63 h. ago It’s complicated: Awkward marriage of Maresca and Chelsea provides great drama | Barney Ronay

Enzo Maresca loves controlled buildup play from the back. Chelsea fans tend to like forceful, direct football. Conflict of some kind always seemed inevitableThere was a new story this week about a team of a hundred scientists who have spent nine years analysing a single cubic millimetre of mouse brain. The one hundred scientists have finally published their results. And those results are basically: “Whoah, have you seen this stuff?”What they found inside the cubic millimetre of mouse brain was an eternity of wiring, just miles and miles of tiny wire to be untangled, pictured in the accompanying article clumped into a single mass, like a pan of mouse brain vermicelli left overnight in the sink.

6 d. ago Maresca picking a fight with Chelsea fans feels like an act of self

While the manager is just one broken cog in the club’s malfunctioning machine, riling supporters never ends wellEnzo Maresca is naive if he thinks he can win a war of words with the people who pay to watch Chelsea.It is difficult to recall many managers who have come out on top after picking a fight with their own supporters. It is a road that usually leads to disaster, making it hard to understand why Maresca was so eager to veer into dodgy territory by having a pop at the crowd after Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich on Sunday.

2 w. ago Ear and loathing: Ange Postecoglou’s bond with Spurs fans is finally broken | Jacob Steinberg

Tottenham manager chiding his own fans during defeat at Chelsea was an act of self-indulgence that backfiredIn fairness to Ange Postecoglou it will go down as one of the great managerial ear-cuppings. It was bitter, it was undignified and, rather than an act of defiance, it is probably going to be remembered as the moment of high farce that finally broke Postecoglou’s relationship with Tottenham’s fans.Here was a man on the edge, the list of grievances piling high, the emotion impossible to contain as he watched his side somehow cancel out Chelsea’s 1-0 lead at Stamford Bridge. Postecoglou had heard the chants of “You don’t know what you’re doing” from the travelling supporters when he brought Pape Sarr on for Lucas Bergvall in the 64th minute. Now came vindication. On 66 minutes: a first shot on target. This was progress.

Ange Postecoglou, the remorselessly under-fire Tottenham manager, had been barracked by his own club’s supporters when he replaced Lucas Bergvall with Pape Sarr in the 64th minute.Bergvall had enjoyed a few bright moments. “You don’t know what you’re doing,” the travelling hordes informed Postecoglou. And so just imagine how the fiercely proud Australian must have felt shortly afterwards when Sarr won the ball off Moisés Caicedo and unloaded a low shot that the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, inexplicably allowed to beat him.
