Chelsea 4 Portsmouth 0 – Through but not the best performance

It was one of those games where the score doesn’t tell the entire story of the game.

Chelsea 4-0 Portsmouth: Late show from Torres the creator, Ramires books passage

Fernando Torres, Chelsea’s No. 10.
The Spaniard again failed to find the score sheet, but provided the necessary creativity that resulted in a late torrent of goals and a largely flattering 4-0 victory over visiting Portsmouth in the third round of the FA Cup. We weren’t anywhere near our best, but we’ll take it.

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!

Bravo Sheffield, Southampton & Portsmouth: in the pink with Sunderland

Both Pete Sixsmith and I have revelled in nostalgia for the Saturdays that were incomplete without a) football (honest, we saw football on Saturdays) and b) the “Pink” on the way home. For home games, that meant getting off the train in Durham and having time before the connection to Bishop Auckland to drop down [...]

Preseason: Portsmouth 0 – 1 Chelsea

Chelsea played their first “official” match in front of spectators with Andre Villas-Boas at the helm, beating Pompey 1-0 thanks to a Tal Ben-Haim own-goal (still thinks he plays for the Blues, maybe).

There were plenty of youngsters on the bench and on the pitch, which probably helped deprive the reserves in their 6-1 loss to [...]
