The bald one, Peter Kenyon, set a goal of winning two Champions League crowns within a decade when he took over as Chelsea chief executive in 2004. Our new chief, Ron Gourlay is upping the stakes. Read the rest of this entry »

Getting to know our new chief executive
By: Jack | Add Comments
Via the official Web site…
Tell us your background as a player in Scotland.
My footballing background goes back many years. I was a player in my younger days and I had a number of trials around some of the local teams, but never really made it onto the big stage. I was a big fan of football as well. I spent many seasons following Dundee with my dad. Charlie Cooke was my dad’s hero and was at Dundee before he was Tommy Docherty’s big Chelsea signing.

This two men are one and the same.
Guess where I found this pic. On a Barca web site, of course.
Rant Box: Chelsea v Atletico Madrid
By: Jack | 15 Comments
New Atletico manager Quique Flores remembers the Blue machine — well, Michael Essien — all too well. Furthermore, a win will take us through to the group stages. Oh, and Didier Drogba is back to terrorize Europe.
I’ll have that.
This man may be the fulcrum in 09-10. More on that later…

If No. 4 isn’t up for goal of the season, the whole list is a sham. That was truly as elegant as team goal as I’ve seen. Sheer audacity and brilliance. (P.S. Only Spanish commentary could enhance this display) Bonita Gol.
Lead Up: Chelsea v Bolton

So it’s Bolton at the Reebok on Saturday.
I think we can safely say we’re not going to see a repeat of the midweek thrashing we threw at Wanderers in the Carling Cup. Wednesday’s match was the third consecutive demolition at Stamford Bridge — 13 goals scored, none conceded. The Blues are in a rich vein, eh?
We Want You! Chelsea Offside seeking a second writer
By: Jack | 3 Comments
Duders. I think it’s been obvious over the past couple of months that my productivity levels with regard to this blog have fallen. New commitments have forced me to stretch myself a tad too thin. Of course, my quality of writing is still pristine – you know it to be true – but I really want to start bombarding the people with a plethora of intelligent, insightful, satirical, comedic, humorous, pompous, demented, borderline insane material.
That’s why I’m now opening up the market for a tag-team partner to help me conquer the footballing blogosphere. I’m looking for a Hawk to go with my Animal – where are my old-school WWF heads at? If you’re interested, please send two writing samples, Chelsea-related of course, and a short paragraph on why you think you would be a good fit at Chelsea Offside to jackgoodson@gmail.com.
Don’t think you can just waltz into this position with some thrown-together garbage, either. I’m looking for well-written, technically-pristine material mixed with that vintage The Offside flavor (humor, craziness) we’ve all come to love.
So, if you you think you’ve got what it takes, make it happen. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve got, and taking the Chelsea Offside to the next level. Cheers.

Via the Guardian (of course), following our 5-0 demoltion of Blackburn on the weekend …
“The oversimplified reading of a diamond formation* suggests that any success is significantly dependent on the excellence of attacking full-backs. Yet Chelsea were without Ashley Cole and Jose Bosingwa when they obliterated Blackburn at the weekend. Juliano Belletti played within himself at left-back, while Branislav Ivanovic was largely useless going forward. It did not affect Chelsea at all.
Poll: Naming the Diamond

It’s the question of questions. It’s been said that even the Grail knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade pondered this query — of course, this was before that two-timing b**** killed his frail ass when she attempted to flee with the Grail.
