If it was Rafa’s plan to fire up Fergie and his team so that they would beat Chelsea today it certainly worked. Mind you, to be honest I don’t think Chelsea would have got a result today even before Rafa hatched his cunning plan before the nations media. Did he really have notes on a [...]

Chelsea warmed up for next Sunday’s Premiership clash with Manchester United with a 1 – 1 draw with Championship side Southend. Although Chelsea led the goal opportunity stats quite significantly Southend managed to score one of their two chances late into the game. Chelsea seem to be susceptible to set pieces at the moment with [...]

Chelsea made the shortest away trip of the season this afternoon and disappointingly drew with Fulham. The Blue went down to an early Clint Dempsey goal. Simon Davies swung over a free-kick, Dempsey had time to control at the far post and with his back to goal, divert the ball past Cech. On 50 minutes [...]

THE XMAS MIRACLE

No Comment

Didier Drogba and stand in captain, Frank Lampard gave Chelsea fans some Xmas cheer yesterday. Didier got into the Xmas spirit early with a text book header after just 4 minutes. (Incidentally this was Didier’s first goal of the Premiership campaign.) Chelsea continued to look dominant without actually moving up to top gear. Lampard scored before halftime [...]

Big Phil has told the media that fellow Brazilian Alex wants to stay with the club and is happy to be part of the squad. This is quite timely considering JT’s red card on Monday night.  Not the cleverest tackle in the world but I have to agree with a guy in the forum who [...]

Today’s draw for the next round of the Champions League threw up some mouth watering clashes. The tie that the media will be salivating over is the all Spanish affair between Rafa’s Liverpool and Real Madrid. This means of course that there will be at least one Spanish team in the quarter finals. The English [...]

Petr Cech has called on his team mates to replicate Chelsea’s superb away form at home. Chelsea have won only once in their last five league games in SW6. However the away form is exemplary with eleven wins out of eleven. The early goal is the key according to big Pete. Sunday’s draw with West [...]

IN IT TO WIN IT

Wow! What a super Saturday as far as results go. Saturday night’s sports headlines centred around the “shock” of Arsenal being held away at Boro. Whilst Gerrard kept Liverpool in the title race with a crucial point at home against Hull City. (c) ITV News Just a few moments ago the final whistle went at [...]

Chelsea progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League courtesy of goals from Kalou and the returning Drogba. It wasn’t a high performance display but the Blues had enough of the play to warrant the win. Chelsea finish second in the group to Roma who beat a disappointing Bordeaux side two nil in Italy.

The Daily Mail’s Rob Draper reported that Chelsea have censored some of Big Phil’s comments concerning the squad’s strength and depth on the official club website. Apparently Phil told supporters at the latest “Star on the Stool” event that the club must sign players in next month’s transfer window if they want trophies this season. [...]

Congratulations to Frank Lampard who was named BBC London Player of the Year yesterday. It’s not been a good 12 months for Frank who lost his mother earlier in the year. On the footballing front, Frank was also part of the Chelsea team that suffered losses in the Carling Cup and the Champions League final. [...]

Not only did Chelsea beat Bolton today they also set a new record with an 11th straight win with goals from much abused Nicolas Anelka and the derided of late, Deco. Deco’s goal, and Chelsea’s second, was a spectacular over head kick which I’m sure will be ignored on Match of the Day in favour of [...]
