We’ve had our share of bad luck again this season, some – like our early season choice of manager – was self-inflicted, whilst some – like our injuries – was outside our control. Now, whilst I realise we’re far from the only club to have had injuries, yet again this season it just seems to [...]

The new and improved Didier Drogba (well, improved from the woeful form we saw under Scolari anyway) despite his denials, has undergone a revival under Guus Hiddink. Whilst the Ivorian was apathetic, lazy and downright bloody annoying under Scolari – even laughing at his own embarrassing performances at times, under Guus Hiddink, he’s got a [...]

I’m sure most of us saw Chelsea dump Arsenal out of the cup yesterday but for anyone who was unlucky enough not to catch it, you can see the highlights here – even for those of us that have seen them, they’re worth another look. And you can catch the post-match stuff here.

For the record, I would consider it as one of the most exciting European games ever. It had the lot didn’t it? Twists and turns galore. [...]

FA Cup semi-final Wembley Stadium Saturday, 18 April Kick-off: 1715 Wembley hosts its 10th FA Cup semi-final today and the first meeting there between Arsenal and Chelsea.

I’m going to have to hold my hands up and admit I was a bit unhappy with this year’s PFA Player of the Year nominations. Usually I wouldn’t give a toss whether any of our players are nominated or not but this year I wanted one of our players to get some recognition. So why [...]

  Fancy a couple of free tickets in the Chelsea end for this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal? The answer’s obviously yes, so get your arse over to Soccerlens, who have a couple to give away thanks to Samsung, and you could be there on Saturday.

What the hell is going on with Petr Cech these days? 3 goals conceded against Bolton, 4 against Liverpool – not exactly confidence inspiring with Arsenal at the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, he’s been a great keeper for us over the years but particularly against Liverpool he just looked like his bottle had completely [...]
