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…

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.

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

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.

Spotlight: Gianfranco Zola
Gianfranco Zola is synonymous with Chelsea Football Club. The Sardinian magician was a scorer of truly great goals and was voted Chelsea’s greatest ever player in 2005 after a magnificent career at Stamford Bridge from 1996 to 2003. The little Italian broke through way back in 1989 at Italian club Napoli. There, he was in the same team as the legendary Diego Maradona and the two would spent hours together…
Bad Day At The Office
Chelsea’s title ambitions took a hefty blow after a 2-1 loss to Tottenham at White Heart Lane. Manchester United’s typically late win against Manchester City earlier in the day meant that the Blues lead had been cut down to a solitary point and so it remains, heading into the final three matches of the season. Ancelotti reverted back to the side that won the FA Cup semi final against Aston…
Spurs Up Next
Chelsea can take another huge step to regaining the English Premier League by beating Tottenham at White Hart Lane this weekend. Spurs themselves did Chelsea a huge favour by beating Arsenal last week, so hopefully they will be in just as helpful a mood this weekend. With the title within arms reach, Ancelotti has been using a 4-3-3 formation of late, rotating the centre forward and support players, ahead of…
