Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon says three players will leave in the summer - but they will not include Shaun Wright-Phillips or Didier Drogba.
Last weekend’s disappointing FA Cup semi-final defeat will be all but forgotten if we avoid defeat in this game. A draw or better and we will be crowned Champions of England for the second successive year, and become the first London club to win back-to-back Premiership titles.
Of course Manchester United won’t want to be part [...]
Losing to Liverpool is much like a trip to the dentist. Irritating and occasionally painful, but you can take comfort in the knowledge that the experience is over fairly quickly and doesn’t happen that often anyway.
It says much about the power of football that in the 21st century the game has created a new [...]
Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish: “Liverpool and Chelsea are close when they play each other, apart from the 4-1 at Anfield earlier this season, although they lost 2-0 down here [London].”

ZDF, a German public broadcaster, has reported on its website that Bayern Munich’s Michael Ballack has agreed terms on a four-year contract with Chelsea. Ballack has since rubbished the report.
So, one point remains to be made before the club can celebrate back-to-back titles. I’m hoping the game against United in two weeks will see us wrap up the league and allow us to relax – even if NotsoNostradamus Ferguson and his team will be positively itching to ruin the day. However the point being [...]
“Ruthlessness and efficiency guarantee Mourinho trophies but not lasting glory… He is the reason for both their success and their now raging unpopularity”
At this stage, you can’t help but begin to pity James Lawton. How he manages to waddle around with so much anti-Mourinho bile in his system must be the 8th wonder of the [...]
Football as a metaphor for life itself? The traditional Easter story tells us of death and resurrection; as the football season draws to a close those two qualities have been evident in all areas of the beautiful game.
