The game last week was just what the doctor ordered, however there were a couple of things to take into consideration as room for improvement. Demba Ba Demba Ba had a day to forget. He missed 2 one on ones with Jaaskelainen, one poked 8 yards wide when he lacked the confidence to get closer… Continue Reading

The Glorious Positives Of Victory Against West Ham United
Frank Lampard’s header from an exquisite chipped pass by Eden Hazard brought up his 200th goal for Chelsea: an astonishing feat by any measure. He is within 3 goals of breaking Bobby Tambling’s record and has rightly received the plaudits he deserves for a phenomenal personal milestone. He found time to put Ba clean through… Continue Reading
Final Word on Steau Bucharest
You know your luck’s in when Juan Mata scores with his swinger by semi-nutmegging the goalkeeper and the ball dribbles, almost ashamed of itself, across the line. Despite Steaua’s sucker punch equaliser with the last kick of the first half, a John Terry header and a winner on the night and in the tie from… Continue Reading
Chelsea v Manchester United – We Retain Our Grip On The Trophy For Now After Storming Comeback!
Chelsea’s grip on the FA Cup remains intact, after a rousing response to early adversity.

The Bucharest Debacle – Thoughts, Analysis, Inquest!
The best thing I can say about this game is we didn’t turn up and only lost 1-0 to a very ordinary that side that we should, on paper, overcome at Stamford Bridge. The surface left a bit to be desired but the collective Blues’ performance smacked of utter disinterest and a lack of pride,… Continue Reading
Final Reaction: Chelsea v West Brom – We Murdered Them 1-0
After all the hyperbole in the build up to this game, this was ultimately a relatively comfortable victory for the Blues. The anti-Benitez backlash was moderate and generally more good humoured than most pundits anticipated, particularly in the banners: “we’re not that In Ter Im”, a personal favourite Most of all, the support for the… Continue Reading
The Manchester City Horror Show!
Our 47th game of the season was a tactical and technical horror show. Our 4th straight defeat at the Etihad will linger long in the memory. For all the wrong reasons. The best Chelsea brought to the Etihad lay in the stands, by way of our magnificent support, not on the pitch. We mustered a… Continue Reading
Final Reaction – Chelsea v Brentford
Notwithstanding the opposition was from League One, once the first goal was scored, the result was never in doubt in this game, as Chelsea ran out comfortable and deserved 4-0 winners. The Blues dominated territory and possession in the first half but were unable to make it count. Ivanovic and Ba both headed… Continue Reading
Sparta Prague – Final Thoughts & Player Analysis
We won and our travelling support was magnificent. That’s the best I can see about this performance. Chelsea’s first game in the Europa League ended in victory against a Sparta Prague side that had not played a competitive fixture in over 2 months. In truth, this was a tepid display by the Blues who seemed… Continue Reading
Final Thoughts On Wigan – Nervy and Unconvincing!
After 4 successive away games and no wins, the Blues returned to Stamford Bridge with a victory, albeit with a slightly flattering scoreline. Once again despite a 2 goal lead, we did not put the game to bed. Whilst Wigan’s attacking potency diminshed in the latter stages of the game, until Frank Lampard’s 198th Chelsea… Continue Reading
