You didn’t really think he was going to United did you?
That’s it, it’s confirmed. After months (and even years) of speculation, Jose wasn’t buttering up the Man United hierarchy with his unusually reserved “the better team lost” comments. Mourinho will not be Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement at Old Trafford. But you didn’t REALLY think he was holding out for the job did you? I certainly [...]
For much of this game Chelsea were the dominant force, the attacking threats form the Lillywhites were comfortably blunted and our own attacking endeavour deserved to swing the game. A familiar story for this season, we were once again made to pay for a lack of proficiency and ruthlessness in front of goal. After getting [...]

As the title suggests, hope will be high that Chelsea will once again triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night. While none of us wish for the drama over the 4-3 victory from 1994 that the song “Pride of London” (and where I got the title for this article from) extols, a victory over Spurs [...]

Monday 29 April FA Youth Cup Final 1st Leg Norwich City U18 1:0 Chelsea U18 Undone by another dodgy penalty – this time it was clearly shoulder to shoulder – Chelsea have a second leg at home to redeem themselves. This was a night of countless chances, Islam Feruz could have had a first-half hat-trick, [...]

Andre Villas-Boas returns to Stamford Bridge for the first time this week since his sacking 15 months ago, the now Spurs manager hopes Chelsea fans will be “respectful” and we should show some sympathy to one of many former bosses. In the summer of 2011, AVB introduced himself to European football taking his FC Porto [...]
Continue reading …Watching yesterdays victory over Manchester United on their home turf was obviously thoroughly enjoyable for any Chelsea supporter, including myself. I continued to watch the game from the comfort of my Hotel room in Ecuador whilst finishing off my South American travels. It’s kind of surreal watching the game on South American ESPN and my smile mirrored [...]

Chelsea’s march to successfully finishing in the top four and gaining qualification for next year’s Champions League continues with a trip to Old Trafford to face the Premier League champions Manchester United. This will be the fifth time that these two sides have met this season with Chelsea having drawn once, lost once, and won [...]

And do we need to thank Rafa for his work since stepping in? Since stepping into a cauldron of hate way back in November last year, Rafa has watched over 40 [...]

Put simply, José Mourinho is the greatest Chelsea manager of all time. In a little over three seasons he won two league championships, two league cups, an FA Cup and an FA Community Shield. No Chelsea first team manager has won more silverware. This isn’t opinion or conjecture, it’s a fact (Mr Benetiz please note). [...]

Monday 22 April Luis Suarez said so sorry to Branislav but the damage has been done – the FA charged him with violent conduct and estimates of the ban range from matches to months. Meanwhile, over at the banana republic of Fifa – where scum always rises to the top – the delegate charged with [...]

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the ‘old guard’s’ days at Chelsea are numbered. Frank Lampard doesn’t look like he is going to receive a new contract after his current contract expires this summer, John Terry this week has claimed he is unsure whether he will receive a new contract after his [...]

Given the huge number of games the squad are ploughing through on a week-by-week basis most of Benitez’s tinkering is put down freshening up the starting eleven and resting fatigued players. With media scrutiny focused on the coaches perceived priorities, the trophy for the CV or the financial imperative of the league position, every decision [...]

On Sunday, Swansea City visits Stamford Bridge to face a Chelsea side with incredible urgency to win this match. This is the first meeting between the two sides since the ball-boy kicking incident at the Liberty Stadium, but it’s also a big match for the Blues who saw Tottenham drop points at Wigan on Sunday [...]
