So, the votes are counted, the results are in, and the initial proposal from CFC to buy out the CPO failed to pass by the required majority of 75%. About this I am happy, as I voted NO, for what I feel are very good reasons, motivated by a love of Chelsea and a desire [...]
A Robin van Persie hat trick exploited and deepened Chelsea’s defensive woes on Saturday after suffering a second consecutive defeat in London derbies, prompting Andre Villas Boas to dismiss the goal tending as a case of misfortune, but among all the questions that are presented after this weekend’s defeat remains the question of where is [...]

It has been a tumultuous saga for everyone involved in the race saga, prompted by footage of John Terry saying three words that were posted on the internet after the away defeat against QPR at Loftus Road, but the horrendous pondering of the press throughout has been self defecating and negating the FA investigation which [...]

A poor second-half cost Chelsea dear against Arsenal in an enthralling London derby which saw eight goals during a mad ninety minutes. Goals from Frank Lampard, John Terry and Juan Mata were not enough, as the away side profited from strikes by Robin van Persie – who netted a hat-trick – Andre Santos and Theo [...]
Continue reading …So the battle is won – and now for the peace? As you know, the frantic and fractious 4 hour meeting at Stamford Bridge to vote on CFC’s proposal to buy back the freehold of the pitch was eventually rejected by shareholders. The joy was limitless! One man and his dog actually did turn out [...]
Continue reading …The continuing arrogance of the board of Chelsea FC is beginning to grate. Earlier today, Chelsea TV trotted out a plastic piece of PR guff that made the legions of CPO holders want to throw up on their prospectuses. The club view? “We are disappointed at the result but encouraged by the fact that 62% [...]
Continue reading …Chelsea need to get back to winning ways this weekend against Arsenal after an unexpected loss at QPR and despite some suspensions Chelsea should be looking to not only pick up three points but also to land some bets for Chelsea fans in the process. Chelsea are the favourites to win this match but it [...]
Continue reading …Dear Bruce, I wonder if by the time you are reading this, Roman Abravomich will already have dispensed with your services. If not, then please do what is best for Chelsea football club and resign with immediate effect. You have made your position completely untenable with regard to your actions over the last few [...]

This weekend Chelsea welcome North London’s second entry to the Europa League for next season. A tie that usually provides sparks has fittingly fallen close to Guy Fawkes night, throw in Chelsea’s discipline levels of late and fireworks could almost certainly be on the cards. The Mickey Mouse Cup on Wednesday saw Chelsea field a [...]
Continue reading …Ron Gourlay, Bruce Buck, Richard King, Bob Sewell….your boys took one hell of a beating. A 39% beating to be precise – the boxing equivalent of a deep blow to the solar plexus followed by an uppercut to the jaw (metaphorically speaking). The Club must be kicking themselves because their coup d’état failed only because [...]

Chelsea played the majority of the game with nine men, but still competed with their London rivals and came close to getting a point. The initial setup from Andre Villas-Boas was the customary 4-3-3 system, with Drogba and Terry restored to the starting line up, as well as Sturridge, Mata and Mikel. Queens Park Rangers [...]

An inside source in Chelsea’s 5th floor has let slip what a number of canny CPO watchers have felt for some time. Namely, the Club intends to move to a ready-built stadium in 2020. That stadium is Twickenham. At one point it seemed Wembley might get the nod but we have heard from a few [...]
Continue reading …The deed is done and Stamford Bridge is resigned to history – surely the 20 plus purchasers of 100 voting shares in the last few days are no friends of Stamford Bridge? That’s right. 20 or so wealthy individuals have each paid £10,000 to buy 100 shares in recent days according to the CPO share [...]
