Gary Neville kept silent for more than a minute after Virgil Van Dijk's extra header won the Liverpool of Jurgen Klopp the Carabao Cup a year ago this Tuesday. And then he reached him, exactly what to say to capture Chelsea's waste in Wembley.
“They have been Klopp's children against the work of blue bottles of one billion pounds,” he said live in Sky Sports.
Neville asked his producer privately if he had been too hard with his mockery, and considered using his podcast the next day to go back. It was too late for that.
For all the poetry of Peter Dury, the spontaneity and the succinct of Neville won the description of the day. It was a murder for Alliteration, a classic of the genre commentator, the newest hashtag for rent, and as Jamie Carragher said: “That line will remain until they win something big.”
Do not know Chelsea too. They have heard everything in the year after the bottle door, without shortage of Schadenfreude aimed at the multimillionaire boys of blue who supposedly cannot buy a victory, much less a trophy under the property of Blueco.
That mockery was never more shameless than when the Sky Comedy Fantasy Football League program announced a sketch called 'Who wants to be a blue multimillionaire bottle job?' The week after its 1-0 defeat against Liverpool.
It has spent exactly one year since Chelsea was labeled as the 'Blue Bottle works of one billion pounds'
The blues were defeated in the semifinal of the Carabao Cup by the Liverpool of Jurgen Klopp last season
The infamous comment, made by expert Gary Neville, continues to chase them this campaign
Neville said what he said on Sunday, and for Wednesday, talent, design, costumes and makeup teams were ready for the filming of his day at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith.
Todd Boehly was the contestant, imitated by Matt Lucas, and Neville was the presenter, played by Elis James. Boehly had already wasted £ 980 million and had to ask the right final question for the confetti to fall when Neville asked: 'There is a 19 -year -old Dutch end that is not so good. How much do you spend on him? Is … '
A: Consider it in a free one. B: loan with option to buy. C: Nothing, you desperately need a striker. OD: £ 135m. Boehly asked the audience. Big mistake. The answer he received from a Heckler was: “Salt from my club, W *****”.
I have been told that Voice belonged to the producer who supports Chelsea to whom he will not be surprised by learning the only time.
Neville intervened: “Remember, you really do not need another end and this is appropriate s ****”. You can see where this is going. Boehly chose D, of course, and it was correct, of course.
Chelsea never recorded a complaint with Sky for his blows because why bother? They were not the only ones who had fun at their expense, far from that. It was a time when Chelsea received more excavations than Blackpool Beach in summer and apparently had so many donkeys.
A year later, the sands of time have not been friendly, since they are still hoping that their courage in supporting a youth approach works.
Chelsea's team has changed from the pain of the Carabao Cup last year. However, the accusations that they are soft remain, and Saturday's trip to Aston Villa only joined the narrative of 'bottling people' when a 1-0 advantage became a loss of 2-1. The atmosphere in Stamford Bridge will risk turning toxic if they do not defeat Southampton on Tuesday night.

Despite a positive start of the season, Enzo Maresca is under pressure in the middle of a large running streak
Chelsea let an advantage of a goal to lose 2-1 in Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday
The way to stop being the butt of the jokes is to show that you are no longer a dignified blow, and Chelsea is still working to laugh. They believe they can have it, starting ending among the first four and winning the conference league of this season.
These objectives are realistic, although Enzo Maresca is under pressure to demonstrate their training credentials after arriving from Leicester in the summer. The 45 -year -old has won only two of the seven inverse games of Chelsea played in the league this season, which led some to wonder if opposition coaches are better to adapt their tactics than him. His pair of reverse victories arrived in Wolves and West Ham, two clubs that changed their managers in the intermediate time.
Maresca has spent this season trying to create a 'firm but fair' culture in Cobham. An example cited for Mail Sport was what happened before its first league meeting with Villa at home in December.
Noni Madueke was not acting as he should in training, so Maresca told him privately and then the world, while dropping the bank. The decision was justified when Chelsea won 3-0.
Madueke was injured by the 2-1 defeat on Saturday in Villa Park, and there is a certain disappointment that Tyrique George, the end of the 19-year-old academy, did not receive minutes.
He joined the argument that Maresca is not the most proactive with his substitutions, his only unied exchange in the 76th minute when he replaced Christopher Nkunku with Jadon Sancho.
George is expected to appear against Southampton on Tuesday night, at least, after being promoted from the academy to the first Christmas team with Josh Acheampong.
Maresca marked his movements by pronouncing a speech to the team that will be watching to see who does not let George and Acheampong take this opportunity.
Cole Palmer's body language has become increasingly negative in the midst of the disappointing career
There is a certain disappointment that Tyrique George, 19, did not receive minutes against Aston Villa
He ordered: “The convictions that they have to defend that and” defend that “means working in the right way.” He finished his address with: 'Creating the correct culture, it is important. I work and welcome to both of them.
That culture is still cultivating, and is clearly growing by doing, even in Cole Palmer after its increasingly negative body language amid the fall of its season.
Chelsea has a way to go to force Neville to feel the same pain as Alan Hansen, who was never allowed to forget how he said that Manchester United would not win anything with the children in the game of the day in August 1995 after the Defeat by Villa.
Criticism does not go unnoticed inside Chelsea, but unfortunately, it will stay until they shake that label of 'blue bottle works of one billion pounds' once and for all.
