Finally the international break is over. We can thankfully look forward to the weekends. Of course when I say we, I mean Chelsea fans. Here’s why:

1) Jose Mourinho – Here’s a man who drives opposition managers and rival fans crazy especially our London neighbours. Just recently manager felt the only way to beat Mourinho was to commit murder. Genius moves I must say, I mean how you beat someone you haven’t bested in 12 attempts. Hmmm

2) Diegoal Coaster – Yes the name’s fitting cos he scores goals and he’s as strong as a bus. Ask Mauricio the Sporting Lisbon defender who decided to stand in his path. The term “he got hit by a bus” appropriately describes the situation Costa left him (battered and bloodied). Hey Toyota here’s a no brainer for bus commercials. Last season we had hit and miss strikers, which prompted Mourinho to say “by summer you’ll know why I didn’t buy a striker”. Nobody seems to be asking why anymore, because we all know why.

Fabregas – nicknamed Fabrepass by the Chelsea faithful. Two assists standout this season. The one against Burnley that carved the defence open like a hot knife would through butter and I’ll urge u to take a wild guess at which the 2nd was! Your guess is as good as mine, it was the 50yard pass to Costa. It was beautiful, sublime and breath taking. How do you hit a pass the perfect? And to think it was this same player Barca said was in decline and Arsene Wenger passed over cos he had “other attacking options”. Nice. Like the French say

“À chaque fou plaît sa marotte.

English equivalentː Every fool is pleased with his own folly.”

Cech out Courtois- it’s not everyday a team gets to say we own two world class goalkeepers. Despite early murmuring we can’t fault the decision to field Courtois. Now the defence has plugged its leak it’s obvious all goals conceded so far have not been his fault. We all dread losing Cech but we’re prepared for the eventuality.

Welcome back. Ze EPL is here!!!
