A Bad Week in Manchester (Finally!!!!!!!!!)

We all knew it was going to happen. It had to. No one since Arsenal's 2003-04 "Invincibles" have gone undefeated for a season. And on Monday, on a wintery night at Stamford Bridge, Super Frank Lampard ended Man City's hopes for duplicating that undefeated season.

Early on in the match, in the 2nd minute to be precise, Mario Balotelli, (Why Always Me?), scored again, which was the result of some of the worst defense Chelsea have played yet. Kun Aguero contributed on the assist. Man City came out of the gate storming past a sluggish Chelsea. Then, in the 15th minute, David Silva was brought down in the box, and Man City called for a penalty. It was not given. The City Slickers, being the pouters they are, lost focus, and allowed Raul Meireles to equalise just before half. It was set up by wonderful build up play by Daniel Sturridge, who has turned out to be quite the find for Chelsea. The biggest turning point in the game was to come later though, when Gael Clichy picked up two yellow's in the span of 11 minutes. His sending off just totally shifted the game to Chelsea's advantage. This was followed by 15 minutes worth of weak chances for Chelsea, untill, in the 82nd minute, a Daniel Sturridge shot was clearly hand-balled by Johan Lescott, and Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot. Super Frank wasn't going to miss this time, and Chelsea got three points.

Super Frank for Da Win!

For most of the game, Chelsea had the advantage. For most of the second half, they were up a man. This game showed the Chelsea of old, and also how inexperienced Manchester City are.
