Chelsea feel the wrath of the Cigar of God

Diego Maradona's love for cuban cigars was apparently the reason for the disruptive night at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel at 7am on Sunday morning prior to the big clash with title holders Manchester United.

The Sun quoted a fireman at the Radisson Hotel: "It looks as though it was set off by Diego and his entourage smoking cigars on the 14th floor. I saw most of Chelsea outside shivering. It wasn't the best preparation for a vital game."

Although the Greater Manchester Fire Service couldn't confirm in a statement what caused the alarm, a fireman said that Maradona and his associates were responisble.

Hotel manager Steve Miles was quoted as saying: "We followed procedure. It was a genuine alarm."

A tired looking Chelsea were taken to school in their 3-0 loss at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Despite Scholari saying that this put a dent in the Premier League aspirations, I think Chelsea could come good and win the Premier League.
