Chelsea 0-1 Inter Milan (1-3 agg): Out thought and out performed. Chelsea are made to look very ordinary.

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 18 March @ 09:34 PM EDT
The title of the post says it all. Jose came back to Chelsea and said "I never lose at Chelsea" and he was right. Before I speak about the game and the players, the fact of the matter is that Jose has out-foxed Ancelotti twice now in the matter of weeks and has beaten us twice.
There are people who will have different opinons on the why and how etc but its there in black and white. Click to continue reading...

PREVIEW: Chelsea V West Ham - A Different kind of pressure.

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 17 March @ 07:20 PM EDT
PREVIEW:
Here's a question for you Chelsea Fans. When was the last time West Ham won an away game in the Premier League?. I can tell you, back in August when they beat Wolves 2-0. Ever since that game they have struggled away from home and this has been their downfall and the reason as to why they are where they are in the League. Click to continue reading...

Some things we learnt from Chelsea v Inter…

FOOTBALLSUP 17 March @ 06:52 AM EDT
  • Jose Mourinho is still the king of Stamford Bridge The Special One had a remarkable record there in charge of Chelsea, and in inflicting a rare home defeat on Ancelotti's men reminded everyone, especially Chelsea fans, just how good he is. Indeed, his favourite biscuits were put out specially for him, he has a wall dedicated to him and his achievements within the stadium, and was raucously applauded by the Chelsea fans.

Avenell Road 05 March @ 03:48 AM EDT

Tomorrow we welcome Burnley to The Emirates, the Mancs face Wolves away and the Chavs are at home to Stoke City in the FA Cup.. We know Stoke can give any team a hard time in more ways than one and as much as it pains me to say this, but I will be cheering them on against Chelsea on Sunday

OOps, I have just been advised this is a cup match for the chavs, all the better I say, we can put more pressure on them with a win!

Il grande giorno è arrivato.
Questa sera, a San Siro, scenderanno in campo Inter e Chelsea nell'andata degli ottavi di Champions League (ore 20 e 45).

Terry flies off after a worrying comment from Ancelotti

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 23 February @ 08:30 PM EDT
So John Terry today begins his time off from football to get his personal life and the situation he has found himself in sorted out in Dubai. Now I have said from day one since the story broke that what he does off the pitch is his business and all I care about is what he does for Chelsea on the pitch for those 90 mins.

Who’s Hot & Who’s Not

A Sporting View 23 February @ 07:27 PM EDT

Unstoppable at present

No I haven't started writing for FHM, I'm just trialling a new format which I have to fess up straight away and admit I've "borrowed" from Sports Illustrated's golf scribe Alan Shipnuck. The Hot List is a weekly feature he writes  and I like the punchy, entertaining way in which the column's delivered.

Carletto Ancelotti, ora alla guida dei londinesi, torna ad abbracciare San Siro, contro la rivale di sempre, l'Inter. Tanta l'emozione per l'ex Diavoletto.
Ed inevitabile, perciò. qualche punzecchiatura al condottiero dei nerazzurri, il portoghese Mourinho. Click to continue reading...

Some Consistency, Please!

The Dribzleroo 21 February @ 04:47 AM EDT

Sir Alex Ferguson must not be enjoying his Chinese New Year.

He saw two very different Manchester United sides in a matter of days at the San Siro and Goodison Park. I can picture him throwing mahjong chips and pineapple tarts at his players, who blew a golden "hong bao" opportunity to leapfrog Chelsea at the Premier League summit.

The Champions League will feature a hotly contested tie between Italian champions Inter and English club Chelsea.

Can Inter Achieve The Treble?

Serie A Talk 30 January @ 03:39 AM EDT

The Serie A season has perhaps been overshadowed by the struggles of Juventus which have culminated in the firing of Coach Ciro Ferrara. While it has been gloomy in Turin, the city of Milan has witnessed the revival of the Rossoneri but more importantly the continued dominance of the Nerazzurri on the domestic scene.

Premier League Photos: Chelsea 3-0 Birmingham – ‘Lampard Is The Best Running Midfielder In The World’

Who Ate All the Pies 28 January @ 07:23 AM EDT

By Ollie Irish

An evening stroll for Chelsea, this. They brushed aside in-form Birmingham like Roger Federer crushes unseeded players in the first round of majors, i.e. with disdain and efficiency. Frank Lampard scored twice clinical strikes, both after Florent Malouda had put Chelsea in front with a routine header in the fifth minute.

Premier League prediction: Champions Chelsea 85 points, Man Utd 83, Arsenal 80

By virtue of the weather, Chelsea found themselves knocked off top spot in the Premier League last week as Arsenal swept Bolton aside at the Emirates. In turn, Manchester Utd scored four against a hapless Hull to secure the lead for themselves at the weekend whilst Chelsea and Arsenal concerned themselves with the FA Cup –with varying degrees of success.

