Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
CFC Match/Match Comparison 2010-11/2011-12: -2pts 71-2 = 69 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 8.6 So much for our easy run, from which we have managed: 3 draws, 2 wins and a celebrated defeat. That’s nine points from what ought to have been eighteen. In short Villas-Boas has recorded one less point from those “easy” fixtures than [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 7.0 71+/-0 = 71 points There remains one game left of our easy run, from which to date we have extracted: two draws, two scrappy wins and a classic Chelsea collapse at Villa Park. That’s eight points from what ought to have been fifteen. From the run of fixtures that probably went [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 7.1 71-1 = 70 points Well, that was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it? On Monday it looked as if villas-Boas had finally arrived at what his best starting XI was. After the trip to Wigan we are left facing the “Monkey-with-typewriter-eventually-writing-Shakespeare” scenario: perhaps he hadn’t worked it out at all; perhaps [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 4.9 71+1 = 72 points A much brighter outlook than only 14 days ago. Horror fortnight negotiated and we only lost the one that most of us would have traded for the other results, if we’d been asked at the start. That pretty much guarantees third place Beat Spurs and Wigan we [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71-1 = 70 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 9.9 Well there were some positives to be taken from the Liverpool game: we managed to finish two league games in a row with eleven players. Now there’s an achievement, for a start. Notwithstanding that accomplishment, this is a fully fledged blip, with the needle going, [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71-1 = 70 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 9.5 70-points means fourth. If we are lucky. We have already lost three games out of 10 (including our only two against “Contenders”). That is not the stuff of champions. Well, well, well, welcome the Chelsea Football Club, André, where you can never stray too far from the [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71+2 = 73 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 0.5 Almost time to talk about putting the Blip-O-Meter back into the Chelsea Museum. The only worry at them moment is our apparent inability to keep a clean sheet (Memo to Villas-Boas: Bosingwa can’t, or won’t, head the ball). The first time we have actually picked up [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71+0 = 71 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 2.5 The phoney war is now officially over. No more bomber missions dropping propaganda leaflets – The planes have been loaded with high explosives. To let us know that last night was officially “The First Day Of The Chelsea Future” we saw something that we cannot [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71+0 = 71 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 5.5 Welcome the Chelsea Football Club, André, where you can take nothing for granted. One up against newly promoted cannon-fodder ought to mean a relaxing afternoon basking in golden late-summer sunshine. Not at Stamford Bridge, it doesn’t. It is not so much the fact that we appear [...]
Chelsea Blip-O-Meter Reading
71+0 = 71 points Chelsea Blip-O-Meter reading: 5.0 Normally we don’t need to remove Blip-O-Meter from its revered position in the Chelsea Museum’s main Display Cabinet until the season is at least a quarter completed. This year, no sooner had we given it a good polish ahead of the season-starter away at Stoke City, when [...]
