Chelsea's "epic" win

Today is an absolutely beautiful day to be a Chelsea fan. The otherwise gray sky outside my window has turned blue in my mind. The final result from Stamford Bridge has yielded a wondrous scoreline: Chelsea 2, Blackburn Rovers 0. This was not an epic win in the traditional sense, nor was it an epic game. However, in it I saw classic Chelsea and also a typical match from a club fighting for a title.

Chelsea came into the day out of a title race. However, with some help from Spurs in tomorrow's fight against Manchester United, they will leave the weekend right back in the quest for glory. I truly believe if Chelsea continue to play games the way they did today, albeit with just a bit more pizazz, consistent wins will come against teams in spots 9-20 in the Premier League table. The Blues may still drop countless points against top eight clubs. However, I know for a fact that Arsenal, Man City, and Spurs will drop points against top clubs and lowly clubs combined. The way to move ahead of these guys will be to avoid such results. If Chelsea can do so, a shot at the monster that is Manchester United is extremely possible. Neither game has been played between the two this season, and if Chelsea can win both or at least get 4 out of 6 points, along with the aforementioned consistency against the rest of the league, they can get themselves back in business. Those two games, though, will only truly matter if Stamford Bridge continues to play "Blue is the color" for the rest of the season. In order for that to happen, we need to see more wins, lots more to get serious about some silverware.
