Let's give Jose the Blues

So today's the big game; our chance to destroy Chelsea's title hopes and depose them as champions whilst also 'welcoming' our favourite old boy back to his alma mater. . .
It does seem to have been a season of frustration and misery for us gooners but perhaps today a victory will sweeten the bitterness with a little joy.
Naturally, I'd rather we were in the position in which we were playing in title-decisive matches at this stage of the season with ourselves as possible champions elect but today there is no time to dwell on that.
We have played well against Chelsea this season. We went to the bridge with a depleted squad and showed great spirit and if it wasn't for Essien's fluke we would have won it courtesy of Monsieur Flamini's strike. Next we played them in that game at Cardiff and for large portions of the game (especially the first half) we gave the russian millionaires a real footballing lesson. On that day, Drogba was the difference, we squandered umpteen dozen chances whilst he took his when they arrived. We will need to get tight on him today (I assume Wenger won't give us a heartattack by playing Senderos against him).
As for dear old Ashley . . . well we had inflatable mobiles phones and banknotes earlier in the season and there are mutterings that today fruit and veg may be on the menu BUT, I think the best thing we could do is completely ignore him. I am sure that our indifference to his existence would probably hurt him more than anything else.
The online gooner has suggested that chelsea are greeted by a rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' just to rub salt in the wounds.
I hope Diaby plays in the middle to give us some much needed muscle against Essien and that Kolo and Gallas will do a job on Drogba. I also very much hope Rosicky is fit enough to play as I feel he really does give us that little extra something.
Anyway, here we go. . . COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!
