S8M17: There's something about Lucas

There have been a few clubs in recent years where you can say the fans have had value for money. That's not the same a an enjoyable ride, but certainly in the footballing soap opera, certain clubs are anchor characters, whilst others have cameo roles, or follow only an extended story arc. I think I've pushed that metaphor far enough...

One such club is the nouveau-riche bunch on Fulham Road. That's Chelsea in case you 1) don't know West London and/or 2) were trying to work out whether al-Fayed or Shahid Khan pre-dated Abramovich. They've been a roller-coaster club year on year, but seem to be going week to week at the moment. Defeating Man City was not on the cards in anything other than the most-optimistic Chelsea fan's mind - especially after a dismantling from Spurs and a defeat to Wolves. But win they did....

No such qualms were had over Liverpool and Arsenal winning nor Man Utd or other soap-opera side, West Ham (!). Most also had Spurs to win too. Burnley overcame recent poor form to beat Brighton at home, as did Cardiff, although frankly Southampton really need their new manager, Ralph Longsurname to hit the ground running. Wolves got a good win at Newcastle who've seemingly ended their run of good form, whilst a manic 5 minutes saw Watford heading for all 3 points against Everton who managed to equalise with the last kick of the game from a luverly freek kick from Lucas Digne.
