And now even that’s been taken ...

By James Pearson • on March 15, 2010

John Terry will presumably accept support from wherever he can get it at the moment but it might surprise Chelsea fans to learn that the most eloquent defence of the former England captain came from Arsenal’s Andrei Arshavin.

WE’D LIKE TO SHOW THE WORLD THE WAY TO … SING!

By David Stamford Chidge Chidgey • on March 11, 2010

Passion. Tribalism. Noise and fried onions. Tension. And lots of singing! That’s what football and supporting Chelsea have always been about for me. When I first moved to the manor in the mid ‘80’s and was supporting the Chels from the pub (we didn’t have armchairs and Sky Sports in those days!), ...

Despite the West Ham game next Saturday being an absolutely must win game my mind is very much tuned in to the Champions League tie against Inter the following Tuesday.

HOW BAD IS ROSS TURNBULL?

By Richard Micallef • on March 4, 2010
