It’s funny but I could’ve sworn I’d heard John Terry had ‘sleepless nights’ in the days following Manchester City’s repeated offers over the summer.

At the start of the month, TheChelseaBlog ran a story on how Adrian Mutu had a decision to make – either he paid the £14.7million the CAS had ordered he pay Chelsea, or he faced the consequences – and the consequences for Mutu would mean never being allowed to play professionally again.

It’s all go at Chelsea eh – well as far as Andriy Shevchenko’s concerned it is anyway. One minute his old boss is reassuring him he still has a future at the club, the next he’s left out of our Champions League squad. Actions speak louder than words eh Sheva? And so, with Ancelotti’s actions [...]

CHELSEA vs BURNLEY Venue: Stamford Bridge Date: Saturday, 29 August Kick-off: 1245 BST   It’s an early kick-off against Burnley for us today although personally, I’d rather we got to play them a bit later in the season.  The new-boys are always a bit of an unknown quantity and Burnley are certainly proving to be [...]
