A few eyebrows will doubtless be raised by Chelsea's decision to appoint an exotic continental manager with a poor grasp of English just six months after sacking an exotic continental manager with a poor grasp of English. Accusations were certainly cast about Luiz Felipe Scolari's ability to control the dressing room given his alarming accurate impression of an overweight Andrew Sachs in Fawlty Towers.

Ancelotti keen to use Bosingwa as part of Ribery deal.

Bayern Munich stepped up their pursuit of Jose Bosingwa and urged Chelsea to keep their word over allowing him to join them for about £15million.
The German giants dismissed claims Roman Abramovich was flying to Munich to try and sign Franck Ribery but insisted the Chelsea owner had agreed to discuss a deal for Bosingwa in the wake of Sunday's Community Shield success over Manchester United.

As I mentioned earlier, my father was at the Chelsea game this past Saturday. I had him write my a little guest blog, and as promised here it is.
I arrived at the Reebok in gentle late afternoon sunshine. No, that's not a joke. In fact, you can tell that the stadium was not built with sunshine in mind, since for the first half an hour or so I was there, it was shining directly into my eyes (at first I was so surprised by the unaccustomed glow I thought Wigan must be on fire – no such luck, however), making it hard to concentrate on the cheerleaders.
