Oh look, we have a big game tonight and a certain Brazilian playmaker has withdrawn from the squad – excuse me if I can’t act anymore surprised but it seems ‘big game’ and ‘Deco out’ are a much more predictable pairing than our front two this season. Or am I just a cynic? Anyway, the [...]

Just when you I think I’ve heard it all from Didier Drogba he comes up with another little gem. So what is it this time? He’s tormented at Chelsea and wants to leave? He loves us and he wants to stay? Actually it’s neither of those (for a change), because this time he’s reminiscing about [...]

Ahead of our game with Juventus tomorrow night, it seems one of The Old Lady’s midfielder’s is full of confidence. Juve’s Mohamed Sissoko not only believes they can get a result against us but he also reckons Chelsea are scared of the Bianconeri. In fact, he says Nicolas Anelka has admitted as much. Claudio Ranieri [...]

Is a debate that’s gone on for much of Chelsea’s season – Can Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba play together up front? Both Avram Grant and Luiz Felipe Scolari didn’t seem to think so, which is why we haven’t seen enough of them together to answer the question with any degree of certainty. Guus Hiddink [...]

Bloody typical. We finally win a game against top four opposition and I miss it courtesy of the night shift from hell that left me comatose. Hiddink apparently went with a 4-3-3, with Anelka and Kalou on the flanks and whilst I’d normally have a whinge about Anelka being played out of position, this seemed [...]

TheChelseaBlog did pretty ok in the Soccerlens awards for 2008, winning the best new blog category. And with Chelsea not exactly that well represented in the FFC nominations, it couldn’t be easier to make your minds up which Chelsea blog to go for.
