Chelsea Credit Card Betfair
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 [...]
League Cup: Everton 0 - 1 Chelsea (1 - 3 agg)
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Tim Rich: “Avram Grant’s attempt to convince the world that Chelsea were not especially bothered by the Carling Cup sounded false from the moment it left his lips. Not since Don Revie constructed his all-white machine at Leeds has there been a club who have set out so remorselessly to win everything. [...]
League Cup preview: Everton v. Chelsea
If a week is a long time in politics, then three months in football is surely an eternity (including tea breaks). Back in September, Jose departed the Bridge after a lover’s tiff too many with Roman and a new sheriff that no-one really wanted arrived in town. Avram Grant’s appointment was generally greeted with the [...]
League Cup: Chelsea 2 - 1 Everton
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “After Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ayegbeni Yakubu had exchanged fine goals, this semi-final first leg appeared destined for a draw. But under pressure from the outstanding Wright-Phillips, Lescott headed into his own net and Chelsea, who had lost John Obi Mikel to a red card, celebrated as if they had won [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 1 - 1 Everton
Match reports The Independent, Sam Wallace: “Delivering exciting football, as Avram Grant is discovering, is a splendid idea as long as you make sure your team win the game too. Chelsea’s excitement factor was waning considerably yesterday when Tim Cahill’s overhead kick levelled the score in the last minute and made the home side wish they [...]
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 [...]
Premiership review: Chelsea 1 - 1 Everton
Match reports The Times, Matt Hughes: “Mourinho rested Ashley Cole, Michael Essien and Claude Makelele and was fortunate to keep an unbeaten home league record stretching back to FC Porto’s defeat by Beira Mar five years ago. In doing so, Chelsea equalled Liverpool’s record of 63 top-flight matches at home without defeat, although a more telling [...]
Goal of the Season
The official club website has opened the voting for Chelsea fans to select the 2006/7 Goal of the Season. To refresh memories I’ve crawled YouTube for videos of the short-listed goals and posted them below. Enjoy.
Letter from America: José Mourinho is our prat, God bless him
What is it with José Mourinho bashing? The latest example in our pages is to call him a prat (or rather PRAT) which according to my online dictionary, is “an incompetent, stupid, or foolish person”. I’m not personally acquainted with Mr Mourinho, but simply from observing what he has achieved, both at Chelsea and at [...]
League Cup preview: Newcastle United v. Chelsea
Jose Mourinho will rest several players but has told Newcastle not to expect an early Christmas present. Mourinho said: “I’m going to rest some players, that’s obvious. People think we have a massive squad but it is not true. Our squad is very short and at this moment we have some problems. “We have a game [...]
