It was pretty much impossible to miss the Chelski game, or its outcome. I like di Matteo, and I hope Abramovich doesn’t let his place-men fanny around too long before giving him the job. If he’s not going to get it, they should tell him now, for he would definitely be ‘in the mix’ for other jobs in England and in Italy. As for Torres, who seems to have a petted lip just now, if he isn’t good enough to displace a 34-year old as top striker, he’d be best advised to acknowledge that, and work harder, rather than sending ‘rescue me’ messages to La Liga via Sr. Balague.
