It might be slightly premature to make such claims about a match, but as Bolton visit Stamford Bridge tonight, one thing is clear. As the Premier League season reaches the midway mark, Chelsea’s 19th fixture of the campaign carries more significance and importance than any which has gone before it. Sure, there have been tougher opponents, but with 2010 drawing to an end, Carlo Ancelotti and company must draw on…
Gooners Pile On The Misery
Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that you weren’t good enough and it was one of those days for the Blues at the Emirates. Chelsea have had some big results against Arsenal over the years and were expected to get the result again despite being on a terrible run for the past month, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be the case, as some horrible mistakes in quick succession…
Vote Your MOTM: Arsenal
For many weeks now we’ve been looking at our performances, and not seeing what we’re used to seeing. The team appears disjointed and despite seeing ‘improvements’ in players, or passages of play, it’s just not good enough overall. Arsenal earned a deserved win over us for sure, but who was your best Chelsea player on the day? [fppp_display_poll] Check out our fantastic NEW Chelsea T-Shirts site at TheChels.biz – the best…
Arsenal – What Went Wrong?
OK, so it’s not necessarily just the Arsenal defeat where things have gone wrong recently. One win since mid November – and that merely a late one in a below-par outing against MSK Zilina – has left Blues fans reeling at the club’s worst run of form for over a decade, and has left a number of questions in need of an answer. Is it an issue with squad depth?…

Expect Anelka and Malouda to flank him, Anelka getting the nod ahead of…

The Chelsea Christmas Wishlist
As 25th December hurtles towards us with all the speed of a Japanese bullet train, I thought I’d take this opportunity to have a rummage round my sack and see what might make suitable gifts for some of the Chelsea team this year. To Petr Cech – A time machine that would take him back to the morning of 15th October 2005 and a change to the Reading line-up meaning…
The Harding Perspective: Arsenal
With the United match now on the back-burner until March, the focus switches to another of this seasons title contenders; Arsenal. Fabianski’s return in goal should be a welcome sight for Chelsea fans. His presence in goal this season has made a shaky central pairing look even more fragile, as Vermaelen’s loss is felt with each passing game. Fabianski possesses an inability to claim crosses and is a man with…
George’ll Fix It For You
In the continuation of our look at some of the key performers from the first half of this year’s reserve and youth campaign, we taken a look at George Saville. Alongside yesterday’s feature Todd Kane, George is the only other player to have a 100% appearance record in the Under-18 league, and he too has featured in a number of different roles so far. A left-back for much of his…
Kane Proving More Than Able
Part of a young player’s development is understanding and experiencing different positions on the pitch. Many an individual will spend time working on and playing in an unfamiliar role to expand their knowledge of the game, and how another player in the team will see things from ther place. In the first of a series of looks at members of the youth and reserve teams who have performed well in…
