5/31/2023 0 Comments Everyday Genius by Gary Alan FineThey did that at least but for long periods, Chelsea still looked a bunch of scared strangers. ‘We are staying up!’ was the delighted response from the Chelsea fans, ironically delivered but factually true: they are now pretty much safe from relegation, a huge goal difference swing aside, so that’s one milestone that Boehly can tick off in this mother of all meltdown seasons. That said, it’s amazing what a couple of goals and your first win since March 11th can do. As such, the darkening ambiance among the travelling support fitted the occasion. There was nervousness on the ball, they were disorganised when repelling counter attacks and there was little to suggest a run of six successive defeats was coming to an end. Safe to say, all was not well for Chelsea here until the 82nd minute. And when Raheem Sterling and Hakim Ziyech came on they were roundly booed from the Chelsea end. There was support proffered for Roman Abramovich, an oligarch sanctioned for enabling Vladimir Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine. Todd Boehly’s name was invoked from the Chelsea end with a choice Chaucerian insult added.
