Not fair as Special One left hanging on the telephone

AWFUL isn’t it — waiting for the phone to ring. Bet José has stayed home since last Saturday expecting that call from Keith Hackett apologising for the decision that denied us a goal and a win.

If that call doesn’t come soon, José should scream and scream until he’s sick — and JT should bleat endlessly to the media — who will of course be running a campaign to decapitate the referee/linesman. Then there should be a week’s worth of radio shows with presenters on soapboxes whipping up a frenzy of moral indignation at the unfairness of it all.

Or perhaps we’ll conduct ourselves with a bit more dignity than a certain other club — after all, these things happen. I can deal with disallowed goals — Saturday’s wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last — but the more sinister fall-out of the Anfield hysteria (for that’s what it was, courtesy of Messrs Gray, Benitez and assorted Reds) is that it now open season for unpunished fouls on Chelsea players.
