False Dawn?


Money might not be able to buy you love but it can buy you a football team.

Add the additional magic ingredient in the form of the right manager and you get - Chel$ea.

Or so it would seem if you believe the various commentators over the weekend.

Yes they did play very well together. Yes it is probably the best football we have seen from them, certainly since I have been following our beloved game.

But for goodness sake - it's just one game. Let's see whether they can deliver that sort of quality consistently week in week out.

Not that I am not impressed mind you. If they do manage to replicate that sort of play on a regular basis I might start to feel warmer towards them. And I do feel somewhat disappointed with the Arse's performance on their first Premiership display of the season. OK they won but by all accounts it wasn't that convincing.

And Special K certainly gave Sir Alex a little shake in his tree yesterday. Maybe this will be Newcastle's year.

As for the Foxes, we are now in third place in League 1. Which means if you believe the predictions made about some of these other teams based on just one game, we are dead certs for promotion.

Let's hope it's not simply a false dawn.

One game foxy lady, one game. At the end of the day football is a results business. A win is a win no matter how its achieved.

Arsenal threatened to score a hat-ful on Saturday after their early goal, but they struggled trying to play 'beautiful' football. Perhaps Whinger is past his sell-by date!!

And the Ure of Man Utd struggled without Cliff Richard's love-child.

1st round to Chelsea on ALL counts.
