In the Arsenal section, banners were held up bearing the number 7,148, which is the number of people that watched a Division Two League game at Stamford Bridge as recently as February 1992. Given that there were over 40,000 people there today, that fact underlines quite how johnny-come-lately many of their fans now are. Some of them even sang "Champions", which is really the ultimate arrogant no-no because they haven't won it yet.
Arsenal wanted to prove a point tonight, to beat Chelsea and prove that they may be Champions elect, but that we can still get the better of them. We couldn't quite do it, but came quite close. I can't help feeling that we missed a chance to give their bubble a significant dent, and also missed the chance to prove to ourselves that we are a match for this Chelsea side.
Anyway, no use crying over spilt milk. Chelsea will soon go on to seal their second title, only 11 more and they'll have won as many as us!!
