Your Shout - Love letters to Dickie
Published: 11 February, 2011
Richard Osley’s open letter to Chelsea fans in last week’s Crow really ruffled some feathers . . .
Dear Mr Osley
Here is an open letter for you.
Please do try not to spend so much time worrying about us Chelsea supporters. We are fine. Worry more about your team. Let’s face it, there’s a lot to worry about.
1. Are you not a little fed up with trying to pretend you’re all happy to have not won a thing for nearly six years?
2. Are you not a little fed up with hearing that “the kids” were not quite ready this season, or the one before, or the one before that?
3. Are you not a little fed up of having to pretend that getting to the Carling Cup final is a big deal, when if Chelsea or Spurs were in it you would be calling it a sad, minor, cup?
4. Are you not a little fed up with a manager who refuses to spend a penny and would not recognise a decent goalkeeper if he fell over one?
5. Are you not a little fed up that the silver polisher at the Emirates has been redundant for the last six years?
Right, I am done now... I am a bit fed up talking about Arsenal!
Up the Blues!

Dear Dick Osley,
Was there a problem with the colour of the paper during printing? Only, I expected you to appear green… with envy. See you May when, as you know, the Mighty Blue Army collect the silverware! Keep believing in the Wenger spin. It was only £71,250,000.00 so Roman still has plenty of ammo for the 2011-12 season… you may need to see a shrink!
