Well What Can I Say?!?!!?
2007-04-12 19:30:00 Last update 18/3/07Seriously where has the days and time gone too!!!I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I last entered a post. And what an exciting time we as fans of Chelsea Football Club have had!!!Reached the semi-finals of the FA CupReached the semi-finals of the Champions League ONLY three points behind the Ure of ManUreand there is a distinct possibility of THREE, yes THREE meaningful meetings with ManUre in the space of 14 days which could see the Premiership title decided and two major Cup-Finals contested - one at Wembley and one in Athens.So lets recap and get back up to date.March 18th I posted goals of our victory of Sheff Utd at the Bridge, then on Monday 19th March we went to Tottenham and won 2-1 with two fantastic strikes by the Shev and SWP.After International break we played Watford at Vicarage Road and won 1-0 with a last gasp Salomon Kalou goal, then on the following Wednesday we played our first leg at home to Valencia in the Champions League a...

What A Week That Was!?!?!?!
2007-03-18 14:04:00 First there was the classic FA Cup draw with Tottenham after being 3-1 down, but really we should never have been 3-1 down in the first place.Then away to Man City a few days later and we win that with a Frank Lampard penalty and then yesterday beating Neil Warnock's Sheff Utd 3-0, giving Chelsea a SIXTH STRAIGHT Premierhip win, without conceding a goal.Then in between the games there has been a 'piranha' press feeding frenzy on the futures of Messrs Jose, JT and Frank Lampard. Michael Essien has no doubts about where he wants to be. He signed a new five year deal on Monday.But what about Jose? Jose has said time and time again that he WILL stay with the club until his contract expires in 2010. The press are saying that Jose will be sacked at the end of this season - whether he wins any more trophies or not!!!On Monday Chelsea travel to Tottenham for the cup replay and will be looking for a much better performance than the one they gave at Stamford Bridge over a week ago (at leas...

FA Cup
2007-03-12 20:04:00 Should Chelsea overcome Tottenham in next Monday's replay then Blackburn will be our semi-final opponents.It is highly unlikely that the venues for the semi-finals will be decided before the semi-final replays have been decided.If you saw the game yesterday as a neutral you must have felt that you were in football heaven - what a game, what a classic - two teams showing the world what English FA Cup football is all about. Who says the FA Cup is dead!!!As a Tottenham fan, you must be gutted that your team threw away a two goal, but judging the pre-match comments that I had read, you were going to Stamford Bridge in more expectation than hope.As a Chelsea fan, you are wondering what the hell happened for the Blues to be 3-1 down at half-time. 3 goals conceded in the first half at Stamford Bridge!!! It was a complete nightmare without taking anything away from Tottenham and their fans. All 6,000 + packed into The Shed!!!But we witnessed it, we saw it and come the half-time whistle - i...

Chelsea 2-1 Porto
2007-03-07 13:02:00 A great night at Stamford Bridge saw Chelsea overcome the challenge of FC Port o to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the third time in as many years.On current form, THE MOST unlikeliest hero was Michael Ballack who volleyed Chelsea through with eleven minutes to go. This after Porto had taken an early lead.Three minutes into the second-half, after a dismal first half, Arjen Robben equalised for Chelsea.Below enjoy the goals againCOME ON CHELSEA!!Who do you want in the draw which takes place on Friday or who do you think Chelsea will get in the quarter-final draw?Robben makes it 1-1Ballack 'The Hero' volleys for 2-1Technorati Tags:newsgoalschelseaJose Mourinhochampions leagueblueblood58Michael BallackStamford BridgePorto fcIf You Know Your History Online Chelsea StoreShop at Amazon.co.ukhttp://rpc.technorati.com/rpc /ping More About: Else

Portsmouth 0-2 Chelsea
2007-03-04 06:55:00 Whether Chelsea retain their title and win it for a third successive year remains to be seen, but the CHAMPIONS are not giving up their title without a fight.Goals by Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou gave the boys a 2-0 at Port smouth 's Fratton Park, a game that Chelsea HAD to win after ManUre's 'lucky' result at Anfield earlier in the day.Fratton Park is quite a happy hunting ground for Kalou. Earlier in the season he scored a memorable hat-trick for the reserves as they thumped Portsmouth reserves 5-0.The star of the show and Chelsea's saviour was goalkeeper Petr Cech. Cech made two fabulous saves in a five minute spell late in the second-half when Portsmouth were at their most dangerous. First Cech parried and clawed the ball away from a Cole header whilst diving the 'wrong' way and then minutes later Cech swooped down low to his right to keep another header from Kanu from crossing the line.After, in the post match conference Jose made the point that having Petr Cech about w...

In Memory - Peter Osgood: 1947 - 2006
2007-03-01 20:13:00 A year ago today I was at work when I heard the news that the ‘King of Stamford Bridge’ had sadly passed away at the young age of 59. I admit I rushed to the loo and shed a few tears to mourn the passing of an absolute Chelsea Legend.I was fortunate to see the great man in action on many, many occasions and even had the opportunity to try a save an ‘Ossie’ special in goal. Notice the word try. As soon as I had positioned myself in goal, quick as a flash the ball was in the net - it was an honour LOL.Along with another late Chelsea great, Ian Hutchinson, I was treated along with a massive group of Chelsea fans (including my wife) to the special Ossie ‘hospitality’ when he and Ian used to own a pub in Windsor. Because of their special brand of hospitality they didn’t have the pub too long because legend says that they were always buying Chelsea fans who visited plenty of drinks. For the record Ossie’s Chelsea career reads: Played 380 and scored 150 goals.Because of his... More About: Memory , Good , Pete , Memo , Peter

