TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Blues bottlers have already thrown in towel

I was tempted to pull out last week’s piece and resubmit it, given the fact that we saw the same defensive errors, the same blunt strike force, the same lack of movement, the same lacklustre performance.

I’m even bored of writing about it.

You could reasonably argue that perhaps the players, just like the fans, want rid of this season and are simply going through the motions, with a view to a fresh start in August. But these players are paid obscene amounts of money to give their all whatever the circumstances. They cannot decide to chuck the towel in at this stage: they owe the club, they owe the fans.
