The hero of the hour - the fantastic Joe Cole who seems to get better with each game. Why this bloke isn't in the England team more often escapes me but today against Liverpool he came on for the injured Drogba and was superb, scoring the winning goal with a deft touch from Lampards cleverly worked free kick. It seems that Sven Fuckwit just doesn't like players with creativity and flair unless they're called Wayne Rooney! Personally I think Joe on the left for England in front of Ashley Cole would be superb, especially as Wayne Bridge is injured. It was important for Chelsea to win today or otherwise the Arse would have opened a 5 point gap and even this early in the season that would be a big ask to make that up, especially in light of how bloody hot the Arse are at the moment. We are merely economical and functional, but we are getting the results and one goal conceded in 8 games with no defeats speaks for itself. At some point though, we are going to thrash someone and then it really starts. On my now defunct Sports and Chelsea related blog I likened this seasons competition between the big 3 of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United as a re-run of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, with Fergie being the Ugly for obvious reasons, Wenger being The Bad (the suave older man) and Jose Mourinho being The Good (the young, cool, steely eyed gunslinger). It'll be interesting to see how close this analogy becomes. Later, Grocerjack
