Chelsea are focused on their game against Sunderland today, with the Blues looking to keep up their return to form with a home win.

Imagine having a blog dedicated to your club news yet you take time and effort to write about your opponents and expose yourself at how affected you are by them. Let’s face it, if Arsenal were 3rd in the table or 5th, that comment would have never seen the light of day. So thank you for admitting that you dear us, as you rightfully should.
