Champions League: Chelsea 3 - 2 Liverpool (aet, agg 4 - 3)
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The road to the final against Manchester United in Moscow on May 21 was as long and hard as Chelsea expected. In their third Champions League semi-final against Liverpool since 2005 the Stamford Bridge team have vanquished Rafael Benítez’s side at last.” Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “Frank Lampard last night struck [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 2 - 1 Manchester United
Match reports The Observer, Duncan Castles: “First, let us applaud Chelsea. Victory essential, their long, proud unbeaten home record on the line against a team almost every critic considers superior, and deprived of one of their driving forces by the death of his mother, this was a team that rose to the occasion.” Sunday Times, Joe Lovejoy: [...]
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 [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 6 - 1 Derby County
Match reports The Guardian, Dominic Fifield: “Chelsea found respite in a rout last night. The traumas endured in their FA Cup humiliation at Barnsley were exorcised in part against a hapless Derby County, with Frank Lampard, so conspicuous by his absence at Oakwell, gorging himself on four goals. The irony was that, unlike in South Yorkshire, [...]
Premier League: West Ham United 0 - 4 Chelsea
Match reports Sunday Times: “Three goals up within 22 minutes, reduced to 10 men after 34, Chelsea rose from the ashes of their Carling Cup final defeat to crush a disorganised West Ham.” The Observer, Duncan Castles: “Grant’s first Premier League victory since January keeps his team nominally in contention for the title and may go some [...]
FA Cup: Chelsea 3 - 1 Huddersfield Town
Match reports Independent on Sunday, Ronald Atkin: “Though they duly headed back north empty-handed, Huddersfield, players and supporters alike, had the traditional grand day out in London beloved of FA Cup minnows and for a gloriously unbelievable quarter of an hour at the start of the second half, were actually holding the world’s richest team 1-1. [...]
FA Cup preview: Wigan Athletic v. Chelsea
The Premier League interlude continues this weekend with our second cup game of the week after the excellent victory over Everton on Wednesday that sees us back at Wembley for the third time since it re-opened. Get used to it because I have a feeling the next few years might see us building a nearby [...]
Premier League preview: Birmingham City v. Chelsea
This weekend sees us visit St. Andrews for the first time in two years to play the other team that likes to call itself The Blues. For those with short memories, Birmingham City were our first game of this so far very interesting season. We won 3-2 on that day back in August and all [...]
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 [...]
