THE SEASON SO FAR…

Written by Rowan Farnham-Long on 4th January, 2009 • 360 views

Half-way through the 2008/09 season and things are looking far from rosy. Early-campaign optimism has been replaced by a feeling of dismay as events at the Bridge unfold day by day, or rather game by game. November onwards has seen a consistent pattern emerge; one draw follows the next, with wins drying up and the [...]

SUNNY SOUTHEND BECKONS BRAZILIAN

Written by Peter Sampson on 4th January, 2009 • 341 views

Chelsea warmed up for next Sunday’s Premiership clash with Manchester United with a 1 - 1 draw with Championship side Southend.
Although Chelsea led the goal opportunity stats quite significantly Southend managed to score one of their two chances late into the game.
Chelsea seem to be susceptible to set pieces at the moment with Southend’s Peter [...]

WHY LEE SAWYER AND FRIENDS CAN FEEL A LITTLE AGGRIEVED TONIGHT

Written by Philip Rolfe on 3rd January, 2009 • 826 views

Conventional wisdom and basic logic can be dangerous things. They don’t always show the whole picture, ignoring subtleties which change the landscape and is often the difference between being right and wrong on something. But indulge me for a moment (with yes, another of these pieces) and take them as accurate and a strong base [...]

FROM SOUTHEND TO WEMBLEY?

Written by Rowan Farnham-Long on 2nd January, 2009 • 150 views

The FA Cup kicks off for Chelsea this Saturday with a third round tie against League One side Southend United. The Essex boys travel to Stamford Bridge as huge underdogs, but will be hoping that the magic of the competition combined with some sketchy Chelsea home form of late could swing the game in their [...]

CLINT DOESN’T MAKE CHELSEA’S DAY

Written by Peter Sampson on 29th December, 2008 • 335 views

Chelsea made the shortest away trip of the season this afternoon and disappointingly drew with Fulham.
The Blue went down to an early Clint Dempsey goal. Simon Davies swung over a free-kick, Dempsey had time to control at the far post and with his back to goal, divert the ball past Cech.
On 50 minutes Joe Cole [...]

CHELSEA CHEER ON BOXING DAY

Written by Darren Mantle on 27th December, 2008 • 82 views

Chelsea beat West Brom 2-0 today in a one sided encounter at Stamford Bridge, having not won our previous three home matches, with Sunderland on the first day of November being our last home win it was essential that we did not drop yet some more points at home.

Lampard was captain in place of the [...]

THE XMAS MIRACLE

Written by Peter Sampson on 27th December, 2008 • 209 views

Didier Drogba and stand in captain, Frank Lampard gave Chelsea fans some Xmas cheer yesterday. Didier got into the Xmas spirit early with a text book header after just 4 minutes. (Incidentally this was Didier’s first goal of the Premiership campaign.) Chelsea continued to look dominant without actually moving up to top gear. Lampard scored before halftime [...]

GOD REST YE MERRY JOHN TERRY

Written by Peter Sampson on 24th December, 2008 • 394 views

Big Phil has told the media that fellow Brazilian Alex wants to stay with the club and is happy to be part of the squad. This is quite timely considering JT’s red card on Monday night. Not the cleverest tackle in the world but I have to agree with a guy in the forum who [...]

A PAIR OF CHRISTMAS CRACKERS

Written by Rowan Farnham-Long on 24th December, 2008 • 466 views

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Another chance blown, another opportunity snatched from us. Usually at Christmas a little fat man gives gifts, but on Monday night Phil Dowd did the complete opposite for us. The portly fella in green (who began to resemble something we all hate, a sprout) frustrated the life out of [...]

CHRISTMAS BINGE BEGINS WITH TOFFEES

Written by Rowan Farnham-Long on 20th December, 2008 • 506 views

The festive guys at Setanta have yet again proved their complete lack of generosity towards supporters ahead of a meeting between Everton and Chelsea. Ahead of a busy Christmas period of fixtures, the television ‘experts’ have decided to emulate their decision last season to shunt the Goodison Park fixture to a Thursday evening, and yet [...]
