News Flash- The Ref is color blind (at least to all colors not blue!)

Let's face it Ref, you are irrational when it comes to all things Chelsea (and to refs, but that's another story which has already been written...). Anyone who is paying attention will tell you that The Special One is sleepwalking through this year. Yes I know that they still could win everything, but that is just what happens when you don't have a discriminating bone in your body and use your stolen Russian oligarch money to go out and buy every player on the planet for undgodly sums of money. The choices he has made this year have been dumb-founding (or just plain dumb). Playing 4 central midfielders together has been a disaster and he insists on doing it- I know Cole's injury has been tough and Robben is a flake, but the congestion is obvious (as is the fact that Ballack is rubbish) to anyone who can stay awake through one of their snoozefest games. I gather they turned it on during the second half of the FA Cup against Spurs (does anyone know why they are on PPV??? I know they pull in dough, but the ratings bump for FSC seems like it would make up for that), but he never has them attack full out. His idea of a perfect game is to win 1-0 with a garbage goal in the 81st minute- that may have been the only way for Porto to win in Europe, but the sheer talent advantage he has with Chelsea should carry with it an obligation to let his players play the entertaining football they are individually capable of playing.

Regular readers of this blog (all four of us) know that I also despise Arsene Wenger and his pretty boys at Arsenal. You have to give him credit, however grudgingly, for bringing in great young talent and playing attractive football (he is the anti-Jose: all show and no care for wins). He is still a horse's ass.

(No need for either of you to bash Sir Alex in a reply post. Has anyone looked at his nose lately? He needs to cut down on the wine- he could take Rudolph's place next Christmas.)
