What a shame the Rooney saga didn’t go on longer

A good performance in Moscow was followed by a “workmanlike” show against Wolves — that just about sums up the Chelsea football of the past week.

The only other noteworthy thing associated with either game, other than the Zhirkov stunner at the Luzhniki, was the abuse for Stephen Hunt, which was unabated. Last time we played against him I sharpened my poison pen and poured forth my bile so I shan’t do it again. But we won’t forget Stephen.

The only story in town this week was Wayne Rooney — it was so entertaining and I just wish it had gone on for longer as the various characters lining up to make fools of themselves was seemingly unending.
