drogba. Drogba faints left and goes right. Drogba stops. He pops. Goal in the 23^rd minute for Chelsea.

This sucker is over.

You can say what you want but money talks and bullshit walks.

Four plays killed Arsenal.

That’s it folks four plays.

Does this kill Arsenal’s chances of winning the EPL?

No. It puts them on life support.

This is the good news. There are fifteen matches left and anything can happen.

Chelsea is back in the catbird seat with 58 points. Man U is second with 56. Arsenal is third with 49. Liverpool is fourth with 44. Tottenham is fifth with 43.

The race is on baby.
