Heroes

Stevie texted me asking if I was watching the Football Focus post-mortem of Tuesdays game, but by the time I'd turned the TV on they were looking at the bottom end of the Premiership table - snaps everything back into perspective. So instead of ruminating on missed chances and the goal that might not have been a goal, I was singing along to Bowies Heroes followed by the belting David Guetta remix. Thinking about it now, the BBC cameras were probably down at Stamfoed Bridge too, looking for sound-bites from the gathering faithful. Party-time... no-one can take this achievement away from Chelsea. It's been an enthralling, emphatic and throughly deserved ascendancy, and it leaves us in no fear of our ability to build upon this, a glorious centenary season. Hungry now for more championships (and maybe even a European Cup) in the years to come. Remember the guy in the park at Hunstanton seafront, and his two small sons in their new kits... Like me they won't be worrying about Tuesdays 'failure', they're too busy drinking in the joy, and the relief, bestowed on all Blues fans, by this team, this hybrid Ranieri-Mourinho baby - a world class football team, a team of individual heroes and collectively a fine squad of champions.
