One England Captain
If you like your football all fancy dan, powder-puff, beautiful and pretty without an end product as Arsenal were yesterday then good luck, be entertained and win nothing - five years without a trophy springs to mind.
Chelsea though, after a 'tough' week admitted by the excellent Didier Drogba, scored twice in the opening twenty-five minutes. The first by Drogba was a close range tap in at the far post and the second a quality piece of counter-attacking saw Didier leave Clichy for dead before blasting home with his left foot high into the net.
Drogba could have had a hat-trick. A brilliant 25 yard free-kick at the Matthew Harding End saw his effort canon off the bar, that left Almunia rooted to the spot.
Drogba's updated tally against Goonerville - 12 appearances, 12 goals.

Petr Cech probably played his best game for months. Two very smart saves from Arshavin and Fabregas and complete control of his area - catching crosses, punching crosses - all giving his back four a renewed confidence.
Ashley Cole proved to be the better signing in the deal that saw Gallas head to North London. I wouldn't sell him for £50m now, £5m at the time Chelsea paid for him is a real bargain, a right old steal.
Even Ballack was all over the park and Mikel brought his African Cup of Nations form home with him.
Captain John Terry PROVED that he has the mental strength and stamina, despite the troubles in his private life. He was absolutely outstanding including flicking a header on for Didier's first goal and playing on with his left thigh heavily bandaged.
Goonerville may have had all of the possession, but possession doesn't win you football matches, its goals that do and that is why Chelsea sit proudly again at the top of the Premiership.
