It does not need a Jose Mourinho’s team to ‘kill Chelsea’. Barnsley just did it. A very strong Chelsea team were beaten by a team that is 33 places below them. Simple as that. We were just three matches away from defending our trophy. In a matter of few weeks, we are out of both [...]
Our series of easy matches continues. After the match at Upton Park and a surprisingly easy match against Olympiakos, we play Barnsley this evening. Barnsley is in the FA Cup quarterfinals after they eliminated Liverpool at fortress (now, that’s a joke) Anfield. Chelsea has not been an ‘upsettable’ team. Forget an upset, I’m looking for [...]
Frank Lampard scored his 100th Chelsea goal as Chelsea went past Huddersfield Town at Stamford Bridge. After some scare by half time, Chelsea put the game out of Huddersfield’s reach by two second half goals.
Chelsea play a team that is 56 places below them in the league standings. We are almost full strength, with players returning from injuries and African Cup.
The Nicolas Anelka show is what we were waiting for and that’s exactly what we got today! I’m extremely happy about the result. It’s not everytime you win despite being second best! Yes, for great periods of time, Wigan were the better team. Another goal from a lobbed pass (or whatever you want to [...]
We will get to see the electric yellow jersey again as Chelsea gear up for the FA Cup fourth round against Wigan. For many seasons now, the hallmark of Chelsea’s progress in any competition has been the way they brush aside smaller oppositions. While Wigan can fancy an upset against other big teams, Chelsea would [...]
Better not to go to the details. We progress to the next round. Pizarro made a weak shot from just outside the box, which it the woodwork, only to rebound and wobble to the net. Avoidable match.
Gear up for the second local derby in 8 days. After a shaky-start-solid-finish against Fulham last week, Chelsea play QPR for the first time in more than a decade. Such is the gulf between these two sides that they never had to meet in the league and the cup draws also did not pair us. [...]
After all, this has ended up as a good season! Two trophies, runner-up in the league and semifinalists in the champions league. Quite a few milestones in this season - unbeaten in home league matches for three seasons, won all English trophies in a span of three seasons, sixth trophy in three seasons, first English [...]
I’m back! I mean my modem is back! Now I can go to the good ‘old’ days of publishing paragraphs and paragraphs and also the formation, images and videos. I can also read through your comments and views. It’s such a relief! Now that I’m fully empowered I thought I can slightly update the pre-match [...]
Another late goal and another final. I was keen to see the reactions of two people in the Old Trafford stands - Alex Ferguson and Roman Abramovich. While I couldnt see Fergie’s reaction, I did see that Roman was absolutely enjoying our win. All those talks about Roman absenting himself from the Valencia match at [...]
Is this a successful season for Chelsea? We have won the Carling Cup and we are in the semifinals of Champions league and FA Cup. We are just three points off Man Utd in the Premiership with 6 games to go. I’d say this has been a very good season for us even if we [...]
