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 [...]
League Cup Final preview: Chelsea v. Spurs; beware the crazy people…
There must have been a full moon sometime over the last few days. Everywhere you look this week, some very odd things have been happening (snow in Athens?) and there seem to have been hordes of delusional people hogging the headlines. They’ve been prancing merrily around in our calm waters of reason when they should [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
League Cup: Chelsea 4 - 3 Leicester City
Unfortunately we missed this game and had to make do with radio commentary here in England because of a lack of any live television coverage. Leave your good and bad points in the comments.
League Cup: Hull City 0 - 4 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Louise Taylor: “Jose who? Admittedly it was against a Championship side in the Carling Cup but a vibrant Chelsea performance suffused with goals and improvisational attacking suggested that there just might be a life for the Blues post Mr Mourinho after all.” The Times, Matt Hughes: “Avram Grant must have feared being fed [...]
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 Carling Cup: Pensioners outwit kids shocker!
Someone help me out here. I thought us Brits were fond of a good, old-fashioned ‘have-a-go hero’. You know the story; 85 year-old granny with two new hips fights off thugs using hatpin and shopping trolley, that type of thing? Well, now I’m baffled. In Cardiff this weekend, our team of elder statesmen [...]
