Blackburn Aftermath

I hope Jose was exaggerating the extent of Robben's injury, what with a crucial string of matches coming up.

He was apparently annoyed enough by Blackburn's tactics to neglect to shake hands with Mark Hughes after the match, instead joining the players on the pitch and making them throw their shirts to the away fans.

Scuffles on Chelsea Chat as the Hughes lovers refuse to accept any criticism of his tactics, claiming that players like Dickov and Savage were naturally dirty without having to be asked to play dirty, while a significant number have pigeonholed him with the "traitor" Poyet. Conspiracy theories abound of Fergie telling Hughes to kick Chelsea to bits.
