Chelsea: It’s Not About The Money, Money, Money

Watching our game against Wigan at the weekend, I was really disappointed. God knows why, because given our fixture list is as congested as the District Line on a Saturday afternoon and our starting XI is subject to more changes than Katie Price’s little black book lately, I appreciate we can’t expect to be blowing [...]

Chelsea: Out Of Fight Or Just Out Of Steam?

Bloody woeful again yesterday wasn’t it? As if it wasn’t bad enough having to digest a midweek performance against City as limp as Dale Winton’s wrist, we’re served up a dire derby against Spurs for afters. Weaker constitutions might have succumbed to spewing bile by now but as passion-fuelled as that may be, that’s not [...]

Candidates Queueing For Chelsea Job? Probably Not

Almost four years ago now, TheChelseaBlog was ranting about the club’s handling of managers…….4 managers later, nothing has changed and following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas yesterday, it’s hard to feel anything except deeply disillusioned with the club.

Have Our Players Learnt As Much As AVB?

If you’re not giving your opinion on Andre Villas-Boas and the current situation at Chelsea, you’re clearly missing out on an old English custom, because everyone from pre-school to pension age seems to take a view on Chelsea managers – or at least that’s how it feels on a seasonal basis.

AVB Suffering For Past Mistakes?

I was watching some old Chelsea videos at the weekend – well let’s face it, it was preferable to our highlights against Birmingham wasn’t it? With everything that’s going on at the club right now, particularly the pressure AVB is under and the (mis)reported chants for the return of Mourinho, there’s definitely a feel that [...]

Is Torres Feeling The Love?

I was in a cab when I heard we’d signed Andriy Shevchenko. I remember it because I’d been saying for two seasons we should sign him.  I remember how I took the absolute piss out of the other passenger in the cab with me – a Milan fan who’d sworn all along Shevchenko would never [...]

Chelsea Concerns: From Boardroom To Pitch

When it’s supporters rather than the press calling for the Chelsea manager’s head, you know he’s in trouble.  Mind you, let’s not pretend the press hadn’t already sown the seed, they had, months ago and now it seems that following our first defeat of 2012, the ‘AVB out’ campaign is in full swing.

The Untouchables II: Not In Their Back-Yard

After days on end of having to read about why JT shouldn’t even play for England again, nevermind captain them, followed by the judgement from on high about Chelsea fans’ alleged racist booing of Rio Ferdinand at the weekend, I sat down last night to put a bit of a rant together on here by [...]

AVB – Off With His Head?!

Yesterday, TheChelseaBlog ran a reader’s post on the subject of AVB – now here’s my own take on it.

John Terry Defended Before He’s Tried

Ahead of tonight’s game – and the start of John Terry’s court case tomorrow – Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers has spoken in glowing terms of the Chelsea captain.
