So, good old Roman has bailed the club out again. As we know, last year, our Russian owner halved the club’s debt when he turned 50 per cent of his interest-free loans into shares. Turns out though, that for Christmas this year, he’s only gone and done it again. So that’s a £340million debt blown [...]

Well, it was a close call and a long time coming but we finally got ourselves 3 points. Ancelotti made a few changes to the side that scraped a draw against Birmingham Saturday, notably, bringing in Yuri Zhirkov and dropping Ashley Cole, and replacing Ivanovic with Ferreira and, watched by Jose Mourinho, we set about [...]

Venue: Stamford Bridge Date: 28 Dec 2009 Kick-off: 1500 GMT We might just about still be top of the table but with United’s win yesterday, our lead is a marginal two points now and with just one win from our last seven games in all competitions, it’s looking pretty vital [...]

We might have been linked with Sergio Aguero but as far as Carlo Ancelotti’s concerned, the press can what they like – we won’t be buying anyone in January.

Apparently we’ve been given the good news that our African stars will be available for us against Fulham tomorrow.

Not so sure [...]

But whilst the less optimistic amongst us aren’t exactly stunned by what was probably a fairly predictable result, what is shocking is [...]

Venue: St Andrew’s Date: Saturday, 26 December 2009 Kick-off: 1245 GMT Right, the turkey’s been eaten, the crackers pulled and there’s enough wrapping paper to create our own versions of Sherwood Forest in the back garden. Now it’s back to the nitty gritty of the festive period as we attempt to get [...]
Oh bloody hell! Whilst we’re all still debating whether or not we’ll cope with Didier Drogba’s absence through ACON duty, the fact that Nicolas Anelka missed the game through injury on Sunday seems to have been overlooked – until today’s announcement that is. Word is that Nicolas Anelka has failed to respond to treatment on [...]

Didier Drogba has been back to his best this season. I don’t think too many people would argue with that. He has scored 13 goals in the league alone and has been influential in Chelsea’s rise to the top of the table. However, Carlo Ancelotti will have to attempt to cope without his star striker [...]
