The ‘biggest club in the world’ and the club that every player would surely want to play for given the chance – with the exception of a certain Portuguese goal machine this summer maybe – don’t seem to have the same pull they used to.
You see, when it comes to a straight choice between [...]

Ok, so the fact that Ashley Cole is about as popular in football as Victoria Beckham would be at a weightwatchers class, isn’t exactly headline news. The Chelsea defender has never, and will never be in line to win any popularity contests, whether he’s being judged on the manner in which he left his former [...]

Michael Essien has been missing from the Chelsea side since the start of last month following an injury sustained on international duty for Ghana. The Chelsea midfielder suffered cruciate knee ligament damage in a game against Libya and the initial prognosis looked pretty bleak, with estimates of even a 6 month lay-off seeming optimistic.

Oh dear, Michael Ballack’s loyalty to his team-mates seems to have got him in a spot of bother with Germany.
The Chelsea midfielder recently spoke out in support of German team-mate Torsten Frings after he’d been left on the bench for Germany’s qualifiers against Russia and Wales. Werder Bremen midfielder Frings, who’s won 78 caps [...]

John Terry popped up with a 78th minute goal last night to give Chelsea the 3 Champions League points and a timely reminder of his importance to Chelsea both as a player and a captain. I say a timely reminder because Terry’s physical health and his influence as a leader have both been called into [...]
