It’s nearly six year since Jose Mourinho left Stamford Bridge. Six years during which we’ve had a succession of manager’s who haven’t quite lived up to either supporters’ or Roman’s ideals.  Hardly surprising given there’s never been a plan B – a fact that was highlighted with the initial appointment of Avram Grant and even [...]

Oh come on, you knew I wouldn’t be able to let this whole ‘Suarez’ thing pass me by without having my say on it surely? To be honest though, as far as I was concerned (once I’d picked my jaw up off the floor) Suarez bit Ivanovic, got his ten game ban and that was [...]

Where would you even start with the game yesterday? And more to the point, does it even matter when the game ended up a bit of an aside? Well, of course it does because whatever happened during the game – and it definitely wasn’t without incident – the two points could ultimately cost us as [...]

Gary Lineker might have thought he was amusing someone with his attempts at pre-April Fool’s on the interim’s sacking last night but for some of us, it’s no joke.   Whether it’s the Mail talking about David Moyes being on Roman’s wish list or the Express talking up a return of The Special One, some [...]

I should really stop wondering just how much lower the Chelsea hierarchy can stoop really – because every time I do, it’s as if they go into limbo-mode, bending over backwards to demonstrate their unswerving ability to create car crash PR. I suppose after the appointment of FSW, nothing should ever surprise us again really [...]

Ok, so it was a bit more than a clumsy challenge from David Luiz – in fact, it wasn’t far off a Giant Haystack’ manoeuvre if we’re honest – but did it really warrant the studio’s national inquiry? From Andy Townsend jumping out of his pram ready to call 999, to Ian Wright (or was [...]

What do you make of the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge this season? Whilst not exactly in the realms of ‘the library’, it’s not really conducive to Champions of Europe style performances either is it? One person who sounds as if he thinks both of the above apply though is TheChelseaBlog reader Josh Holmes. Have a [...]
