Pop. Lock. And drop it.
The Arsenal invade Stamford Bridge in a few hours aiming to eliminate last weekend’s debacle from the collective footballing mind. Chelsea aim to dish out a knockout blow to the Gunners’ always-shrinking Premier League title dream. Forget a knockout, let’s just kill it off completely.
There’s really not much buildup needed is there? After all, it’s a London Derby. And it’s Arsenal. So, with that being said, here is my four-point presentation on why Chelsea will win and Arsenal will fade into the abyss — again. Read the rest of this entry »
Sad Face: John Terry no longer England’s Brave
By: Jack | 4 Comments
This is, obviously, for archival purposes. But it also got me thinking a wee bit.
So, from this point forward — barring some miraculous reversal of fortune, the likes of which we’ve only seen in a bad Will Smith film — neither I, nor the Guardian, can refer to Mr. Terry as England’s Brave? S***. Double turds (c. Spalding). Read the rest of this entry »

What was that? Seriously. That could not have possibly been Chelsea Football Club. No way. Right?
Wrong. After a month in which we swept aside most of what was placed in front of us, the bottom fell out. It was a really, really poor display. Awful, really. Read the rest of this entry »

Rant Box: Chelsea v Hull City
By: Jack | 36 Comments
It’s another must-win for the boys at Hull City on Tuesday. Lets be fair, though, is there really ever not a must-win for sides like Chelsea?
Changes galore for our visit to the KC Stadium? Probably not. But expect a few scattered moves as Carlo juggles with the squad’s overall fitness ahead of the visit of Arsenal at the weekend. Ashley Cole (ankle) is the only question mark at the moment. Carlo has confirmed Drogba will partner Anelka in the Ivorian’s first Premier League action since, well, a while ago. Deco and Ricky are both expected to return as well. Personally, I’d like to see Ballack get a rest ahead of Sunday — he looked gassed during the second half of the Burnley match. However, with Belletti out, who do we throw in there? Read the rest of this entry »
Transfers, you say? None here.

Well, the January transfer window has passed. And with a whimper it must be said. Tottenham striker Robbie Keane to Celtic — on loan? That’s all you’ve got for me?
Chelsea, meanwhile, did one piece of business. Not the kind you, or me, were thinking, either. Promising youngster Jack Cork joined Burnley on loan for the rest of the season. Good news, but breaking? Hardly. Read the rest of this entry »

The 100-word recap: Chelsea 2, Burnley 1
By: Jack | 4 Comments
Can I keep such a grand, and anticipated, recap under a century? We soon shall see. The opening third-party piece, which I love, does no count, mind you.
“Say what you like about John Terry, and this weekend most people have (”this vile and gutless man” – News of the World), he remains an outstanding centre-half, with nerves of ice. Perhaps he even enjoys living dangerously in his professional as well as personal life.”
-Steve Tongue, The Independent Read the rest of this entry »
