Chelsea in Crisis? Oh, don't be daft.

At the end of last week 2-0 loss to bogey team Aston Villa, Chelsea owner Roman Abrmovich rose from his chair, took a moment to shake hands with another VIP, walked up a short flight of stairs and out of public view.

Cue the media mayhem! Roman Rift with Jose! Jose to be sacked! Crisis at Chelsea! Fat Frank denies being overweight!

Is this the end for us?

Perhaps the English media need to be introduced to the meaning of the word 'ridiculous'...

Definitions of ridiculous on the Web:

absurd: incongruous;inviting ridicule; "the absurd excuse that the dog ate his homework"; "that's a cockeyed idea"; "ask a nonsensical question and get a nonsensical answer"; "a contribution so small as to be laughable"; "it is ludicrous to call a cottage a mansion"; "a preposterous attempt to turn back the pages of history"; "her conceited assumption of universal interest in her rather dull children was ridiculous"

farcical: broadly or extravagantly humorous; resembling farce; "the wild farcical exuberance of a clown"; "ludicrous green hair"

Now we hear that poor ol injured Ballack has been dropped from the Chelsea Euro squad. He deffinately wont take any part in the group stages, but should he recover in time, he could take part in the knock -out phases and beyond.

Cue media mayhem! Jose rift with Ballack! Ballack to be sold! Abramovich likes eat his booger!

Could these be the last we will see of the 'puckered' one?

Oh for the love of flying wet chapati's, have these sports journalists really nothing else to write about? Every little event seems to get picked up, turned inside out upside down, chewed up and spit out to reveal something entirely alien from the original event.

Ah, the EPL, tis why we luv thee.
