Why Chelsea may be a Bridge too far for Cahill

Gary Cahill is set to go to Chelsea in January. But I'm not sure if he will be able to cope at the highest level in the Champions League­­­­­­­­­ and at a top-four team. Just look at Yakubu's goal for Blackburn against Bolton the other night to see proof of that.

I love watching Roma, and i hope Luis Enrique is given something most are not given in this society.The time to implement a vision and a standard.But in a world where results trump process the embattled Spaniard may find his vision is a bridge too far.In the city that gave the world the addage"Rome wasn't built in a day" The Guardian's Paolo Baldini gives us a perspective of what it must be like for the troubled Spaniard this Morning.

Just when Chelsea needed it most, Didier Drogba turned up and put in one of his best performances in a good couple of years to inspire his side to a 3-0 victory over Valencia at the Bridge last night, scoring two goals and filing an assist (for Ramires) to see the Blues comfortably and safely into the knockout phases of the Champions League in the process.

There was an incident that was missed by referee Mark Clattenburg during the first half of Chelsea's 2-1 win over Man City at the Bridge last night that has sparked a fair bit of debate in internet circles this morning, despite not really being mentioned in the national press, in which Yaya Toure both 'kicked' ('nudged' being a fairer assessment) Juan Mata as he sat on the turf then slapped the Spaniard around the head for good measure a few minutes later.

Just a few hours after getting done over by Chelsea at the Bridge, Man City celebrated their Christmas party just down the road at the Anaya nightclub in Mayfair.

Sadly, there were no Azerbaijani cults, Bengal tigers or Dwarf darts on the night just a good ol' fashioned fancy dress theme and, as with most fancy dress parties, some of the guests went all out (Joe Hart, Owen Hargreaves, etc) and some skirted by on bits and bobs nabbed from their kids' bedrooms at the last minute (Edin Dzeko).

Arsene Wenger has admitted that he can't find a solution to Arsenal's defensive injuries within the squad as the busy Christmas period arrives, and thinks that playing his centre-backs out of position will only make the problems worse and will reduce their attacking options as well.

Why I can't understand Bridge wasting his talent when he should be playing

For the first time in 19 years I won't be playing professional football over Christmas. No more tiny nibbles of turkey because you're training in the afternoon. No more refusing a glass of champagne with your lunch.

If you're a Blues fan, this just hasn't been a good month. Draw Spurs and now you are in 4th looking up at Man City... Then, despite 12 shots on goal, you can only find the back of the net once (thanks Torres for missing yet again), as Dempsey scores his 9th of the season to pull back a point for Fulham at the Bridge no less.

How many times this season have we looked like we can beat anyone and then in an instant struggle to win games?. It's so frustrating once again this season and Saturday against Fulham proved to me once again that when sides come to the Bridge and line up defensively, we struggle to break them down.
