However, despite the fact that Chlesea was hosting Wigan, the soon-to-be champions started in a really disappointing manner. The first goal was clearly offside but I guess Martin Atkinson didn't wan't Blues fans throwing coins at him so he shockingly allowed it. Then Wigan threatened but Hugo Rodegella and Charles N'Zogbia appeared to think you scored by hitting the ball at least ten meters wide. It was a cynical display of dreadfulness from the Wigan front-line and they were made to pay. Immediately after the N'Zogbia miss, Salomon Kalou had a dazzling run down the middle and played a brilliant through-ball to Lamps. Gary Caldwell then decided he was going to switch professions and he really did his Rugby job quite nicely. However, the groundscrew at the Bridge forgot to make the pitch rugby-ready and Caldwell was promptly sent-off. Lampard converted and then Chelsea became Barcelona-esc as Kalou and Ashley Cole found there way on the score-sheet and Anelka found his brace. Drogba also promptly hit a treble in a mere 17 minutes to complete Chelsea's 8.
On some other BPL notes, United crushed Stoke as Rooney limped off injured, causing a doubt for England. Another 4-0 match was at the Emirates as Fulham fielded 8-reserves, Shwartz, Pantsil, and Dempsey prior to their Europa League final on Wednesday. Spurs were brilliant in the first half at Turf Moor and then Redknapp decided to start resting players for the Champions League 3 months in advance. Spurs lost 4-2. Villa and City also dropped meaningless points as 2nd-string sides were facing each other all over England.
It was a boring last day, but the title-contenders did manage to score 12.
With the Europa League final coming up on Wednesday, what are your thoughts, can Roy Hodgson and his troops cause Europe's biggest shock since Porto '04 or will Forlan and Aguero be too much?
