THINK OF THE CHILDREN
To read or listen to some of the reports from Wembley yesterday, one could be forgiven for thinking the gnarled and streetwise, serial-winning veterans of Chelsea had just lost a Fizzy Cup final by a cricket score to Liverpool’s Under-14s. As is often the case, some mid-match musings of a Sky Sports pundit were used as a stick with which to beat the losing manager after the game and a visibly distraught Mauricio Pochettino was forced to defend his vanquished team against Gary Neville’s slightly melodramatic suggestion that the Blues were overpriced donkeys for losing a final to children by a solitary goal, scored in the knockings of extra time.
