Premiership: Chelsea 2 - 2 Fulham
Things can only get better in 2007… can’t they? Match reports The Observer, Amy Lawrence: “In stoppage time, with another two points slipping from their grasp, John Terry sat in the dugout and shook his head in thinly disguised dismay. For the second time in five days he has looked on as the kind of defensive shockers [...]
Premiership review: Chelsea 2 - 2 Reading
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “In the festive season of a thousand toasts, the poignant salute at Stamford Bridge yesterday was to absent friends. Chelsea would never have dropped two points had their commanding centre-half, John Terry, been present and the captain’s imminent operation to shave a disc in his back cannot come soon enough. [...]
Premiership preview: Chelsea v. Reading
The second of Chelsea’s four games in ten days sees them take on Reading at Stamford Bridge. Serious injuries to Blues goalkeepers Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini overshadowed the reverse fixture in October. Stephen Hunt’s challenge on Cech divided opinion but the majority felt that he could have avoided leaving Cech with a fractured skull. A hostile atmosphere [...]
Premiership review: Wigan Athletic 2 - 3 Chelsea
Match reports Sunday Telegraph, James Mossop: “On many a Saturday Jose Mourinho becomes the clown with the scowl but here absolute honesty prevailed.

Letter from America: José Mourinho is our prat, God bless him
What is it with José Mourinho bashing? The latest example in our pages is to call him a prat (or rather PRAT) which according to my online dictionary, is “an incompetent, stupid, or foolish person”. I’m not personally acquainted with Mr Mourinho, but simply from observing what he has achieved, both at Chelsea and at [...]
League Cup: Newcastle United 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Tim Rich: “Newcastle’s search for a trophy has come to grief at Chelsea’s hands with what by the Tyne must seem depressingly regular intervals. This was the eighth time in 10 years they had barred Newcastle’s way in cup competitions and only once, when they lost an FA Cup tie in the [...]
League Cup preview: Newcastle United v. Chelsea
Jose Mourinho will rest several players but has told Newcastle not to expect an early Christmas present. Mourinho said: “I’m going to rest some players, that’s obvious. People think we have a massive squad but it is not true. Our squad is very short and at this moment we have some problems. “We have a game [...]
Premiership review: Everton 2-3 Chelsea
First half bad, second half good – this might well be the chanted mantra of the average Chelsea supporting alpha male these days as he tears off more meat with his teeth whilst his wife toils away at the ironing and washing (well maybe that’s just my house on a cold Sunday afternoon when we [...]
