Everton 1-1 Chelsea: Replay cash gives Roman’s accountant a welcome boost
After the blanket coverage of Chelsea’s financial results (OK, overdraft) and a day of “Isn’t it scandalous?!” style comment from the media and numerous newly created experts on football finance (i.e. anyone with a grudge and a calculator), it was a welcome relief to sit back and contemplate that most basic of football pleasures; the [...]

Everton v Chelsea
The FA Cup is the only domestic trophy Jose Mourinho’s yet to win. The club won the last Wembley final back in 2000 and I’m sure Mourinho has it in his mind to win the first final at the new Wembley come May — Australian builders permitting. An in-form Everton block the path to the next [...]

Apparently 62 points from a possible 69 is akin to [...]
Chelsea 1-1 Charlton: Blues drop seven points from sixty-nine shocker!
The arrival of a whale in West London caused something of a stir over the weekend; possibly a pre-ordered buffet for all the Japanese tourists at Stamford Bridge, as one wag suggested to me. But after our third encounter with them this season, Charlton’s trip down the Thames proved rather more successful than that [...]
Chelsea v Charlton Athletic
A chance to put even more pressure on the chasing duo of Liverpool and Manchester United, who kick-off their match almost immediately after this one finishes. A win and our lead will be stretched to 19 points, albeit temporarily. Charlton’s last visit to the Bridge in the Premiership will be remembered for two reasons: the previously [...]
