From Colin Shanner :
Please spare us the raving about the greatness of Costa’s goal my friend.
Also about the greatness of Mkhitaryan’s.
Ozil’s and Walcott’s were just as good, if not better.
Costa’s was all about the stupidity of the defender. He simply should’ve just booted the ball into row Zed. Period.
If you must rave, kindly rave equally.Thanks.
Love and best wishes, as always.
From Philip Brune : Chelsea
hi Myles,
Gave the Chavs a watch this AM @ the gym.
West Brom gave ’em a good puzzle, and Chelsea looked flat. Weren’t even creating half chances, to say nothing of good ones.
But Costa, my word.
He’s got the will of a grafter, the power of a bruiser, and the technique to make them both matter. He’s got 3 ways to beat a defender, greatly increases the odds.
Fabregas knows this, smart one that he is, and constantly feeds Costa, if even if it’s a lazy afterthought of a pass like the one he (Costa) transformed into the one nil.
IF he stays fit – no UCL will sure help – Chelsea win the title.
Love Conte’s celebrations because he seems like a good guy.
From Mark : your comments Re: Ozil
Dear Myles,
Years ago you told us all that Robin Van Persie was overrated and not a goal scorer, that was just before he got going for the Arsenal.
You were absolutely slaughtered for you comments by faithful readers like myself, you admitted as much in further posts.
You have done it again, Ozil would not get a game at MUFC, CFC OR LFC!.
In recent years have you ever seen the German national team start a fixture that mattered without him? You must also consider that Germany is a proper team and they are always there or there abouts, unlike England who continually flatter to deceive with over-rated and over-hyped players.
Lastly, how many individuals in the teams you mentioned would of played for Real Madrid at the time Ozil and Mourinho were there, eclipsing Barcelona in the title race, the best club side I had ever seen at that time?
“There is no copy of Ozil!, not even a bad one!”
Think that is what Mourinho said, he was Chelsea manager by then.
Myles says:
I’ve become stale and realised it.
Uefa’s bloated Euro 2016 took too much out of me.
And now Infantino, the hairless buffoon, proposes a 48-nation World Cup,
Reckon the old blogger needs some time off to recharge his batteries.
