PL Preview: Norwich City v. Chelsea

We’re off to Carrow Road tomorrow. My suggestion? Take the morning train.
It’s a fixture that promises to be kind of fascinating. For one, it wasn’t easy at Stamford bridge at the end of August; it sure won’t be easy in Norfolk, either, with Norwich undefeated in four and currently in ninth. Tough sledding. Let’s take [...]

National Lampoon Presents: Chelsea’s Majorca Vacation

Shit’s about to get weird.

‘Twin Beds?! FUCK YEA!!!’

Well then. Looks like Andre’s still got a few surprises up his sleeve. Amidst the clamor of the impending QPR cup tie, JT’s court drama, transfer shenanigans, and the general malaise that has descended upon our club this year, the boss has elected to take the team on [...]

Chelsea 1-0 Sunderland: World’s most glorious assist separates sides in nervy affair

It has indeed happened. We have reached the magical plateau of 40 points, and are thus unlikely to be relegated. Three cheers. As for this fixture, it was a right odd one, with the Chels looking equal parts sterling and benumb, particularly in defense. Chances, there were a fair few for both sides. Still, regardless [...]

FA Cup Preview: Chelsea v. Portsmouth

I awake from a two-day coma, just in time for the magic of the FA Cup. Provided this magic includes Romelu Lukaku – and, of course, Josh McEachran – I’m all in. Bring forth some elaborate illusions at the expense of our third-round opponents, Portsmouth.
Setup, the performance, and the prestige.

Fabulous!
These two clubs have [...]

VIDEO – Terry Might Be Back For FA Cup Match

Chelsea’s second in comand Di Matteo declared that club captain John Terry might be back in time for the FA Cup match they will play against Portsmouth on Sunday.

FA Won’t Punish Racist Email Employee, and Other Thursday Notes

We wanted to talk about stuff that isn’t Luis Suarez. We really, really did. But that didn’t take into account one inescapable fact: Pretty much nobody is talking about Liverpool without also talking about Luis Suarez. So while the FA Cup d…

Terry considering legal advice

John Terry could take legal action after an image which had a very close resemblance to the Blues captain appeared on cigarette packets in India.

Wolverhampton 1-2 Chelsea: Super Frank starts the new year off right

Frank Lampard will grab the headlines. Fernando Torres deserves to share in the spotlight. The maligned striker capped an excellent shift with one more killer pass, this time to Ashley Cole who went on to set up Super Frank for a trademark finish with only minutes to play. I don’t want to wager on just [...]

Chelsea 1-3 Aston Villa: A grand capitulation at the Bridge to close 2011

In a rather poetic – and cruel – twist, Chelsea closed 2011 similar to how they started it, with a shit sandwich of a performance. Against the same club no less.
Should old acquaintance be forgot? Hell yes.

Midfield creativity
Let me first begin this final blog of 2011 (perhaps) with a few words from the heart, [...]

Chelsea Ends Miserable Year

I cannot believe what we witnessed earlier today. It was a very, very disappointing game from the Men In Blue.  Aston Villa came to the Bridge probably seeking a draw and we gifted them a win. They played 10 men behind the ball and pretended that they would not attack us.  We were keeping possession [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v. Aston Villa

Yes.

What: Barclays Premier League, Round 19

Chelsea begin this oh so very festive period by hosting Fulham at the Bridge. This represents the first of three games over eight days, a favorable span – which includes Aston Villa (h) and Wolves (a) – that could go far in [...]

VIDEO – Chelsea Stars Wish Fans A Merry Christmas

Some of Chelsea’s star players took a moment to wish their fans a Merry Christmas ahead of the very tight schedule they will have in this period.

One point lane?

Three-point lane, a degrading term used in bravado over the years by cheeky Chelsea fans to taunt their London rivals Tottenham Hotspurs.

Should Arsenal Sign Former International Full-Back ?

It’s Harry Thompson and he just happens to have the grave misfortune of being a [...]
