Half time at the Death Star and Wigan have been better than the goons. At 1-1 all they have to do is keep playing the same way to avoid defeat and give themselves a chance on sunday while putting our fate back into our hands. Then their 'keeper decides to defend a cross like a sunday league centre-back instead of smothering it. 2-1 to the enemy, Wigan throw in the towel and we're a point behind with one game left.
Wednesday
Benfica murder Chelski in the first half in Amsterdam and the russian's mob are lucky to still be in the game at half time. Early in the second half a perfectly good Cardozo goal is disallowed for offside. Then one centre-back allows Torres to turn him in a way that would embarrass a schoolboy and the other one allows him to run past him.
Heading for extra time and Benfica's so-called defence not only allows Ivanovic to head a high, looping cross unchallenged, but also fails to put anybody on either post. Thereby allowing those bastards to go ahead of us in the number of european trophies won and - worse - become the first english club to win all three european trophies.
Could it get worse? Probably....
Sunday
We go a goal behind to Sunderland at the Lane, spend the rest of the game in their box and equalise with about ten minutes left. We get the winner at the death and the place goes nuts.
Meanwhile at St. James Park the goons are 2-0 down at half time. The kick-off was delayed, meaning that the game will finish five minutes later than hours. They get one back early in the second half and then lay seige to the Newcastle goal but don't create any clear-cut chances. Time is almost up when some comedy defending hands them an equaliser. We're still in fourth until the fifth minute of the three minutes injury time when an offside Theo Walcott runs through and scores. The goal stands. They finish fourth. We're fucked.
Sometimes I fucking hate football.
*Disclaimer: I've thought all season that we would finish third. I got that wrong so I'm hopefully wrong about this too. I just wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
