Champions League preview: FC Barcelona v. Chelsea FC
Tuesday. It must Barcelona then. Some eight hundred miles and several stratospheres in football terms separate the cities of Sheffield and tonight’s destination: while the gung-ho graft of Jagielka and Montgomery presented one kind of test, the guile of Deco and Messi will pose another entirely. Hilario may have made light work [...]
Premiership: Sheffield United 0 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Jamie Jackson: “‘We played last time against Barcelona without two keepers. Maybe on Tuesday we play without any strikers. So I take the bus there,’ joked Jose Mourinho, after what were, ultimately, three regulation points for Chelsea. There are, though, signs that the champions can be worried if a side are willing [...]
Premiership: Sheffield United v. Chelsea
Chelsea play newly promoted Sheffield United at lunchtime today. Jose Mourinho expects United to be tough opponents. “When a team rests 11 players and gives up a competition like the [League] Cup to play against Chelsea it is because they are motivated for this game,” he said. Carlo Cudicini is set to return two weeks after he [...]
League Cup: Kalou scores first Blues goal
Salomon Kalou scored his first goal for the club as Chelsea progressed to the fourth round of the League Cup with a 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers at a wet Ewood Park. Joe Cole, making his first start of the season, opened the scoring on 53 minutes when he turned the ball in from close range [...]

Chelsea 2-1 Portsmouth: Why Chelsea will be the death of me
Last week I ventured off to my local doctor’s surgery for my annual MOT with the clinic nurse. As an asthmatic this involves merely blowing into a contraption that feels like it’s been made by the Blue Peter team from old toilet rolls and Smartie tubes to ensure that I’m still breathing and that my [...]
Goalkeeper Porato on trial
Stephane Porato has been given a trial at the club as Jose Mourinho seeks a third choice goalkeeper following the injury to Petr Cech, who may not play again this season. Former Monaco and Marseille keeper Porato is a free agent. The 33-year-old Frenchman has been without a club since he left Corsican outfit Ajaccio in [...]
Letter from America: Chelsea’s star in the ascendant
I’m a regular reader of the Chelsea Blog - I wait patiently after every game to get the blog team’s views. I live in Portland, Oregon, and though a long time fan, sadly confess to having seen the Blues in the flesh only once since 1975 or thereabouts (in Seattle when they played Celtic a [...]
Premiership: Chelsea 2 - 1 Portsmouth
Match reports The Observer, Amy Lawrence: “Emerging from the considerable shadow cast by Didier Drogba’s excellence this season, Shevchenko eradicated some of the doubts over his condition by giving Chelsea the leg up they needed in a match where they must have wondered how they struggled to knock a hatful past David James.” Sunday Telegraph, Roy Collins: [...]

An FA spokesman said: “We have received a letter and will respond in due course to address their concerns.” A Premier League spokesman added: “We will ask Reading for their observations and the [...]
