At least we have Spurs to supply us with laughs
Especially when we’ve grown accustomed in recent times to gorging ourselves at football’s top table, as opposed to finding ourselves with our faces pressed up against the restaurant window, with our tongues positively hanging out at the thought of what might have been, with a Champions League trophy that seems to be there for the taking this season.
It must also be strange for Man Utd fans, to find themselves the beneficiar-ies of the prevailing “Anyone but Chelsea” mood. Yet no matter how much I might despise everything that Abramovich’s toy stands for and despite Utd’s remarkable display against Roma, it’s impossible to ignore the Blues boundless resilience. With their last minute winner in the Mestalla, Chelsea yet again demonstrated an irrepressible desire and spirit that seems to fly in the face of the mercenary nature of the modern game.
