I remember coming home the day Fifa announced our transfer window ban and listening to the reports on Sky Sports open-mouthed. Another thing I remember is reading the ticker-tape on the screen saying something about us not being able to recall our loan players this season either but since that doesn’t seem to have been [...]

After the week the Chelsea players had just got themselves through, what with the drain of international duty and the even bigger drain of Fifa making a nuisance of themselves, it was nice to focus on matters of importance again. And yesterday, we had the small matter of a trip to Stoke. Not that I’m [...]

Venue: Britannia Stadium Date: Saturday, 12 September Kick-off: 1500 BST   It definitely hasn’t been the best week Chelsea have ever had leading up to a Premier League game, so we’ll be hoping it doesn’t get any worse as we travel to Stoke.  Still, at least the midlands is closer to home than some of [...]

Now that’s what I’m talking about. For a while now I’ve backed off from the whole England thing, not that I haven’t still watched them – naturally I have – I just haven’t felt arsed enough to have an opinion on them.

The fallout from Chelsea’s Fifa ban seems to have them all crawling out of the woodwork like vultures to pick over the bones at Stamford Bridge, Obviously the world and his wife want to put their twopence worth in, whether it’s opposition supporters gloating over what they see as them gaining an advantage over us, [...]

Funny that Adrian Mutu, after 5 years of avoiding any discussion with us that didn’t involve the words “sod off I’m not paying”, suddenly wants to sit down and have a chat with Roman Abramovich. Having been told by the CAS enough was enough and he needs to give up playing the victim and pay [...]

Donkeys years ago I gave up buying the rags that pass for newspapers in this country.  Part of that was around the bullshit on the front pages, ripping peoples lives to shreds on a daily basis in order to sell as many copies as possible. Oh, I realize if your average English citizen didn’t devour [...]
