Premiership: Bolton Wanderers 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Times, Matt Dickinson: “It says everything about Chelsea’s strengths that they actually enjoy their visits to the Reebok Stadium, a ground where the contest is never less than physically intense. This was their third successive triumph here under José Mourinho, and it left the Portuguese expressing delight at his side’s position in the [...]
Premiership preview: Bolton Wanderers v. Chelsea
Chelsea sealed the 2004/5 Premiership title at the Reebok Stadium and won there again in April, and Jose Mourinho is looking forward to returning once more. “It is a very difficult game because Bolton will have a big boost to their morale after beating Arsenal,” Mourinho said. “But I can say it is my pitch, because [...]
Premiership: Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “This was a good point for Chelsea, one they are convinced will be a turning point in the title race. All draws are equal, but some are more equal than others. Chelsea left Old Trafford last night with a smile and a belief that they can keep the title at the [...]
Premiership preview: Manchester United v. Chelsea
A great deal of tosh has been uttered, written, printed and blogged in the build-up to this game. You could understand the hype if it was the last game of the season, a title decider like 1989’s Liverpool versus Arsenal clash at Anfield, but this is a game in late November, after which there is another [...]

Champions League: Werder Bremen 1 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Jon Brodkin: “Chelsea went to Old Trafford last season on the back of a Champions League defeat and lost, and will hope this was not a similar omen. They had the chances to at least draw this match but were neither at their most creative or slick.” The Times, Matt Hughes: “Despite having [...]
Champions League preview: Werder Bremen v. Chelsea
Jose Mourinho has taken just 16 outfield players to Germany. Missing from the squad are suspended Frank Lampard, Ricardo Carvalho who suffered a twisted ankle against West Ham on Saturday, Salomon Kalou who is still recovering from a knee injury picked up in training, and Wayne Bridge whose wife is expecting a baby. Mourinho took the unusual [...]
Premiership: Chelsea 1-0 West Ham
Match reports The Guardian, Jon Brodkin: “Chelsea beating West Ham did not even register on the Richter scale. Mourinho’s players will need to raise their level in Bremen and Manchester but it felt as though they would have stepped up a gear had West Ham equalised Geremi’s nicely curled free-kick.” Daily Telegraph, Clive Tyldesley: “Both of the [...]
Premiership preview: Chelsea v. West Ham United
Struggling West Ham are today’s visitors to Stamford Bridge. Jose Mourinho has no new injury problems to contend with. Carlo Cudicini will keep his place in goal, while John Obi Mikel is expected to figure for first time since he was sent off against Reading last month after apologising for his errant behaviour. Meanwhile Joe Cole, one [...]
Make up your own mind
It took a bit of time but the few Spurs supporters I am able to call friends have finally succumbed to what must have been an unbearable temptation and started crowing about last week’s result. I know, I know, we’ve moved on. But it got me thinking again about this universal antipathy to [...]
