Ashley Cole: Mental Toughness

Arsene Wenger reckons that 90% of elite-level football is mental. If that’s the case, the only way to hack it at the top is to make yourself mentally impregnable.

Do you agree Premier League harder than Champions League?

With tonight’s Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge against Genk, and with Chelsea hitting form under AVB, there are obvious questions being asked of the players. One player in particular was asked about winning the Champions League but stated that …

Ashley Cole’s new contract?

I posted the other week about some of our unsung hero’s that don’t make many headlines on the football pitch. One was Ramires as we all know how well he has been playing this season, the other was Ashley Cole who has been outstanding for us this season…

CHELSEA’S UNSUNG HERO’S : ASHLEY COLE.

Ask a football fan what he thinks of Ashley Cole and you would have to agree that the majority of opinion would be based on what he does outside of Chelsea away from the football pitch and wouldn’t be complimentary to say the least. However, it’s what …

Who Would Be In Your All-Time Bitchy XI?

One of the criticisms of modern-day footballers has been that they have too much ‘power’ in the dressing-room thesedays and that at times they can be gobby, self-minded and money-driven individuals.

Our biggest test of the Champions League group stage arrives Wednesday in the form of a trip to the Estadio Mestalla. Valencia not only bring forth a heavy test for the Chels, but they also eagerly await the return of a departed son.

Why Chicharito’s Finding Out That The League Bites Back

MotM Poll: Chelsea 4-1 Swansea City

Fernando Torres loses his fucking mind. Chelsea, meanwhile, don’t miss a beat.

God dammit, Fernando
The Chels slash four past Swansea at the Bridge despite playing with ten men for the better part of 50 minutes. It was pretty much an excellent performance aside from the wretchedness that was Torres’ fist-half, studs-up lunge on Mark Gower [...]

Video: Come on, Fergie

I respect Sir Alex Ferguson. He’s a legend in this beautiful game. Fergie does, however, suffer from a rather irritable case of selective memory loss.

Example of a poor tackle
Ferguson went on the offensive yesterday afternoon with regard to his young, electric Mexican. Smallish Pea was scissored by Ashley Cole in a ridiculously late challenge [...]
