  • No whitewash, no blue rinse

    No whitewash, no blue rinse0

    With everyone confidently predicting a one-sided whitewash – or possibly a blue rinse – from Manchester City against the Chelsea team they had thrashed 6-0 just a fortnight ago, this Carabao Cup Final was a surprise.

    Blues have a flare for it0

    Chelsea were glad to see the back of Malmo. It’s a cultural thing; their culture is to light alarming flares, filling the stadium with smoke.

    A Cherry bad performance0

    The arrival of loan striker (and, seemingly, lone striker) Gonzalo Higuain, and the departure of Alvaro Morata, should fill Chelsea fans with hope. The 31-year-old Argentine started encouragingly enough in the FA Cup… but beating one Wednesday was followed by miserable defeat on another Wednesday as the Blues caved in at Bournemouth.
