Mon 09 Sep 2007Undertaker Grant will be last man to let Abramovich down  TV View:John Hillstrand has, apparently, a Harley Davidson motorbikey type machine that is rigged with something called a nitrous boost so that he goes from nought to 120mph at the touch of a button. He's a man in a hurry, is John.We thought about his machine on Wednesday night and reckoned that if Roman Abramovich heard about it he'd probably make it manager of Chelsea. They do, after all, say the Russian is a man of little patience, so a nitrous boost to the team's fortunes is what he'll be demanding from the Special One's successor.
