When the KGB come knocking...

Phone set to vibrate?

With the news awash with dark rumours of KGB misbehaviour could there be a more appropriate time to face Abramovich's band of mercenaries? Have they got any of that radioactive stuff spare knocking about that they can pipe into the Chelsea boardoom/dressingroom? Apparently it's so material so toxic that they can't even do an autopsy for fear it will be fatal for the doctors. Fittingly the last thing i read about that was so ferociously toxic people were warned to stay well away was Ashley 'They are taking the piss Jonathon' Cole's self-serving whine of an autobiography.

Tomorrow will be Ashley's first visit to Old Trafford since he was freed from the yoke of slavery and the indignity of having to ply his trade for the insulting sum of £55K per week. Perhaps as part of their pre-match build up Sky will show a compilation of his finest moments set to the sound of Rufus Wainwright's 'Vibrate'. Or maybe not. If they did it's a safe bet that his first visit to OT, the infamous, Dwight Yorke inspired 6-1 mauling would not feature. Cole was substituted at half-time that day and i like to picture him in the dressing room,a quivering shell of a man. Let's hope for similar tomorrow.

In a game that has room for such outstanding examples of vile unpleasantness as Craig Bellamy and Joey Barton amongst others, it's actually quite an achievement to be the absolute vilest. Cole is the embodiment of all the ugly greed and twisted narcissism that pollutes the game, and his arrival at Chelsea was absolutely fitting. Not that i fool myself into thinking that United players are models of altruism and humility, especially not when we count the self-styled 'Most talked about footballer of his generation' among the personnel, but the sight of Cole mouthing off at refs for some perceived injustice is enough to induce boiling rage and almost makes me hate him more than i hate Kenyon and Mourinho combined. Some feat.

Kenyon has this week aired the opinion that Chelsea will be bigger than United by 2014. This, of course, is palpable bollocks. Chelsea will always exist in our slipstream, no matter how many trophies they shop, whine and dive themselves to. Whatever the outcome tomorrow, that will remain a fact.
