Well it's another week and another massive game coming up for our football club (Chelsea are 1.63
in Champions League betting to progress to the quarterfinals). As expected, the press are out for
AVB's neck once again after another rubbish performance at the weekend but as yet it hasn't
happened and he is still here.

Much like the first-string's executive decision to stop playing after 45 minutes, it seems like
the Chelsea media bods also forgot to bring their 'A' game at the Bridge yesterday...
I distinctly hope that someone in the club's marketing department was flogged with barbed wire
until the first light of dawn for this grave dereliction of duty.
A record 88 teams will play in Madison United's 19th annual President's Cup indoor soccer
tournament this weekend.
And it looks like a record that won't be broken – unless event organizers decide to make a
significant format change or expand to a third facility.

Chelsea lost tonight 3-1 away in Naples in a strange game that literally was end to end. After a
difficult start, Chelsea nicked an away goal after a bobble on a dodgy pitch found Juan Mata who
calmly slotted the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.
With that you'd expect Chelsea to keep their shape try and remain solid and compact but it never
happened.
Saturday's game against Bolton has now turned into a massive game for our club. The manager is
under pressure, certain players are under pressure and as for us Chelsea fans, we are sitting here
dreading what's going to happen next aren't we. Who would have thought that Bolton at home would
become such a pivotal game in our season?
It's YET ANOTHER game we simply cannot afford to drop points in. Bolton have nothing really to lose
and everything to gain and for Chelsea and AVB, a draw or defeat would pile more and more pressure
on us in the battle to finish fourth.
Looking back to the game at The Reebok earlier in the season, Chelsea were on a high and playing
fast, flowing, attacking football scoring five.
