I went to Stamford Bridge yesterday fully expecting Chelsea to hammer Town five or six nil. We are constantly being told that even the Chelsea second XI are world class and I think we have all bought into that hype.

I came away from Stamford Bridge with a mix of emotions elation at Gary Taylor-Flectcher’s goal, and disappointment as I honestly believe Town could have beaten the League Champion and certainly deserved a draw. Many people will argue that Chelsea fielded a weaken team, which is true, but don’t think for a moment that Town Fielded their first eleven either, Taylor-Flectcher only started because Booth was injured and Chelsea would never have got that first goal past Town’s number one Keeper Paul Rachuka, the list goes on.

Jose Mouriho had said before the match that if the players that played on Saturday needed to take the game seriously as if they couldn’t easily dispose of Town they were “at the club for nothing”. I would guess that after yesterdays performance Mouriho needed to get back in the transfer market, not one Chelsea player stood out. Duff who had scared the life out of me when he had been brought on as a sub during a Huddersfield verses Blackburn game seven years ago was a shadow of hi former self. Arien Rodden could get passed Danny Schofield who lets be honest isn’t the best man marker in the Town midfield. The worst player of the day was £21 Million pound Striker Shaun Wright-Philips who was absolutely hopeless. This guy cost more than it would cost to buy the controlling interest in many Premiership clubs (£6 Million more than Portsmouth when for just last week) and he was made to look useless against a League one side, I think Wright=Philips should be off to another club as soon as they can find anyone daft enough to sign him.

Which Chelsea PR genius thought that it would be a good idea to parade Ken Monkou at half time. The only thing that the Dutch defender has contributed to the world of football is the “Ken Monkou Program of Fun” (see a post coming soon!). Chelsea fans may appreciate lazy, greedy, talent less players Town fans do not!
