Premier League: Arsenal 1 - 0 Chelsea
Match reports The Independent, Jason Burt: “Big games define big teams, Arsène Wenger reminded us before this encounter. They also define big players and Chelsea may have to again cope without John Terry after their captain suffered suspected ankle ligament damage in a spiteful challenge by Emmanuel Eboué as his side lost to Arsenal for the [...]
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 [...]
Premiership review: Arsenal 1 - 1 Chelsea
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. That let them come back for a draw despite being down to 10 men for [...]
FA Cup preview: Chelsea v. Tottenham Hotspur
Remember, remember the fifth of November? Four months have passed since that fateful day at White Hart Lane - the day Tottenham finally lifted the hex Chelsea held over them since 1987. No more Three Point Lane taunts. There are no points to play for in this game, just a place in the next round and an [...]
Premiership review: Chelsea 3 - 0 Middlesbrough
Match reports The Observer, Jamie Jackson: “Chelsea won this, their third and final Premiership outing of the month, at a canter. The rest of February consists of a fifth-round FA Cup tie against Blackpool or Norwich, the resumption of their Champions League campaign at Porto, and the Carling Cup final with Arsenal. By the time the [...]
Time for Plan B?
It seems incredible that after two consecutive Premierships, currently in the hunt for a third and alive and well in the Champions League, that anyone should want to doubt Jose Mourinho. But for me at least, the nagging doubts have surfaced. OK, I’m not sure who is really calling the shots at Chelsea these days – [...]
Who wants to jump from their frying pan into our fire?
It’s been a weird month or so for us Chelsea fans hasn’t it? Depending on what your choice of journal from the Fourth Estate is we’ve gone from well run Premiership/FA Cup/Carling Cup/Champions League contenders to a strife torn dysfunctional bunch of headless chickens. We are apparently a club in crisis on and off the [...]
Do players have a right to buy out the last year of their contract?
Now that the transfer window is finally closed, it’s probably the best time to discuss a pertinent issue that has always been interjected into the transfer debate in that period. This is the issue of a player’s right to buy out the last year of his contract. As usual, there are loads of misconceptions involved [...]
Chelsea’s forgotten men
Arjen Robben we know is injured and will be return soon, but what of our other ‘forgotten men’ (not including the man whose job it is to polish the silverware)? Scott Parker Alexy Smertin has been picked ahead of him this season, and I can only guess at how Parker feels about that. I’d say he [...]
Chelsea v Southampton
Kick-off: Saturday, 1 May, 1500 BST So starts another defining week in our history. Last weekend we finally let the Premiership title slip from our weak grasp. Now we’re involved in a fight for second place. Finishing second in the Premiership guarantees passage to the first group stage of the Champions League, so it’s imperative we win tomorrow [...]
