Rant Box: Chelsea v Arsenal

By: Jack | Comments 14 Comments

The Arsenal. Yummmmmmmm.

It’s Chelsea v Jack’s second most hated (you know who you are No. 1) at the Bridge on Sunday. This ish is about to go down, son!
Both clubs are in desperate need of a win. It’s about as must-win as it can get, really. The Voyeur has soiled himself in recent weeks. Uncle [...]

Match Prev: Season defining?

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

Chelsea. Arsenal. Stamford Bridge.
Could this be the Blues’ season-defining fixture? No doubt.
Coming off a string of less-than-impressive performances coupled with less-than-impressive results, Chelsea must — I repeat must — show its worth on Sunday against another club finding little to draw from at the moment, Arsene’s Arsenal.
A 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in midweek leaves the [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Bordeaux

By: Jack | Comments 6 Comments

Chelsea. Bordeaux. France. Champions League. Girls in electric yellow.
Shall I say anymore? Why yes, of course.

After that debacle over the weekend at home to Newcastle — you know, the one where we did everything but score — we need a decisive performance. If that’s not enough, we’re coming off that Roma display and thus need, [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Newcastle

By: Jack | Comments 12 Comments

Hey, it’s that time again! You know, time to slug the Magpies.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
OK, so Saturday’s match with Newcastle at Stamford Bridge has all the makings of a trap game. The Pies have yet to win away from home this season. They’ve never defeated the Blues at the Bridge in the Prem. Hell, the last time they [...]

Are we that broke?

By: Jack | Comments 11 Comments

Chelsea are examining every way in which to cut costs at the club. And I mean, every way.
The latest rumor to surface is that the club may force players and staff to pay for meals at the Cobham cafeteria. Are you serious?
A spokesman even confirmed this nonsense with the Mirror: “Costs at the training [...]

You may have heard, Chelsea youngsta Michael Mancienne has been called into the England senior team for the Three Lions’ friendly with Germany in Berlin on Wednesday. The 20-year-old, on loan at Wolverhampton, is seen here with current England and Chelsea captain John Terry during training. Here’s to hoping the lad, who will earn his [...]

Drogs to sit for 3

By: Jack | Comments 2 Comments

Drogbacite has been handed a three-match ban for his Robin Hood-like generosity against Burnley in the Carling Cup last week.

The big Ivorian with a small threshhold for pain chucked a coin into the Burnley fan section, in hopes of rewarding the poverty-stricken town with a bit of cash for the trip home. Instead, he’s actions [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v West Brom

By: Jack | Comments 11 Comments

West Brom at the Hawthorns, eh? I guess we should expect a six- or seven-goal barrage.
We soon shall see.
Coming off the grotesqueness of midweek — a loss to Championship side Burnley at Stamford Bridge on penalty kicks — we all should expect Chelsea to pursue an immediate response. Immediate response? More like a decisive and [...]

Well, that sucked

By: Jack | Comments 5 Comments

Last time we won a penalty shootout? Guess.
A decade ago against Ipswich. Where? In the Carling Cup, of course.
So, Chelsea got its just desserts Wednesday, falling 5-4 in a penalty shootout to Championship side Burnley in the fourth round of the league cup. The Drogs had put the Blues ahead after 27 minutes, but a [...]

Mike Ballack got blogs, son

By: Jack | Comments 1 Comment

Thx to forum user sayen, I’ve discovered footbo, a “social network for football lovers worldwide.” Now, this site is far from groundbreaking. However, it does have the unique platform of offering real player blogs.
Alex Song, former Blue Shaun Wright-Phillips, they’re there. So, too, is the big German. Check out what the man has to say [...]
