Manchester United lost 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight meaning Arsenal are now 4 points behind the leaders with a game in hand. Win that and it’s down to just a single point.
It’s not often Arsenal fans are celebrating a Chelsea win but I’m not ashamed to admit I was an honorary Blue tonight and to make things even better, United’s rock Nemanja Vidic got sent off meaning he will join Rio Ferdinand in missing the trip to Anfield this weekend. Another defeat their for united and Arsenal have a great chance to lift the title this year!
After the disaster of Sunday’s Carling Cup Final, Gooners needed a lift and a win tomorrow over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup will round off a great few days for Arsenal (despite the news of RVP being sidelined for 3 weeks!). Let’s get some positivity back, there is still a lot to play for this season and Chelsea’s win tonight has opened the door for us in the league. Make no mistake, the game against United at the Emirates could be the most important match in years for Arsenal. Lets just hope RVP, Fabregas, et al can get fit and STAY fit for that one!
