In 1961, Chelsea’s youth team won the second of back to back FA Youth Cups. 47 years later, the Blues have finally returned to the Final of the prestigious youth tournament, and with a generation of talent to rival that of the last team to win, stand a very strong chance of winning.It has been a […]

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 […]

The odds on Avram Grant lasting to next season have just become about as long as Barnsley’s of winning this cup tie. So it could happen, but several things — such as a league title and a Champions League trophy — have to happen. In this game several things happened to provide the entire country, […]

The last time Chelsea travelled to Oakwell, Gianluca Vialli scored four as the Blues ran out 6-0 winners. This time however, it was not the be, as the Tykes FA Cup fairytale continued, following up their victory over Liverpool with a 1-0 quarter final win over Avram Grant’s Chelsea.

AVRAM GRANT: AN APOLOGY thumbnail

I, Rowan Farnham-Long, would like to make a sincere apology to Chelsea manager Avram Grant, relating to comments made to everyone and anyone who would listen following his side’s disappointing 1-0 defeat to Championship Barnsley on the 8th March 2008.
In the heat of the moment I said some things which are not true and were […]

Three becomes two as Chelsea crash out of the FA Cup against giant killers Barnsley.
No cohesion, a lack of passion and the complete inability to string more than three passes together cost us dear against a side playing for their lives.
No doubt the analysis will continue long after this game is over, but what does […]

A comfortable mid-week win over Olympiakos in the Champions League has set Chelsea up nicely for another cup game this weekend, with lower-league Barnsley standing in the way of an FA Cup semi-final date. The Championship side typified the spirit of the oldest club competition in the World by beating Liverpool at Anfield in the […]

FA Cup holders Chelsea comfortably advanced to the quarter finals of this season’s competition, beating League One side Huddersfield 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. The victory was a great morale booster, with the upcoming Carling Cup Final and the returns of our ACN representatives plus John Terry and Frank Lampard, giving Avram Grant plenty of reasons […]
