Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 1 Bolton Wanderers
Match reports The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: “Any sense of choking anti-climax which might normally have strangled Chelsea appeared to have eased by the time this squad strolled through their post-match lap of honour in the sunshine. The likelihood of their pursuit of Manchester United yielding the Premier League title had always been slim. In the end [...]
Champions League: Chelsea 3 - 2 Liverpool (aet, agg 4 - 3)
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The road to the final against Manchester United in Moscow on May 21 was as long and hard as Chelsea expected. In their third Champions League semi-final against Liverpool since 2005 the Stamford Bridge team have vanquished Rafael Benítez’s side at last.” Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “Frank Lampard last night struck [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 2 - 1 Manchester United
Match reports The Observer, Duncan Castles: “First, let us applaud Chelsea. Victory essential, their long, proud unbeaten home record on the line against a team almost every critic considers superior, and deprived of one of their driving forces by the death of his mother, this was a team that rose to the occasion.” Sunday Times, Joe Lovejoy: [...]
Premier League: Everton 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Andy Hunter: “Michael Essien’s first-half goal brought Chelsea a merited win to move them to within two points of Manchester United, albeit having played a game more, and the resilience that thwarted a late revival from David Moyes’ side gave their manager another statistic to throw at his legion of detractors at [...]
Champions League: Chelsea 2 - 0 Fenerbahce (agg 3 - 2)
Match reports Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “Another year, another semi-final. For the fourth time in five seasons, Chelsea reached the last four of the Champions League and they enjoyed some Turkish delight, albeit with two hardly impressive displays. At least it offers the club another - some would argue, their best - chance to finally claim [...]
Premier League preview: Manchester City v. Chelsea
Well, just three days after an outing to the sun drenched city of Istanbul where our brave/courageous or apathetic/arrogant boys (delete as appropriate) suffered a setback in the Euro Big Cup first quarter-final play-off against Fenn Her Barchy (as spelt in the subtitles I inadvertently activated during the game and couldn’t work out how to [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “Of the many surprises this eventful season, the sight of Avram Grant outwitting Arsene Wenger ranks right up there. Short of Ashley Cole becoming a referee or Didier Drogba surviving a game without medical attention, the season may not produce any greater shocks than Grant getting his substitutions as right [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 6 - 1 Derby County
Match reports The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: “Chelsea found respite in a rout last night. The traumas endured in their FA Cup humiliation at Barnsley were exorcised in part against a hapless Derby County, with Frank Lampard, so conspicuous by his absence at Oakwell, gorging himself on four goals. The irony was that, unlike in South Yorkshire, [...]
Champions League: Chelsea 3 - 0 Olympiakos (agg 3 - 0)
Match reports The Guardian, Stuart James: “It is now 60 matches unbeaten in all competitions for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a record that the Greek champions were never in danger of troubling on an evening when the chasm between the two sides was so great it felt like a trick of the mind that this was [...]
League Cup Final review: Chelsea 1 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur (AET)
Match reports The Times, Martin Samuel: “If this was a triumph for Jonathan Woodgate, Tottenham and Juande Ramos - who has been at White Hart Lane less than four months - it was a catastrophe for Chelsea’s regime under Avram Grant. There was nothing to suggest that Grant has advanced the club one iota since the [...]
