RAWSE.

This is it, the start of what potentially could serve as a season-defining five days for the famous CFC. London rivals West Ham visit Stamford Bridge on Saturday; Internazionale, Jose Mourinho, the Champions League theme, that pulsating trio arrives Tuesday.
Both represent must-wins. A chance to return to the top of the Premier League, albeit briefly, [...]

“Hi Lloyd. Been away. Now I’m back.”
So said Jack Torrence to Lloyd the Bartender in The Shining. And so say I to you, my awesome readers, after a long, long absence from writing on Arsenal. Today, I’ve drummed up a very long, but sectioned, biographical account of my watching Arsenal, in Australia (hence the early [...]

Close on his heels were Essien and Eto’o. So there are [...]

John Obi Mikel is a divisive figure: half the Chelsea fans I speak to appreciate the young Nigerian, others don’t. Fans of other clubs (who don’t watch Chelsea games in full) invariably don’t rate him. The truth is however that…

A Chelsea FC way to go about a comeback

You might have wondered why sometimes Chelsea score so late in the game to win or draw. This is because of a never say die approach instilled in them by a succession of great coaches.

It’s a glorious, glorious day to be a supporter of Chelsea Football Club. The Blues are 105 years old today.
So get out there and celebrate!

Professional. Efficient. Win.
How good does it feel to use these terms with regard to the famous CFC once again?

This was a much-needed morale builder following a dip in form that included three defeats among our past five matches. We couldn’t have asked for a better opponent, either. Stoke, however inferior talent-wise, are a disciplined, resilient [...]

Great result today. More on that later.
Now for the draw.  And it’s Aston Villa.
Villa, who already own a victory over the Blues this season, advanced to the round of four with a thrilling 4-2 win against Reading earlier Sunday. Martin O’Neil’s needed a second-half hat trick from John Carew to overturn a two-goal deficit.
