Three wins since October and only two in league have led to some negative feedback from those around the Bridge, but whereas before such sentiments were previously being flush out on the internet or thrown around on podcasts, now they manifest in black paint and ruined sheets. Thus the signage outside Stamford Bridge:
How Bad Is It Getting Outside Stamford Bridge? Witness The Graveyard Of Sacrificed Linen
The emotion that goes into destroying some of your better linens usually doesn't leave room for exceptions, but you would think some players deserve caveats. Frank Lampard - how do you muster much antipathy toward him? John Terry's been playing hard. Petr Cech's been great. Smaller font and more words would have led to more balance.
But for that many asterisks, you'd need a bigger sheet, and these types of displays are never about fairness. They're about impact, and given we're not used to seeing such signs of discontent around the Bridge, the point's come through loud and clear. Some Chelsea fans would rather sleep shivering, curled-up in a ball than let their discontent simmer further.
