Anyone remember Chelsea in 1976/77? Penniless, seemingly doomed? Violence at every game? Sexy football? Ray Wilkins with hair? Those were the days… Well, to me as an impressionable 13year old it didn’t get any better.
Apparently, according to many rival fans, Chelsea has no history. Our two successive Premiership titles are undeserved, they say, and no […]

With the Carling Cup semi-final coming soon I’m already looking forward to the second leg up in Merseyside.
Goodison Park, I have to say one of my favourite grounds, mainly due to the fact that it remained unchanged from the 1966 World Cup until just recently. Chelsea first played Everton at Goodison in 1908, winning 0-3, all […]

Chelsea have already seen off three managers this season but as we travel the very short distance to Fulham on New Year’s Day it’s a welcome to their new boss Roy Hodgson, who will be looking to get off to the best possible start at Craven Cottage. Hodgson is not the only manager with a […]

There are plenty of Chelsea chants that fill me with mirth. The contemporary lyrical reworking of the Only Fools and Horses theme tune, ‘He stuck a Veron in his pocket, he nicked Glen Johnson from West Ham, cos if you want the best uns and you don’t ask questions then Roman he’s your man.

The win proved to be even more valuable as news of Manchester United’s loss to West […]

Deck the halls, and all that. Here’s another little Xmas offering from us here at CFCnet Towers this festive season, the biggest and best being a new website, coming very soon. Before that happens though, we have for you a quick chat with the man and legend; Kerry Dixon.
Kerry, what did you think about the […]

4-4! Four-four! Four-all! No matter how many times I write it, I still can’t believe it. 4-4 against Aston Villa on Boxing Day was a post-Christmas shambles, we were all still full up with turkey and all the trimmings yet that debacle was still rammed down our throats. Now, just three days later, we have […]

Chelsea’s festive season got off to an entertaining, if costly start at Stamford Bridge, with an incredible 4-4 draw against Aston Villa. Three red cards, two penalties, a free kick and a scorcher from Shevchenko all part of this Christmas cracker; a game destined to go down in Premiership history as the “Thriller against Villa.”
Surprisingly, […]
