Abramovich watches the training again

As Britney Spears used to sing... "Oops, I did it again". Abramovich surprised the players (and Villas-Boas too, I guess) again with his appearence during the training.

If previously I was posting "I'm still your man", today is Are you sure?'s turn.

Abramovich - who is reported to have lavished £1billion of his own fortune since he purchased the club in 2003  - first spent 30 minutes watching Villas-Boas put his players through their paces in the build-up to their clash with United on Saturday. He then chatted to the Portuguese for a further 20 minutes.

Chelsea have insisted their was nothing sinister in the timing of the trip just days after the disappointing stalemate. Despite Abramovich's cut-throat reputation for sacking managers - five have been dispensed with during his reign - Villas-Boas insisted the pair also discussed plans for next season. "We touched a little bit, of course, on next year's project, but mainly on that [United] game. Roman is a very educated person to the cause of Chelsea football club and his aura is always present."

Ok, let's pretend we believe you, Andre... But you've better watch your back from now on.
