Great to see Liverpool completely capitulate against Fulham today and have a good laugh at an exhausted looking Benitez as he trudged towards the tunnel.  I mean, we all know how arrogant confident they are irrespective of how many times they have to dust their ‘history’ down, but just when I thought I couldn’t laugh [...]

The draw has been made for the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup and unsurprisingly we’ve drawn Blackburn away. Why do I say unsurprisingly? Well there seems to be a bit of a pattern developing in our games of late – Blackburn at home in the league, Bolton at home in the cup, Bolton away in [...]

Joe Cole left the field to a standing ovation on Saturday and to be honest, that appreciation has been a long time coming. It’s something I’ve never really understood (and raised on TheChelseaBlog in the past), how time and again Joe Cole’s worth not just to his club but also his country, is overlooked. That’s [...]

Can’t grumble at that eh? Well, you could say if we’d taken the chances we missed in the first half, double figures wouldn’t have been out of the question, but let’s not be picky here. Paul Robinson might have seen five go past him but he saved just as many and certainly worked a lot [...]
