that was a rather nervous 90 minutes or so. against man city, it felt like Chelsea were never going to score. against everton, i knew we were. but wayward shooting from tiago and lampard all the time. i think they must have took 10 shots between them. also combined with great goalkeeping from martyn. really frustrating. joe cole put in a untypically effective performance, not too much showboating. gudjohnson grabbed d tap-in from a rebound in d 69th min when gallas' shot had hit the post.
everton were by no means cakewalk. but stupid james beattie went to heatbutt gallas in the 8th minute. and his side had to play the next 80 mins a man less. even if gallas really did make the most out of the challenge i'd say he was just being professional. beattie shldnt have done it la. stupid. and right in front of the ref.
12 points clear now. at least for tonight. even if manure and arsenal win we'll still be 9 points clear. ppl dun seem to realise than 9 points is still a lot. and i hope gary neville shuts up.
and petr cech has now gone 967 minutes without conceding. that equates to 16 hours and 7 mins. the last time he had to pick the ball out of the net was dec 12: thierry henry's debatable quick freekick. 2 months without conceding a goal! woo. long may it continue.
the world record stands at 1275 mins, set by abel resino of athletico madrid in 1991. 309 minutes to go. =D
