		<title>Return of Essien &#124; Time to say NO to vuvuzelas . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great start to the pre-season, isn&#8217;t it? What better could have happened in this match than Michael Essien scoring a superb goal! It was a good game with an opportunity for most players to get some time on the pitch. While the world cup bunch stayed away, Essien must have been dying to step on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chelsea kick off pre-season against Crystal Palace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The season begins tomorrow. Chelsea will play their first pre-season game against Crystal Palace tomorrow. We are not going to the US this time for the pre-season. This game would be at Selhurst Park, the home of Crystal Palace, right here in London. It&#8217;s good that the players don&#8217;t have to make long travels with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Proper football can resume &#124; Let the transfers begin!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay then, Iker Casillas has lifted the world cup trophy to knock my last piece of prediction. Congratulations to Spain. I feel sorry for the Dutch. They could have won it as well but they didn&#8217;t. I thought it was a very good match. Yes, there were a lot of stoppages and yellow cards but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello all! Quick blog today. The world cup is coming to a fantastic climax after the elimination of the Latin American superpowers both of whom I thought would be the finalists. In good news, Yossi Benayoun signs for Chelsea for which you don&#8217;t see Chelsea fans doing a song and dance about. In bad news, [...]]]></description>

		<title>World Cup 2010 &#8211; Quarterfinals &amp; beyond!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[World cup is beautifully poised, isn&#8217;t it? My predictions have been fairly decent. I&#8217;ve got quite a few things right &#8211; France got eliminated in group league stage, Japan got to the second round ahead of Denmark &#38; Cameroon (one of you said you&#8217;ll eat your hat if this happened), Chile made it to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do or Die (in the hands of Free Press) for England!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Big day ahead! If you read the English press, you might be forced to believe that the England national team is in a massive crisis. There&#8217;s been too much written and said about England&#8217;s performance in the last . . er . . 2 matches. This is not being looked at as two bad matches. [...]]]></description>

		<title>David Silva: &#8220;I could fulfill my ambition at Chelsea&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great news! David Silva wants to be a bluechampion! And he absolutely means it. In this cryptic world of transfer interviews, he&#8217;s come out so openly and clearly that he wants to join Chelsea. In fact, it&#8217;s hard to be more clear than this. This is out on every football website so I hope there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ballack and Joey leave amidst mixed reactions . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For many of us this has come as a news which could be best described as a ‘curate’s egg’. Personally, for me it came as a shock but I knew that it was coming, so at least the shock was minus the surprise factor. News channels are flooded with this topic and it really pains [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is the world cup blog. I can’t still not speak about the world cup. Can I? We’re just 5 day away from the start. With predictions flying everywhere, the injury news keeps changing the odds every single day. I thought I’ll anyway make my predictions &#8211; from the group standings to world champions.

But as a break from the INs and OUTs discussion that is going hot in here, I thought this article would give us a chance to reflect back on the season which brought beer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stand Up For The Fantastic One!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While Chelsea were breaking premier league records this season, there was one record that went unnoticed &#8211; that was the number of times anyone ever used the word ‘fantastic’ in a season. You can’t blame Ancelotti. Given his limited vocabulary in English and the way the season has gone, he had to use it 257 [...]]]></description>
