Premier League: Chelsea 4 - 4 Aston Villa
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The score, with a penalty for the visitors in the last minute, may have been tied up but this was a match in which logic unravelled to joyous effect. Only those with a vested interest can be immune to the delight of such a game. As the sides demolished one [...]
League Cup: Chelsea 2 - 0 Liverpool
I asked a friend who watched the game to sum it up in one sentence. Here’s his somewhat festive response: “You struggled to score against a 10-man Liverpool reserve side; your attack is as toothless as Shane MacGowan.” He also said something about Rafael Benitez being deluded. Nothing gets past him. Nobody was interested in doing a report [...]
Premier League: Arsenal 1 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Independent, Jason Burt: “Big games define big teams, Arsène Wenger reminded us before this encounter. They also define big players and Chelsea may have to again cope without John Terry after their captain suffered suspected ankle ligament damage in a spiteful challenge by Emmanuel Eboué as his side lost to Arsenal for the [...]
Champions League: Chelsea 0 - 0 Valencia
Match reports Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “Chelsea achieved another milestone last night when they extended their unbeaten Stamford Bridge record in all competitions to 50. Already assured of their place in next week’s Champions League knockout draw, and against a sadly inept Valencia showing nothing of their past brilliance, this was a canter and the result [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 2 - 0 Sunderland
Match reports Sunday Times, Brian Glanville: “Chelsea, deprived of Didier Drogba, beat a passive Sunderland team without panache or excessive difficulty.” Independent on Sunday, Nick Townsend: “Ultimately, it was a comfortable enough home victory, though there had been a period after the interval when Sunderland had suggested they may just fashion an equaliser.” Sunday Telegraph, Duncan White: “Rattled [...]
Premier League: Derby County 0 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Jamie Jackson: “Chelsea will take the three easy points from this outing against dire opposition, but will be cursing the straight arm that late substitute Michael Essien offered Kenny Miller in added time. The Ghana midfielder was sent off and Avram Grant faces the loss of a key player for three games. [...]
League Cup: Chelsea 4 - 3 Leicester City
Unfortunately we missed this game and had to make do with radio commentary here in England because of a lack of any live television coverage. Leave your good and bad points in the comments.
Premier League: Chelsea 6 - 0 Manchester City
Match reports Independent on Sunday, Steve Tongue: “A lot of water has flowed under Stamford Bridge since Eriksson took tea with owner Roman Abramovich in the summer of 2003 to discuss becoming manager of Chelsea. Jose Mourinho was given the job and the rest is history; or was until Avram Grant took over eight matches ago. [...]
Champions League: Valencia 1 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “Mourning no longer intruded and Chelsea, just as they did on their previous visit to this stadium, came back to win last night after falling behind. Didier Drogba, the scorer of a fine decider, surpassed himself, but many others also rediscovered misplaced excellence.” Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “For Grant, the game [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 0 - 0 Fulham
Match reports The Observer, Duncan Castles: “You pay off your manager, you make your choice. Grant appears a less intelligent selection by the match. Comprehensively outplayed by Manchester United six days previously, Chelsea contrived to draw with Fulham - a team who had triumphed just once in the Premier League this season and had not won [...]
