He’s been trying to get at Abramovich ever since he left the club, and I think it would be quite delicious if the FA brought the hammer down on him for racial abuse.

Calling the owners a “bunch of shysters from Siberia” does fall into the racial-religious abuse category, sadly for old Chris Cringle.

He’s been bleating on about this tapping up crap for ages, and since nothing has been done, it’s clear that he has no evidence. If he’d just kept his mouth shut for those last few minutes in the press conference, this would have all blown over and people probably would have assumed the new tapping up allegations had some substance. He would have acheived his goal of undermining Chelsea with lots of lovely lies.

Unlucky old dude.
