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…
Blues On Brink Of Historic Double
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,…
No Doubt
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…
The Perfect Ending
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…
Chelsea FC – Champs 09-10
Carlo’s Chelsea have won the league at the first attempt, scoring an incredible 103 league goals this season.

Destiny Awaits
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…
A Step Closer
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…
Anfield Awaits
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….
Sexy Seven Up
Hands up who expected that one then? If you’re still sat there as normal, then I expect you’ll be like the majority of supporters who, before the game, saw this as a potential banana skin. With the long throws of Rory Delap renowned for causing unease in opposition penalty areas, and our not so good record of conceding far too many from set plays this season, the outcome of this…
Stoked Up
Chelsea take on Stoke City today in what could be a pivotal match in the outcome of the Premier League this season. With Manchester United beating Tottenham yesterday afternoon, Chelsea now find themselves two points behind the league leaders albeit with this afternoon’s game in hand. With John Terry suspended due to his sending off against Spurs, the returning Ivanovic should partner Alex in the center of defence, with Ferreira…
