The rumours first started in January that Manchester City were interested in landing John Terry, but nothing seemed too concrete and I, perhaps along with a lot of people, just dismissed it as paper talk.  Why on earth would Terry leave the Blues to take a risk on Manchester City. Now though, its official, City […]

Claude Makelele's grit in Chelsea's midfield and ability to play a quick pass made him the fitting example of the 'Claude Makelele' role, whatever that means.  It's even been said that he's managed to define the holding midfield position as much as Franz Beckenbauer the sweeper role.  And he's now cashing in on the footballer […]

When the final whistle went and those West Ham fans who'd spent most of Saturdays game against Chelsea abusing former old boys, Frank Lampard and John Terry, had disappeared to the pubs around and about, I bet they never thought they'd ever see either player back at Upton Park that soon.

On Friday, during my game previews, Sam wondered how Wigan could score? Today, Chelsea gave us an answer, complacency. For much of Wigan's trip to Stamford Bridge, it was Chelsea on the back foot.

This week’s circulation is a doozy.  Manchester City reportedly are including Robinho in a cash plus player offer for Chelsea captain John Terry this summer.  City would entice Terry by doubling his […]

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 […]

Is there anything Tim Cahill can't do? Tim Cahill's week defines the word jet lag. From Liverpool to Japan for a World Cup Qualifier. His performance for Australia wasn't exactly great, then again neither was Australia's. Cahill had to be thankful Everton's FA Cup tie against Aston Villa was on Sunday, I don't think he […]

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, […]
