There can only be one winner of the inaugural This Is Anfield Wanker of the Week award - can’t there?
Of course, there were other possibilites such as the Stamford Bridge groundsman who took a leaf out of the Fratton Park handbook on ‘How not to prepare a pitch for European Champions’. Or maybe a certain Mr Alan Wiley who missed numerous off the ball incidents, but you get used to that sorta thing, don’t you.
There was, naturally following any defeat, the usual muppets whose knees jerked into action and made their fingers type inane nonsense on various message boards and forums across the world wide Red web. Six weeks ago we had the best defence in the history of the club - nowadays we have a team who can’t defend set pieces to save their lives and a manager who implements some crazy, foreign marking system, apparently anyway.
Then there’s the little shit of a mascot who Punk’d Stevie G in the tunnel at the Bridge, but fair play to the little man, it made me laugh.
But the winner comes predictably from the fracas in the 81st minute which had me reminicsing of a scene in Dream Team (British football ’soap’ shown on Sky One) where a hitman was ordered to shoot one of the players - but missed and shot the chairman’s own captain instead.
I can only guess that was the case and the intended recipient was Stevie G - whom Abromovich is still pissed at the summer’s non-arrival to the capital. But the bullet seemingly strook Robben and made him collapse to the floor clutching his neck like a man on his death bed.
Either that or he was auditioning for a role as the fairy in Chelsea’s pantomime next Christmas.
Congratulations Mr Robben, your award’s in the post.
