Chelsea to lose title at Arsenal A.K.A. Poetic Justice.

In times such as these when there is a dominant power you will find many different unlikely alliances. This is the nature of things.

Next Saturday an alliance of sorts will be formed. The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has already stated his vote for manager of the year will go to the Manchester United manager. On Saturday we will see Arsenal play for themselves firstly and then see where that helps Manchester United. It is no secret that Arsenal and Wenger have a few scores to settle with Chelsea. Only a matter of weeks ago Arsenal lost a cup final whilst playing arguably an understrength team in controversial circumstances and with an unsavoury melee at the end of the game due to Chelsea's sly time wasting and shirt pulling tactics. Add into the mix that Arsenal has struggled to beat Chelsea in recent years and almost did beat them in the reverse fixture and the whole Colegate saga and a final minute transfer of Gallas and Cole last summer, and you can see that Arsenal will be motivated beyond belief to bring the Abramovich era to a slight slow down. Mourinho has made much of the fact that he has never lost a league title in four seasons. Saturday will give Wenger the opportunity to drive the final nail into the "champions" quest to retain the title they have won for the last two seasons.

It is with great satisfaction that Arsenal fans will see Chelsea's reign as champions come to a close on saturday-if results transpire as they should. Manchester United whilst engaging in a full blooded derby with neighbours Manchester City should really get the three points they will need. When Sunday comes around Chelsea will need to get a win to counter and take the league to another weekend. Last summer Mourinho finally got one over on Wenger in his show of strength in finally getting Ashley Cole, however Wenger did get a measure of revenge in engineering the swap of William Gallas for Cole. As events have shown Chelsea have needed a William Gallas more than they have needed an Ashley Cole and over the christmas period Cole conceeded an own goal...a result that ultimately may condemn Chelsea in the long term to second place.
Saturday will bring an accomplished Arsenal team without star strikers Henry and Van Persie but nevertheless a team that has lost only once at the Emirates Stadium. Ateam that has played its best against the bigger teams. A team that is not at its strongest but a very strong team capable of taking points away from Chelsea which will make Manchester United champions on Sunday afternoon. Chelsea have made some major mistakes over the course of the season. Showing their bravado in desperately getting Cole whilst allowing Gallas to go and priceless cover in the defense lost. Not buying a defender in the transfer window in January and trying to rush John Terry back from injury.
Chelsea will lose the title at Arsenal and it will only be their own fault through bad management and an egotistical atitude towards their rivals.
