Chelsea's players are in "open mutiny" with manager Andre Villas-Boas, according to Monday's papers.
The Sun reports that the club's highly-paid stars, "believe the Blues boss is tactically inept and cannot handle Premier League players," the paper reports.
Apparently the final straw came when the outgoing Nicolas Anelka was banned from the club's Christmas party, a decision branded "petty and spiteful" according to the paper's source, who added that the players threw a separate farewell bash for the Shanghai-bound Frenchman at a top Chinese restaurant in London .
"AVB has lost the dressing room and it's become so bad several players want to get away now," the source added.
Needless to say, there's a fair chance that The Sun's "source" is a hack who has overindulged in Christmas spirits, but we had to chuckle at the paper's description of Anelka's send-off: "As the club's players whined and dined, they ordered the chop suey for AVB. It's all gone from sweet to sour."
