Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 0 Portsmouth
Apologies: links to match reports and video highlights only I’m afraid. Jonathan and I missed the game, and it’s difficult to give opinions based on ten minutes of highlights and goal videos. Comments welcome as usual.
Spoilt fans and reality check
I know this is the silly season, but never would I have thought that any Chelsea fan with a genuine sense of history would let its silliness infect them. Some of the most irresponsible comments anyone can make against the club are now being spouted by supposed fans, who, deluded in the comfortable knowledge that [...]
Chelsea as the bogeyman
Am I the only one scratching my head over this Juande-Ramos-to-Chelsea-if-something-happens-with-Jose-Mourinho story? Guillem Balague of Sky Sports claims Fabio Capello told Ramos at a meeting in Madrid a few days ago that he has friends at Chelsea who “think the world of him” and who are lining him up to replace Mourinho if the latter, [...]
It WAS a penalty (in the eyes of the referee…)
Just when you thought you’d seen it all in football, something new comes along to shock you to your very core. Something so foul and rotten, it makes the stench of Jade Goody’s perfume range seem almost pleasant. A football team have had a rather dodgy penalty awarded against them. I’m waiting for Parliament to be [...]
Premier League: Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The teams could not be prised apart but this was an afternoon when Liverpool’s spirits soared and plummeted. A likely victory was taken from them with the dubious award of a penalty by the referee, Rob Styles, whose form was so poor that he would have been substituted well before [...]
Rafa still beneath us
While I’ve since accepted that tight-assed Rafael Benitez speaking beneath himself is now standard fare in any Liverpool versus Chelsea encounter of whatever shade these past few seasons, his continued singsong about Chelsea’s dollar this time around (after all that has gone on at Anfield during this transfer window), I think, borders on chronic amnesia. [...]
What happened to the beast?
As a contributor who always saw beauty in the so-called beast of last season’s Chelsea, I’m enjoying the beauty in the new so-called beautiful Chelsea. But I don’t think we’ve seen the last of our beastly nature, not if we are going to win the Champions League this year. Which the signs indicate is our [...]
Premier League: Reading 1 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Independent, Conrad Leach: “It usually takes decades to build up an enmity on the scale that now exists between these two teams, but in their case it only took one match. That was last October, when Stephen Hunt accidentally collided with Petr Cech, his knee hitting the Chelsea goalkeeper in the head. It [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 3 - 2 Birmingham City
Match reports The Times, Russell Kempson: “It was not quite thrill-a-minute - Mourinho could never be accused of throwing caution completely to the wind - and Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea owner, was pictured gloomily resting his chin in his hands near the end. Yet if this is the way forward for Chelsea, with Mourinho’s midfield diamond [...]
