If Chelsea win in the FA cup finals (and I am praying it will ) and Premier league, Gus Hiddink will turn Demi-God . Not since Jose Mourinho has Chelsea fought like such a cohesive team. The two terrific back-to-back performances, against Liverpool in the league and against Arsenal in the FA cup semis is already making other teams wary. The Liverpool match will rank maybe as one of the finest high-stakes matches palyed by Chelsea. With the see-saw resulting in a 4-4 draw, it was quite a setback for Liverpool. Arsenal began with a lead and went down 2-1 in match with a record attendance ( over 88000 people ) at the Wembley making it an all blue finals in May.
Drogba is in outstanding form just in time - as the Champions league semi-final with Barcelona , the Barclays premier league match with Arsenal and the final with Everton come up over the next couple of weeks.
This new-found Chelsean ability to resurrect themselves from downunder, to react to the goal scored by winning is stuff of legends. The pressure of the scored goal binds the team into some sort of a vengeful fighting machine, bringing out the best in them, and amid great drama and suspence, they score towards the dying moments of the game, so much so that one now assumes it will happen each time.
This team is not for the faint-hearted !

Another thing that being here you don't essentially follow that closely. Or, can't. Or, it may be just me with my limited TV channels.. I refuse to get more channels than the very basic needed to get news.. More on TV as a medium later. Meanwhile, let the posts flow. It is refreshing to read them. Love.
