Rant Box: Tottenham Hotspur v. Chelsea

We’ll touch on the latest news surrounding John Terry’s current predicament very soon. For now, though, we focus on the massive contest at White Hart Lane. I don’t think I’m overstating when I say this is going to be kind of epic.

According to the latest reports coming out of West London, Chelsea have been given the green signal by Bolton Wanderers to prepare a bid for Gary Cahill in the upcoming January transfer window. The fee agreed by both clubs is in the range of £ 5-7 mil…

‘Tis the season, for snatching a stocking full of points at White Hart Lane.

Hey, it’s that guy
Man. This is kind of big, huh?
Win, lose or draw in Wigan over the weekend, this match with Tottenham was always going to be a pivotal one. Not that matches with Spurs aren’t always showcase events, but this [...]

Terry will supposedly be fit for Spurs despite training injury

England’s Brave John Terry limped out of today’s public training session with what looked to have been a serious injury to his ankle. Thankfully, this appears to be a case of looking worse than it actually was.

Terry apparently suffered a tweak to his Achilles tendon when blocking a shot during the session. According to [...]

Wigan 1-1 Chelsea: Flaccid overall display fails to deliver

Some would call it robbery, a late Jordi Gomez goal denying Chelsea a fourth consecutive victory on Saturday at the DW Stadium. However, robbery would imply that the visitors actually deserved to win. That, my friends, was hardly the case.

Dejection
What is it with this team? Just when you think they are finally finding themselves, something [...]

Chelsea 2-1 Manchester City: Super Frank caps super comeback

Not too bad a game at the Bridge today. Good fare I say.

Bench? Please.
Yeah, that was fucking awesome. Anyone else in need of a new set of vocal chords after that final 30 or so minutes? I sound like Emma Stone right now, and that’s not sweet. Not at all.

PL Preview: Chelsea v. Manchester City

As a player, you have respect for Barcelona but you never have fear. You have to plan for a good game against them and to try to cause them problems. So no, we do not have any fear of Manchester City, especially because we’re playing at home in this match but we do have the [...]

VIDEO – Villas-Boas And Drogba After Chelsea Win Against Valencia

Chelsea’s manager and veteran players Didier Drogba and John Terry spoke after the massive win they managed to get against Valencia and after they succeeded to snatch the qualification.

Chelsea 3-0 Valencia: AVB gets it right, Didier gets it done

Anxiety? Not needed.
A pulsating showcase, carefully imagined by Andre Villas-Boas and anchored by the irresistible Didier Drogba, sees our beloved Chelsea into the knockout stages of the Champions League once again. As group winners, too, no less. This, my friends, was a night to cherish.

Happiness is a warm brace
What to say, what to say.

MotM Poll: Newcastle 0-3 Chelsea

Chelsea score a vital three points away to Newcastle in a match that was, well, fucking insane. I mean, Salomon Kalou played – clearly at the suggestion of Devin – and even contrived to score the pivotal second. Yes, it was that bizarre of a day.

Um, yeah. I really don’t know what [...]

Chelsea win a match. The NBA lockout comes to an end. Could this day get much better?

Whatever the hell you think is going on at Chelsea right now, whatever you think the club is mired in – A Carlo-esque bad moment, crisis, et al. – it doesn’t matter. What we all can agree on is that anything less than a win this weekend at home to Wolves is going to see [...]

Chelsea vs Wolves – Preview

Andre Villa-Boas is under pressure and in need of a win but has come out and told the press he does not need any help doing his job.

Beware of the Wolves

After another disappointing result on Wednesday evening, the pressure on Andre Villas-Boas’ shoulders seems to be reaching new heights, and the cry’s to end this attacking philosophy resound even louder.

Just Look at His Face! Tenuous Lookalikes #1 John Terry

Lookalikes are hilarious. I think we can all agree on that. Here’s professional footballer/scoundrel, John Terry, looking exactly like a blob fish, the most miserable fish in the sea. You heard me. Exactly.
