Thats Why We're Champions!! Sheff Utd 0-2 Chelsea


What have Barcelona, Portsmouth, Blackburn Rovers and Sheff Utd in common with each other?

They failed to SEVERELY test Chelsea's third choice goalkeeper Henrique Hilario.

Imagine you are the manager of any of the above clubs surely you tell your players 'get in and get yourself amongst him.'

But no-one has and Hilario has played four games, won all four and conceded one goal and EVEN saved a penalty, a poorly taken penalty at that but a penalty save nonetheless.

This lunchtime at Bramall Lane Chelsea strolled to an easy 2-0 win over new-boys Sheffield United.

The goals came in a six minute period either side of half-time through from a 35 yard free-kick from Frank Lampard and the second from a Michael Ballack header from a super Frank cross down Chelsea's left.

Sheffied Utd's Danny Webber missed a penalty in the 17th minute when his poor effort was easily saved by Hilario as Hilario dived to his left.

I do miss travelling to away games. I would have loved to have gone to this game simply because I have been to Sheffield many times on business and it is such an easy place to get to and the scenery along the M1 through Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and even the South Yorkshire countryside before Sheffield is a joy to behold.

If you are a fan of Robin Hood and Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen - you will know what I mean!!
