Match reports The Observer, Stuart Barnes: “After the Boxing Day goalfest against Aston Villa, Avram Grant’s side had lived on the edge again. Another draw would have been damaging to their chances of making up ground in the title race. Instead, this result, coupled with Manchester United’s defeat at West Ham, means they retain a strong [...]
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.
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 [...]
Match reports Daily Telegraph, Henry Winter: “Chelsea had lost their title, but clearly not their determination. Good blood and bad was spilt here. Joe Cole, his cheek cut in pursuit of the ball, even had to change his stained shirt, but the abiding memory was of the ill-will between two teams who fought tooth and nail [...]
Match reports The Guardian, Kevin McCarra: “Who would have thought that Chelsea could turn themselves into gallant losers? If a third consecutive Premiership title was to be denied the Stamford Bridge side, they failed with a show of strength and talent.

Match reports The Guardian, Richard Williams: “Roman Abramovich stayed away from this one, preferring to spend the weekend watching teams from Israel, Russia and Ukraine compete in a friendly tournament mounted with his money.

Match reports The Guardian, Jon Brodkin: “Never mind that Chelsea remain overwhelming favourites to reach the Carling Cup final. Being held at Wycombe last night was the latest confirmation of their dwindling powers and this was no lucky outcome for the League Two side. Jose Mourinho’s team were second best for most of this game and [...]
For the second time in five days Chelsea play League Two opposition in a domestic cup game. Having swept aside Macclesfield Town in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday, the Blues travel to Adams Park to play fellow League Two outfit Wycombe Wanderers in the League Cup semi-final first leg. With Tottenham playing Arsenal [...]
Match reports The Observer, Anna Kessel: “Six-one, what a washout - or so you might think. Second from top versus second from bottom in the entire league: really, you had to be there. Andriy Shevchenko battling with the defenders of Macclesfield Town was in itself a marvel - a year ago you couldn’t have made it [...]
Chelsea are set to clinch the signature of rising Swiss star Jonas Elmer from Grasshopper Zurich. Elmer caught the eye of Chelsea’s scouting network during last month’s European Under-17 Championship in Italy where Switzerland lost in the group phase. The 17-year-old left-sided player was due to undergo a medical at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday before agreeing personal [...]
