I am asking the question to you all because
he hasn't been sacked and it's as
simple as that. I was expecting Roman to pull the trigger like many of you after watching Chelsea's
decline once again this season but it hasn't happened and like I said, I will be honest I AM
surprised.
Well it's another week and another massive game coming up for our football club (Chelsea are 1.63
in Champions League betting to progress to the quarterfinals). As expected, the press are out for
AVB's neck once again after another rubbish performance at the weekend but as yet it hasn't
happened and he is still here.
It says a lot that after only two first legs in the last 16 of the Champions League, it looks
likely that for the first time since 1996, there will be no English teams in the quarter-finals of
Europe's top club competition. It says even more that no one is really that surprised.
Chelsea's task might not be as mountainous as Arsenal's, but there is a glaring lack of
confidence in Andre Villas-Boas' side.
Andy Carroll who has come under intense fire from the Liverpool faithful the past few weeks for
his inconsistent performances, responded to his critics by scoring in Liverpool's 3-0 win over
Wolves yesterday.
The £35 million signing from Newcastle opened the scoring for the Reds, to take his tally for
the club to 7.
With matters outside of football keeping Roman Abramovich busy, it was great to hear that he was at
Cobham to see the players train on Saturday, to see AVB for a chat about things and to attend the
game on Sunday. Roman even popped in to chat with the players for 30 minutes after the 3-3 draw
with United.
It's the CDS and is new from me to you the Chelsea fans all over the world. It's simple, I talk
about the Chelsea news of the day as featured on my blog!. Enjoy!

Isn't this a case of two plus two equals six here?? Surely the press have something better to do
than to carry on with the ridiculous articles about Roman turning up the heat on AVB by
attending training every day this week!
The next ridiculous rumour is that AVB is to be replaced by Fabio Capello "sooner rather than
later"!
Listen, regular readers will know when it comes to Didier Drogba, his form is up and down and as a
result my opinion of him has changed from a few seasons ago. Back then, Drogba was THE number one
at our club, played well on a consistent basis and became the scourge of defences all over Europe.
Roman Abramovich has had an "interesting" few days being back at Cobham hasn't he. Being present
for the most part last week and taking an interest in training, to then watch
the performance we
gave on Saturday at Goodison and to then hear the Manager speak of not preparing the team
properly must have been a real eye opener.

When Andre Villas-Boas took over as Chelsea Manager in June 2011, he probably didn't envisage
the club's dressing room being his biggest problem during his first season in English football. A
dressing room filled with international footballers and seasoned professionals would surely have
been an attraction for any potential Chelsea manager following the ruthless sacking of Carlo
Ancelotti.

Chelsea lost a game of football last night, and a fairly high-profile one at that against Napoli
in the last 16 of the Champions League. Their ropey, porous defence was breached three times by
one of the most coveted forward lines in world football.
