Di Santo takes swipe at Rovers

Chelsea striker Franco Di Santo has taken a parting shot at Blackburn Rovers after he spent a season on loan here at Ewood Park.

Di Santo was a hit at first in East Lancashire, but after a poor run of not scoring was left floundering on the bench/in the reserves.

At first, Di Santo was full of praise for Rovers – even at one time suggesting he would like them to beat Chelsea.

But after his spell of being out of the first team, he has reversed like a Ford Focus and complained about Rovers being a mid-table club and about being a lone striker.

Franco, speaking to an Argentine press conference said – “People at Chelsea were angered by the fact that I wasn`t playing regularly.”

“When you do not have a chance to score when playing at the front of a one-man attack, and you fight and fight, it is difficult for any striker.”

“We can not compare Blackburn, which is just a mid-table club, to a Chelsea side that has the best players in the world.”

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think this is just sour grapes from Di Santo.

We cannot compare Chelsea to ourselves favourably in terms of league position but we can compare them as follows –

* Blackburn knock Chelsea out of League Cup on penalties after 3-3 draw.

* Blackburn draw 1-1 with Chelsea in the league at Ewood Park after a teenage rookie marks Drogba out of the game.

Goodbye Franco, please remember to have a little dignity.
