McCarra, In Form

Cisse_v_gallas_1In-form football writer, Kevin McCarra (The Guardian UK), shines in his piece on Chelsea v Liverpool in the Champions League. (The good version, "Chelsea Turn the Tides of Red Pressure," is in the print edition which has been badly truncated on the Web.)

Is it the cat & mouse football of the early Group Phase of the Champions League that brings out inspired coverage -- despite a soporific score, Chelsea nil, Liverpool nil?

McCarra discusses the incorrect notion of "Boring, Boring Chelsea" which is being sung lately at all grounds -- and soon even at Stamford Bridge.
