Football at the moment is about money isn’t it. All we are reading and hearing about at the moment is either player salaries or the size of transfer fee’s. Chelsea are now a club that is constantly linked with big money moves in EVERY transfer window a…
Norwich v Chelsea – Who plays?
It’s a simple question but with a difficult answer. With a chance to close the gap on City, United and Spurs, Chelsea travel to Carrow Road in Saturday’s lunchtime kick off. With three players added to the fold and in contention to start the question i…
Transfer Shopping From Home
It’s been a strange week at Tottenham. No midweek match no imminent transfer news and probably most odd and peculiar for any given week, no ramblings from Harry. Perhaps all that wining and dining down on the French Mediterranean has taken its toll. As a consequence there has been little for me to get my … Continue reading »
The changing faces of Chelsea’s core.
With the signing of Gary Cahill, it seems to me that slowly but surely, Chelsea are rebuilding the core of our side. For years, the core of the team has been Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba and we have seen them lead the side to …
Cannon Fodder : Cross Roads
Tweet What is it that defines winners? Is it an abundance of talent? Is it the much talked about ‘siege mentality’ combined with a team’s solidarity? Or is it killer instinct? Ask any successful manager and you’ll receive myriad responses…
OPINION: What’s Chelsea’s strongest back four?
With the news that Gary Cahill has finally signed for Chelsea and after already asking you guys what the signing of Cahill means for the likes of David Luiz, I am wondering what you the Chelsea fans believe is now our best starting back four. It’s impo…
A Window of Hope
It was brought to my attention yesterday that the January transfer window has now reached its halfway point. To date, the club has announced the signing of Iago Falque from Juventus, making his loan deal permanent after some encouraging performances in the Europa League this season. Falque’s first task on signing was to pack his … Continue reading »
TORRES: "Sometimes I think he makes it difficult for himself".
Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola featured on Skysports’ Goals on Sunday programme yesterday after sitting in the stands for Chelsea v Sunderland at the Bridge. He was asked for his opinion with the situation with Fernando Torres and his lack of goals at …
The Wolves keep Spurs from the door
Wolves have got one over on us again. For the second time in three seasons at the Lane, Mick McCarthy’s men have left our fortress with a result. The 1-1 home draw is certainly going to cool the title talk somewhat going into the Man City match. More…
Areas to improve
For those who feel we have a real fighting chance at the title this season, and I’m thinking of the media glory hunters rather than Spurs fans themselves, who are understandably cautious and disinclined to openly boast of the club’s chances…
Abramovich orders change – the days of BIG contracts are over.
Let’s be honest here, and I have said it before, the whole situation with the transfer saga of Gary Cahill has us all wondering what the hold up could be. I cannot remember Chelsea agreeing a fee with a club and then literally taking weeks to conclude …
Chelsea v Sunderland: Who plays?.
The result last night has really put the cat amongst the pigeons with Chelsea now sitting eight points behind Tottenham in the Premier League. The remit for Saturday’s game now is simple, we have to win and get the three points and the performance does…

Cannon Fodder: Change
TweetGreetings Gunners and clowns who support other teams !!!!!! The idea for today’s blog is a tad old, it was a notion that occurred to me a few weeks back and just lodged in my head and I was more than a little tempted to sit down and bang out…
Who is the second signing AVB is talking about?
So AVB speaks of Cahill and one possible other signing, dependant on value for money in this window which leads me to ask “Who is the second signing?”. You do have to wonder who it would be coming into the club as we have to consider the players who ar…
The night we level it all up (in terms of games played anyway)
Wednesday night at White Hart Lane is when we level it all out and get a true picture of just where we stand. Since the opening day of the season when the locals gave fuel to new songs for our opposing fans, we have been playing catch up. Well no longe…
What does Cahill’s arrival mean for David Luiz at Chelsea?
After reading (and posting) that Gary Cahill is about to sign for Chelsea and is rumoured to have asked for assurances of first team football at Chelsea ahead of Euro 2012, I just wonder what it means for David Luiz. The more I think about it, the more…
Chelsea v Portsmouth: Who should start for Chelsea?
It’s a simple question but there could be so many answers. Chelsea could do with another win but with the busy festive period only just finished, I wonder if AVB will rotate the side and bring in some of the fringe players and some youngsters?This is a…
Spurs: Half-term reports
So, 19 games played and we sit third in the table with our best points tally, at this stage, since the legendary 60-61 season. Not too shabby and a position not too many fans would have predicted after two games. So how have the players fared that have…
DEBATE: WILL AVB’S HIGH DEFENSIVE LINE EVER WORK?
With news that Chelsea are looking at a deal for a new right back and rumours that the Gary Cahill deal will be done and dusted by tomorrow, I am just wondering if AVB will revert back to his approach of playing with a high defensive line?. We have see…
Tipping The Balance
A cursory glance at the squad is enough to understand that Spurs deserve to be doing well in the league and will, in all probability, continue to do so. Look more carefully and things aren’t quite so comforting. The make up of the squad is such that …
"The spine of the team is what has made us what we are!"
Frank Lampard has once again reiterated that he needs games to find his best form, the team spirit is OK at the club and also an interesting point, he believes that it’s the established core of the Chelsea side that has seen us through in the last seve…
TORRES: No suprise as Thompson bias slates Torres yesterday.
After watching Fernando Torres’ performance yesterday for Chelsea I thought to myself “He’s had a good game today”. Then I saw the report of Ex-Liverpool Phil Thompson on Skysports “Soccer Saturday” and couldn’t believe what I was reading!. Thompson is…
Alex to QPR for £2m?
News has broken this morning as the now the transfer window is open, that Alex will speak to QPR about a possible move to Loftus Road as early as today. Some people have questioned with all our injury problems lately, as to why Alex has been frozen out…
Who’s your ideal CFC transfer target this January?
We are only days from the opening of the January transfer window. The rumor mill has already been spinning out of control over the past few weeks but, of course, as the new year approaches the links with a Chelsea clearly in need of something special will reach new levels of absurdity.
So, with that being [...]
