Premier League Match of the Season so Far...

The Come Back Kids...and Grandpa Giggs

Chelsea 3-3 Manchester United. Perhaps the Londoners will not feel the same way as us United fans, or the neutrals, but seeing a team come back from 3-0 down is always a thrilling one. And as Rooney rightly pointed out after the match, it is indeed a point that could end up winning United the League in the long run. It is games like this which helps prove that the Premier League is THE best in Europe...dare I say the world?

Although two of Chelsea's goals were soft, an awkward own goal bouncing in off Evans after striking De Gea's knee following Daniel Sturridge's cross, and a re-directed header from David Luiz taking another deflection off Ferninand (Juan Mata's goal was pure class), it takes nothing away from the way in which United fought back. They never looked like losing, even from the first minute. They looked the most dangerous of the teams on the attack, with the in-form Antonio Valencia dancing through the Chelsea defence at break-neck speed on one flank and Ashley Young (presumably with a new leg) zig-zagging in and out on the other and with Giggs and Rooney orchestrating play in the middle. However fortunate they may have been, by the 50th minute Chelsea had taken what looked to be an unassailable lead. Many teams would have crumbled, admitting defeat, but not United. Still they plugged away, winning two penalties, Welbeck's admittedly slightly dubious (but it makes up for the Cahill foul on Welbeck that was missed in the first half at 0-0), with Rooney despatching both with aplomb and a classic Chicharito, right-place-at-the-right-time, header to level in the 84th minute. Ferguson wanted another penalty late on but it would have been a harsh decision on Torres (for handball) as it struck him from point-blank range. Not forgetting a special mention for David De Gea who pulled off one of the saves of the season against a late Juan Mata free kick, at full stretch tipping the ball away as it careered towards the top left corner of the net. Magnificent reflexes and agility from the under-fire keeper.

'That' inspired save from the Spanish keeper

 Perhaps two points dropped in a way, but considering the deficit to have to come back from, I think it's safe to say a point is definitely not to be scoffed at. More of the same next week please Premier League.

Drogba seeks more dollar

Quelle surprise anyone? Not really. We should feel sorry for the Ivorian, after all he is only on a reported wage of £120,000 a week...yet, "Once you are well into your thirties you have to go to a club where you can be certain you'll be able to pay your bills" says the 34 year olds agent Thierno Seydi. Yeah, like he's living on the breadline. It seems to be the trend at the moment for footballers, not even attempting to hide their real ambition when forcing through a move to another club. "At Didier's age, he has nothing left to prove as a player. He will go where he is offered the most money."

Well at least their honest, I guess? I'm sure he will be given a new nickname (akin to Cashley Cole) Didier Dollarba, Dollarbill, something along those lines, but probably better, and he won't give two s**** about it. Why would he when he could potentially make a similar wage to the likes of Samuel Eto'o, around the £350,000 a week mark at Uber rich Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.

Turning down a loan move to AC Milan (they just LOVE old players) pretty much confirmed his disinterest at playing at the highest level anymore. With the lure of Russia, Qatar or perhaps the United States proving too much to resist, we should say farewell (and good riddance?) to one of Chelsea's biggest Prima Donnas of recent years.
