For now, let’s enjoy some sweet memories from matches against Chelsea:

So, Chelsea’s bickering and complaining has, again, got under the skin of the officials. John Terry’s red card for a cynical foul on Manchester City’s striker Jo has gone completely unpunished and has resulted in the FA embarrassing themselves once again. The rematch between the two finalists of last season’s Champions League final between, Chelsea, the runners up and, Manchester United, the reigning Champions of Europe, will be eagerly anticipated by all, but perhaps none more so than John Terry himself, who will be seeking to make up for his embarrassing miss in the Champions League final penalty shootout.

May 21st - another unforgettable day in my life. It was the day I’ve finished my exams and my mood couldn’t have been better when I came home: CL final in a couple of hours, a couple of hours that seemed an eternity. I could have sworn the time was slowing down. I was very excited and couldn’t find my place. Manchester United playing in the final! I turned on my computer and made a playlist with all of my Untied chants and songs.

Because I don’t like the commentators from our National Television I decided to watch the match over the internet. I regretted this decision later though - ESPN. I found a stream and began watching. The pre-match was rather boring and useless for an United fan, with most pundits talking about Chelsea and how great they were.

With only three matches to go, it is pretty evident that the game against Chelsea means more than just three points. This is the game that can decide the winner of this season’s premiership trophy. It means the whole championship, pride and glory that we fought for since August rests on a single match.

Arsenal’s incredible start to the season meant we were struggling to keep up from the start. It was like a beauty contest between two models. The difference was that only Manchester United had the brains for the Question and Answer part. But suddenly, out of nowhere a beast has appeared, playing some annoying, grotesque football, and on Saturday the beauty and the beast face each other in a match, which promises to be a really interesting encounter.
