Time to rip it up and start again, Chelsea

What the Christ! Last night the world was treated to probably the worst fairytale of all time, akin to Cinderella meeting Prince Charming, only to find that beneath the sparkling veneer he’s actually really anal and a bit clinically depressed. It was all there for the Chelsea team and Abramovich - the big final, in Russia, the captain (Mister Chelsea, apparently) seconds away from making dreams come true. Then they blew it.

After years of hurling money around willy-nilly desperately striving to create something wonderful, has the Chelsea team finally imploded under the weight of expectation? The summer will surely see the likes of Drogba, Carvalho (absolutely awful last night) Malouda (shocking) Anelka (non-plussed) and even Lampard head off in search of a less hated team.
