Might be up to Liverpool to give this rancid lot a guard of honour.![]()
Whisper it softly but he's not top level. Everyone knows it.
Nevertheless, he's an incredible trier and has improved season after season. He's easily as good as Costa and the latter is bigged up as the next Dixie Dean FFS! We have a Costa, not a Henry. Can we make that work? Only if we have decent players around him - which we do - and a decent manager picking the team and the tactics - oops.

The media is largely biased towards Liverpool and Manchester United it has for years been a North Western Cabal
I don't think Chelsea are as adored in the media as their Manager is, you compare the 2005 Champions League victory for Liverpool with the 2012 Champions League for Chelsea (both equally nauseating for me) but the reaction in the print media especially in 2005 was comparable to England winning the world cup, it was the same in 1999 when Man United beat Bayern Munich (wasn't repeated so much in 2008 as they had beaten Chelsea and the media couldn't be seen to be playing favourites quite so abundantly). But in 2012, it was much more muted but i cannot believe for a second it would have been so had that diminutive portugese sociopath had been in charge.
