And Sunderland mathematically safe on Murphy's brilliant 92nd minute goal (and a little help from our Scouser friends)!!

I can think of the perfect way to top off this very encouraging season. See you in two weeks, Hirshey.

Despite my hatred for both Chelsea and Man U, I'd rather see Chelsea win the title than see Sir Alex be vindicated for producing one of the dirtiest sides in footballing history. From Ronaldo to Ferdinand to Rooney to Giggs, they're a bunch of cheaters who have no clue how to tackle according to the rules.

Also, a good 6-2 drumming of Derby today. Adebayor's second hat trick against the Rams this season made me quite happy. I just pray Van Persie will be alright.

Still, fuck Chelsea and Man U.

Any word on van Persie's latest career-ending injury?

@anonymouseducator: I think he's an English fullback who played for Man U in the early-to-mid-90s.

@hockalees: Eh... As bad as it has been, they outplayed Man U, and if they had gotten the result they'd be a point behind Chelsea on 80. Yeah, yeah. If if if...

I'm already over it and getting pumped for the Euro this summer.

@preciousroy:
The way the season is sputtering to an end, it is REALLY frustrating that they couldn't do this at least once or twice over the last few months.

Wow, Arsenal actually responded themselves. Derby drew to 2-3, then the Gunners net two in four minutes.

Head. About. Explode.

"considering how they've responded to the sphincter-tightening pressure of the stretch run"

If ManU feels bad about that, they can always consider Arsenal.

Holy shit...Derby is level with Arsenal, 1-1, at the 32' mark. If Derby pulls out a draw or, gasp, a victory, I would pay $50 to see the look on Hirshey's face at the final whistle.

And Arsenal give up the equalizer within 5 minutes of taking the lead. Even against fucking Derby they can't help themselves.

@preciousroy:
The fact that Liverpool played Arsenal three times in a week and no meteor hit either stadium is proof to me that there is no God.

@Von Hayes: I was fully hoping for the meteor but inexplicably found myself pulling for Chelsea, so I either despise Man U more or I just want the last couple of games to matter.

Could be both.

There are only 4 teams in the EPL, right? When I turn on my TV and see names like "Newcastle", "Sunderland", "Tottenham", "Manchester City"...are those real teams?

Over the past 10 years, Chelsea have morphed into Arsenal and vice versa. For a long-time supporter of the Blues, it's unsettling, to say the least...

Absurd Hero — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:22:17 EDT

Go on Chels!!!

"generously ruled to have hit Carrick's arm"??? That was a clear handball. Clear penalty.

However, regardless of the penalty, Chelsea deserved the points. ManU were very poor, and didn't earn the points.

Drogba's childish display may have just booked his flight to Italy. Great player, but his time at Chelsea is winding down.
