Game
It’s not the losing
that hurts; it is the manner
in which it is lost.

AFC 2 – MCFC 1
We score, the crowd roars;
behind, ‘potty-mouth’ curses
for the entire game.

Boring, Boring Chelsea
Chelsea strut their stuff
‘we deserve respect’ they bleat
no! You earn respect
by Scooj
I was prompted to write this following the Arsenal v Chelsea match last Sunday. It was a nil nil draw, which saw Chelsea play a negative defensive game. At the end of the match, the Arsenal fans sang ‘Boring boring Chelsea’, which was an ironic self-reference to the days when Arsenal were boring and used to grind out results without flair or class. That team were labelled ‘Boring Boring Arsenal’
Chelsea are a bit precious, and have been complaining to the media that they should be respected. So, despite leading the Premier League by a country mile, they have not endeared themselves with the British public, and this side unfortunately, are unlikely to remembered as anything other than efficient. They need to earn respect not expect it.
