Match reports Independent on Sunday, Nick Townsend: “After a match comfortably won with goals in each half, from Juliano Belletti and Wright-Phillips, who is thriving in a more central midfield role, no one should rule out Chelsea’s claim to the championship.” Sunday Telegraph, Patrick Barclay: “In attack … Grant had devised an interesting formation which was almost [...]
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 [...]
Match reports The Observer, Stuart Barnes: “Jose Mourinho has enjoyed the luxury of free-scoring performances in three home league games against Blackburn during his stewardship at Stamford Bridge. Not so this time. The Chelsea manager was left frustrated by his side’s failure to win a game they dominated for long spells and angry that what he [...]
The recent defeat to Aston Villa has added extra spice to our next Premier League game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, kick-off 5:15pm. Much was made of our lack of creativity at Villa Park - as it was of Roman Abramovich’s early departure from the directors’ box. With a home record of sixty-six games unbeaten to [...]
Question: What’s the difference between Bob Crow and Roman Abramovich? Answer: One is a twat whose delight in walking out pointlessly irritated thousands, the other is a man whose walkout delighted thousands of irritating, pointless twats. No - don’t leave yet, I haven’t finished. Alright, maybe I shouldn’t quit the day job.
I’m not surprised that normal service has resumed in the press over Chelsea as Roman Abramovich’s public show of disaffection with the Villa Park result has seemingly given the rowdy rotters something to bleat about. The muted whispers that greeted the match-day Guardian report that there’s trouble at the club (because Abramovich reportedly chased after [...]
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 [...]
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “The club of jaw-jaw have become the club of draw-draw and none of those publicly upbraided by Mourinho over the weekend, namely Salomon Kalou, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Andrei Shevchenko, redeemed themselves here. The galvanising presence of John Terry and penetrative wing-play of Arjen Robben cannot be restored quickly enough; Chelsea [...]
Remember the good old days? Remember the two consecutive seasons that we actually went through Christmas unscathed? Maximum points anyone? Of course you do because they were the last two glorious years. Prior to these two glorious years, no matter who was at the reigns we would all rush headlong into the Christmas period blinded by [...]
Manchester United extended their lead by just one point yesterday. It goes without saying that it is imperative Chelsea win this game in hand and cut United’s advantage to four points. After Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham, Jose Mourinho publicly named several players who he felt had underperformed in recent weeks. Paulo Ferreira, Andriy Shevchenko, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Salomon [...]
