Raining on the FA Cup parade
A brief statement posted on the Chelsea website at 10.29pm on Saturday night said all you need to know about the club’s “delight” at winning the FA Cup.
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm that there will be no parading of the FA Cup tomorrow.”
The verdict of the board immediately after their FA Cup triumph is that the season, despite Saturday’s triumphant climax at Wembley, was a disappointment.
The FA and Carling Cups represent two trophies out of a possible four – and the two least important trophies at that ... at every other club in the world the season Chelsea have had would be a cause for celebration.
