At the old cricket club, around the back of Turf Moor, a young lad who can't have been over the age of eight had his family in stitches. A Chelsea supporter, he sang about winning the Premier League.
The kid wore a smirk when he reached the point of the song that asks whether the audience is going to believe that particular confidence. A bit of a showman and genuinely impressive that he has already mastered irony.
He knows Mauricio Pochettino has quite a bit to do if that is ever going to become reality, the last week representing a start of building something in a season that again feels transitional.
