Remember Remember, the 8th of November
All those who laughed at him on the Moscow pitch
He reminds you, Payback’s a heartless bitch
For when the going’s tough, and devils block your way
Like a sunbeam from heavens, He rises
The Hero of the Day

This was billed as a classic. Games don’t come much bigger than Chelsea v Man Utd. And players don’t come much bigger than John Terry. So, it was fitting that he grabbed the only goal in what was a close affair.
United came here as the underdogs, and they played exactly like that. Their formation, with a 5-man midfield instead of 2 upfront, was designed to stifle and frustrate Chelsea. And who can blame them. They knew they had to stop Chelsea’s fullbacks from marauding forward, and also cut the supply line to Anelka and Drogba from the midfield, while trying to grab a goal of their own on a counter-attack. It was a match where Fergie would have been happy with a 0-0, and they almost got it. Almost !
It did get pretty boring in the middle. All I could see for a while was Essien getting the ball. Anderson trying to win it from him, but left chasing Essien’s shadow. Fletcher arriving out of nowhere, and together him and Anderson sandwiching Essien. Chelsea free kick. This was the sort of game where Fletcher was given a green light to lunge at the nearest player in Blue who had possession of the ball. So boring, that a gentleman even found time to do this,
So bored and thirsty for action was our Little Evans by the 70th minute that he let fly. No, not the ball. A kick, straight out of Kung-Fu Panda, aimed squarely at Drogba’s chest. A normal referee would have given a straight red to Evans and a penalty to Chelsea. Instead, Martin Atkinson showed a yellow to Drogba. Spurred by the sense of injustice, Chelsea surged forward, and when Terry rose highest to head home Lampard’s free kick, the retribution was complete. Was Drogba offside ? Who cares, he didn’t even touch the ball.
Spurred now, by this false sense of injustice, United players started showing their true colors. Baby Shrek, Little Evans, and Valencia were duly booked in the last 10 mins. Fletcher tried, in vain, to break some more legs. Uber’tan’ and Owen were thrown in for good measure. But Chelsea saw out the last few minutes against 11 freaked-out mancs and ran out deserved winners in the end.
Ofcourse, the next few days will see another round of ref-bashing by Fergie, after which he will be cautioned and made to apologize. United fans will whine about how they were the better team. Considering they will have a full 2 weeks of international break to whine and moan, we will just let them be.

This post is so childish that it doesn’t even warrant a reply
which begs the question, why exactly did u post that in the first place ?
but i’m not surprised…this is the standard response u get from a manc after losing a game.
Remember Remember, the 8th of November
I beg your pardon… But what is so significant about this date? That you robbed us 1-0 at SB? I understand that it is a dig at Nov 6. But youse chelshits can’t even begin to fathom what it means to have the same manager for 23 years who has won everything there is to win. Afterall, you’re only into your 5th manager in the past 3 years….

He reminds you, Payback’s a heartless bitch
Ha ha ha.. LMAO at this….. Do you begin to say that beating United in the league is payback to the CL loss? YOU ARE ONE DELUDED SOUL….Tell you what .. You take the win against us for the next 3 years in the league and we’ll still be happy with the ONE night of JOHN ‘SLIPPERY’ TERRY
However boring a game may be, brushing of one’s teeth is done in a toilet. Which i guess the gentleman was at considering the Bridge is home to shit.
It is so amazing here. When utd win their big games (read man city and tottenham), this blog goes berserk. mancs drop in from all directions, and crap this whole place up.
but utd lose a game, and where are they ??
but they do read the blog, then everyone decides to give it a 1-star rating (not for the post, but because they lost, and because that is the least they have to give to make the vote count) and a thumbs down to every comment going against utd.
then there’s a gooner, who gets probably one chance in a year to rub it in to the mancs. but all he can think of is what he religiously follows every weekend (“shit”)
my daily comedy dose. hahahahahahahahaha….
then everyone decides to give it a 1-star rating
I’d say ( and the readers will agree) that the 1-star rating are because of your deluded post and stupid claims…
People like Arvi and Maddy have also taken a dig at UTD in their posts, but they haven’t got 1 star ratings have they? That should go a long way into answering your question.
Why is this post so gay? All I want to know… This is a football blog isnt it?
no sir, u got the wrong place. this is the international man-love association. please close the door on the way out.
Hey Lefty,
If you want football blog, read articles by either one of the following –
Maddy, Ducky, Arvi
The Chelsea section of this blog still needs a writer who has been successfully toilet-trained… Don’t take ‘keyrock’ seriously… I’m sure he still thinks WWE (erstwhile WWF) is real..
While i appreciate the fact that you consider me readable Keda, and while i have on occasion been tempted to think the same of Keyur, on this occasion i cannot help but take his side. This is an old school proper GLOAT post. And i don’t expect you to take it too well. However as an Arsenal fan he gets my thumbs up 🙂
Comments on ‘keyrock’ and his skill as a writer are not due to this post alone. It’s the level of maturity that quite a few of us readers are a little alarmed about.
Gloat as much as you want – it’s your day after all. But, to start comparing Champions’ League finals losses to home wins in a league (I mean, you haven’t even won the league yet!), just shows that a little growing up (at least as a writer) still has to happen.
The posts are neither funny not particularly well writen. It’s more like a 5-year old boasting to the whole world that his seven year old sister is the best hop-skotch player in the world!
Actually, coming to think about it, Keyrock my man, you have every reason to gloat. And he’s got a point about the rating you know all you bloody mancs. (Yes Keyur, this is still me)
well done chelsea boys for the win. And gr8 post keyur. Remember I have given a 5-star rating for this. But the Carefree 😛 Chant at the end!!!! Man….
Arvi,
you are like the policemen of indian movies, coming right at the end when the villains are already rolling on the floor crying in pain. Anyway keyur you have my 5 on 5. boys chip in with your votes. The first JT hero part was fantastic. Viva John Terry!
Payback is a bitch..
What could be sweeter vengeance than beating us at the Bridge? I’m sure John will finally not wake up at night, pants all wet, shouting “.. but it rained..”
@Vishwa
