It was only a matter of time before John Terry came out and said that the Chelsea players want to win Saturday’s FA Cup final against Everton for their departing manager Guus Hiddink. As we all know, Hiddink ‘s interim spell in charge of the club will come to an end after this weekend’s game. [...]

Alex will make the FA Cup final against Everton on Saturday but that’ll be his last game for a while as he’s set to miss Brazil’s World Cup Qualifiers and the Confederations Cup. The Chelsea centre-back was rested against Sunderland and needs to undergo surgery on a hernia injury but he’s been back in training [...]

Ok, so he might not be everyone’s favourite player in the Premier League but Cristiano Ronaldo has certainly gone up in my estimation today. Because, whilst Didier Drogba might have been a little too vocal in his opinion of Barcelona going through against us in the Champions League semi-final, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a little [...]

Very few things written in the press about Peter Kenyon make me smile, that’s understandable though right?

I can’t believe I’ve sat here doing a piece about the Champions League final that Chelsea aren’t even in but having missed out on the final thanks to some of the most woeful reffing the Champions League is ever likely to see – not to mention coming up against a right smug Barca fan yesterday [...]

Claude Makelele was always a favourite of mine during his time at Chelsea and I always said I thought he was an honest player. So, who am I to argue with what he’s come out and said about Jose Mourinho in his autobiography? Makelele, who spent five years at Stamford Bridge between 2003 and 2008, [...]

So, Nicolas Anelka bagged another goal for us yesterday and got himself this season’s Golden Boot. Not bad for a ‘second’ striker who’s still played out of his natural position half the time eh? I have to admit Anelka’s never been a favourite of mine and he definitely didn’t do himself any favours the way [...]
