A quarter of the season has now passed. With yet another lull of perpetual boredom and contemplation devoid of any football worth (otherwise billed as the international break), it’s as good a time as any to analyse how we’re doing so far. If you can bare with the analogy, I’d like to compare the season [...]

Tuesday 1 November Racing Genk 1:1 Chelsea Another shower of shite evening. This was an unbalanced side that clearly assumed Genk would be as poor as they were at the Bridge. Lulled into a false sense of security we were stung in the second-half and nearly faultered. Remember this is not a full-strength Belgian minnow [...]

First let’s clear up some misconceptions: as a term of address, Negro in South America means ‘man of the people’, ‘salt of the earth’, an archaic reference to the dark skin of the natives who lived there before the Europeans colonised. As such it is now used as a casual interjection to mean mate, pal, [...]

Tuesday 25 October Oh, here we go. QPR have filed a complaint about John Terry’s supposedly racist language on Sunday. QPR even had the balls to say they were keen to put an end to the matter; er, so why not just accept John’s explanation? This matter can only really be vindictive: Anton Ferdinand did [...]

So, the votes are counted, the results are in, and the initial proposal from CFC to buy out the CPO failed to pass by the required majority of 75%. About this I am happy, as I voted NO, for what I feel are very good reasons, motivated by a love of Chelsea and a desire [...]

A Robin van Persie hat trick exploited and deepened Chelsea’s defensive woes on Saturday after suffering a second consecutive defeat in London derbies, prompting Andre Villas Boas to dismiss the goal tending as a case of misfortune, but among all the questions that are presented after this weekend’s defeat remains the question of where is [...]
Continue reading …It has been a tumultuous saga for everyone involved in the race saga, prompted by footage of John Terry saying three words that were posted on the internet after the away defeat against QPR at Loftus Road, but the horrendous pondering of the press throughout has been self defecating and negating the FA investigation which [...]
Continue reading …So the battle is won – and now for the peace? As you know, the frantic and fractious 4 hour meeting at Stamford Bridge to vote on CFC’s proposal to buy back the freehold of the pitch was eventually rejected by shareholders. The joy was limitless! One man and his dog actually did turn out [...]
Continue reading …Dear Bruce, I wonder if by the time you are reading this, Roman Abravomich will already have dispensed with your services. If not, then please do what is best for Chelsea football club and resign with immediate effect. You have made your position completely untenable with regard to your actions over the last few [...]

An inside source in Chelsea’s 5th floor has let slip what a number of canny CPO watchers have felt for some time. Namely, the Club intends to move to a ready-built stadium in 2020. That stadium is Twickenham. At one point it seemed Wembley might get the nod but we have heard from a few [...]
Continue reading …The deed is done and Stamford Bridge is resigned to history – surely the 20 plus purchasers of 100 voting shares in the last few days are no friends of Stamford Bridge? That’s right. 20 or so wealthy individuals have each paid £10,000 to buy 100 shares in recent days according to the CPO share [...]

Until relatively recently, I had always believed that in my many years of watching football, I had only seen Chelsea blatantly conned by a referee in domestic football once. Let’s face it, continental football has been corrupt for as long as it has existed, so the Frisk and Ovrebo fiascos in games when we dared [...]

Monday 17 October Chelsea reserves 2:3 Wolverhampton Wanderers reserves Romelu Lukaku, Milan Lalkovic and Josh McEachran all played but Wolves were just too strong. We started brightly with Lukaku thumping a 30-yarder and McEachran and Kaby Djalo linking superbly but … a slip by Chalobah and a long ball was 0-1. They made it 0-2 [...]
