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 [...]
Premier League: Manchester United 2 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “Once United had scored, with Carlos Tevez notching his first goal for the club, Chelsea enjoyed no more than a meaningless rally. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side remembered to keep ample numbers behind the ball and spirited breaks by the visitors petered out, with no genuine saves required of Edwin van [...]
The top 50 managers of all time
Matt Dickinson and the football people at The Times should be congratulated for taking football journalism to a new low with their senseless series on “The world’s top 50 footballers”, “The worst 50 footballers”, “50 top football transfers”, “The 50 worst transfers”, “50 most important goals” and “Football’s 50 hardest men”. Now, their latest assault [...]
Community Shield: Chelsea 1 - 1 Manchester United
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “While United, busier in attack, deserved to be victors, they will be conscious, too, that Chelsea’s line-up was a distorted reflection of the prowess that Jose Mourinho can call on when there are fewer problems. Didier Drogba has hurt his knee and, though a scan should confirm that he will [...]
The Mellow Peril
As I heard Jose Mourinho begin to strum the tune to his newly-minted mellow mood, it was no music to my ears. Indeed, I couldn’t help wondering whether he isn’t putting his head too far above the parapet this time to escape unhurt. Of what use is it to announce ahead of a new season [...]
So, how was it for you? The 2006/07 season review
Did the earth move? Was the season lit with fireworks? Did Andriy Shevchenko seduce you with silky skills? Did Didier Drogba’s drive and dynamism send shivers down your spine? Did the essence of Michael Essien send you into a dreamy haze? Or did it seem like the interminable season from hell at times? Did you look [...]
FA Cup Final review: Chelsea 1 - 0 Manchester United
Match reports The Observer, Amy Lawrence: “After 116 minutes of uptight football, Chelsea delivered the FA Cup from the probability of its third consecutive penalty shoot-out. Didier Drogba, having lost out to Cristiano Ronaldo in the personal awards despite an exceptional personal campaign, stole the glory with a typically resilient example of the predator’s arts. A [...]
Premiership review: Chelsea 0 - 0 Manchester United
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “Chelsea had lost their title, but clearly not their determination. Good blood and bad was spilt here. Joe Cole, his cheek cut in pursuit of the ball, even had to change his stained shirt, but the abiding memory was of the ill-will between two teams who fought tooth and nail [...]
Premiership review: Newcastle United 0 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Times, George Caulkin: “United and Chelsea had cause to berate the “cursed North” over the course of the weekend, with Middlesbrough’s gallant draw at Old Trafford on Saturday followed by a fine performance by Newcastle United at St James’ Park. At its conclusion, the race for the Barclays Premiership title remains unaltered, [...]
