We head oop North this Sunday for a league clash with Blackburn Rovers knowing that the six point gap between Chelsea and top of the table Arsenal needs to be eradicated as soon as possible, by one way and one way only; wins, wins, and more wins. The tricky Christmas and New Year period can [...]
Continue reading …As many of you know, the situation with CFCnet these past 12 months has been precarious. We’ve been talking about the financial side of CFCnet now for a good while since we went public with the issues we face, and we’ve looked at many avenues in an effort to pay our running costs and to [...]
Continue reading …Chelsea joined Tottenham, Arsenal, and our semi final opponents Everton, in the final four of this season’s Carling Cup with a convincing 2-0 win over a much changed Liverpool side. A heavily deflected Frank Lampard strike and a scorching finish from Andriy Shevchenko sent the Merseysiders out of the competition. Petr Čech made his first [...]
Continue reading …Just what is the point in cup draws anymore? Give Trevor Brooking and co the night off and just put us and Liverpool together. It just seems to be a foregone conclusion these days that we will draw the scousers at some stage in any competition. Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup; we’ve met them [...]
Continue reading …It was Chelsea old boy William Gallas that ended the Blues 16 match unbeaten run, heading home a corner towards the end of the first half to give Arsenal a lead they would never relinquish, and keep Arsene Wenger’s side on top of the English Premiership. The fullbacks was an area of competition for Chelsea, [...]
Continue reading …The big man’s out, he needs a knee operation, what can we do? (Bar have a slight panic attack and breathe heavily into a bag?) We can still win, that’s what, and coming into the biggest week since Avram first took over that comes as a bit of a relief. The obvious starting point would [...]
Continue reading …Unbelievably that little scamp that is the Premier League fixtures computer has yet again thrown up another “Grand Slam Sunday”, with the so-called “big four” facing each other in two games which will supposedly shape the course of the season. More realistically the matches will drown in the hyperbole and end up as damp squibs, [...]
Continue reading …Much has been said about the lack of young supporters at this club these days. I speak to many people, who go on about the 80’s where everywhere you looked, teenagers would be there wearing Blue and White. Now obviously in those days it was much easier for groups of teenagers to get up and [...]
Continue reading …My daily journey to and from work takes me through the wilds of North London. Bravely I stopped off at Gillespie Road station one evening this week and sought out the only sane man in the area, Jonathan Chong. Jon was still searching for Thierry Henry’s detached head, after it was surgically removed from the [...]
Continue reading …Avram Grant took the chance to rest a few of his first team regulars for this match against Spanish side Valencia, with nothing on the line, yet the Blues still dominated their rivals and were very unlucky to come away with just a 0-0 draw, the woodwork thrice denying Chelsea as well as the brilliant [...]
Continue reading …The final match in the Champions League group stages will be played out tonight at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Valencia in a match with little meaning for the blues who’ve already qualified as group leaders. Valencia however, bottom of the group, still have a UEFA Cup place to aim for. The 2-1 win in [...]
Continue reading …A rare Andriy Shevchenko goal and a not-so-rare Frank Lampard penalty was enough to give Chelsea a comfortable 2-0 win over Roy Keane’s Sunderland side, and ergo extend our unbeaten run of matches to 15. Shaun Wright-Phillips was preferred to Steve Sidwell as the third member of the Chelsea midfield, with Michael Essien still out [...]
Continue reading …Blues fans the shrinking world over cant fail but to have been seduced by the epic drama unfolding at Stamford Bridge this season. The opinions, aphorisms and heretical thoughts that cascaded along the ever flowing river that is Chelsea Football Club at the time of Jose Mourinho’s dramatic departure less than three months ago have [...]
