RETURN OF THE LEGENDS PART TWO – THE SPECIAL ONE

By Darren Mantle • on March 16, 2010

Tonight we look to turn around a 2-1 deficit at home to Inter Milan, with a place in the quarter finals of the Champions League being at stake. The match, our fourth home game in a row, kicks off at 7.45 and will be televised. Hopefully we get off to a better start then three weeks ago, in which Milito fired the Nerazurri into a third minute lead, ...

BRIDGE AT THE BRIDGE

By Justin Weible • on February 26, 2010

Saturday’s clash between Chelsea and Manchester City at Stamford Bridge has as many twists and turns in the storyline as a daytime soap opera, in addition to two teams playing football. Chelsea return to action after a 2-1 defeat to Inter at the San Siro. Interesting enough, the Premier League has ...

CHELSEA LOOKING TO IMPROVE AWAY FORM

By Justin Weible • on February 19, 2010

Chelsea’s poor run of form away from home will be tested once again on Saturday, as we battle Wolves at Molineux. Away form has been a cause for concern for Ancelotti’s squad as we have only won once in our last five matches away from Stamford Bridge. It’s one of the reasons that we only enjoy ...

SWAGGERING BLUES HEAD FOR MERSEYSIDE

By Rowan Farnham-Long • on February 8, 2010

Arsene Wenger is known to some as ‘The Professor’. To others, he is known as much worse, but for now we’ll stick with the initial moniker. He may have to give up that title – along with any chance at winning the Premier League title – though. Why? Because on Sunday, it was Chelsea who were ...

CHELSEA AIM TO FIRE TITLE CHALLENGE BACK ON TRACK

By Darren Mantle • on February 5, 2010

Our next match is this Sunday at 4pm, against potential league title contenders Arsenal. Currently two points ahead of the pack, a win would give our squad that belief that they can deliver the league title, as well as leave Arsenal’s hopes hanging by a thread, nine points off the pace. After dropping ...

TERRY NOT YET OUT THE WOODS, AS CHELSEA FACE THE TIGERS

By Darren Mantle • on February 2, 2010

This evening we play the rescheduled match against Hull City, which will hopefully see us regain our four point lead at the top. January was much kinder to us then December, winning both our F.A Cup matches, thrashing Sunderland 7-2, Birmingham 3-0 and beating Burnley the Saturday just been. Drogba’s ...

BURNLEY NEXT FOR BOUYANT BLUES

By Rowan Farnham-Long • on January 29, 2010

After briefly falling from the top of the Premier League table to the lowly depths of third position, last week saw a re-awakening of sorts as we thundered our way back up to pole position with a convincing win over Champions League hopefuls (no, really) Birmingham City. While those Blues dare to dream, ...

Tomorrow lunchtime see’s our Chelsea travel up to the north west of England for the away F.A Cup tie with Preston North End at Deepdale.

BLUES FANS PRAY FOR BLUE SKIES ON SATURDAY

By Rowan Farnham-Long • on January 15, 2010

Football. Anyone remember it? For those of you who have let it slip your minds, it used to be this intriguing ball game which was played on lush, green grass, you know, when England still had lush, green grass. But that was before the snow came, the roads froze, some people fell over, and football came ...

Hopefully, tomorrow lunchtime we will face Hull City at the KC Stadium. The much talked about weather may be a problem, there is yet to be increased speculation or reasoning why the match may be called off, so we hope that at worse it’s just delayed. At the time of writing this, only our neighbours ...
