UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
I knew this would happen.....jesus, some people around here have short memories!
So what, we beat Chelsea away. We hadn't won there in 12 or 13 seasons, and the run was bound to end sometime. Chelsea are going through a bad patch and it was a very good time to play them. Even then we were slightly fortunate in that Mutu hit the bar and Hyppia was lucky to get away with climbing all over the Romanian at the end.
BUT, all credit to Gerard Houllier. He picked the right side, and some of the underfire players: Heskey, Cheyrou and Traore, rose to the challange.
However, does 1 good win make up for losing 4 times at home in the league this year as well as two terrible defeats on our travels?
People forget that last year we beat Man UTD in the League Cup final last year and every one got carried away and said we had turned the corner. Look at what happened then. Why should now be any different.
I have no personal vendetta against Houllier, and I really really hope that I am wrong, but we're going no where and Newcastle will pip us for 4th place.
