There are things that leave me feeling frustrated. Like a team of winners who appear not to have turned up, and who lose to a team of lesser skill and ability who put a lot more effort into the game. There are things that leave me feeling angry. Like a deliberate handball that robs a nation of a dream-fulfilling place in the World Cup. Or when the ball crosses the…
Chelsea sealed their first league and cup double with a 1-0 win in the FA Cup Final against Portsmouth, at Wembley Stadium. After hitting the woodwork five (yes, five!) times in the first half, Chelsea looked like they would pay when Portsmouth were awarded a penalty, but Petr Cech’s penalty save closely followed by Didier Drogba’s free kick, saw Chelsea close out a deserved victory. Chelsea were unchanged from the…
In just a few hours Chelsea have the chance to write their names into an elite group of clubs who’ve won the ‘double’ in England. Avram Grant’s Portsmouth team, relegated from the Premier League this season, and riddled with all manor of financial problems, stand in our way. With Chelsea coming off the back of a record 8-0 thrashing of Wigan last week, confidence will surely be at a premium,…
So the weekend began, a Friday night full of excitement and anticipation. I looked at the Chelsea team to face Wigan and I smiled. The little gremlin Doubt sat in the corner, tiny and huddled. It was a shame I did not notice the evil glint in his eye or I would have done something about it then. Something like watching a few vids of our triumphs on TheChels.tv. But…
Chelsea stormed to the English Premier League title by thrashing hapless Wigan Athletic 8-0 in the final match of the season. Manchester United’s 4-0 win at home to Stoke City was irrelevant, as Didier Drogba’s hat trick, Nicolas Anelka’s brace and further goals from Frank Lampard, Salomon Kalou and Ashley Cole rounded out a sensational victory. Wigan started brightly, but the Blues took the lead in the sixth minute and…
Carlo’s Chelsea have won the league at the first attempt, scoring an incredible 103 league goals this season. Frank Lampard had his best season ever, Didier Drogba scored more goals than any other season and won the golden boot, and Petr Cech has won the golden gloves. We’ve won the Community Shield, The FA Youth Cup, The Premiership and now have the FA Cup final to play. We’ve beaten every…
Today could possibly be the start of an historic double winning season for Chelsea. Scrap that, today WILL be the start of an historic double winning season for Chelsea. As always with Chelsea there are reasons to be nervous; season of relative inconsistency, scandals and non handshakes. However it’s also been a season of goals galore, with three 7 goal thrashings at Stamford Bridge this season. Chelsea’s starting 11 should…
Chelsea has one hand on their first English Premier League trophy since 2006 after a straightforward 2-0 win over embattled Liverpool at Anfield. Yet again, Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard stepped up for the occasion, as a goal in each half proved more than enough against a limp and uninspired opposition. There was only one change to the side that thrashed Stoke City 7-0 last week. As predicted, John Terry…
Chelsea can be crowned Premier League Champions this weekend should they defeat Liverpool at Anfield and if Manchester United lose to Sunderland. Conversely, the Blues could feasible end the weekend two points behind Manchester United should results go the other way. It is a huge weekend, one that could define the season. Chelsea, coming off the massive 7-0 win against Stoke City last weekend, welcome back John Terry from suspension….
