Premier League: Aston Villa 2 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Independent, Sam Wallace: “Fourth place was not exactly what Roman Abramovich had in mind when he agreed with Jose Mourinho that Chelsea needed to reinvent themselves as the Premier League’s most entertaining side. Beaten by Aston Villa yesterday, and with a team struggling to score goals, Mourinho has a lonely week ahead to [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Champions League review: Liverpool 1 - 0 Chelsea (Agg: 1-1, Liverpool win 4-1 on pens)
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “These sides grappled with one another so fiercely that it was as if neither would ever let the other go free to reach the final in Greece on May 23.” The Times, Matt Dickinson: “The idea that his team might be rattled by the raucousness of a febrile occasion had seemed [...]
Champions League review: Chelsea 1 - 0 Liverpool
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “It was a match to make grudges respectable. While Chelsea are out to avenge the loss to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final two years ago, they were measured throughout a victory that makes them favourites to take their place in Athens on May 23. The Stamford Bridge side played [...]
Chelsea v. Liverpool: Pre-match links and quotes
A selection of links and quotes taken from the inordinate number of stories published in the build-up to tonight’s Champions League semi-final. Mourinho v Benitez, BBC Sport: “The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Liverpool will be the 14th time the two sides have met since [Mourinho and Benitez] arrived in England [...]
Champions League review: Valencia 1 - 2 Chelsea (Chelsea win 3 - 2 on agg.)
Match reports The Guardian, Michael Walker: “What happens next at Chelsea is everybody’s guess but if it is change at the top then it will have to be justified and perhaps put on hold. Michael Essien’s last-minute intervention here takes Chelsea to a third European Cup semi-final in four years and for the second time under [...]
Premiership preview: Portsmouth v. Chelsea
Chelsea could go into this game 12 points behind Manchester United. But first Alex Ferguson’s side will have to become the first team to take 3 points off Liverpool at Anfield in 31 games. Much will depend on Rafael Benitez’s starting eleven. With one eye on Tuesday’s game against Barcelona, he could be tempted to rest a [...]
