Some sweet records to start with. Jose’s Chelsea has played Fergie’s Man Utd 9 times so far. Jose has won 5 times and drawn 3 times which leaves just 1 win for Fergie. Even better, in all these 9 matches, Chelsea scored 11 goals in all and Man Utd scored only 3 goals, which includes [...]

Big news! Alex gets his work permit. The Chelsea website has also confirmed that he is yet to agree on personal terms and pass a medical at Stamford Bridge. Fair enough. In normal trade parlance, he has effectively joined Chelsea. I don’t see him having any issues at Chelsea over his salary which would surely [...]

Quite a decent win. After a poor first half, Chelsea picked up momentum in the second half and Didier Drogba was there to clean up Brondby. More than anything, at the end of the pre-season friendlies, key players stayed away from injuries as much as possible.

Are you back to your senses after that defeat last week? Cool it. Let’s treat a friendly like one and give it only what it deserves. In our last pre-season friendly, we meet Brondby on Tuesday evening. In other news, even the new french-beard of Benitez has not impressed Jose, and some bits and pieces [...]

We’ve been discussing quite heatedly about Jose Mourinho and Chelsea’s playing style under him. So, I thought I’ll tell you what I feel. Jose has been getting a lot of criticism from various quarters for various reasons. I’d like to analyze to see if he really deserves this amount of criticism. Remember, he’s a darling [...]

First defeat of the season. Luckily for me, the internet stream was so screwed up that I ended up playing Winning Eleven with my mate, after the first half. No one likes to lose but I’m not stupid to get worried for a defeat in a friendly match. With what little I saw and what [...]

John Terry has finally signed a new contract with Chelsea to stay until 2012. After a season where we saw a series of unfortunate events, this season has been very pleasant so far - Roman making peace with Jose, getting very crucial reinforcements, changing the formation and now Terry committing for the next five years.

It’s kinda official. Chelsea are not favourites to win this Premiership. So, with the less spending resulting in less pressure, now the favourites tag is also gone. As per BET365, one of the most popular online betting websites, Man Utd are the favourites to win the title in 07-08.

There are ways of describing this result - from the optimistic ‘we continue our unbeaten streak’ to ‘we were held to a draw’ to ‘once again we couldn’t score more than a goal’. Anyway, we got a good friendly match, we had a very good opposition, who did not surrender and allow us to walk [...]

Chelsea travel to The Netherlands for the friendly against Feyenoord on Wednesday at 18:00 UK. So, they can stop playing soccer and resume their good old football, european style. Feyenoord will be easily the toughest of opponents for Chelsea this month. We’ll talk about this and also I’m sure you want to know how Man [...]

Short post today. Some quick news roundup on how Jose Mourinho wants to change his personality, on what Terry thinks about moving to/playing in USA, why Khalid thinks Jose made a mistake and some ‘positive’ developments at Man Utd, Liverpool & Arsenal. Also, my second thoughts on the LA Galaxy game.

If you wondered why Chelsea flew to the USA for a (world!) series of friendlies, Blue Winner has the answers. No, the answer is not that they can party in the hollywood with Paris Hilton and other babes. Blue Winner makes end to end review of Chelsea’s US tour without talking too much what we [...]
