When you can't be the master of your own destiny

This is what has been this season with Chelsea. In the last two it was us all the way, winning the league was in our own hands but not this time. It is sickening to pray everyweek for ManU to lose points against teams like Spurs, Liverpool our perennial rivals. But thats how life is - you pay for your mistakes. Over that Christmas period had John Terry not been injured no way we could have drawn those three games against Fulham, Reading and Villa and lost six points which we should have taken with ease.

Our destiny in the league is no longer in our own hands. All we can do is jut go on and keep winning every match and hope that somewhere along the way in the next nine matches ManU would slip up more than once. But I take heart in the fact that inspite of the numerous injury problems we have faced this season we are still in with a say in all the three competitions, the Carling Cup already resting in the Chelsea trophy cabinet. It take some character and strength to get this far. And for the very fact I am proud of the team I support - Chelsea F.C.
