old drogs, new tricks

Sept. 27 Sofia Levski 1 Chelsea 3 (DD 3)

How many times have we secretly wished that if only we had the electric Eto'o instead of that donkey Drogba. Oh, just how many zillion times did we pray that Drogs would find his true calling in body-building and spare us those perennial gut-wrenching moments when he used to kick the ball at anything and everything but the goal.

And every screw-up was followed by that awful jaw-clenching grimace. Drogs surely must have sawed off half his teeth by now, i bet.

However, mr muscles has been slowly but surely making amends and this could well be season in which he finally eclipses Eto'o.

As the gaffer said the other day, visitng an East European team who's playing its first Champions League match at home can be quite tricky. But after 10 minutes of the game, the Blues were more concerned about the wet and utterly slippery pitch than the opposition.

The defenders and midfielders were looking like drunks and only the naivety of the hosts made sure that our slips never turned into mishaps.

Sheva only had a bloody face to show for all his efforts and Drogs gleefully continued to prosper at the former's expense. This two-man hitman strategy is working like a charm and at this rate, nobody's gonna care if Sheva finds the net or not.

Nine games, seven goals and a maiden Blue hat-trick to boot. We have all seen the power, commitment and hard work dished out by this African. Finally, Drogs is applying the much-needed finishing touch to his deadly repertoire.

Drogs dear, maybe you can make thy living in football after all.

What happened to DD.
He looked so clumsy and now he is so hungry.
I like the look of him.
Scheva does not adapt well, but I am sure once he scores he won't stop
