The class of the English Premier League,the Chelsea Blues, won the English Football Cup today with a 2-1 victory over Everton. The FA Cup victory was a great consolation to a tremendous team who hit hard times earlier in the year. The FA Cup victory for Chelsea demonstrated the character of the Chelsea football club, after a mid-season change in managers. Guus Hiddink had been managing the Russian National Team and came as temporary manager for Chelsea. Under Hiddink's leadership, Chelsea made a tremendous comeback, finishing a close third in the English Premier League and losing in a controversial semi-final in the European Cup playoffs. Even in the FA Cup championship, Chelsea came behind from an early Everton goal to win, led by Didier Drogba, Chelsea's fiery star. Fans have called for Hiddink to stay at Chelsea, but this man of character had made a commitment to return to Russia and fulfill a commitment. However, Chelsea fans long for a coach in the mold of the Dutch coach Hiddink.
Musings from Maytown believes that Chelsea can win the Premier League Championship next year and advance to the finals of the European Champions League. With talent and with the right manager, Chelsea can reclaim glory over Manchester United, this year's league champions. For those non-British readers of Musings from Maytown, Chelsea represents the strongest in British patriotism. A typical Chelsea fan is a Conservative partisan and maintains loyalty to the Crown. The strongest base of support for Chelsea, located in the Western section of London, are the pensioners, veterans from the British military.
So, let's celebrate this blue day as Chelsea takes home the FA Cup.
