Chelsea announced a £65.7m loss for last year, a staggering sum, particularly as it marks an improvement over the loose-pursed past. Though the tangible sum is less, the impact will be felt more, after Roman Abramovich as billionaire Roman Abramovich potentially lost the bulk of his fortune. Abramovich’s woes have already affected Chelsea. The Russian […]

Whether they want him or not, the Geordie nation are stuck with Mike Ashley as much as he's stuck with them. Since the Keegan debacle back in September, the hard pressed fans have continued to watch their beloved Magpies struggle along with no real resolution in sight and last weeks news regarding the long term […]

It took a couple of days, but the rift in the Chelsea dressing room seems to have finally made it out onto the public forum of the press. It all had to start with John Terry, doing his best to absolve his blame in Scolari's sacking by saying he was behind the manager 100 percent, […]

The firings of Tony Adams by Portsmouth and Big Phil Scolari by Chelsea brought the total number of clubs that have changed managers this season to seven, and the number of managerial changes to eight. That turnover rate seems quite high and quickly cycling managers seldom leads to success. It would seem that managers […]

For Chelsea fans, this is another case of 'here we go again'. The Chelsea international manager merry-go-round continued Tuesday after Roman went all guns blazing after the man who has been managing the national team of his birth. Despite all the media reports of Avram Grant, Frank Rijkaard, even the team of Giofranco Zola and […]

I must have been the only Chelsea fan in the world who wasn't surprised by today's news. Realistically with the FA Cup the only legit chance of Chelsea winning any trophy this season, the move had to be made now. Had Scolari been in charge Saturday when Chelsea went to Watford, Chelsea would be out […]

A strange turn of events at Chelsea where Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked and Avram Grant, the man Scolari replaced, has emerged as one of the candidates on Chelsea's shortlist to replace the former World Cup-winning manager. Whether Grant gets the job is purely speculation but it's just another sign of how funny football […]

I can sum up in two words why Roman Abramovich may have sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari: Aston Villa. Seeing Aston Villa in third place, two points ahead of Chelsea, must have been eating Abramovich up. Here's this Russian oil tycoon who has spent hundreds of millions of pounds to try to build the world's biggest […]

Luiz Felipe Scolari has been sacked by Chelsea. The last straw for Chelsea FC was the club's uninspiring 0-0 draw at home against Hull City. The draw pushed Chelsea further behind in the league title race after Liverpool and Manchester United both recorded wins. The club are now seven points behind league leaders Manchester United. […]

A picture of Chelsea's new home shirt for the 2009/2010 season has been leaked. Manufactured by Adidas and sponsored by Samsung, the new Chelsea shirt features a design that makes the shirt look like it's divided into panels. While that effect makes the shirt look more three dimensional, the top section of the shirt looks […]

One streak was going to end at Ewood Park this afternoon. Either Sam Allardyce was going to lose his first match for Blackburn in the league, or Aston Villa was going to win seven on the trot away from Villa Park. When it was all said and done, Blackburn Rovers turned over and Aston Villa […]

Fox Soccer Channel scored 230,000 viewers who watched the Liverpool against Chelsea match on its US TV network on February 1, 2009, according to Nielsen TV ratings. In comparison, here are the number of viewers for a selection of other Premier League matches (and an England match) televised by Fox since October, 2008: Manchester United […]

Superbowl Sunday is always a strange day for me. The last time I watched an entire Superbowl game was more than 20 years ago when Chicago's "Superbowl Shuffle" beat the Patriots. Usually I spend the day doing the opposite of what the majority are doing. For example, for Superbowl 2006, I had a launch party […]

If anyone deserves Liverpool man of the match award, it's not a Liverpool player. Instead of the honor going to Fernando Torres, that award should be awarded to the man in the middle Mike Riley. Every time I see Mike Riley as referee to any game, my thoughts immediately change from how the game is […]

The next battle of the Big Four is set for this Sunday when Chelsea travels to Anfield in a crunch match for both sides. Rafa needs to regain his composure and get his team winning at the ground that used to be a fortress. Chelsea needs to prove that they're capable of beating a Big […]
