First off as a Chelsea fan there was nothing more satisfying than seeing Lampard prove all his doubters (including many Chelsea fans) wrong today. As Chelsea ran out 5-1 winners at the Reebok stadium in a dominating display with Lampard controlling the midfield and picking up a hat trick along the way too. Far too many people have written him off after an injury hit last season. People forget he scored 13 times last season, prior to that he had scored over 20 goals in each of his previous 5 …
Chelsea look to finally wrap up the deal for Liverpool forward Fernando Torres. The blues have been interersted in the Spaniard for a long time now and it looks likely that a bid in the region of £70m would be required to force Liverpool to sell him. Things have gone from bad to worse for cash strapped Liverpool and with Rafa Benitez gone there doesn’t seem to be much the club can do to hold on to him. Its no secret that Torres is not happy after his side …
Bolton (H), Spurs (A), Stoke (H), Liverpool (A) and Wigan (H).
I’ve never been a huge fan of pre-match analysis. Of course there is the occasional titbit of ‘is that right?’ style information for your mates to chew on. For example, the number of goals Chelsea have scored in the matches Didier Drogba hasn’t started (25 goals in 6 games before the 2-1 win over United).
However, for the most part a pre-match analysis seems to be more of a win-win for the pundits. If they predict something correctly, then they are …
Goals from Alex, Malouda and a brace from Drogba helped Chelsea to a 4-1 victory over London rivals West Ham. Alex headed in from a Malouda cross give Chelsea a lead before what was thought to be a foul throw by Kieron Dyer found Scott Parker who slotted past Ross Turnbull to equalize 15 minutes before halftime. Both sides went into the interval level at 1-1. The second half brought out a much more ruthless and determined Chelsea as just 11minute into the second half Didier Drogba scored to give …
This Saturday Chelsea will face Everton at Stamford Bridge while looking to increase their lead 5 points at least until Man Utd face Aston Villa. Carlo Ancelotti determined to have all 3 points to keep their lead the top of the table. They are going into this match on the back of a defeat at Carling cup defeat on penalties last Wednesday, a 2-1 defeat at Manchester city last weekend and then a 2-2 draw against APOEL in midweek. A win against a struggling Everton could well put Chelsea back to their winning ways. …
Today Chelsea will face Blackburn at Stamford Bridge as the Blues will be looking to go top of the table for at least 24 hours until Man United travel to Liverpool tomorrow. The Chelsea have not lost at home in over a year and will be expected to take 3 points. A win would temporarily put them 2 points ahead of United. The last these 2 sides met Chelsea were victorious with Nicolas Anelka scoring a brace to give his side a 2-0 win.
Here is a video of their …
Chelsea Transfer Ban and it’s youth policy.
Chelsea are banned from 2 transfer windows, but as any ‘self righteous’ club will do so, they are going to appeal the ban.
There are two issues that spring to mind on hearing this news.
Firstly, maybe the news is not as devastating as it is made out to be in terms of the transfer activity that Chelsea might have been involved in, in the coming two windows.
I am not very sure that Chelsea would have been very active in the transfer market in any case. …
A mature and disciplined performance saw Chelsea ease to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Fulham thanks to strikes in either half from Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.
In what was a game lacking in excitement and spark, two pinpoint through balls saw two of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League convert when one on one with the goalkeeper.
The result ensured that Chelsea maintained their 100% start to the Premiership whilst a tired looking Fulham side, after their exploits in the Europa League on Thursday, will hope to make it …
Chelsea got off to a winning start in the 2009 World Football Challenge, beating Italian Champions Inter Milan by two goals to nil.
The game was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California which hosted the 1994 World Cup Final between Brazil and Italy. As on that occasion it was to be another Italian disappointment as the Londoners ran out comfortable winners.
It was also the first time Jose Mourinho had come up against his former club since taking over at Inter.
Chelsea fielded a strong line up with all …
We are 15 days into the transfer market, yet there havent been any major,big signings as current. Arsenal have apparently signed a good left/centre-back called Thomas Vermaelen. I havent heard much about him and dont really have a clue who he is but he should be a good signing for Arsenal, because defence is Arsenals’s week point. Now to Aston Villa who havent signed anyone yet but are looking for replacements in midfield following the loss of Gareth Barry to mega-bucks Manchester City. Aston Villa have 12 million from that …
