I could certainly understand why Chelsea fans love Drogba... the man gets results for his team. However, I hope Chelsea fans understand why opposition and even neutral fans detest this man. Perhaps 'detest' is too strong a word but many like myself would rather not see cheating, cynical football rewarded.
Arsenal playing all over Chelsea for the first half... Drogba get tapped on his heel about 25 yrds out takes a step and decides on second thought to slump... literally SLUMP to the ground. Phil Dowd like a c**t rewards the dive... and to compound matters give Fabregas a yellow for having the gall to suggest that Drogba dive... which he clearly did. Next thing yuh know Drogba take the free kick and Alex score off a header.
----------------------------------
As I type... completely against the run of play Anelka with a beautiful strike to put Chelsea up 2-0 in the 39'. No chance for Fabianski... ball swerved at the last minute to his left and into the back of the net.
Hard luck for Arsenal... they playing beautiful football and deserve a better result, but at some point you have to take your chances... and put them away on top of that.
