So it’s Big Phil then. Luiz Felipe Scolari would take charge at Chelsea from 1st July. Allright it’s a great news but was he the best choice available to take Chelsea forward? See I’m absolutely delighted with Scolari’s appointment (after Grant I’d be delighted with anyone’s appointment) but don’t have answers for all my questions!

Is Roman just being ruthless on trophyless performance or he has realised his mistakes? Roman has just disposed off Grant and Ten Cate in the space of a week. Didn't Roman have a plan when he brought Grant and Ten Cate? Weren't they supposed to bring something new to Chelsea? What do these dismissals tell me? I think Roman is slowly but surely getting to know the people around him.

I’ve been gone for a bit. I needed some time to recover after the fiasco in Moscow. I was having a severe depression spell where the only time I could stop thinking about Chelsea losing the European Cup was when I was sleeping. I tried to distance myself as much as I could.

Still no news yet. I’m tired of refreshing the websites every few minutes. We need something to chew until the announcement is made, right? So, here it is. After a post on ‘who do you want’ now let’s talk about ‘what do you want?’. What are your expectations on the new Chelsea manager. What are those things that he should possess?

This is all very surreal. Reports say that Jose Mourinho is one of the managers shortlisted by the Chelsea board. JM now has too many friends at Chelsea including Kenyon and heck, Roman Abramovich! It appears that Roman and Jose are friends again and that could only be a great news for Chelsea!

The official Chelsea website has confirmed that Avram Grant’s contract as manager has been terminated today. Not really a surprise. Very good move by Roman. Hats off to him for sacking his underperforming friend.

Chelsea Football Club has finished the 2007/2008 Premier League season with 85 points and in second place. I think this is a fully deserved second place for the club. You could argue that it was a poetic-justice that we conceded the late goal to Bolton to take us off level with the champions, Manchester United. The fact is simple: we weren't the best team over 38 games.

I thought Jose would be with us at the end of this season. I wasn't wrong. We've got a Jose. Jose Bosingwa that is. FC Porto's official website confirms that the 25-year old right back is pending only medicals at Chelsea. The price is 15.8 million pounds. The news is still not published in the official Chelsea website.

Can the Hammers nick a point against Man Utd today? We know Alan Curbishley is close buddy and he admires Sir Alex and all those pally pally stories. Do you seriously think Curbishley would give it away because above reasons plus that he thinks Man Utd is better deserved to win the title? I don’t [...]

Are we third time lucky? That does not quite explain how we were able to overcome Liverpool this time. If you ask me, what made the difference was that the key players such as Drogba, Lampard and Essien rose to the challenge and were determined not to get eliminated in front of their crowd that has never seen their team in tears, for seasons. I mean those cement sacks!

I did not think Chelsea would be in with a chance for the title with just two matches to go. I thought Man Utd would win it in April. I never thought Avram Grant would manage to pull Chelsea this far. I never thought Grant himself would survive this far. Whether it is because of the players or the squad or bucket loads of good fortune or Grant's genius or whatever, the team managed by Avram Grant is on level points with the leader with two matches to go.

Cristiano Ronaldo has deservedly won the PFA award for the player of the year this season. We already knew that there were no nominations from Chelsea in the shortlist. But I never thought that there won’t be even one Chelsea player in the PFA team of the year!
