MATCH REPORT

My wish came true!


Anelka won the Golden Boot last night after a superb goal opened the scoring in an entertaining second half at the Stadium of Light that saw the Black Cats breathe a huge sigh of relief.

We almost scored early in the contest again when Essien headed Anelka's (?) cross into the side netting. However it was to be a scoreless first half in which we attacked, but did not finish. I feel that finishing is where we need to strengthen in the summer, as we could be looking forward to Man U in Rome this week if Drogba had put his chances in the net. Although some penalties would've been nice there..

Sunderland were playing like a Premiership team, and if they had gone down, I would be campaigning for relegation to be judged on performances, as Newcastle are, and play shite (how's that for pommy speak?!). They had chances, which Cech unfortunately looked a bit shaky on, but still remained the brick wall he is.

The second half began with Cech trying to be like Ronaldo, who was sitting on the bench in England's favourite place, Hull City. Unfortunately PC1 isn't quite the same as CR7, and Grant Leadbitter nearly converted.

Then Anelka secured his Golden Boot with a great goal which further pushes his case to stay next season. His finish smashed the top left corner.

Then the Cats equalised five minutes later, providing more cusp for why they are a Premiership team. However, sub Salomon Kalou took us back into the lead with his first goal for quite some time, a great touch followed up with a blasted finish. 1-2.

Ashley Cole wrapped up the scoring with the third and final game for our Premiership campaign, Sunderland going head over heels and Malouda providing Ashley with the ball to score. He said he wanted to score more goals, and that mission began tonight. Ashley, you are my Player Other Than Lampard Player of the Season, and you can expect a Chelsea Blue tribute to come in the offseason. To Bilic, Riijkard, Terim, Moyes or O'Neill, do not let him join Barca or Real! (I didn't mention Ancelotti, as that's how much I don't want him).

Sunderland's consolation inspired them to push for an equalizer which would've definitely kept them in the Premiership, but with Shearer not providing the goods it was the Cats day, and not a day to even be closely related to Newcastle United Football Club (or Middlesbrough, for that matter). Perhaps we should buy out St James Park for our youth = ) ?

Now, Everton awaits at Wembley, as all roads lead to London (not Rome, if you got the wrong memo)

PREDICTION OUTCOME
Well, I was off slightly (5-0!) but then again, only one per cent of IKTS players correctly predicted a 2-3 away win for Chelsea.

COMING UP
Everton in FA Cup Final at Wembley.

The countdown begins here, on The Chelsea Blue!
