Premiership preview: Chelsea v. Blackburn Rovers
A resurgent Chelsea return to Premiership action after easy wins in the League Cup and FA Cup respectively. The Blues’ revival will be tested to the full by an in-form Blackburn Rovers side. Jose Mourinho is set to recall Michael Ballack and Claude Makelele after both missed the win over Nottingham Forest. John Terry isn’t ready to make [...]
FA Cup review: Chelsea 3 - 0 Nottingham Forest
Match reports The Guardian, Richard Williams: “Roman Abramovich stayed away from this one, preferring to spend the weekend watching teams from Israel, Russia and Ukraine compete in a friendly tournament mounted with his money. Maybe he knows more about football than we think. Back in west London there was nothing of significance to be learnt from [...]
FA Cup preview: Chelsea v. Nottingham Forest
Former European Cup winners Nottingham Forest visit Stamford Bridge for a fourth round FA Cup tie, Chelsea’s second cup game in five days. Tuesday’s League Cup semi-final second leg win over Wycombe Wanderers lifted players and fans alike. News that John Terry is fit again after a prolonged spell on the sidelines will raise hopes of a [...]
League Cup review: Chelsea 4 - 0 Wycombe Wanderers (Agg: 5 - 1) (includes video)
Match reports The Guardian, Simon Burnton: “These have been a testing few weeks for Chelsea but, although they have been humbled enough of late, they were not to be humiliated. Wycombe might have beaten Fulham and Charlton on their way to the semi-finals but the Premiership champions were too good for them last night in a [...]
League Cup preview: Chelsea v. Wycombe Wanderers
League Two’s Wycombe Wanderers stand in the way of Jose Mourinho reaching his second League Cup final in three years. Wycombe punched above their weight in the first leg at Adams Park and took advantage of a makeshift Chelsea side and a poor performance to seal a 1-1 draw. Mourinho’s injury problems haven’t eased in the subsequent [...]
Time for Plan B?
It seems incredible that after two consecutive Premierships, currently in the hunt for a third and alive and well in the Champions League, that anyone should want to doubt Jose Mourinho. But for me at least, the nagging doubts have surfaced. OK, I’m not sure who is really calling the shots at Chelsea these days – [...]
God answers Mourinho’s prayers!
As hordes of Chelsea fans wept into their beer after our dire Anfield outing, Mourinho mumbled his prayer into the microphone: “Please God, let Manchester United falter tomorrow”. Prayer granted, still six points behind, but the worst is averted and the best is yet to come! Of course, the Anfield result was bad, but we were [...]
Premiership review: Liverpool 2 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports Independent on Sunday, Steve Tongue: “In 100 Premiership matches, Jose Mourinho has been beaten only nine times, but never can he have approached a game with such resignation as yesterday. The defeatism apparent once he lost a third central defender in Ricardo Carvalho to a virus overnight must surely have spread to his players, [...]
Premiership preview: Liverpool v. Chelsea
Former prime minister Harold Wilson once said, “A week is a long time in politics.” Indeed, as we have seen with Chelsea’s current political wranglings, much can change in seven days. Prior to last weekend’s trouncing of Wigan at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho declared his love for Chelsea after numerous newspaper reports told of internal disputes; post [...]
Who wants to jump from their frying pan into our fire?
It’s been a weird month or so for us Chelsea fans hasn’t it? Depending on what your choice of journal from the Fourth Estate is we’ve gone from well run Premiership/FA Cup/Carling Cup/Champions League contenders to a strife torn dysfunctional bunch of headless chickens. We are apparently a club in crisis on and off the [...]
