I am as Chelsea as they come, have supported this club from as early as I can remember to where I
am now (38 years old) and cannot stand Manchester United as much as they probably can't stand
Chelsea, but putting all feelings to one side, we have to acknowledge not only what he has achieved
in the game, but how he's done it.
Might the prodigal son finally be on the mend? More, after the jump:
Back in Blue
You might remember Michael Essien. You might not. Either way, dude is back in action, getting
his first run in some months as he works his way back to fitness with the reserves.
29.06.2011 - El clásico más esperado de la 6º fecha llegó con goleada:

Didier Drogba is featured in an interview here speaking once again of Chelsea's form and the need
