Buy a few more physios Roman, it looks like Chelsea are headed for yet another injury crisis. Deco (thigh) & Carvalho (knee) have been missing for a month, Joe Cole (gashed head (old) and ankle problem (new)) and Didier Drogba (knee) are short of fitness, and word coming out of the England camp suggests that John Terry (back) and Ashley Cole (hamstring) have been ruled out of The Three Lions' World Cup qualifier versus Belarus.

OLD RED NOSE STRIKES AGAIN AND THE TWO ABOVE ARE MUCH PRETTIER Seriously does having SIR before your name give you carte blanche to berate everybody that makes a decision that first was wrong and then the wrong was made right. Case in example - John Terry's sending-off against Man City on Saturday night. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea's loveable thug and England's Brave John Terry has been let off his Red Card received against Manchester City on Saturday. He is now free to face Manchester United on Sunday.

This is probably fair enough to be honest, although it was a cynical professional foul there was plenty of cover from the outstanding Carvalho and Boswinga as the foul was made.

Chelsea defeated Manchester City 3-1 as the brilliance of human innovation and skill did not prevail over a well oiled footballing machine that further established its dominance in the Premier League with ruthless efficiency. It's clear that Manchester City still have a lot more players to buy(already questions must be asked of Manager Mark Hughes in having Stephen Ireland starting ahead of Elano)and more time to develop team chemistry.

According to the latest news in the London Times, Chelsea are planning to make a world record signing of Kaka from A.C. Milan. To me thats Kaka. With the amount of money they are going to spend on 1 player who may still be in his prime, but also is nearing the end of it, they could be rebuilding the entire squad for the multiple campaigns that they have to mount in England and Europe.

Ricardo Carvalho was looking nailed-on to stay at Stamford Bridge this summer, especially after Chelsea were kind enough to appoint his manager at international level. However, his future appears to be less clear after coming out with a statement that might make Roman Abramovich choke on his 'Golden Grahams' at the breakfast table. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday, we reported that Ricardo Carvalho was being philosophical about his Chelsea future, with rumours linking him to Jose Mourinho and Internazionale. Not any more. The swift appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge has seen 'Ricky' become one of the most loyal players on the books all of a sudde, his future was [. Click to continue reading...

Big Phil was handed the sideline seat as the new Chelsea coach today, with an announcement on the club's website filled with pomp and circumstance - as you can see to the left. (There's no link behind that either.)

Big Phil will be stepping down as the coach of Portugal, a position he's held for 5 years, at the end of the tournament to take over a freaking dream job for a coach with a transfer kitty which could rival the GDP of a small nation, and a defensive line featuring some of his current hands (Carvalho, Ferreira and recent signee, Boswinga).

You have to laugh at the circumstances surrounding Chelsea's announcement today of Luiz Felipe Scolari as their new manager. Hey, it's not like Big Phil's Portugal side were playing in a major tournament or anything. The statement the Premier League and Champions League runners-up released today was highly comical.

They say defense wins championships. So does that mean that they're going to have to cancel the rest of Euro 2008? Well, just look at the teams who've impressed thus far in Switzerland/Austria.

Most will agree that, through the first round of games, Germany, Holland, and Spain looked like the three best squads. Click to continue reading...

While John Terry gets most of the defensive plaudits from UK-based newspapers, who like to describe the whinging toddler as a warrior, hero and lots of other ridiculous things, one of the main reason why Chelsea are so stout at the back is down to Ricardo Carvalho, his partner in crime. The Portuguese defender might [. Click to continue reading...

Euro 2008 is off to a rousing start. Rousing? Well, at least Greece lost. The first round of games have been completed, so let's take a look at how Chelsea players have faired thus far in Austria and Switzerland.

Jose Bosingwa
Our newest signing was undoubtedly our best performer through round 1.

The Special One correction: The Ordinary One was officially revealed as Inter Milan's brand spanking new manager today. He looked daiper as always, blurting out all kinds of smooth talk in a G'd up suit and tie.

However, there's this one part where he big ups himself like The Special One we know when asked if he would be seeking to sign some of his former players from Chelsea.

Another day, another candidate for Chelsea's vacant coachcing position. While it may seem that every coach in Europe is rumoured to be considering a move to Stamford Bridge, the Telegraph reports that one man high on Chelsea's wish-list will CERTAINLY not move to the club.

...To nab all their players! The Times reports that the slick Portugeezer will be named manager of Inter Milan shortly, and after he rattles off some choice egg-related epigrams to the bemused Italian press, he will no doubt begin the task of bringing in some new faces to boost Inter's already obese squad.

A penalty shoot-out is the sort of thing that separates the men from the boys. As a player, do you put your name forward as someone who can beat the keeper from twelve yards, or do you instead hide behind Frank Lampard and hope nobody notices you? It appears that there were a few shirkers [...] Click to continue reading...

The official club website reports that the next Chelsea spending spree has started already. Rather than continue to get the very best out of the existing squad, it's all about throwing money at the cause to ensure that the Blues wrest the Premier League title back from the hands of Manchester United.

When John Terry broke his foot against Arsenal in December, many were forecasting that Chelsea would struggle to last the pace in his absence. However, the Blues have done well without the likes of their captain, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. What's more, Sky Sports are reporting that 'JT' is hopeful of returning against Huddersfield [.

The Sun is reporting that Ricardo Carvalho has apologised for his feral, rabid two-footed wildman tackle on Gabby Agbonlahor in the 4-4 thriller at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Carvalho said: "It was never my intention to hurt Gabriel. I was going for the ball. I don't want people to think I tried to hurt another player. Click to continue reading...

Group A
Portugal can do themselves a huge favor by winning at Azerbaijan. The Portuguese appear to be playing with fire after throwing away opportunities to assure themselves an early qualification with three consecutive draws in their last three group dates, two of those being home ties. They are plagued with injury with Jorge Andrade, Marco Caneira, Petit, Hélder Postiga, João Tomás and Pepe out as well as Tiago, who is suspended, but should have plenty, including the return of Ricardo Carvalho, to get the three points.

- Vowing that he'll make a swift return, Jose Mourinho might soon end up in Portugal as Luiz Scolari's replacement. The 58-year-old Brazilian has received a four match ban from UEFA for his spat with Serbia and Sevilla defender Ivica Dragutinovic and will miss the rest of his side's qualifying matches. The Portugal manager is planning on appealing the decision, but nevertheless an emergency meeting will be held by the Portuguese Soccer Federation to discuss the future of the former World Cup winning boss.
