No way that Chelsea will not beat Norwich, in my opinion. Norwich are a dead man walking. Now Palace. That´s another matter. The pressure on Liverpool is huge. They've got to win just to still be around. They could just fold. A draw, even a loss, can certainly be envisaged. In any case, all of this is irrelevant. It is firmly in our hands.
Now that was a huge win yesterday, when you think of our record there, but I hope I won't be pissing anyone off If I state my honest opinion that we were not far short of shit for the last twenty five minutes. That game should have been dead and buried at 3-1. Instead, we handed the initiative right back to them. I couldn't understand it. They smelt the fear, and they poured forward. No comparison with the Palace game, which we just quietly bossed. But it's true, how long is it since we've played a full ninety minutes with Sergio, Yaya, Vinny and David Silva all on the pitch? I'd just love to see what would happen. I've virtually forgotten what it's like.
Patrick Vieira says something interesting in the documentary about his rivalry with Keane, The Best of Enemies (incidentally, even if you loathe Keane as a human being, which I do, that'a fascinating doumentary to watch - it' s on U Tube). He says that United in their best years knew how to play badly and win, and that Arsenal didn't. Perhaps, just perhaps, we're learning how to do that. A useful skill to acquire, no doubt about it.
