Chelsea made the shortest away trip of the season this afternoon and disappointingly drew with Fulham. The Blue went down to an early Clint Dempsey goal. Simon Davies swung over a free-kick, Dempsey had time to control at the far post and with his back to goal, divert the ball past Cech. On 50 minutes [...]
Chelsea beat West Brom 2-0 today in a one sided encounter at Stamford Bridge, having not won our previous three home matches, with Sunderland on the first day of November being our last home win it was essential that we did not drop yet some more points at home. Lampard was captain in place of [...]
Continue reading …Didier Drogba and stand in captain, Frank Lampard gave Chelsea fans some Xmas cheer yesterday. Didier got into the Xmas spirit early with a text book header after just 4 minutes. (Incidentally this was Didier’s first goal of the Premiership campaign.) Chelsea continued to look dominant without actually moving up to top gear. Lampard scored before halftime [...]
Continue reading …Big Phil has told the media that fellow Brazilian Alex wants to stay with the club and is happy to be part of the squad. This is quite timely considering JT’s red card on Monday night. Not the cleverest tackle in the world but I have to agree with a guy in the forum who [...]
Continue reading …Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Another chance blown, another opportunity snatched from us. Usually at Christmas a little fat man gives gifts, but on Monday night Phil Dowd did the complete opposite for us. The portly fella in green (who began to resemble something we all hate, a sprout) frustrated the life out of [...]
Continue reading …The festive guys at Setanta have yet again proved their complete lack of generosity towards supporters ahead of a meeting between Everton and Chelsea. Ahead of a busy Christmas period of fixtures, the television ‘experts’ have decided to emulate their decision last season to shunt the Goodison Park fixture to a Thursday evening, and yet [...]
Continue reading …Today’s draw for the next round of the Champions League threw up some mouth watering clashes. The tie that the media will be salivating over is the all Spanish affair between Rafa’s Liverpool and Real Madrid. This means of course that there will be at least one Spanish team in the quarter finals. The English [...]
Continue reading …Petr Cech has called on his team mates to replicate Chelsea’s superb away form at home. Chelsea have won only once in their last five league games in SW6. However the away form is exemplary with eleven wins out of eleven. The early goal is the key according to big Pete. Sunday’s draw with West [...]
Continue reading …Frustration. (transitive verb) prevented from achieving something or from being achieved. So says my dictionary. It’s also an overlong board game that gets wheeled out on Christmas Day. After the turkey and wine has worked it’s drowsy magic what better way is there to spend the night than getting wound up by not getting a [...]
Continue reading …The next fortnight could probably decide which team will be celebrating winning The Premiership come next May. At the very least it will decide which team will NOT be celebrating winning The Premiership come May. This has happened in the past five seasons and I see no reason why this one should be any different. [...]
Continue reading …Wow! What a super Saturday as far as results go. Saturday night’s sports headlines centred around the “shock” of Arsenal being held away at Boro. Whilst Gerrard kept Liverpool in the title race with a crucial point at home against Hull City. (c) ITV News Just a few moments ago the final whistle went at [...]
Continue reading …Finally…He’s back. The man, the myth, the midget, the legend, Gianfranco Zola. This Sunday, the universally popular Sardinian will return to the Bridge for the first time since August 2004, in a scene which will be bigger than Beatlemania, Live Aid and a ‘Farewell Florent Malouda’ party all wrapped up into one. The only downside [...]
Continue reading …It’s been long rumoured that top of Big Phil’s Christmas list is a striker for the second act of the season. (Remember kids, a striker is for life, not just for Christmas.) But before he goes and sees Santa it looks as though Christmas might have come early. The hustle and muscle shown by Drogba [...]
