As Chelsea continues to struggle, fan frustrations are beginning to boil over like tempers at a Man City training session. Some supporters choose to vent their fury by shouting at the heavens late at night (if my neighbors are reading this, no, it's not a part of a satanic ritual) while others leave smeared banners outside the club's training ground.
Two angry banners, which appear to have been made by one pair of angry hands, were put up across the street from Chelsea's Cobham training ground. Carlo Ancelotti, however, is quite confident that he can take this lone protester.
The manager and his squad arrived at training to be greeted by two banners which read: "Ancelotti + Abramovich out!" and "None of you are fit to wear the shirt".
The protest was an apparent response to the club's shocking form, culminating in a defeat at Wolves in midweek, that has seen them suffer their worst run of results in the Premier League in almost 15 years. [...]
"There was only one?" Ancelotti joked. "If it's only one, there's no problem! Here, you saw outside just one person who is not happy. In Italy, it's different. You can find outside the training ground 1,000 people not happy. It's difficult to fight with 1,000. With one, you can manage.
"For a manager, it is important at this moment to have the support of the club, of the players, and obviously of the fans -- minus one. It is the right way to move on quickly."
So despite Chelsea's struggles, Ancelotti remains casually certain that he can beat the crud out of the one unhappy person leaving banners at the training ground. Consider this your warning.
