Shame about the weather for this one, especially after Cesc had clearly taken so much time over his hair – pretty boy.
Arsenal had the better start and plenty of possession in the first twent minutes, whilst Mikel was found wanting in the concentration department and was pushed off the ball a little too easily. [...]

A win for United yesterday put them just two points behind us so we need a result today to make that gap a little bit more respectable again – and it’s Arsenal at the Emirates.

You have to laugh at Wenger really, he always tries to give mind games a go before big games and never quite gets it right.
Bearing in mind we haven’t done much wrong in terms of our football so far this season, the sour-faced Arsenal manager has had a scrabble round and come up with [...]

Well, it weren’t pretty but seeing as we’ve clinched top spot in the group, you’d have to say it was effective.
I suppose with us both having qualified for the knockout stages already, the sort of game we got was the sort of game we expected. We started off ok with efforts from Malouda, Drogba [...]

Stretching this to beyond football, in this year’s X Factor [...]

Venue: Stamford Bridge
Date: Saturday, 21 November 2009
Kick-off: 1500
It’s been a while since we played Wolves in the Premier League and the last time we did do that at Stamford Bridge, we battered them 5-2 courtesy of a Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink hat-trick.
Mind you, that was back in 2004 and Jimmy Floyd won’t be [...]

Oh dear, looks like Michael Essien is in a spot of bother with his national team.
Apparently, the Chelsea midfielder went walkabout with Inter’s Sulley Muntari and Rennais’ striker Asamoah Gyan for Ghana’s trip to Angola and it looks like he could get the boot, with Ghana FA chairman Dr Nyaho Tamakloe insisting “No European [...]
