TEN THINGS THAT HAVE TO GO RIGHT FOR US TO BEAT INTER
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. What with the return of Jose’, our run of bad luck at crucial moments in the competition and the desire of finally being able to call ourselves the best team in Europe, I have done ...

HOW BAD IS ROSS TURNBULL?
I normally hate international weeks but this one couldn’t have come at a better time. At least it gets our minds off the catastrophic week that came to an end with the home defeat against Man City. On the plus side we can say that the result and performance at the San Siro give us plenty of hope for ...
WE HAVE TO HATE JOSE’
- AT LEAST FOR NINETY MINUTES – The trouble with two legged ties is that you never really know what is a good result in the first leg. Last year we came away from Anfield with a 3 – 1 win and left the Bridge a fortnight later having collectively aged 340,000 years (I am calculating an average ...

CONFESSION – I AM PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE JT STORY
I hold my hand up and confess to all you CFC fans that I might have had something to do with the breaking of the JT story. A couple of weeks ago I complained to my daughter that it’s been ages since the newspapers ran any interesting Chelsea stories and she sagely suggested it might not have been such ...

MY HALF TERM REPORT CARD (THE SEASON SO FAR)
Actually it’s a half term report plus one game as I am writing this after the Fulham game. With half the season gone we are where we wanted to be on the whole. The recent dropped points have taken the gloss off the season as a whole so far, but who last August wouldn’t have taken top of the league ...
WHY THE ANTI JT CAMPAIGN?
John Terry has been in the eye of the storm recently as all of you will have noted. Apparently if you are England captain any misdemeanor is multiplied by ten and every single newspaper makes sure they get as many column inches as possible out of him. It is not a coincidence that it is now the World ...
THANK GOD FOR ROMAN AND DAVID LEVY
The headline on the back page of yesterday’s News of the World screamed (as all NOTW headlines do) “1 Billion Chinese Takeaway at United”. According to the NOTW six Chinese billionaires are lining up a deal to buy the Old Trafford club for a whopping one billion pounds. United fans are said to ...
TEN CHELSEA PLAYERS I FAILED TO WARM UP TO
Four months into my fifty first year, I confess I still look at most Chelsea players, past and present, with a certain hero worship more befitting a 13 year old. But try as I might there are ten blokes who have worn our beloved royal blue shirt, and some dodgy away ones too, who, try as I might, have ...
ARSENE’S SENILITY AND MY INCONTINENCE
My first attempt at writing this article started last Sunday just before midnight and went something like this – Didier Drogba tra la la la la la, Didier Drogba tra la la la la la. And on and on it went. I had another go yesterday (Monday) but the only the words that came into my mind were Wenger, ...
STICKING MY NECK OUT
With Sunday’s game satisfactorily out of the way, I am going to make a bold prediction – if we win the next three games we are home and dry as far as the Premiership is concerned.

SECTION FOOTIE JOURNOS UNDER THE MENTAL HEALTH ACT
I envy those who make a living writing about football.

In the space of eight days we went from being world beaters (Saturday 26th September ...
