Chelsea bamboozle Barca

Chelsea had 10 lions in Barcelona last night as they somehow produced a miraculous, astonishing rearguard action to reach the Champions League final; 10 super-heroes and one stupid boy.

John Terry’s astonishingly idiotic red card, which came after chelsea had already lost Gary Cahill through injury, should have been the moment when they folded, and bade goodbye to the Champions League knowing that their senior players are never likely to lift the trophy they have coveted above all others.

But this team had not read the script.
