TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - We can forgive players this campaign if they beat Tottenham

Leaving the ground on Saturday, I could almost pretend these last nine months hadn’t happened.

A resounding win, being part of another really good away day following, and the prospect of an evening celebrating the win in the seaside town helped us all to forget what an unmitigated disaster this season had been.

The players should count themselves very lucky really that Chelsea fans may not like what’s gone on, but have stuck with them — we have sold out every game both home and away and continue to play our part, no matter what has been served up.
