Me to Gav and Grant two days ago: "Chelsea are always touted as Championship material, just cos the media love them. They've never done anything to prove it, they're just a top 6 club."

Evil John Gregory, yesterday: "Chelsea are false pretenders with inflated opinions of themselves. It comes from the chairman...who expects them to win the Premiership."

Me on this BBS yesterday: "With Cordone playing deep or wide, Shearer spent too much time on his own, which natch meant the muscling back-to-goal stuff...(that)can only work if the likes of Cordone and Dyer make runs for the lay-offs, and that didn't happen enough last night - they weren't close enough often enough!

YBR, the papers, today: "Cordone has got to learn to play with him because Alan wins such a lot of balls and flicks them to the left and right. Cordone is a bit slow getting on to those. Cordone's got to realise Alan will win a lot of balls that maybe he doesn't think he'll win, get on his bike and play nearer to him."
