The Run of Play is a blog about
the wonder and terror of soccer.
We left the window open during a match in October 2007 and a strange wind blew into the room.
Now we walk the forgotten byways of football with a lonely tread, searching for the beautiful, the bewildering, the haunting, and the absurd.
Note: The Game changed the headline of their post and thoroughly rewrote it at some point after I linked to it. So this doesn’t really make sense any more. The post was originally called “Are Chelsea out of the Premier League Title Race?” and devoted to provoking debate on that question. Now, they’ve changed it to “Is Luiz Felipe Scolari Chelsea’s Biggest Problem?” and made it much more vague. The weird thing is that multiple commenters had already started discussing the original question. I guess somebody got embarrassed.
