Hats off to the hundred plus goal club

Going into the home match versus Wigan, Chelsea were making the right noises about treating their opponents with respect and were bigging up the challenge that Wigan would pose. In the end, it didn’t quite work that way but you won’t see or hear any Chelsea fans complaining. The London club demolished their opponents to clinch the title and ruin any hope of Manchester United taking the title for the fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Ever since the home defeat to Manchester City, Chelsea have developed a steely edge with respect to taking the Premier League title and after hitting seven at home to Stoke, they went goal crazy against Wigan on the final day.

There were tantrums from Didier Drogba in the first half when regular penalty taker Frank Lampard took the spot kick to give the Champions elect a two goal lead. This penalty award also saw Gary ‘Heid’ Caldwell dismissed, and Caldwell took any hope of Manchester United winning the title. It is the Scottish players fourth red card of the season, and was his second for Wigan Athletic. Caldwell had earlier been red carded for Scotland against Norway and for former club Celtic against Hearts.

All praise must go to Carlo Ancelotti for winning the league in his first season in English football and of course, they haven’t finished yet. Chelsea won’t want to celebrate too hard because they have the FA Cup final against Portmsouth to come on the 15th of May. A victory at Wembley will seal the double for the Blues and no doubt please Roman Abramovich very much.

Congratulations to Chelsea, English Premier League champions for 2009/10.
