The end of the season has seen Chelsea fans left in limbo as it were. There can be no classification of it as a successful campaign or a failure until Saturday, where glory or ignominy awaits. Obviously was there not a Champions League final for us this weekend, we would have little choice other than [...]

I have to say that I REALLY enjoyed last Saturday despite the fright they gave us in the last twenty minutes. The desperation to win it oozed from every pore from the Liverpool fans – even those making an attempt at bravado had that haunted look behind the mask of nonchelance. Both teams had to [...]

Just don’t wake me up OK? It’s like there’s a Chelsea genie who not only grants each of my wishes but in an even better way than I could dare ask for! “You want to beat Tottenham? We will humiliate Tottenham!!”; “you want to make it to the Champions League Final? You will not only [...]

The team selection against Arsenal demonstrated once and for all (had confirmation been necessary) where the priority for this season lies. Eight changes from the team that faced Barcelona had me fearing the worst but we managed to nullify the threat of Van Persie and without him on song, Arsenal have very little else to [...]

Losing to Tottenham last weekend was just unthinkable – the rivalry is such that a loss would have been completely unacceptable and what with the current table positions, we Chelsea supporters badly needed the victory. Tottenham fans too were desperate for the win – their season is beginning to implode and a win for them [...]

The players [...]

When Torres scored that 4th goal last Saturday it somehow felt different to the other (few) goals he has scored for us. It wasn’t “lucky”, it wasn’t laid on a plate, it wasn’t hesitant – it was instinctive and that’s why for me it looked like the goal that will finally ignite his Chelsea career. [...]

It all had the air of an end of season game where neither team had anything to play for – certainly not two bitter rivals battling for the one remaining Champions League place. Although Tottenham had the better chances to score, they were really no better than us & both teams were laid bare – [...]

I hope AVB was watching the home leg against Napoli and I hope he finally understood why he ultimately failed at Stamford Bridge. There are those that would question the morals of some of the players, but the simple facts are these – Villas Boas destroyed team spirit, showed a lack of respect to some [...]

So since AVB’s sacking we have had two wins with no goals conceded. But this isn’t a vindication of anything, as these results were against a Championship side and a mid-table Premiership side reduced to 10 men. The performances could best be described as “average” although at the moment I expect that is the best [...]
