Sunday 15th April - Saturday 21st April: A Week to Cherish

How many did we score? It's easy to forget what a week it's been for Chelsea after today's result. But as you can probably gather, I'm here to make sure you don't.  Another great week in the Di Matteo era; wins, wins, wins and a draw - where was this all season I hear you say, the question that footballing world is trying to answer (slight exaggeration). Of course...

Chelsea vs Barcelona: A Champions League Tale

Jump up and get excited, it's that time again! The Champions League is back and oh how everyone's missed it. Two classics, in fact the two most common games in European history.

It's Best To Be Lucky AND Good

Chelsea were both lucky and good in the FA Cup Semifinal against Spurs as we powered our way into the fourth FA Cup final in just six years to play Liverpool. The game had a little bit of everything. Goalpost hit, two brilliant goals, one controversial goal, a worrying injury and even a small fight! But in the end the better team won.           The...

Are Chelsea fans being unfair to Kalou?

One game every three days in the span of 34 days-That's Chelsea's schedule and why we should be happy so far

Did you know that if you stand on the ocean floor for quite some time, you can have your skull cracked open due to the pressure from the water around you?! That's how immense the pressure down there is and that's how intense the pressure is for the Chelsea players at the moment. And luckily, so far Chelsea have coped well to that pressure. We have played 11 games in 34...

Don't We Just Love the 82nd Minute!

Another day, another draw. 6th of 2012. On a day where a win really mattered, we didn't win. But who's really surprised. A day when half the team didn't turn up and the performance wasn't good enough we drew, just. The likes of Torres, Ramires, Meireles and Ivanovic didn't turn up. But (the beautiful thing that is) hindsight will say it's a good result, especially when you...

Chelsea - Wigan: Did The Best Team Win?

     Ah, the age old debate of possession football. Or as many a pundit would say "the right way of playing football." Fair to say that the game against Wigan brought up that debate in a less clear manner. Many would say that Wigan were desperately unlucky not to get anything out of the match. Even I would agree, though I think we ought to look at it a little...
