Is Torres in the last chance saloon?
I love Fernando Torres, I really do. Not in the biblical sense you understand, God forbid, but if there was one person who wished Torres would succeed more than me, I haven’t met him. Yet the strikers’ graveyard curse that has stalked our beloved Club for decades – let’s talk Robert Fleck (Norwich hero: Chelsea [...]
Is Chelsea Football Club guilty of shabby treatment of the one-time French national captain or is Florent Malouda taking the p**s?

Two games into the season and what have Chelsea fans learnt so far? Quite a few things actually, most of them good. Granted, we haven’t been tested by a really solid team yet although both Reading and Wigan were no pushovers. Here’s what we’ve learnt: Hazard has the ball glued to his feet: the French [...]

As the biggest independent fans website for Chelsea FC, it’s important we repeat our stance on Chelsea Pitch Owners and the debate surrounding a proposed stadium move. We’re prompted to do so by a number of comments on our forums by a very vocal minority (surprisingly consistent throughout the web on the subject) criticising the [...]

If there was a Champions League for bitterness in defeat, Bayern Munich would have five gold stars embroidered on their shirts. The cocky Krauts thought all they had to do was turn up in their stadium to collect their cup before a raucous Sunday parade transformed their city into a riot of colour and bravado. [...]

The current phony war whereby each faction (Club, players and manager) independently brief their own favourite media hacks is wearisome – each year we have to put up with the same in-fighting played out in the back pages and columns of the national media. For me, AVB hasn’t impressed. Neither has he impressed the ten [...]

Let’s get one thing clear at the outset, CFCnet is not against Chelsea FC moving to a larger ground. A poll of our readers shows that 63% are in favour of moving to a new home. Whilst we’d prefer to remain at Stamford Bridge, we’re not naive enough to think that we can challenge the [...]

Frank Lampard’s omission from the first eleven against Swansea represents a watershed for him and for Chelsea FC itself. Has his time come to an end? Or is it all a storm in a teacup with Frank just being used more sparingly and wisely? It’s probably a mixture of both. Yet it’s not just a [...]

As this is our last post of season 2010/2011, CFCnet would like to thank the 3 readers who subscribed to our RSS feed. We hope that the timing of our posts – 11pm at night – helped slip them into a deep, restful sleep. Rather like our season really. It feels strange to talk about [...]

Does CFCnet consider this season a write-off? Not at all. Yes, we’re disappointed at our mid-season collapse and our capitulation to Manchester United both in the League and Champions League. The fact remains, however, that we’ve come second in the Premiership to a team playing their third Champions League Final in four years. For that [...]

So, the votes are in – two thirds of CFCnet readers want Carlo Ancelotti to remain as manager next season. These are preliminary results, indeed the polls are still open, and it would be good for us to gauge whether the wider Chelsea-supporting community also wants Carlo to stay. You can vote directly by clicking [...]
Continue reading …CFCnet would like to know our readers’ views over whether Carlo Ancelotti should remain our manager next season. Many of the staff at CFCnet feel he should stay, if only for continuity’s sake, and with the full recognition that he is the only manager in our Club’s history to win the Double. Please visit the [...]
Continue reading …What a week it’s been at CFCnet. We could write numerous blog posts covering a multitude of topics but in this post we want to focus on just two. The first point we’d like to make is how heartened we were when we read the latest issue of cfcuk, the print fanzine sold outside the [...]
