Cardiff could go down and keep Neil Warnock as manager; Chelsea could finish third in the league, win the Europa League, and bin Maurizio Sarri as manager. Admittedly one of these things is more likely than the other, but the essential element remains: it’s an hilarious, venerable pastime.
Expectations are relative, of course, but that tells us more than this. It reminds us that, though we’re regularly informed that it’s a “results business”, the reality is that it’s a “hope business”. Whatever happens from here, Cardiff have gone through the season on a buzz and fighting to stay up, while Chelsea have spent it on a zzzz and fighting to stay awake; therein lies the difference.
