When will the endless recycling and regurgitation end eh? No sooner than Hollywood was finished with the 70s the cinema was quickly awash with piss poor remakes and sequels of Eighties nostalgia trips. Watching the likes of the A-Team, Indiana Jones, Transformers and Tron is a depressing experience. I’m no longer entering the cinema to [...]
Continue reading …The jittery excitement was difficult to bare at times on Monday. Sky Sports News gave us the usual giddy coverage and left many with Tinnitus from Jim White bellowing about the next ‘SSN exclusive’. There were helicopters hovering about, insane last minute bids (not all, but most, from Harry Redknapp) and a general air of [...]
Continue reading …This time last year Carlo cheekily rebuffed any suggestions of personnel changes during the window by saying he would streak around Cobham if any business was done. Thankfully for any nearby onlookers the chequebook remained closed. This January is different though and if Carlo can nab a player to help cover the injuries to Alex, [...]
Continue reading …We don’t want much for Christmas, us Chelsea fans, just three points and then let the merriment begin. It’s been a bumpy month for the team. We’ve had some shocking and some decent games, some heartless displays and some bad luck. Sometimes we haven’t got what we deserved, others could have been a whole lot [...]
Continue reading …The defeat in the Carling Cup I could take with a shrug, for me the positives of the performance far outweighed getting knocked out so early in the competition. The young players acquitted themselves well, the team showed terrific character to fight back and wrestle control of the game with a man less.
Continue reading …You had to chuckle at the Taggart-faced cheek of Alex Ferguson’s comments at the weekend. As Berbatov grabbed that rarity in football, a late winner at Old Trafford, to lift his underlings to a shaky win Ferguson took no time to gloat.
Continue reading …You might have noticed Sky’s gadget-laden football behemoth has returned to our screens this season. Monday Night Football is a preposterously entertaining as ever and not much has changed. Andy Gray still pisses about with a complex computer tactics screen whenever the need does or doesn’t arise, highlighting incidents and cross examining them like a [...]
Continue reading …Anyone seen that advert doing the rounds lately where an annoying ginger kid chirps on about how optimistic he is that a new football season is starting?
Continue reading …The club have been relatively quiet in the transfer market so far with only one new addition to the squad next year in creative midfielder Yossi Benayoun. Given the overinflated price tags that midfielders Di Maria and David Silva have chalked up recently getting such a proven, quality premiership player for a fraction of the [...]
Continue reading …With much of the talk on the group games being too defence-minded and drab up stepped an inspired Portugal to thump North Korea seven nil and banish such thoughts to the distant past. There was only one Chelsea player who took part in that familiar looking score line, Ricardo Carvalho. Riccy very nearly got the [...]
Continue reading …Oh dear. If we thought France’s opening performance was awful the Les Bleus readily sunk to new and impressive lows with a pitiful shift put in against Mexico. At last, justice of sorts, as a team in green were deserved winners, and have left French World Cup hopes clinging by a thread. Raymond Domenech has [...]
Continue reading …So it was on to this tournament’s Group of Death, otherwise known as G, as no more than five Chelsea players squared up to each other. This promised to an enthralling game, arguably Africa’s best team up against one of Europe’s finest, currently ranked third according to FIFA’s confusing system. It also would see two [...]
Continue reading …The world cup didn’t get off to the best of starts for the Chelsea contingent. Injuries have robbed the tournament of two of its brightest African stars in Michael Essien and Obi Mikel. Also at the treatment table this summer is Michael Ballack who is no doubt missing his last chance to play on the [...]
