Isn't this a case of two plus two equals six here?? Surely the press have something better to do than to carry on with the ridiculous articles about Roman turning up the heat on AVB by attending training every day this week!
The next ridiculous rumour is that AVB is to be replaced by Fabio Capello "sooner rather than later"!

An anthology based on the Mark's writings for CFCnet and the legendary cfcuk fanzine, Chelsea Chronicles - volume one - captures in heartfelt, humorous, diary-format prose a period in Blues history when many fans couldn't quite believe what was going on at Stamford Bridge.

Pressure mounting on Villas-Boas at Chelsea - SI.com.

When Chelsea selected ex-Porto manager Andre Villas-Boas to be their new leader last summer, many fans were scratching their heads to figure out who he was, and why he was chosen, but people in the game however, had no reservations about his ability to lead the London club back to it's trophy winning ways, as he had led Porto to a treble winning season in 2011 with Portuguese League, Cup and Europa League triumphs.

More comments from Bruce Buck, this time he has confirmed once again the requirement of the Chelsea manager from above. He said:

"You want to win trophies – we have started to do that. You want to win them creatively – we have done some of that and want to do more. We like the entertaining approach.

Year after year, The Guardian writers predict any team but Manchester United will win the league, which means every year I get to write an article ripping them apart. It was most enjoyable when they believed that Luiz Scolari's Chelsea would pip us to the title, only for him to get sacked in February when four points behind United despite playing two games more, and United going on to win the league.

I was reading this article by Jason Burt in The Telegraph and it really got me thinking. The article talks about the deal for Romelu Lukaku and others but moves onto to discuss the situation regarding the new manager at the club.
It's believed that Guus Hiddink is he preferred choice to come back to the club, but Abramovich is keeping two other options open to him in Jose Mourinho and Mark Hughes BUT, with a different strategy altogether as far as a contract offer goes.

Of course you are all reading articles everywhere on the situation we find ourselves in after the announcement yesterday. For the most part, it seems the focus of the media and press this morning is on a key point in the statement released by the club to the press. The point I am referring to is:

This season's performances have fallen short of expectations and the club feels the time is right to make this change ahead of next season's preparations.

Our matches against the blue team from Manchester have now become some of the biggest games for me. Carlo Ancelotti has not managed a win against them yet. They're one of the teams in our way as we strive to secure a guaranteed Champions League place.

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Ronaldinho reached an agreement with AC Milan to officially end his contract with the Italian club on Thursday, clearing the way for his to return to Brazil. Ronaldinho did not announce his new club, however, and three Brazilian clubs remain in contention to sign the two-time FIFA player of the year [.

Carlo spoke ahead of tonight's game and has openly admitted that he is a lucky man to still have a job at Chelsea. He said:

‘I am a lucky man, I understand that a lot of coaches are sacked with results like these. Sunderland was an important game but the main one for losing confidence was Birmingham.