Quick Hits – 2

A Sporting View 24 January @ 03:43 PM EDT
  1. Got it wrong v Stoke

    After Arsenal's defeat at Stoke today in the FA Cup 4th Round it looks as if its Chelsea's trophy to lose again this year, with the Blues being the only member of the so-called Big Four left in the competition. The holders dispatched Preston with ease on Saturday and the absence of Didier Drogba and Michael Essien has not slowed Carlo Ancelotti's men in their tracks.

Why the African Cup of Nations is the best thing to happen to Chelsea

bridge views 19 January @ 11:25 AM EDT

Since the season began – and Chelsea made such a good start to their Premier League campaign – much has been made of the potential impact of this month's African Cup of Nations on Ancelotti's title hopes. The loss of the influential Drogba and Essien, who have scored 23 goals and made 8 assists for Chelsea so far this season between them, would surely spell disaster for Chelsea's title charge.

Premier League half-term reports: Burnley, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Hull

Who Ate All the Pies 06 January @ 07:57 AM EDT

The second of our four half-term report cards (check out the first part here) for the 09/10 Premier League season features Burnley, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham and Hull City:

BURNLEY (14th, 20 points from 20 games)

It's a breeze to sum up the Clarets' season so far: excellent at Fortress Turf Moor, lamentable away from Fortress Turf Moor; Burnley have failed to win any of their ten games on the road, with just one draw and nine defeats.

Feeding frenzy. Prem action, FA Cup-sets and more catch-up than a Heinz factory

Center Holds It 05 January @ 12:38 AM EDT
Oh so much, dear readers, to feed on in 6's and 7's absence. While we were lost in the snowy mountains with nothing to sustain us besides frozen pizza, Straub beer, and... hmm that sounds like most nights at ours, well there was loads to watch on the football box.
We'll skip to the highlights since most of the lowlights include Manchester City unfortunately looking pretty good so far under Il Manch, and Liverpool looking, well pretty Liverpool right now. Click to continue reading...

Have Chelsea Got The Winter Blues?

SoccerLens 01 January @ 09:26 AM EDT

"Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of York" (Shakespeare- Richard III)

Yes, I know a bit of culture is always welcomed by the Soccerlens readers and who better than The Bard himself to open this piece? Of course Will actually meant that the time of discontent was waning (in it's 'winter'), while I borrow the great man's phrase to suggest that down Stamford Bridge way the words winter and discontent are becoming synonymous in recent seasons.

Top 10 Most Creative Players In The Premiership 2009/2010

The Flat Back Four 27 December @ 06:59 AM EDT
Basking in the afterglow of a rare West Ham win, I have been browsing at some statistics on the most creative Premiership players so far in the English Premier League 2009/2010 season. What I used to gauge creativity is the amount of chances created and assists credited, which should be a fair enough assessment of a player's creativity. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea not signing strikers, else Carlo will get naked

The Offside 26 December @ 06:12 PM EDT
Despite being constantly linked with all kinds of strikers, Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea will definately not be signing a striker in the January Transfer window.

Calcio, il Chelsea spaventa l'Europa. Aguero e De Rossi nel mirino, pronti 62 milioni

"Paperone" Abramovich è pronto a soddisfare le richieste di Carlo Ancelotti. Pronta la valigetta con i contanti, ben 62 milioni di euro, la società del magnate russo si prepara a intervenire sul mercato. Si avvicina gennaio, e con esso la Coppa D'Africa, e i londinesi, dopo lo "sblocco" del Tas possono procedere a rafforzare l'organico che, per un mesetto, perderà pezzi pregiati tra i quali il fuoriclasse ivoriano Drogba.

Lack lustre performance at West Ham spells alarm bells for Chelsea diamond

bridge views 21 December @ 12:35 PM EDT

Normally being top of the table at Christmas with a record points lead would be seen as a good thing. And I guess it is. But things, especially in football, are rarely that simple, and widening chinks in Chelsea's armour raise a real concern that a golden opportunity to reclaim the title might not come to fruition.

Chelsea confirm Essien out for three to four weeks!

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 09 December @ 06:11 PM EDT
Today Chelsea have confirmed the worst possible news for the short term, that Michael Essien will be out for three to four weeks after tearing his hamstring. This is sad news for Michael first of all with the African Nations cup on the horizon in January, but for us Chelsea fans its a major blow as we look to get our form back on track starting this weekend against Everton.

Fabregas thinks Chelsea are average without Drogba - and he could be right

bridge views 09 December @ 12:17 PM EDT

As if just to antagonise Chelsea fans, Fabregas was widely quoted yesterday as saying Chelsea would be merely an average side were it not for Didier Drogba.
Having watched his side's defence get pummelled by the Ivorian just over a week ago, you can perhaps understand Fabregas' comments.
