Blues Give Watford What For

January 4, 2010

Chelsea sealed their passage to the FA Cup fourth round with an emphatic 5-0 win over Watford at Stamford Bridge. Two goals from Daniel Sturridge, plus goals from Florent Malouda, Frank Lampard and an own goal from John Eustace were more than enough for victory.

Debt Free

January 1, 2010

It’s fair to say that one of the most common snipes from opposition supporters since Roman bought the club back in 2003, was that we’d be up the creek should he ever decide to leave us.
