I hate footballing superstitions. You know what we’re like? we have to stick to our pre-match rituals because we just know the result depends upon it. Anyone who isn’t affected by the whole pre-game superstition thing won’t have a clue what I’m talking about here but for anyone who shares the ‘ritual’ affliction, you’ll know [...]

It was only a week or so ago I was getting a bit worried the groin operation he’d had in the summer seemed to be keeping Alex out for a suspiciously long time, but I shouldn’t have been so cynical because not only is he on his way back from injury but following on from [...]

Didier Drogba appears to have a bit of a sense of humour – or at least I assume he’s joking when he insists he’s no diver. Having spent about 50% of his last Premier League game rather more attached to the turf than even the majority of the home crowd would have liked to see [...]

Michael Ballack apparently took a bit of a bang on the ankle against Russia at the weekend – by none other than Chelsea new-boy Yuri Zhirkov. The Chelsea midfielder looked to be suffering but as seems to be the custom for our international players, stayed on the pitch for the full 90 minutes anyway – [...]

You just knew it didn’t you – the Adrian Mutu saga couldn’t just die out and go away – and surprise, surprise, the Romanian has managed to drag it out even further by getting his compensation payment suspended – for now. As we’re all well aware by now, Mutu failed his drug test by us [...]

With our game against Manchester United still a month away, it looks like Patrice Evra is already on a bit of a wind-up. After our 2-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday, the United man reckons beating us is more important to him than beating Liverpool. Evra says “Chelsea away is the game I always want [...]
How bloody infuriating is Didier Drogba? There’s no question about it, he was the difference between the two sides yesterday. He’s without a doubt one of the hardest players to play against in the Premier League – as I’m sure plenty of defenders would testify – but he’ll never get the sort of respect other [...]

I have to say I haven’t felt quite so sick before a game in a long time. The vultures were circling, just waiting to write us off and to be fair we’d given them plenty to chew over in our performances against both Wigan and Apoel Nicosia, so I’m not going to beat myself up [...]
