I’m always interested in seeing new teams both in the Premier League and of course when they visit us at Stamford Bridge. There’s something endearing about them and their raised tail, doe-eyed bouncy enthusiasm. Sadly it rarely works out, the gulf between the Premier League and The Championship often being exposed as being the same [...]
It’s been a while since I penned anything for CFCnet. It couldn’t be helped because I’ve been up to my nuts in super-injunctions to prevent the world knowing the truth about me and Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox, Rachel Weisz etc etc ….you get the picture. That might not be exactly true. Not even a little. [...]

There is a small band of Chelsea fans that I know who consider Jose Mourinho to be the nemesis of the beautiful game. They consider his tactics to be negative and his style of football to be functional rather than exciting to watch. They would not want him back under any circumstances. I have a different [...]
Continue reading …On Monday night I settled into the sofa, remote in one hand, drink in the other, ready to watch return to form after the Liverpool debacle. We were up against an in form Fulham, who haven’t hit last years Hodgson inspired heights but have become a tough opponent for any team, as Spurs will testify [...]

Hence no article [...]
Continue reading …When I was approached to write an occasional article for this fine site, I thought it would be easy. After all being a fan of around 40 years means its rare that I have no opinion on affairs Chelsea, and even rarer that there is little to write about. Things have calmed down a lot [...]

A machine constructed of beautifully machined and crafted parts designed for constant high performance. An engine that when it was designed and constructed would run for years with little or no tweaking combining elements of beauty, economy [...]
Continue reading …It’s been a strange few weeks across the Chelsea estate. Let’s be honest it all started with that ill fated trip to Anfield and a defeat against a team that couldn’t buy a win before our arrival. Then we had Wilkinsgate and then the unedifying appointment of Emenalo to deal with. Our leader, JT gets [...]
Continue reading …Last week I wrote an article for ChelseaFC Blog which touched on the permanent sheen of madness which covers our club, and makes us the most bi-polar fans in the league. An idea borrowed from broadcasting genius and renowned Chelsea hater Danny Baker. I still maintain that he’s right, and every real fan knows that [...]
Continue reading …Most reports are bursting with the sort of hurt and disappointment such an abject performance brings. In the good old days this would be considered normal fayre – we were that bi-polar, but in recent years that have seen us lose but 2 Premiership games at home under Scolari, albeit to Arsenal and Liverpool and [...]
