Sporting Lisbon’s Afonso Taira seems to have attracted a lot of attention from the Premier League, so it comes as now great surprise that our name is among the interested parties. Apparently, United, Everton, Spurs and us, have got an eye on the 16 year old, who doesn’t have a professional deal right now and [...]
How flimsy are some of the links in the press? You have to laugh at them really. One of the latest ones concerning us is that of Rafael van der Vaart. The Dutch playmaker hasn’t been as big a hit since signing for Real Madrid in the summer as he’d hoped and naturally, because Guus [...]

Fancy a quick look at some of the stuff being written about us today but can’t be bothered scrolling through pages of it? TheChelseaBlog has picked a few out to save you the effort: Tony Cascarino has given his opinion on our downfall this season, suggesting we were out of the title race even before [...]

Roman Abramovich isn’t the most patient of owners, as we well know. To date, he’s employed – and dispatched with – Claudio Ranieri, Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant and Luiz Felipe Scolari and right now only has a temporary manager in place. Mind you, even Guus Hiddink, who insists he’ll still be leaving in the summer [...]