Chelsea v Arsenal - Carling Cup Final
2007-02-24 15:47:00 Well the weekend hasn't got off to the best start. ManUre has just beaten Fulham after being a goal down, with Ronaldo scoring the winner in the 88th minute.So the Champions are nine points behind and have to win the game in hand against Man City in two weeks time - but thats for another day.What a week Chelsea have had. Beating Norwich in the Cup, drawing Tottenham in the next round, drawing with Porto in the Champions League and the 'kids' that are Jose and Wenger starting the off the field mind games, typical in the build up to a mjor cup meeting between the two sides.As for the game itself. Well there is no John Terry. Robben looks like he will be fit and Essien will start as centre-half as he has done so magnificently in recent months.I am not going to the game. Simply because I just can't be bothered to put up with all the difficulties of travelling to Wales along with 70,000 plus other people.So if you are going to the game - then I wish you a safe journey.Technorati Tags...

OK £80million loss, BUT
2007-02-19 20:54:00 the but is.. Chelsea has frozen ticket prices for next season for Premier League matches which include season tickets, members, OAPs and children. (Chelsea say that the freeze equates to a 6% in terms of inflation). Only the corporate will suffer price increases.. well they can afford it can't they and do they sing??? Nah course they don't. They spend all their time eating and drinking all they can to get their money's worth whilst watching the game 'through beerglasses.'Chelsea has also announced that they will introduce reductions for the Champions League group games and will continue substantial reductions for FA Cup and Carling Cup home games, subject to away team approval.In the draw for the Quarter-Final of the FA Cup, Chelsea got a home draw against Tottenham to be played on Saturday 10th March or Sunday 11th March.Way before then Chelsea travel to Portugal to play Porto on Wednesday in the Champions League and then on Sunday, Chelsea play Arsenal in the final of the Car...

2007-02-06 19:49:00 Firstly lets get the bouquets out for a really special person who during her lunch hour today went off to Stamford Bridge and got me a ticket for the Champions League game against Porto at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday March 6th.With my season ticket in hand she was politely told that due to the demands of UEFA, my seat was not available and that I would have to move to a different part of the ground.Taking no regard to calling me before purchasing said ticket she opted for the 'Shed End Upper tier' without hesitation. When she called me after she had my ticket in her hand, my immediate reaction was YES!!!Back in the SHED!!! The Shed where I had spent most of my life supporting the Blue Boys and now I am going to back in the SHED (albeit in its all-seater form) cheering on the boys for an extremely important 2nd Leg of the Champions League round of the last 16.Why get so excited you may ask?

OnLine Petition for the 'Little Clubs.'
2007-02-04 15:08:00 "The F.A is yet to make a decision about which venue will be used to host the 2006/07 F.A Trophy Final and I believe that the decision makers at the F.A may need a little bit of help in making this most difficult of choices. Aren't you fed up of having to view this crowing spectacle in the confines of Villa Park? No matter which non-league team you support or whether your team even makes it to the pinnacle of this competition, the idea of holding the final back at its old hunting ground must be something that cannot be ignored. In summary, I am creating this petition to campaign to the F.A to host the 2006/07 F.A Trophy final back where it belongs, at Wembly Stadium. If you agree with this suggestion, please make every effort to sign this petition and send it on to everyone you know for them to sign.

UUURRRRGGGGGHHHH!! Working on a Saturday which I hate at the best times, but to work on a Saturday during the football season is sacrilege.It was just as well that Chelsea didn't play at home, I would not have been impressed.Frank scored the only goal of the game with one of his specials (see vid below) and Petr Cech showed yet again why he is the No.1 Goalkeeper in the world. The saves he made weren't that special, but in the context of yesterday's victory they were very special indeed.I firmly believe that with Petr Cech, John Terry back and Michael Essien returning to his usual midfield position (Chelsea have missed in dynamism in midfield), Chelsea can crank it up and...

Chelsea 3-0 Blackburn Rovers
2007-02-01 01:27:00 Although Chelsea were convincing winners over Black burn Rovers this evening at Stamford Bridge, there is one major concern which has overshadowed the team's continued chase of leaders ManUre.Ashley Cole was stretchered off in the 2nd half after appearing to have trodden on the ball whilst making a flying empasse down the left wing. Early reports suggest that Cole's injury is serious as Jose said in his post match interview that Cole could not walk on his injured leg. Jose also added that it was too early to make a concrete diagnosis and the full extent of the damage will not be known for a couple of days.Another area of concern is that the crowd this evening fell way short of a sellout - 38,000 against 42,250.Granted Blackburn would not have been expected to have sold their full allocation of tickets, especially for a midweek visit to London.

FA CUP 4th Round - Chelsea 3-0 Nottm Forest
2007-01-29 21:35:00 Chelsea's reward for defeating League One side Nottingham Forest is a home tie against either Blackpool (also League One) or Norwich City (from the Championship).

2007-01-27 19:44:00 I will quite happily wager you any amount of money that if you asked any Nottingham Forest fan why they are in the equivalent of the OLD Division Three, apart from the obvious answer 'we are shit' they would not be able to give you an accurate, articulate answer to their football club's troubles.It really seems only 'five' minutes ago that Forest were Kings of English football, they were Kings of European football and they were just Kings of Football especially when they had the greatest footballing double act of Peter Taylor and the late great Brian Clough as their management team.Just ask any Derby County fan!!!!On Sunday at Stamford Bridge, Forest come to town hoping to cause another shock, after they beat Charlton Athletic at the City Ground in the third round. Currently joint top of League One, Forest look set to regain the Championship place they lost last season and then for the fans hopefully regaining their position in the top flight of English football.Manager Colin C...
