Dear Cory Byrne, I would like to apologise for putting in such an inferior display during the 7-2 defeat to the mighty Blues. Having chosen the exciting Tottenham, I felt relatively confident taking on your Chelsea side – how wrong I turned out to be. It started badly when just 6 minutes in, Lloris was inexplicably sent off leaving me with no choice but to replace Lloris with my next best option, Harry Kane. Eden Hazard confidently converted the resulting penalty, and thus began an exciting, yet for me woeful, match. However, I believed my fortunes had changed when Terry was sent off soon after, giving me an enticing free kick just outside the box. Audaciously, Lamela took the FK, which hit the wall and nearly led to a breakaway. The brave Spuds held on until a calamitous lapse of concentration saw Costa score two just before half time. My misery was compounded when the great Diego Costa soon after completed an excellent hat trick shortly after the interval. However, hope came in the form of another dubious refereeing decision – Willian sent off for a minor offence, left you with 9 men ( myself being on 10). I capitalised on this, scoring two goals in quick succession, with Lennon and Rose providing a glimpse of hope and chances of an apology pretty slim. Or so I thought. With the game in the balance, and a comeback on the cards, Chelsea responded with a strike from Hazard and then a superb solo effort by Cesc ‘Nearly as good as Cory’ Fabregas. At 6-2, the atmosphere was tense, resulting in my spurting rage and abuse at both my team (notably Kane) and the referee, who by all accounts had a bad game. I thought I had survived my fate when in the last minute Eden Hazard narrowly missed a well timed volley inside the box. However, with the last play of the game, a cross came in from which Cahill parried into the path of Diego Costa, who capped off a MOTM performance by heading the ball in and sealing my fate. I would once again like to apologise for my pitiful performance, but would like to take the time to quickly acknowledge your unrivalled excellence and dominance on FIFA. Yours sincerely, Bohdan ‘the toey’ Tavener
