Bye Bye Arsenal. Don't Cry Arsenal. Boo Hoo Arsenal. Ha Ha Arsenal.
Chelsea entertain Wigan Athletic on Monday night at Stamford Bridge - a win is imperative - if we are to sustain our own challenge in now what is a TWO horse race then on Thursday we travel to Goodison Park and we simply have to get SIX points.
I don't think I could stand Man Utd coming to Stamford Bridge in two weeks time and claim their second successive title.
Avram Grant this afternoon roared, "We are in good shape at the right time, after so many games in the last two or three months, 80% were good quality with good wins, so we are in good shape now. But there is always another game where you need to prove yourself."
He continued, "We are in the best situation since I came here, and even if we weren't, we always believed we could do something in the league. Even with five or four teams ahead of us, we believed we could fo something in the league, especially now."
"We are unbeaten in the league since December, and are the Premier League's form team, with 19 points taken from the last 21 available to us."
On tomorrow's game Grant said, "It is not easy to play against Wigan in my opinion. They are a good team and difficult to beat, when they lose they are losing 1-0 or 2-1, so I expect a very difficult game here."
Expect Carlo to miss the rest of the season and Petr is back in training and is getting better after his horrific injury last weekend.
I have no problem with Hilario being in goal. Hilario is a legend and he won't let us down.
Steve Bruce, Wigan's manager said, "If we win at Stamford Bridge then I am sure Fergie will have a little drink. Mind you, I'd hope to get more than one bottle sent from Old Trafford myself if we beat Chelsea. They haven't lost at home for four years, so I'd expect to get a case of the good stuff if we get a result down there."
"Its a long time since I've had any influence on a title race and to be honest I haven't even been thinking of this one because I've been concentrating on the other end of the table."
"We play both play Chelsea and United in our last five games and we still need points ourselves to make sure that we're safe."
"Our home form has been good and if we can take that to Stamford Bridge on Monday night and they have an off-day then we could give them a hell of a game. We need a result as much as they do."
"People have been giving us pats on the back all week, so I've had to bring the players down a peg or two so they know we are not yet safe."
