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 [...]
Standing on the edge…
It seems that there is a bit of a game on this evening. Having read some missives from Merseyside, there appears to be something of a North / South divide evident between us. So, just to clarify a few points that I’ve read about us Chelsea fans in recent days. Yes, my real name is Tarquin. [...]
Champions League: Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The roars of the Anfield crowd at the close were solely of defiance. Lesser supporters would have been struck dumb by John Arne Riise’s own-goal equaliser for Chelsea four minutes into stoppage time that, improbably after this showing, makes the visitors favourites to stride on to a Champions League final [...]
Why Avram Grant must go…
I’m not much of an art historian, but had Michelangelo been sacked from the Sistine Chapel gig for being a bit of a prima donna and generally annoying the Catholic hierarchy, I suspect the incumbent Pope wouldn’t have called in Luigi’s Painters and Decorators and asked them to whack a dollop or two of emulsion [...]
Premier League: Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool
Match reports Daily Telegraph, John Ley: “On an afternoon of missed opportunities for both sides, Liverpool can at least take solace from their first point away from home against any other of the Big Four under Rafael Benitez. The Spaniard also reaffirmed his ability to frustrate Chelsea’s ambitions as this draw prevented Avram Grant’s team from [...]
Premier League preview: Chelsea v. Liverpool; thieves in the temple…
It is of course a coincidence that during the week of the Liverpool game, my thoughts have turned to theft and skulduggery. Have you noticed how much pilfering has been going on of late? From the grand level of pinching whereby an insouciant Frenchman seems to have ‘lost’ his employers a few billion Euros, to [...]
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 [...]
Oh, Get a Grip!
I’m not surprised that normal service has resumed in the press over Chelsea as Roman Abramovich’s public show of disaffection with the Villa Park result has seemingly given the rowdy rotters something to bleat about. The muted whispers that greeted the match-day Guardian report that there’s trouble at the club (because Abramovich reportedly chased after [...]
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 [...]
Premier League: Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “The teams could not be prised apart but this was an afternoon when Liverpool’s spirits soared and plummeted. A likely victory was taken from them with the dubious award of a penalty by the referee, Rob Styles, whose form was so poor that he would have been substituted well before [...]
