Chelsea and ManU have had issues with lesser clubs this season and including Chelsea's draw of
West Ham we also have to include their recent draw to Birmingham. Manchester United has had their
own issues (like losing 3-0 to Fulham) but this brings up the great paradox in pro sports: Why do
good teams have a hard time with bad teams?
We all love a good victim, arguably even more than we love our heroes. In the Premier League,
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva, more commonly known as "that useless bag of Brazilian shite", has
become the bete noire du jour. "And he doesn't even look bloody Brazilian!"
It's true that Lucas doesn't look like the British idea of a Brazilian footballer: we prefer our
South Americans to be tanned, elegant and outrageously, ostentatiously gifted.
