Kidney stones have destroyed Liverpool’s season. The Reds were top of the league and looking steady until those little blighters struck Rafa Benitez, leaving him unable to manage his team from the sidelines. Instead, the goateed Spaniard was holed up at home with only his paranoia and a copy of Microsoft Word to keep him [...]
CHELSEA 2-0 MIDDLESBROUGH Chelsea moved back into second place in the English Premier League with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge against Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbrough. The Blues were able to capitalise on Liverpool’s slip up, with Benitez’s side only able to draw with Wigan Athletic. John Terry and John Obi Mikel returned to the [...]
Continue reading …Just a few days ago we were asked by the new Chelsea “fan mag” Chelsea Chelsea to come up with some questions for an interview with Chelsea and England’s Frank Lampard. So we thought that we would ask some our Club CFCnet members to come up with some of the questions. Frank, being Frank, duly [...]
Continue reading …We all follow the Chelsea … begins a popular Chelsea chant, but more and more these days I’m beginning to wonder if this assumptive terrace anthem is in fact correct. The football media circus may have re-pitched its tent 200 miles north of Stamford Bridge focussing its frenzied attentions on the engaging dramas unfolding at [...]
Continue reading …Try and contain your frustration with the following remark, Chelsea fans. Chelsea Football Club has a certain amount of sympathy for the situation that Manchester City Football Club finds itself in. No, this is not the precursor to a sneering 500 words about how Chelsea didn’t have quite the same problems persuading, say, Hernan Crespo [...]
Continue reading …Sunday 18 January Rumours that Roman is looking for a buyer, emerge from the Sunday Times, who, it has to be said are not the most reliable source. In fact the club announced defamation proceedings will start on Monday against the publishers of the Sunday Times, who, of course, own Sky. Expect fewer live games [...]
Continue reading …Three wins from three games; how did that happen? Slowly but surely we’re picking up results, if not plaudits, and it’s almost enough to sweep those pesky goals conceded from set-pieces well under the carpet. We have even started to score a few of our own! The team are beginning to march to the same [...]
Continue reading …CHELSEA 3-1 IPSWICH TOWN Chelsea’s set piece woes continued at Stamford Bridge, conceding yet another goal due to poor marking, and this made for nervous tension amongst Chelsea fans until Frank Lampard’s scorching free kick put daylight between the two teams. Ipswich Town fought valiantly, but the gulf in class proved too much in the [...]
Continue reading …Chelsea shrugged of some winter blues today with a 3 – 1 over Ipswich Town. Around this time last season Michael Ballack hit some good form and it looks like he’s just about to do the same one year on. Ballack scored twice today to send the curly wig wearing Suffolk folk back up the [...]
Continue reading …Please, for just one weekend, let‘s just have it easy. I know it may be too much to ask right now but just one Saturday. It can’t be that hard to do, we used to do it all the time. Come on, just let this FA Cup tie against Ipswich Town be a routine win [...]
Continue reading …One thing that has always mystified me since Roman Abramovich’s arrival is the way decisions are taken at Chelsea. Or rather why they are taken. Some defy any kind of logic known to mankind. Starting with the premise that Roman is no fool, it is even more baffling trying to understand some of the goings on [...]
Continue reading …Due to a late change in Jez Walters’ schedule, the fans forum was attended by myself to represent CFCnet. Present from the club were Graham Smith, Peter Kenyon, Simon Greenberg and Ed Ashwell. Neil Barnett of Chelsea TV fame also attended to observe the meeting. Personally I felt the meeting went really well. Kenyon, who [...]
Continue reading …There is a period of time that exists beyond the scope of clocks, a period so transient it can only be expressed in human terms. It’s that time it takes you to get to the loo after you’ve fumbled the keys in the front door. That time it takes from you casually peering out of [...]
