Man of the Match - Andrij

Finally a stellar performance from Shevchenko in the match against Aston Villa made the crowds look up to him. Sheva scored two goals and set up one in the 4-4 thriller at the Bridge.
A few snippets from the BBC live-text commentary during the match should sum it up.

1427: GOAL Chelsea 3-2 Aston Villa
A real striker's finish from, of all people, Alex, who collects a pass from the brilliant Andriy Shevchenko and takes the ball past a last-ditch challenge before drilling it home from 16 yards.

1410: GOAL Chelsea 2-2 Aston Villa
The superb Andriy Shevchenko equalises for Chelsea with an unstoppable strike from just over 20 yards. His ability has never been in doubt. What a finish.

His performance on the pitch - which was probably his best in a Chelsea shirt so far- spoke for itself and his class was quite unmatched on the field.
Way to Go Sheva!

Merry Christmas!

Ahh ....tis the season to be jolly...Christmas is in the air and it gives you a nice feeling deep down to see the happy faces and the holly around. I thought I would probably have to spend this Christmas alone but my family drove down and so we had a nice warm family Christmas yet again!

Now that it's over, am back at my desk hammering the keys - though still in the holiday spirit!
Happy Holidays!
