Yes, no, maybe, no, no, yes, no, yes, maybe, maybe, yesI want nothing more than to break down the injury situation this week in a clear and useful fashion. I'm afraid that I won't be able do it though. There are so many injuries to so many high-profile players - and so many questions hanging around the extent of some of these injuries - that I know I'm going to miss something.

When we last left Chelsea they had just beaten Manchester United to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points and everything looked great at the Bridge.

Then the injury big hit. First came the news that right-back Jose Bosingwa is out for three months after knee surgery.

I wish Arteta was fit so I could replace Lampard with an absolute on the ball genius
This international break has not been meaningless by any means- in fact, it's been quite exciting as Nic Anelka gave France a 1-0 lead over Ireland, and former Fantasy Premier League stars Obafemi Martins (Nigeria) and Amr Zaki (Egypt) got their countries one step closer to South Africa as well.

Just a few short weeks ago, Chelsea appeared the strongest team at least squad-wise in the English top flight. How quickly things can change.

Following this weekend's international break, the list of those on the treatment table has grown exponentially and not simply from lining up for their respective countries.

Butt Buddies
Chelsea's captain Frank Lampard picked up a thigh injury while training today and will be out of England's friendly with Brazil this weekend.
Lampard has been a hot topic for us this season - he started off incredibly slow, but then finally scored from open play a few weeks ago and has been on fire ever since. Click to continue reading...

At the start of the season, Arsene Wenger's young Gunners were written off as title challengers by many analysts and TV pundits. Some even argued that the new Manchester City powerhouse would take over Arsenal at the top of the table.

It was an easy assumption to make as City made news every day during the transfer window.

Cristiano Ronaldo

This is not the kind of erotic foot massage I had in mind. ... It is kind of relaxing, though. Putting me to sleep faster than one of Iker's stories. ... If Portugal tries to make me play I'm just going to cry and maybe pee my pants a little bit. They can't make me play with a hurt ankle, tear-stained cheeks, and a the distinct smell of pee wafting from my pants, can they?

Bosingwa ruled out for three months
Via the official Web site: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that José Bosingwa underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this week. His recovery time will be approximately three months."

S***. At least we have an in-form Branislav Ivanovic to continue in his absent.

In following with this week's pattern of posting hilarious pictures, photoshopped or no, we bring you this marvelous offering from the Sun. Luckily, the accompanying interview is not half bad. Thanks to reader Chelsea for the heads up.

Jonny Evans v Didier Drogba, Tekken-style. Fat Ronaldo admits to fatness. (Dirty Tackle) Robinho is number one in Citeh hearts. (Unprofessional Foul) A history of Fergie and the rant. (Avoiding The Drop) Slovenia are eying the Russian upset. (Jonathan Wilson) The plight of the English manager. (Footy Factor) A very worthy transfer quiz. Click to continue reading...

From the United-Chelsea game on Sunday...

and then afterwards:

When I saw this in real-time I missed the first incident and only saw Drogba writhing on the floor. I was worried for a few seconds; regardless of Drogba's antics you don't want to see a professional footballer badly injured and I was worried he had suffered a spinal injury or something that could keep him out of the game for a long period of time.

The World Cup is almost set in terms of the teams that will qualify and once the play-offs are completed it will be clear whether the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Franck Ribery will be present or missing. In the meantime, Sweden's talented forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic will certainly not be going to the World Cup after his country failed to qualify from the same group which saw eventual winners Denmark earn automatic qualification and runners-up Portugal reach the play-offs.

Carlo Ancelotti has decided to name his starting 11 way ahead of the game tonight which is unusual and he has also taken the step of giving complete rest to John Terry, Petr Cech and Nicolas Anelka whereas Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and Didier Drogba will be on the bench. He said before tonight's game: "If I have the possibility to give rest to all the players who also have to play in their Click to continue reading...

Chelsea sealed qualification into the Champions League knockout stages with a 2-2 draw at Atletico with goals from Didier Drogba.

Will there ever be a Chelsea-Manchester United match-up that won't involve referee criticisms? Whenever Sir Alex and his side end up losing -- especially in a match with such stakes -- comments from the often critical Scotsman almost always lashes out at the ref shortly after the final whistle.

First thing's first, I'm not sure Johnny Evans did this intentionally. So I don't want this post to be all about him. But there's no doubt that his studs connected with Didier Drogba's chest during Man Utd's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea yesterday, and there's no doubt that said connection caused a great deal of pain.

"The Manchester players protested a lot. I don't know why. I don't like this."

Oh, the irony.

John Terry said he 'loved' Didier Drogba's disgraceful reaction to their result against Barcelona last season. Remember the one? He had to be dragged away from the referee before shouting "it's a fucking disgrace!

Chelsea's Didier Drogba is a man who has a beautiful ability to make headlines, be it good or bad. This weekend, he was the victim of a shocking tackle, no, make that assault from Manchester United's Johnny Evans. He then had the last laugh, darting across Edwin Van Der Sar in an offside position for John Terry's late goal.

Was Wes Brown fouled by Drogba?

Manchester United should feel hard done by. A fine display and they are right to feel aggravated. Jonny Evans and Wes Brown were terrific while Darren Fletcher was United's best player, but it wasn't to be their day, as John Terry's header deep in the second half was enough to send Chelsea five points clear.

Just before the game yesterday between Man United and Chelsea, when the team news came through and there was no Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic or Dimitar Berbatov in the starting line-up, I was worried. We were going to Stamford Bridge without three of our main players but at the end of the game, I was disappointed for a totally different reason. Click to continue reading...

Jonny Evans delivered a pretty brutal flying kung fu kick to Didier Drogba's chest, causing Drogba to drop to the ground and convulse like he just got tased. The reaction was a bit, uh, exaggerated, but Evans clearly deserved a red for trying to puncture his lung with his boot. Instead, Drogba's reputation (and spastic leg kicks) got him booked rather than Evans.
