Versatile Chelsea youngster Gael Kakuta has caught the eye of a couple of Premier League clubs, namely Newcastle and Spurs. Having failed in their bid to get Stewart Downing, Spurs are after a decent option on the left and with Kinnear describing his own left-sided option (N’Zogbia) as “insomnia”, it’s fair to say he’s looking [...]

I read some silly story the other day, so ridiculous in fact, I couldn’t even be bothered putting anything on the blog about it. You know the sort of thing I mean – Real Madrid and Man City are linked with a player, so the press throw Chelsea in as an interested party, just to [...]

Former Chelsea man Tony Cascarino seems to have plenty to say about us this week and none of it good. Unsurprisingly, his opinion of Didier Drogba is pretty low, with him suggesting “The underlying problem within the camp now seems to be the behaviour of Drogba. To be honest the Chelsea players have had enough [...]

Despite Chelsea suggesting after Cudicini’s move to Spurs there’d be no more comings or goings at Stamford Bridge during this transfer window, according to recent reports that might not necessarily be the case.

CHELSEA 2-0 MIDDLESBROUGH Forgive me if I just bypass the first half but to be honest, it hurt my eyes watching it.
