Chelsea and Tottenham may have huffed and puffed their way through 90 minutes at White Hart Lane, but Manchester United and Arsenal must have breathed a collective sigh of relief as, once again, Chelsea, somewhat ingloriously, contrived to almost snatch a defeat from what seemed like certain victory. Three goals to the good, with just […]

‘F*ck all … you’re gonna win f*ck all, you’re gonna win f*ck all, you’re gonna win f*ck all’. The chant had rung loudly in my ears, tinnitus-like, as I’d made my way down Tottenham High Road in the direction of Seven Sisters tube station last Wednesday night.

Chelsea were involved in their second 4-4 draw of the Premiership season, this time against Juande Ramos’ cunning Tottenham side, at White Hart Lane.

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 […]

“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 […]
