AVRAM NEEDS DERBY DAY WIN
A week which we all want to forget could end on a memorable note at Upton Park this Saturday, as an under-pressure Avram Grant leads his troops to the East side of the city for what could be the start of a belated renaissance. Just one win in our last five games, including that black Sunday, has raised ...
AN OPEN LETTER TO PETER KENYON
Dear Mr. Kenyon, Excuse me if this letter is not really your field of competence within Chelsea football club, but to the ordinary fan it is difficult to make heads or tails of who is really in charge at Chelsea. I am a Maltese supporter since 1966, since the day Chelsea went top of the league in September ...

THOROUGHLY SECOND-BEST

CARLING CUP FINAL - PLAYER RATINGS
Don’t let the frantic last 15 minutes fool you. We deserved to lose because we showed little desire to contribute anything to the game. We were negative from the start and only looked like we had any passion after Spurs took the lead. The match facts are that Cech made another big game mistake ...

Avram Grant’s first opportunity to win silverware as Chelsea boss went begging as Juande Ramos’ Tottenham came from behind to win the first Carling Cup Final at the new Wembley Stadium.

“It was very painful… It is not a good feeling,” said Avram Grant after THAT defeat to THEM on a dismal Sunday afternoon. You know what Avram? The rest of us aren’t jumping for joy either. A frankly pathetic display with supposedly our strongest side available has simply served ...
