Jose Mourinho issued a remarkable come and get me plea to Premier League sides last night after seeing hisReal Madrid side beat Sevilla 1-0 victory in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg last night.

Speaking after the game Mourinho said:

"I've decided to return to England.

The kiss of death.

Nightmares of 2007.

Grossly disappointing. I'm actually kind of pissed off, not just with the way we conceded another late leveler against Aston Villa, either. That's the same Aston Villa who have done fuck all over the past month or so (kind of like us).

Croatian International, Nico Krancar, 26, looks likely to leave Tottenham in January after the club stated that a bid of around 9 million would be accepted...

Still like Salomon and Nic over this young lad, Carlo?

Yeah, you probably do. Dammit.

Everton's South African International winger Steven Pienaar, will become a free agent in the summer, and if that happens he will have lots of top clubs after him.

The Sypnosis

"I'm a fan of Chelsea. Chelsea are the only team that can play. Chelsea players have by far the most impressive reproductive organs. Stamford Bridge is my church. The men who play there are my Gods.

Now that the transfer window is open, lots of managers are looking to strengthen their squads. Managers like Everton's David Moyes seem typical; he's looking to sign a striker, having repeatedly bemoaned his team's lack of ability to finish in front of goal, most recently after the away draw at West Ham.

I was reading a quote from Carlo Ancelotti after he was asked about the financial power that Manchester City have these days and the squad's United and Arsenal have and it got me thinking like the rest of you. Carlo said:

"I think that in this moment it is clear. Manchester City are spending a lot of money because they needed to improve their squad, they were not so good in the past and they use a lot of money to compete with other teams.

Last week Tottenham clinched a deal for former Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar, and much was said about the South African's decision to choose White Hart Lane over a move to defending champions Chelsea. Despite the rumors of Roman Abramovich cutting back on his outlays, manager Carlo Ancelotti insists Pienaar was not top priority for the Blues.

Here's a great Third Eye clip from Soccer AM -- Carlo Ancelotti was in attendance at Stamford Bridge for the Chelsea U-18 team's FA Youth Cup match against Arsenal when he found out that being Carlo Ancelotti does not trump the writing on an old woman's ticket.

Last week, Chelsea Coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to take in a FA Youth Cup match featuring Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, for Ancelotti, but fortunately for us, the Italian figured he could sit any seat he so desired; however, he chose the seat of an elderly Arsenal fan who was not having any of it:

Chelsea's big win against Bolton Wanderers last Monday give a much more valid prove that the Blues are finally getting back into their old self, with the striking department start to click their engine once again the other part of the team looked more secured.

However, aside from applauding the improvement that his squad are making, the club's tactician, Carlo Ancelotti, still plan to add the defensive reinforcement he has been planning since the winter and the tactician confirmed that David Luiz is their new target.

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti spoke of "turning corners" and of having brought to an end a "difficult moment which went on too long", following their much-needed victory over Bolton Wanderers. The Blues won in a one-sided affair at the Reebok Stadium with unanswered goals from Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, Nicolas Anelka and Ramires, and the result marks the first time that they have won back-to-back Premier League wins since the end of October.

A repeat of last season's 7-1 romp at the Bridge? Don't count on it. Hell, right now, I'll take a stoppage time goal of the most outrageous variety, off an ass, whatever.

Preferably from the Honey Monster, though.

Happy New Year's.

Robert is back. Happy New Year indeed.

Now, give us a win Carlo.

The year 2010 will always be remembered as the year that Chelsea won their first ever historic double!. It was a remarkable achievement in Carlo Ancelotti's first season as our manager. Chelsea were fantastic and played the kind of football that Roman Abramovich had craved for a long time.
We have had our ups and downs, have some established names leave the club, and made a signing.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti's job is on the line after seen his team drawing 3-3 at home to EPL strugglers Aston Villa after late drama at the Bridge.

Goddamnit.

I don't want to say my expectations were high. They certainly weren't. But there was a belief nestled inside my beautiful skull that there would be something to grab hold of today at Stamford Bridge. Some concrete evidence that would suggest we were on the mend and on the up.

Just when things seems to start going well again for Chelsea, the London club once again left disappointed last weekend after dropping more points from the teams above them in the league after Carlo Ancelotti's boys failed to secure the three point against Aston Villa.

Despite getting a 3-2 lead with just a few minutes left in the clock, the Blues bottled their lead and gave away a late equalizer in injury time which left the Italian coach bitter, claiming the absentees in defense were one of the important aspect that cost the the three points.

So I'm doing my daily scout of footballing news and I come across this: Chelsea can still win title says boss Ancelotti - I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this Carlo, but no, it's just not going to happen...

After Chelsea drew at home to Aston Villa 3-3 Carlo mentioned in his post match interview that Chelsea had a chance:

"It's not over because we are improving and I think we can still have a say on the season," said Ancelotti.

A rubbish rumour only a few weeks ago now appears an actual possibility. You have to be kidding me.

Shipping out this month?

Take a look at the photograph that accompanies yesterday's recap of the Aston Villa match. On the surface it appears a galvanizing moment.

Didier Drogba has given an interview on Chelsea's recent form featured in The Telegraph on his own battles, the mood in the Chelsea dressing room and has given a message to the Chelsea fans. He said:

"Chelsea's current position compared to last season is actually very similar but maybe our injuries and less goals have brought about a negative mood, In the last weeks Carlo Ancelotti has been unhappy — and the squad, too.

The season is still pretty much at halfway but Chelsea's recent unconvincing run seems to give their coach, Carlo Ancelotti, a little doubt regarding their chances in retaining the premiership title this season.

Although the Italian coach isn't preparing to surrender their title as just yet but Ancelotti seems preparing for the worse especially since the current situation showed that the performances of his players are a step below their potential, not to mention injury problems that have been troubling them this season.

Another must-win. Fancy that.

Hey, it's Borini.

Mick McCarthy spoke ahead of the game tonight and of Chelsea. He said:

"Everyone will be tipping Chelsea to turn their season around, and that suits me fine. Chelsea should beat Wolverhampton Wanderers. Surely that is a fact of the league. I'm not suggesting for one minute that they will, and if that heaps a little bit more on them, then happy days.

According to Chelsea's official website, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted that he would like to bring in a player this transfer window. Ancelotti said,

"We are not desperate ... If everything stays okay, without injuries, then we will be able to fight back for the title without any new players .

Business needs to be taken care of.

The end appears near.

Ladies, gents, we've reached a new low.

No MotM poll today. There is no need. And there are much more pressing matters to be addressed.

More dross. Included in the dross, a first loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux for the first time in decades.
