Is there no end to the sheer gracelessness of Chelsea Football Club?
Before the start of Saturday`s FA Cup tie against Macclesfield Town, the Stamford Bridge announcer insulted the 6,000 visiting fans by comparing their number to the Cheshire club`s average weekly gate (2,500) and then rushed through the names of the Macclesfield players before making a fuss of appending the respective international qualifications to the name of each home player. How truly pathetic.
Two hours later Jose Mourinho compounded the insult - his ignorance almost certainly unintentional - by referring to "the great work they [Macclesfield] are doing in the Conference". Whatever trophies Chelsea may win during the Abramovich era, they will never be a really big club until they learn how to behave with dignity.
Shevchenko`s misery plumbed new depths against Macclesfield on Saturday, with the £30million superstar branded a dive cheat and `past it` by Silkmen skipper and centre-half David Morley, who took over in goal and easily prevented Shevchenko`s best efforts to score past him.
