It was a good weekend for Chelsea Football Club. On Saturday afternoon, their men’s team were comprehensively outplayed by John McGinn. Their new midfield enforcer displayed all the poise and grace of Lennie from Of Mice and Men as essayed by Bernard Bresslaw on rollerskates, and was hooked at half-time. They could easily have shipped three or six goals. Yet they’re not champions of Europe for nothing, and their newly found defensive resilience – more down to the highly skilled arms of octo-keeper Édouard Mendy, than any significant tweak made by tactical genius Not Frank Lampard – allowed Romelu Lukaku the opportunity to snaffle a couple up the other end and seal a 3-0 win the Blues kind of really didn’t deserve. But hey, a win’s a win’s a win, ain’t that the truth?
