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: Sunderland 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Paul Wilson: “This was not the most impressive display from Chelsea - it was a hard-fought win on a bitterly cold afternoon in the north east - but you cannot play Derby every week and you get the same number of points for a single-goal victory as you do for a six-goal [...]
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 [...]
Champions League: Olympiakos 0 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Times, Matt Hughes: “Grant was employed to echo Ruud Gullit by introducing sexy football, but this performance was about as attractive as one of his ill-fitting tracksuits.” The Independent, Jason Burtat: “Chelsea had arrived in Athens in a fierce snowstorm which prevented many of their fans from making it to the game and, although [...]
FA Cup: Wigan Athletic 1 - 2 Chelsea
Match reports The Observer, Paul Wilson: “[A] masterful contribution from Nicolas Anelka, who scored one goal, made another and added some much needed finesse to Chelsea’s workmanlike win.” Sunday Telegraph, William Johnson: “Anelka, predatory in the North West while wearing the colours of Liverpool, Manchester City and Bolton, showed all of the sharpness he displayed as an [...]
FA Cup: Chelsea 1 - 0 Queens Park Rangers
Match reports The Observer, Duncan Castles: “QPR, taken over in September by two Formula One money men and refinanced last month by an Indian billionaire, are on their way back to the top tier of English football. Their half-rebuilt team may still be one of Championship stalwarts and Premier League fringe players, their football not yet [...]
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 [...]
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: Chelsea 1 - 0 West Ham United
Match reports The Observer, Paul Wilson: “Inevitably this west-east London derby was a bad-tempered bearpit, and inevitably it was won for Chelsea by a goal from a former West Ham player.” Sunday Times, Joe Lovejoy: “Chelsea are now unbeaten in their last 70 league matches at Stamford Bridge, and Grant has not been on the losing side [...]
