Earlier in September when Ferguson was asked how Chelsea would manage without The Special One he said that they would still have the same players. In other words, Drogba and Lampard wouldn’t stop scoring goals; Carvalho, Terry and Cech wouldn’t stop saving them.
They more than proved him right as they demolished Manchester City by six goals to nothing yesterday.Even Shevchenko [ who came on as a late substitute] scored .As the players trooped off at the end, each shook the hand of Grant. . As Shevchenko came past, he stopped and hugged him. It was an interesting end to an interesting and entertaining game.Life goes on and it looks like The Special One is gradually being replaced by The Unlikely One.An Avram Grant quote for the Chelsea fans afterwards “It is not easy to sing my name. Try it, it’s Israeli.”
