Chelsea Credit Card Betfair
Fulham v Chelsea
Another short trip across the west of town for a clash with our poor cousins, this time a League Cup quarter-final. With their minds on a possible relegation scrap following a period of poor form Fulham shouldn’t represent too much of a problem tonight. [Famous last words. -- Ed.] The majority of players who [...]
Charlton Curbed
Last year Charlton ruined my Christmas and that of many other Chelsea fans, so yesterday was payback time. I don’t know if the Addicks (what does that mean anyway?) will be complaining about the pitch this year, but it did look as if their defenders were playing on quicksand. Ho ho ho. Before anyone gets [...]
Charlton Athletic v Chelsea
We head to the Valley looking to avenge the embarrassing defeat Charlton inflicted on us on Boxing Day last year. Jose Mourinho will also be looking for a positive response after last weekend’s disappointing draw with Bolton. John Terry, Claude Makelele and Paulo Ferreira are all set to be recalled after being rested for Wednesday’s [...]
Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain
This match represents an early opportunity for us to dispel the gloom caused by Saturday’s disappointing 2-2 draw with Bolton. We’ve already qualified for the next round of this competition so Jose Mourinho will rotate the squad. “I don’t play Peter Cech, I play Carlo Cudicini. I don’t play Paulo Ferreira, I play Glen Johnson. I don’t [...]
Robinho to Chelsea?
Chelsea have confirmed they are willing to pay £14m for Brazil’s latest superstar striker, Santos’ Robson de Souza (aka Robinho), according to The News of the World. The player’s agent, Wagner Rubiero, told the newspaper: “Chelsea are the only team who have confirmed they are prepared to pay £14m. “Robinho is excited at the prospect of the [...]
Play it again, Sam: Chelsea 2 - 2 Bolton
Actually don’t. I’ve no great love for Bolton; they remind me of Martin O’Neill’s Leicester City side of a few years ago — big, raw-boned bruisers whose main ploy is to get in the face of the other team. They play high pressure, physical football and rely on very organised set plays to create chances. [...]
Chelsea v Bolton
Another tough game, this… and one in which we’ll be looking for revenge after a 2-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture last season. Some would say Bolton are overachieving this season — they currently lie fifth in the Premiership — but if you look at their progress under manager Sam Allardyce over recent years then it [...]
Spanish Inquisition
Clearly Luis Aragones is responsible for most of the unpleasantness yesterday in Madrid. All he had to do was apologise for calling Thierry Henry a ‘black b#####d’ and the matter would have been closed. Instead the Spanish manager chose to publicly stoke up hostility against England. The result was that Spanish fans carried on what [...]
Rumour Roundup
In a week featuring yet another pointless England international ‘friendly’, rumours linking us with every ’star’ young player in Europe have been rife. Firstly, Roman Abramovich was spotted on a ’scouting mission’ in Holland on Sunday, with Feyenoord’s 19-year-old Ivory Coast forward Salomon Kalou believed to be the object of his affections. The Daily Mail also has [...]
No Chickens Being Counted
I for one will be genuinely astonished if Chelsea can bring home the title, partly because it’s very tough to do it for the first time (1955? — be serious) and partly because the main opposition is exceptional. The combination of these two factors makes for a formidable barrier. There are three ‘big clubs’ in [...]
