Rant Box: Chelsea v Everton

By: Jack | Comments 21 Comments

This is the big one, my friends.

FA Cup Final. At Wembley. Against Everton.
The final match of the season. The final match of Guus Hiddink’s initial tenure with the Blues.
What else do you need? How about a trophy presentation following the final whistle? Me likes.
Don’t engrave Chelsea’s name on that piece of hardware just yet, however.
Everton [...]

FA Cup buildup: A message from Guus

By: Jack | Comments 1 Comment

Via the Chelsea official Web site…
“Back in March, just one month after I started working at Chelsea, supporters from the Fans’ Forum came to visit us at Cobham.
I can remember the supporters telling me then that although they knew we were trying hard to win the Premier League and the Champions League, we should not [...]

Nico is golden.

By: Jack | Comments 8 Comments

I believe congratulations are in order.

Big Up to Chelsea forward Nicolas Anelka for securing the Premier League’s Golden Boot on Sunday against Sunderland. The French striker burned the Black Cats’ defense just after the halftime interval with a phenomenal 20-plus yard drive past Marton Fulop. This surely has to be a late nominee for Chelsea [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Sunderland

By: Jack | Comments 5 Comments

A relatively quiet close to the Premier League season for Chelsea. Not Sunderland, though.
The Black Cats are in a four-way dogfight for 60 million pounds. When’s the last time Chelsea were involved in a relegation decider anyway?

Hiddink will no doubt opt for a full-strength squad, the threat of first-team players losing form ahead of the [...]

Ancelotti “would love to coach Chelsea”

By: Jack | Comments No Comments

Yes, the AC Milan boss said he would love to be a part of Roman’s army at a news conference today in Italy. But only after stating he was “100% certain that I will still be at Milan next year.”

Congratulations Super Frank!

By: Jack | Comments No Comments

You’ve been named the inaugural Chelsea Offside Player of the Year. In a landslide, Lampard received 66 percent of the vote in my recent poll (117 out of 1177 total votes). Nicolas Anelka and Obi-Wan (WTH?) were joint second with 12 votes each.
Congrats, Frank. A well-deserved honor to be sure. Thanks to everyone for voting!
