Ok, so we all read the over-opinionated, not even thinly veiled attack from Ian ‘mouthpiece’ Wright yesterday but do agree with anything Mr ‘I’ll have a go at anything as long as I’m on the telly’ Wright has to say? And more to the point, do we actually care less about his opinion? Well first [...]

Venue: Stamford Bridge Date: Wednesday, 16 December Kick-off: 1945 GMT Avram Grant returns to Stamford Bridge tonight, although fortunately not as our manager, as we take on troubled Portsmouth. Bottom of the table Pompey are in a fight to stay in the Premier League – both in terms of their football and their finances [...]
I know it’s a bit of an about-turn for TheChelseaBlog to be singing Didier Drogba’s praises so often in a season but then it’s been a bit of an about-turn from the Ivorian this season as well. Not since the days of Gianfranco Zola have I used the word ‘phenomenal’ so much for one player [...]

I’m not sure what the press boys were on this weekend but whatever it was, it was strong enough to see one of them throw together some ridiculous ‘story’ about Chelsea signing Stevie Me.

Venue: Stamford Bridge Date: Saturday, 12 December Kick-off: 1500 GMT We’re in the unusual (and unwanted) position of going three games without a win and seeing our lead in the table slip to just two points with our woeful performance against Man City last weekend. Still, with United not playing until this evening, the [...]

Before the game against Apoel Nicosia, John Terry had said in his programme notes “Going up to Manchester City and losing, our second defeat of the week, not only hurt, it’s not what this Chelsea’s about. It’s got to be a real wake-up call. We’re still top by two points and this emphasises that the [...]

If we thought we could’ve done without seeing Michael Essien leaving the field against Apoel Nicosia Tuesday night, the we could definitely have done without reading a statement on the official website saying “Michael Essien today (Wednesday) underwent an examination on the injury he suffered in last night’s Champions League game. The results of scans [...]

Before last night’s game I could just about put aside any real concern about the cracks beginning to appear at Chelsea. Ok, so we’d had a shocking game against Citeh but you’ll have the odd one of those in a season, so no big deal, and considering the changes Ancelotti had made to the side [...]
