Anxiety is mounting among Chelsea fans as to whether the club will offer their icon Didier
Drogba a new deal that would keep him at the bridge longer. Drogba's contract is set to run out
this summer and according to coach Andres Villas-Boas he is hopeful that Drogba will sign a new
contract with the club.
Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda has expressed relief at the club's recent back-to-back wins
over the Wolves and Portsmouth, and hopes that the Blues can continue to perform well.
A lack of stability has hindered the Blues' prospects of domestic success this season and with
Stamford Bridge not being the fortress it has been in recent years, Malouda admits that the team is
particularly concerned about the home form.
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis was interviewed by Fox on Sunday and he said that Arsenal
will never be able to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City in the transfer market
but believes Arsene Wenger's focus on developing young players is the correct way to run a football
club.
Don't just sit there Robin. Get a fourth
That's our first rout of the season. The first of which we won and not the other way around. You
can count the Chelsea game as one but then it was not as one sided as this was. Blackburn tormented
us the last time we met and this was sweet revenge being exacted.

No one knew what had happened as we were watching the ball slide off for a throw but
straightaway realised it was serious because both sets of physios dashed onto the field. The player
lay face down and still. I wondered out loud if the urgent attention paid to his head meant he had
swallowed his tongue but quickly he was on his back.

In which Manchester City goliath Yaya Toure is confronted, evidently for the first time, with
the loathsome phrase first proffered into the football lexicon by Sir Alex Ferguson and now
repeated ad nauseum by the Shearers and Dixons of this world 'squeaky bum time' grimly inferring
that the anxiety bought about one's footballing predicament is making one's sphincter twitch like a
bunny rabbit's nose.
TweetChelsea travel to the Estadio Da Luz to face Benfica in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions
League quarter-final clash with Benfica which, we admonish, could get messy for the Blues. "I think
there is an anxiety in Chelsea by the lack of goals from Torres and Drogba," so said Benfica winger
Nicolas Gaitan ahead [.
A lot of the luster for the Olympic Qualifiers this weekend in KC wore off on Monday night, when
the US drew 3-3 with El Salvador, knocking the Americans out of the tournament before they even got
to Kansas City. Instead this weekend in KC we're going to see Mexico, Canada, El Salvador, and
Honduras take the field in the semifinals on Saturday with the winners of those games meeting on
Monday night.
Selection fears for England internationals after Hodgson's arrival - originally posted on

The arrival of a new manager should bring fear and anxiety to players – but for all the right
reasons. Out with the old and in with the new, this is the time for players to impress the new
manager.
The weeks that have passed since Kenny Dalglish was dismissed from his role as manager have been
filled with anxiety, mostly brought about by the fact that all we've done and really all we can do
is wait. We waited to hear for the details of Dalglish's firing (which we never got), we waited to
hear what sort of plan the owners were executing in their search for a new manager and Sporting
Director (which we never got), and now, with Brendan Rodgers all but appointed, we're still waiting
for the club to officially confirm that he's the next Liverpool manager.
