Bad news for Blues fans... Michael Essien may not be seen in a Chelsea uniform until next
season.
Essien has been sidelined since he tore his hamstring against APOEL in a Champions League match
last December, followed by a knee injury at African Nations Cup. Since sustaining the injuries,
Essien has had a rough go at rehab and can be considered doubtful for the rest of the English
Premier League season.
As usual I was looking around the net and came across one of the best articles I read this season
from Mark Worral on the CFCNet website. This article along with our double success has prompted me
to write the following apology to "King Carlo".
If you have been a follower of my blog you will know that at different times this season, for me

what I believe Carlo Ancelotti

Atlético Madrid under manager Abel Resino. His team had just
secured 4th place in the league and a return to the UEFA Champions League a place where arguably
Spain's third biggest club belong. However, in recent times success has all too easily eluded them
and their reputation as underachievers lives on.
Is this the worst non-penalty award ever? I honestly cannot work out the logic. In the last few
moments of their Greek league match, Thiago of AEP Paphos was sent clear, trying to make the score
2-1 to his side. In attempting to round keeper Dionisis Chiotis of APOEL, and slot the ball home,

Taking Sides in Cyprus is a post from: Just Football
APOEL FC and Omonia - two very different sides of the
rather unheralded but no less shiny coin that is Cypriot football. But why are they always at
loggerheads? Returning to Just Football, Greg Theoharis
explains:
It's Party Conference season in the UK and the assembled media outlets have been bombarding us
all with whether or not Labour will ditch the ‘New' and lurch back to the Left with the election
of Ed Miliband as Party Leader.
