After our dismal performance on Tuesday night and as a result elimination from the Champions League the rumour mill has well and truly got into full swing. Again, the age of Chelsea's squad has come into focus as Roman Abramovich is once again set (as reported) to ring the changes at Chelsea.
If you remember when Roman came to the club he appointed Peter Keynon soon after.

Footballers are a talented bunch (on the field anyway) and this compilation shows that the ol' goal guarders can hit it like the rest of em!

6 First goal (and best) of the 2006 World Cup goes to German defender Philip Lahm.

7 Great goal from Steve Finnan of all people as he salvages a point for Ireland

8 -Scorching free kick from the Chelsea defender Alex to put Chelsea in control against Liverpool in the Champions League

9.

Here are some of the reports on the net leading up to tomorrows game:
Jose Reveals Sub Standard Blues
Jose questions whether Chelsea are a strong team
Inter desperare to stop the rot against Chelsea
No love as Jose aims to knock Chelsea out of Europe
Ancelotti, No problem with Jose (Monday)
Inter training sessions updated
Jose's domestic ban
Alex, Belletti and Lampard fly out with squad of 20
All of Italy will cheer Chelsea: Ancelotti
Cech understands Jose's mind games

When watching Manchester City's fantastic 4-2 Victory away to league leaders Chelsea, one thing was paramount in that game and it wasn't Wayne Bridge V John Terry, Two red cards, Manchester City's flowing football, Shay Given's commanding goal keeping or Roberto Mancini's great man management and control of the game.

Bring it home.

Teams
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard,
Ballack, Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka. Subs: Hilario, Joe Cole, Zhirkov, Paulo Ferreira, Sturridge, Matic, Belletti.

Wigan: Pollitt, Melchiot, Gohouri, Caldwell, Figueroa, Boyce,
McCarthy, Watson, Diame, N'Zogbia, Rodallega.

While discussing the openness of the title race as predicted by Arsene, my thoughts were that the year end table will look like United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, City, and doesn't matter after that. But I wanted to wait till the end of the transfer window before making my predictions for the season.

He wins and he's slated. He loses and he's feted. I don't get Avram Grant.

It all began when his buddy decided to give him a job. Fortunately for Avram, that buddy was a billionaire Russian oligarch with a football club to spare. The media were not amused:

"Make one thing clear: there is nothing in Grant's professional CV that qualifies him for a job as intricate and demanding as this.

Well I called for a fresh start to the new year and a good performance and that's exactly what we got!. From the moment Danny Sturridge nipped in at the far post to prod the ball home we all knew we were right on the money and Watford knew they were in for a long afternoon.
Within 30 mins we were 3-0 up and cruising and we were playing flowing football.

With the African players away on national duty oh! How? ooh! How? Would Chelsea manage to stay adrift? I mean look at that line up it "only" starts – Cech, Ivanovic, A Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Belletti, Lampard, J Cole, Ballack, Malouda, Anelka. In way I guess it explains how they managed to score "only" 7 eh?

Saturday, 30th January 2010

Kick Off : 17:30 GMT

Venue : Turf Moor, Burnley

The English Premier League game between Burnley and Chelsea will be played at Turf Moor on Saturday 30th January at 5:30 PM.

This afternoon Chelsea take on Wolves away in what will be no easy game as Carlo Ancelotti had to contend with a squad to choose from with Seven players out. With one eye on Inter Milan in the week Carlo has a decision to make. Does he field his best available eleven or does he hold back and play a weakened side that he still believes will get the job done and three points?

Joe Cole set to start
The last few weeks have been not so good for Chelsea having seen us lose the top spot to Arsenal first and then to Manchester United. Even though we have games in hand over our rivals, it is always better to be having points on the table rather than games in hand. So, Birmingham are the next visitors to the Bridge and it gives Chelsea a chance to go second in the table knowing that Manchester United won't be playing a midweek league match due to the involvement in the small matter, that is a league cup semi-final between Manchester City.

Moment of truth ...

Teams
Chelsea
Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Alex, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka.
Subs: Hilario, Joe Cole, Zhirkov, Paulo Ferreira, Deco, Sturridge, Belletti.

Liverpool
Reina, Mascherano, Kyrgiakos, Carragher, Agger, Gerrard, Lucas, Maxi, Aquilani, Benayoun, Kuyt.

A Alemanha sofreu uma baixa importante nesta segunda-feira para a disputa Copa do Mundo, na África do Sul. Michel Ballack, capitão da seleção, foi examinado nesta manhã e foi constatada uma grave lesão no tornozelo.
O exame que foi feito em Munique mostrou que Ballack rompeu os ligamentos do tornozelo direito.

By Saf Hossain, writing from London

Remember when Chelsea were placed under a transfer ban? Well, things might have been different if that ban had been upheld. As it is, Messrs Cole, Belletti and Ballack will be looking for a new team for next season - though it's probably a good bet that they won't have to look too hard.

For weeks now there has been rumour and speculation about who would be coming to Chelsea in the summer and after the World Cup. We have been linked with the likes of Kaka, Ramos, Silva, Schweinsteiger, Milner, Benayoun and Fernando Torres.
We know that Ballack, Joe Cole and Belletti are leaving the club with possibly more to be announced before the season kicks off again.

Just about two weeks ago now Chelsea announced that three players – Juliano Belletti, Michael Ballack and Joe Cole – would not have their contracts renewed and would be leaving the club. Speculation suggests that, regardless of the amounts Chelsea are (or are not) willing to shell out on new players, it is going to be a summer of change at Stamford Bridge.

Are Chelsea becoming a selling club? Just days after confirmation that Cole, Ballack and Belletti would be leaving the club, it has also been announced that Miroslav Stoch would also be leaving the club. He joins Fenerbahce on a 4 year contract after Chelsea agreed an undisclosed fee.
Stoch made his Chelsea debut against Arsenal when then manager, Scolari gave him the chance to impress in the last 10 minutes.

As much as I enjoy that, by now quite old, bit of word play in the title, it was Chelsea who played like a steaming pile of you know what on Saturday. The losing score line of 1-0, away at City is not exactly to start an inquisition, but it did raise a number of questions.

Felizmente terminado el mundial, toca volver a la Premier y actualizarla con los pocos fichajes que los equipos han hecho desde que se terminase la temporada con la final de la F.A.Cup que el Chelsea se llevo frente al sorprendente Portsmouth. Precisamente los blues, uno de los grandes animadores del mercado veraniego, llevan un par de años siendo muy comedidos.
