London is Blue


Who would have thought the biggest London derby will be so so one sided. Well to be honest all us Chelsea fans expected Mourinho to have the upper hand on Wenger as always but beating him by such a huge margin, that was unexpected. Defeating Arsenal 6-0 and literally knocking them out of the title race, that's a dream come true for any Chelsea fan. Arsene Wenger will surely never forget his 1000th game in charge thanks to our boss, the special one, Jose Mourinho.
What a start it was to the game. Fast, positive, looking for the goal right from the word go were Chelsea and they broke through early again thanks to a superb left footed finish from Eto'o. Schurrle continuing his good form made it two for the Blues within a couple of minutes and it was 2-0 after 7 mins for Chelsea and as Jose Mourinho said in his post match press conference the game was over at that point only. Then came one of the most hilarious referring decisions I have ever seen. One player handed the ball and another one was sent off. Andre Marriner surely needs to get his eyes checked. Hazard made it three from the penalty spot and Oscar scored a much needed goal for his own confidence to make it four before half time. Jose seems to love Arsene just too much, against any other team he would have asked his team to consolidate in the second half starting it with a 4-0 lead but Hazard said that Jose asked them to go out and score more goals in the second half. He really wanted to annihilate Arsenal it seems. And Chelsea did carryout the boss' instruction successfully scoring two more goals without conceding any to make it 6-0. Oscar scored a brilliant curling goal from outside the penalty box to make it five before he was subbed. His replacement Mohamed Salah went on to score his first Chelsea goal from a beautiful long pass by Nemanja Matic to complete the drubbing. It was one of the best Chelsea performance I have seen in a while. Boring they said, scored six they never said.
Everything was positive for Chelsea in the game other than maybe the hamstring injury to Samuel Eto'o, although everyone's hoping it's not a serious one. All the players were very good, even Fernando Torres, made some good runs and passes helping his teammates in notching up the goals. Nemanja Matic, what a player, what a beast of a player, he surely is soon gonna be the best CDM in the world. Brilliant defensively and has the talent to see and execute a forward pass. His two assists played a vital role in the victory. Matic's signing in January could well be a title winning one. The best defense in the league was again at it's best, Cesar Azpilicueta was again at his best. He at the moment is simply unbeatable, no one can go past him the way he's playing. He performed brilliantly again and was rewarded with the Man of the Match award. Totally deserved it. He is turning out to be the best full back of the season in the league and one of the best in the world on current form. And we all must remember he is a RB playing as a LB. Attacking wise it was a flawless performance, what else can anyone say when the scoreline is 6-0. The best thing though about the attacking display was Eden Hazard wasn't at his menacing best, he was good but not as hazardous as he can be and yet Chelsea pumped in six against a "very good" defense, at least that's what the pundits had to say about the Gunners' defense before the match. Oscar getting two goals was the best part about it all. He probably needed it the most, will be a huge confidence booster for him. Schurrle getting goals regularly will be massively helpful for him personally and the team as well. Mourinho is making a dangerous team for the future. With this momentum gain Chelsea will hopefully go on to win most of their remaining league games and fight for the title till the very end. Jose Mourinho's "Little Horse" is giving the big ones a run for their money. Up the Chels. Keep the Blue Flag Flying High. Always remember Arsene Wenger and other London clubs. London is Blue.
