Bring On The Chelsea

It was a pleasure to sit down and watch Blackburn Rovers’ FA Cup Semi Final opponents decided in the company of Mark Hughes this evening.

OK I didn’t technically sit down and watch the game with Sparky, but he was a studio guest on BBC One’s Match of the Day Live this evening, which was good to see. It was good to see Sparky away from the stress and pressures of the touchline, seeing him nice and relaxed, enjoying the show and having a laugh.

As we all know Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are both much better than what we saw for the vast majority tonight. What we saw in a cat and mouse first half was neither team wanting to lose, before the game opened up somewhat in the second half. However what I saw shows that we have more than a chance in the Semi Final against our now revealed opponent Chelsea.

Obviously I’m not naive enough to base our chances of victory on this game, none of us are but we should have even less reason to now fear Chelsea. Fearing Chelsea will almost certainly see us eliminated in any case.
