Oh boy, what can I say! Yesterday was the most brilliant game of the season. I'm so so proud of my boys, so very proud. They were brilliant, each and every one of them. This was the perfect response to Benitez' stupid press conference. Take that Rafa! Go make another list about why we're going to be champions come May. Sir Alex Ferguson, not Mr. Ferguson, mind you, gave the perfect response when he said that Rafa must be very 'angry and disturbed'. He was so full of pity, it made me laugh.
But I feel so ashamed too. Oh Giggsy, please forgive me!!! When I saw the lineup, I couldn't believe that Sir Alex had left Michael out, picking Giggsy instead. Giggsy and Fletch against Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Joe Cole and Mikel. I honestly thought we would be horribly outrun, it would be a massacre. I was praying for a draw. But Giggsy proved me oh so wrong. He was brilliant, absolutely breathtakingly brilliant. He made Chelsea's midfield look terribly ordinary. Like Sir Alex said afterwards, they couldn't live with him. I've never been happier to be proved completely wrong. Well done, Ry! You're just a genius. Special mention to Fletch who worked his socks off and proved why he's such a big-game player.
My favorite part of the whole game(apart from the game itself) was the disallowed goal before half-time. That was just so ingenius! They really worked on it and pulled it off to perfection. Damn the linesman for being so shortsighted. Such genius deserved to pay off. And it's perfectly legal too. Aww, that would have been such an awesome goal. And poor Cris - that one and the one later which was wrongly flagged offside, he should have had them both. He played much better in the second half yesterday than he has whole season! Thoroughly deserved one goal at least. On a side note, how sick are Chelsea supporters to be singing "You should have died in that tunnel " ? To wish death on someone, that has to be the worst thing anyone can do, I don't care if it is meant in the name of rivalry or anywhere else.
Special praise to my sweetheart Jonny Evans. Darling, you made me proud! Everyone was going on about how Drogba would outmuscle him but Jonny didn't allow Drogba to even have a sniff. Of course, a huge part was down to Vida too, who was as brilliant as ever.
And Patrice Evra, the god among left-backs! How good is it to have him back? According to some forums, after the game in an interview with a French channel, he said "I dedicate this victory to the English FA!" *laughs* Oh, I love you so much, Pat!!!

Ole!!! ♥
If we win our next two games, we'll go top of the table before the Merseyside Derby. I can hardly wait! It's been too damn long since we stamped our authority on that table. Come on boys, now please don't slip up against Wigan and Bolton!
EDIT: A huge huge congratulation to Gary and Emma on the birth of baby Molly! Aww, I'm so happy for them!! What a wonderful weekend for Gaz.
