THAT’S WHY WE’RE CHAMPIONS! THE CHELSEA FOOTBALL FANCAST #128

THAT’S WHY WE’RE CHAMPIONS! THE CHELSEA FOOTBALL FANCAST #128

By admin • on September 4, 2010

The boys discuss the 2-0 defeat of a typically attritional Stoke, applaud some top performances by Ashley Cole, Florent Malouda, Mikel, John Terry and Alex, and ponder the forthcoming challenges of the Carling Cup and Champions League. No 6-0 this week, so we’ll just have to be satisfied with 32 league goals without reply in our last 7 games. The ...

WTF IS MNF?

WTF IS MNF?

By Daniel Rankine • on August 27, 2010

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, ...

CHELSEA OLD SCHOOL LET LOOSE ON MERSEYSIDE

By Martin Rowe • on August 25, 2010

CFCnet has to apologise for the late arrival of this blog post.  In our defence, last weekend saw a momentous event in the history of Chelsea FC.  No, not our exceptional result against Wigan but rather that one of Chelsea’s most famous fans saw fit to host his 50th birthday bash in, of all places, ...

THE REPLACEMENTS

THE REPLACEMENTS

By Rob Hobson • on August 24, 2010

Nearly two years after a handful of bankers turned the world upside down with a series of frolicsome bets on whether people would be able to pay off mortgages they never should have had in the first place, plenty of us are still genuinely feeling the effects of the worldwide recession. Even the footballing ...

WIGAN ATHLETIC: BEWARE THE WOUNDED ANIMAL

WIGAN ATHLETIC: BEWARE THE WOUNDED ANIMAL

By Nigel Ingram • on August 19, 2010

The current champions and early league leaders take on humiliated Wigan Athletic in the late kick-off on Saturday at the 25,000 capacity DW Stadium. Chelsea have lost once, last year’s debacle, at the DW but are odds on to leave with 3 points this time around. Wigan were humiliated by local rivals ...

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

By Mark Daniell • on August 18, 2010

Right, well, that’s the Premier League underway, and now that every team has played at least once I think we’re justified in jumping to conclusions. After all, if we learnt nothing else from the World Cup – and we didn’t – it’s that you can easily forecast what the general outcome ...

ANCELOTTI’S 4-3-3

ANCELOTTI’S 4-3-3

By Andy Seaby • on August 17, 2010

There is an argument in some cases that a manager is to build the formation of his side based around the players he has at his disposal rather then to mould his squad into his preferred method. The story of Ancelotti’s time at Chelsea is the perfect example. Take Frank Lampard as an example, we ...

WHEN IT MATTERS, CHELSEA DELIVERS

WHEN IT MATTERS, CHELSEA DELIVERS

By Martin Rowe • on August 16, 2010

For all the talk about pre-season crises, when it really mattered Chelsea delivered. We harked on all summer that we couldn’t care less about pre-season results and even the Community Shield only held passing interest. August 14th was when it really counted. The result? 6-0, a hat-trick from Drogba ...

CFCNET INTERVIEWS KEN MONKOU

By Jez Walters • on August 12, 2010

Two days ago we bumped into Ken Monkou, Chelsea Player of the Year in 1990, who kindly agreed to do a ten minute pre-season video interview.  We’re pleased with the footage but, following the interview, we summarily sacked our studio television manager (ridiculous shutter blind background) and sound ...

THE KING’S ARMS IS BACK IN BUSINESS

By admin • on August 10, 2010

OK, a little heads up from CFCnet. People ask us where we meet up and drink before and after a match. After 15 years of keeping it quiet, the short answer is… the King’s Arms, 190 Fulham Road. With the West Bromwich game kicking off at 5.30pm this Saturday, feel free to come in and join us ...
