Last night, sat in the pub with a few Chelsea supporting mates, I was anxious to say the least.
Our plight, as I penned yesterday – luton-town-the-great-relegation-debate-continues-to-enthrall-all – had me hoping that Chelsea could provide Luton Town with an enormous assist by beating another relegation candidate, Everton.
However, my aforementioned Chelsea supporting mates had warned me, ahead of kick-off, that they’re never quite sure what Chelsea to expect, the side that delivers against the top teams or the side that has a habit of losing to those lurking in the lower reaches of the Premier League table.
With my eyes glued to the screen, despite Everton making a bright start, Chelsea brushed aside Sean Dyche’s team running out 6-0 winners.
The result leaves Everton still 2 points ahead of the Hatters with a game in hand, but they still have to come to Kenilworth Road, on Friday 3rd May, a game we just have to win.
The 6-0 thrashing also put a serious dent in their goal difference and must have seriously dented their confidence as they face some stiff games in their final five fixtures. Most notabley games against Liverpool (h) and Arsenal (a).
However, their fate could hinge on that second points deduction recently handed out that the club confirmed they are going to appeal against, with that appeal set to be held before the last round of fixtures of the 2023/2024 season.
And my final action off the night was to buy my Chelsea supporting mates a round, it was the least I could do after that result.

Chelsea are under investigation by the PL for a number of potentially iffy accounting practices: they might yet end up with point deductions next season.
That apart, their success in recent years was funded by war criminal (and very close pal of Putin) Abramovich using funds pilfered from the Russian economy/people.
Rotten club with rotten fans.
Look, we all know as LTFC fans that come the end of season fiasco with the FA, Prem or EFL that a positive decision will be made in favour of Everton and/or Notts Forest to ensure that LTFC are relegated, you can almost hear the official excuses being drawn up to justify a decision that deals us the bum deal irrespective of the points we earn between now and ooooooh, after the actual season has ended.
