After watching the dramatic Manchester United v Liverpool game, my Sunday afternoon Premier League viewing was completed by watching Chelsea cruise past Blackpool. During the later of the games the following comment from my Dad got me thinking. “Chelsea would put five or six past United or Liverpool at the moment.” Now let’s get a […]

Despite their excellent start to their campaign the pressure is on Chelsea ahead of their Champions League opener tonight. Carlo Ancelotti’s men travel to MSK Zilina and the general consensus amongst the footballing world is that they need to succeed to in Europe this season. While last year saw Chelsea return to the domestic heights […]

While a Patrick Vieira goal was enough to rescue a point for Manchester City against Blackburn a draw won’t be good enough to satisfy City’s ever demanding owners and fans. But expect more results of a similar nature as sides adjust to City’s new statute. City’s vast spending over the last few years has now […]

Although Chelsea will take on a West Ham side that are rock-bottom of the Premier League on Saturday, the trip to Upton Park represents Ancelotti’s toughest task so far this season, and Chelsea will have to up their game to continue their stunning start to the season. Chelsea have had nothing short of seamless start. […]

When Shaun Wright Phillips appeared as second half substitute against Switzerland, he was probably hoping that an impressive display could kick-start his club season. But things didn’t go according to plan for the Manchester City winger and a below par display was topped off with a woeful cross that eluded Darren Bent and infuriated boss […]

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has today claimed that he wants to emulate the success of Sir Alex Ferguson and have a prolonged stay in the English game. The Chelsea boss has also suggested he may even wish to manage England some time down the line. But could the Italian really fuflill his claims? The thought […]

Love him or hate him, Ashley Cole is the best at his position in England, and arguably the world. While this has been the case for many years (although I'm sure the Evra family might object), under Carlo Ancelotti Cole has transformed from an indefatigable left-back to an integral cog in Chelsea's attacking strategy. Fullbacks […]

The Premier League is underway and the two main title protagonists have recorded emphatics wins coupled with extremely impressive performances. Chelsea’s 6-0 victory over West Brom was somewhat of a surprise given their lacklustre pre-season form and disappointing Community Shield display, but Didier Drogba has now declared Chelsea aren’t even ready for the season yet, […]

The last three permanent managers of Liverpool have all overseen a familiar pattern of events. Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez all enjoyed moderately successful starts – Evans had a decent first full league season, Houllier a distant third place and a (very fortunate) cup treble, Benitez's Champions League triumph rightly overshadowed a fairly […]

Chelsea will wear a fluorescent yellow third shirt during the 2010-11 season, according to a leaked photo. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the shirt features black trim and a very unique black line that runs down the center of the new Chelsea third jersey. The last time Chelsea wore a fluorescent shirt was during the […]

All Manchester City fans were expecting a busy summer at Eastlands and while they have brought in £75 million pounds worth of talent, the players that have arrived will not spark fear into Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. City have added David Silva, Yaya Toure, Jerome Boateng and most recently left back Aleksander Kolarov to […]

Chelsea has officially unveiled their away jersey for the 2010-11 season. And boy is it horrid. We first saw leaked pictures of Chelsea's away shirt yesterday. And while we weren't sure 100% whether the pictures were real or not, we got confirmation today that they are. The shirt colors remind me of a popular (but […]

Photographs of what appears to be Chelsea's new away jersey for the 2010-11 season have been leaked on the Internet. The images of Chelsea's new away shirt feature a black top with gold trim. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, the new Chelsea away jersey features a tartan-like design on the shirt which is slightly consistent […]

A photograph has been leaked of what seemingly is Chelsea's third jersey for the 2010-11 season. Designed and manufactured by Adidas, Chelsea's new third kit features a unique design that can best be described as a mixture of fluorescent blue and tartan (apologies to Scottish readers). I admit that the shirt looks an awful lot […]

It is quite early to discuss next season's Champions League particularly with the World Cup looming ahead but Inter's historic treble was much more than a great achievement. It proved once again how difficult it is to repeat as a champion in Europe's elite club competition. For the Nerazzurri winning the Champions League is the […]
