Chelsea Credit Card Betfair
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: Blackburn Rovers 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Times, Matt Hughes: “If he could bring himself to tune into a freezing English winter from the sunshine in Setúbal, even José Mourinho would have been impressed with the resilience that Chelsea showed in holding out for three points against Blackburn Rovers yesterday. However, they will need even more fortitude in the coming [...]
Unbeaten pre-season run comes to an end at Ibrox
Chelsea lost their unbeaten record in pre-season yesterday afternoon when they went down 2-0 to Rangers at Ibrox. Nacho Novo struck from 20 yards on 86 minutes, and Filip Sebo made sure of the win just a minute later when his shot from a similar range deflected off Ricardo Carvalho and looped over substitute goalkeeper [...]
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 [...]
The Ghosts of Christmas Past: The Chelsea Christmas Review
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 [...]
Premiership preview: Wigan Athletic v. Chelsea
In recent seasons the busy Christmas schedule has proved particularly fruitful for Chelsea. Since Jose Mourinho’s arrival in 2004, the Blues have taken maximum points in all of their holiday fixtures. The current campaign’s festive feast of football kicks off with a difficult away game against Wigan Athletic. Last season’s trip to the JJB Stadium saw [...]
League Cup: Newcastle United 0 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Tim Rich: “Newcastle’s search for a trophy has come to grief at Chelsea’s hands with what by the Tyne must seem depressingly regular intervals. This was the eighth time in 10 years they had barred Newcastle’s way in cup competitions and only once, when they lost an FA Cup tie in the [...]
Premiership: Everton 2-3 Chelsea
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Clive Tyldesley: “Functional? Effective? Boring even? Not a bit of it. Chelsea’s true champion pedigree was underlined by moments of rare brilliance and beauty in a stunning success at Goodison Park. Trailing 2-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining, they turned a damaging defeat into what could prove to be a pivotal [...]
Premiership preview: Everton v. Chelsea
Chelsea have an opportunity to put some pressure on Manchester United, who play struggling West Ham at Upton Park later this afternoon. Will fortune favour new Hammers manager Alan Curbishley? Let’s hope so. Jose Mourinho is still without Carlo Cudicini who hasn’t fully recovered from a strained leg muscle, so Henrique Hilario is likely to continue [...]
Letter from America: Can it get any worse?
For a while, Chelsea seemed to be out of favour with Fox Sports so that for some weeks they hardly figured at all. In the last couple of weeks, however, things have improved, at least in this respect. I have been able to watch all of Chelsea’s recent Premiership games, starting with that against Manchester [...]
