Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
86-8 = 78 points>
Which would provide a top four finish – but not guarantee the top three finish required for automatic UCL qualification.
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 6.5>
The needle was bouncing around a bit until Drogba’s goal. It settled back during the second half.
“Chelsea is back on track”….
..For third or fourth….
Beggars can’t be choosers (well they can, but nobody listens) a couple of weeks ago it was Europa League or bust (or perhaps more accurately: Europa League and/or bust).
Let us not get too carried away though. The football was still pretty ropey at times and we were lucky that we were playing Bolton rather than a side with strikers able to take advantage of the opportunities our continued Kamikaze Keystone Kops defending presented.
Allegedly Abramovic is ready to stump up the cash to buy a couple of quality players.
It would be interesting to know if Ancelotti is aware of the targets’ identities.
