ANY PORT IN A STORM

When you’re struggling with form, confidence and the loss of a popular manager, a trip to a club ‘oop north’ to face a team filled with journeymen, ex top level players and an outhouse called Windass (although we were spared he and Barmby) - in midweek and still without a major part of the spine […]

GRANT LOOKS TO EXTEND SPECIAL RECORD thumbnail

So we win a game 4-0 after a turbulent few weeks and all our troubles just drift away. Oh hang on, no they don’t. We have a manager with no badges and no support and a sum total of zero goals in our last three league games.
Two out of three of those problems can, however, […]

Chelsea notched their first win under new manager Avram Grant, defeating Hull City 4-0 at the KC Stadium, to advance to the next round of the Carling Cup. It was a convincing and dominant win for the Blues, with a number of fringe players looking to force their way into the new coach’s plans.

ONE WEEK ON… thumbnail

One week ago the news arrived to my phone from a friend of mine saying succinctly, “José has gone, it’s official”. After finding out he hadn’t been drinking copiously and was in fact telling the unbelievable truth, I stayed up watching Sky Sports News until I could almost recite parrot-fashion the various statements and features […]

Chelsea’s defence of the Carling Cup kicks off this evening with a trip up to Hull for Avram’s first game in the competition.
Even with players such as Drogba and Lampard still on the missing list, those who will take to the field should still have enough quality to dispatch a team not performing overly well […]


REF TAKES CENTRE STAGE YET AGAIN

Chelsea’s first match sans The Special One and his team of coaches was at Old Trafford against arch rivals Manchester United. A series of contentious refereeing decisions conspired against Chelsea, with the goal thirty seconds after half time should have been blown, Mikel’s dubious sending off and the penalty won by a tumbling Saha to […]


LOOK, EVERYONE… A BALLON

As a little disclaimer before this rant-ette begins, would readers please be advised that the writer is aware a) of the minimal likelihood of anything “true” surfacing through a football gossip site calling itself Soccerthing or FootballForever, and b) the utter impossibility of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reading this. Still, I live in hope.

I EXPECTED MORE

I EXPECTED MORE thumbnail

The word that has been preying on my mind in recent days: mediocre. Well, it’s not the only word, but the others are just synonyms thereof. Bland. Unimaginative. One-dimensional. Dull.
This weekend, Chelsea were well beaten by a better team. Before my fellow fans gather around my front door to harangue me for my lack of […]
