TIME TO GRANT AVRAM SOME SLACK?

TIME TO GRANT AVRAM SOME SLACK? thumbnail

I was just doing the rounds on some of the Chelsea FC websites a couple of days ago and noticed that, quite rightly, people are not happy with being dumped out of the greatest cup competition in the world by Barnsley. Firstly, I was un-fortunate enough to have been there in the late 80s when […]


FIGHTING BACK

It still hurts.
Wembley, two weeks ago, and we were twenty minutes from the first piece of silverware of the season. A harsh penalty decision and a freak goal off Woodgate’s face and the game had turned.
It wasn’t any wonder that goal didn’t injure him. Sadly Spurs were well worth the win on the […]

They pull a knife, you pull a gun. They send off Lampard, you pull a Ballack. That’s the Premier League way.
If there is an award for most ham-fisted segue into the concept of “Untouchable”, I’d like to claim my prize. But the point is an extremely important one. Just who is irreplaceable at Chelsea right […]


WIN OR LOSE - UP THE BLUES!

WIN OR LOSE - UP THE BLUES! thumbnail

Trudging disconsolately down Wembley Way after witnessing the embarrassingly slip-shod on-field debacle that had culminated in Chelsea’s meek surrender of the Carling Cup to an effervescent Rottenham Dropspur, I’d cast a cursory glance over my shoulder.
The magnificent illuminated arch arcing over the brand new stadium lit up the darkening early evening sky which as if […]


CARLING CUP FINAL - PLAYER RATINGS

CARLING CUP FINAL - PLAYER RATINGS thumbnail

Don’t let the frantic last 15 minutes fool you. We deserved to lose because we showed little desire to contribute anything to the game. We were negative from the start and only looked like we had any passion after Spurs took the lead.
The match facts are that Cech made another big game mistake to cost […]


WEMBLEY RETURN ENDS IN DEFEAT

WEMBLEY RETURN ENDS IN DEFEAT thumbnail

Avram Grant’s first opportunity to win silverware as Chelsea boss went begging as Juande Ramos’ Tottenham came from behind to win the first Carling Cup Final at the new Wembley Stadium. Didier Drogba gave Chelsea the lead in the first half, only for Dimitar Berbatov’s penalty and Jonathan Woodgate’s header to edge Spurs back in […]


STILL A LONG WAY TO GO

“It was very painful… It is not a good feeling,” said Avram Grant after THAT defeat to THEM on a dismal Sunday afternoon. You know what Avram? The rest of us aren’t jumping for joy either. A frankly pathetic display with supposedly our strongest side available has simply served to point out several flaws, rather […]

Chelsea put in a poor performance against a resurgent Tottenham side. Drogba gave Chelsea a half time lead before Berbatov… Blah blah blah. You know the rest. Please post your responses in our match day forum.
