37 games, 25 wins, nine draws and three defeats; 64 goals scored, 25 conceded. The vital statistics which have shaped our season so far.

Champions League finalists Chelsea must put any thoughts of the Moscow showpiece to one side this Bank Holiday Monday, as they travel up to Newcastle with three points separating the Blues and Manchester United at the top of the Premier League table. As expected, West Ham rolled over for United at Old Trafford on Saturday, […]

One leg down, one to go this Wednesday evening as the Blues welcome Liverpool to Stamford Bridge in a Champions League semi-final second leg.

This ludicrously arranged Thursday evening game provides a larger hurdle than usual, […]

Thanks to the Premier League, the FA, Setanta and Sky, we do not have another fixture this season which takes place in the traditional timeslot of three o’clock on a Saturday afternoon.
