Chelsea v Liverpool
No matter which way you look at it events have conspired against us in our last two matches. Ignore rival fans’ and biased hacks’ subjective bile; most just want to see a ‘wounded’ Chelsea in ‘crisis’ suffer further. Nobody seems to want to look at the facts objectively: we lost to Newcastle in the FA [...]
Time for the Players to Stand Up
Since Wednesday night I’ve been hearing this strange noise. It took me a while to identify it but I’ve finally worked out what it is: it’s the sound of hands being rubbed together in glee; the cocky pretenders have been unseated and boy is everyone queuing up to claim their pound of flesh. I’ve rarely seen [...]
Barcelona v Chelsea
I’ll stick my neck on the line: there’s no chance of history repeating itself when we take on Barcelona tonight. (Famous last words.) During the 1999/00 Champions League we took a 3-1 advantage to the Nou Camp and got thrashed 5-1 trying to sit on that lead. This time around we have the benefit of playing the [...]
Mourinho shows his hand
Jose Mourinho has taken the unusual step of naming his starting eleven for tomorrow night’s Champions’ League match against Barcelona at the Nou Camp twenty-four hours earlier than expected. Damien Duff has definitely been ruled out with a knee injury, but both William Gallas and Didier Drogba are fit to play. Duff sustained his knee injury in [...]
Chelsea withdraw Cudicini’s appeal
Chelsea FC have withdrawn Carlo Cudicini’s appeal against his sending-off in the FA Cup tie at Newcastle on Sunday, meaning he’ll definitely miss Sunday’s League Cup final. He was dismissed late in the 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park when he brought down Shola Ameobi just outside his penalty area. Referee Mark Halsey said he had [...]
Newcastle v Chelsea
No game for a week! Something must be wrong… the withdrawal symptoms have started to set in. But at least the squad’s had a reasonable amount of ‘rest’ before their upcoming hectic schedule of three big Cup games in eight days, all of which are likely to define our season. The scheduling of our matches is [...]
Pitch inspection at St James’
Newcastle will hold a pitch inspection at 10:30am today (Sunday), before giving the go-ahead to their match against Chelsea. The game is scheduled to kick off at 4pm, but cold weather and heavy snow overnight has caused concern about the playability of the pitch. Game goes ahead · Update The referee has inspected the St James’ Park pitch [...]
Gudjohnsen arrested for drink-driving
It is being reported by various news agencies that Eidur Gudjohnsen has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. He was stopped in the early hours of Sunday morning on the southbound carriageway of the A3 near Esher in Surrey. Police officers stopped the 26-year-old’s BMW because of the way it was being driven. Gudjohnsen was then breath-tested [...]
Everton v Chelsea
Thankfully, another week of pointless international friendlies has come to an end. Slippery Sven once again proved that he doesn’t know his arse from his elbow (some would say that his off-the-field activities prove this untrue!) and Damien Duff continued to prove what a brilliant player he is by putting in an inspired performance for [...]
Chelsea v Manchester City
We find ourselves in the same situation as Wednesday: we must win this match to maintain our 11 point gap at the top of the table after both Man United and Arsenal won yesterday. Wednesday’s hard-fought victory over an overly aggressive Blackburn came at a price: Arjen Robben, who netted the only goal of the game, [...]
