It's great to have our football back again and normally I'd be crowing to have our start against the gooners !But seeing Petr in the other goal doesn't seem right to me! I know for all the great service he's given us, indeed became a Chelsea legend, he couldn't be denied what he wanted, but it won't stop me from feeling bad seeing him on the other side! Does anyone else feel strange about this?
As a Chelsea LEGEND, he most certainly wont be booed by any True Blue! Its just sad that he had no choice but to leave and Chelsea would not stand in his way as far as choice of clubs was concerned! The same happened with Lamps!
Even I find it weird seeing him in an Arsenal shirt He's a top class professional and comes across as a down to earth guy so I'm sure, irrespective of the outcome on Sunday, there will be no love lost between him and Chelsea and the fans. Obviously I'd like us to win and end this ridiculous streak we have against Mourinho. The law of averages suggests that he has to lose at some point!
Could be worse. You could have had to see United goalkeeping "legend" Peter Schmeichel turn out for City when he had his pick of clubs. He played for Sporting and Villa after he left United so it wasn't like he wanted to keep his family settled. I cringe when I hear him refer to United as "we" or "us". The same goes for Andy Cole. Not Denis Law though as he played for City before United and Docherty pushed him out the door on a free (and no his goal didn't relegate United, that's an embellished version of how United were relegated that season!). Cech is still one of the best around so he had to move to a CL club and if his young family are settled in London then Arsenal was the only option. It could bite Mourinho on the arse though.
