aston villa 0-0 arsenal
...goal less draw..not the result i wanted but a point is a fair result...chelsea manhandles birmingham in which was supposed to be a good game; turned out too one-sided..lamps double and florent malouda's rare first team appearance ended in a good day..3-0 the final scoreline..so that means:

1). Chelsea P: 22 Pts: 51
2). Manchester United P:23 Pts: 50
3). Arsenal P: 23 Pts: 49

the blues can run away with their cherished game in-hand..sunday as val mentioned..the second clash between arsenal and united..this time at the emirates..i remember the first outing well..gunners looked strong all over the course of the match..then a giggs defence splitting through ball set up a rooney penalty off of a foul on 'keeper almunia..then out of nowhere giggs sets up another: bending cross into the box only to be cleared into our own net by abou diaby..really good header if you see it own goal or not..lol..later, van persie's whipping free kick shakes the bar..then my heart sinks when a van persie equaliser is called off from a gallas offside..2-1 final scoreline...

a little worried this time..rooney is in good form..united as a whole havent been particularly well so we have to take advantage..we need this match to have any sort of confidence heading into the chelsea derby. one point against united isnt enough after drawing with villa..im sweating over this now geez...i was rather confident we'd get results but already looks mediocre..if arsenal can just get maximum points from united and liverpool, i dont care what the chelsea outcome would be... 7 of 12 points is good enough for me..we might slip a bit, but we've a fairly easy road to the finish except a date with city later.
