WFC No Challenge for Blues

By: Jack | Comments 12 Comments

England’s Brave John Terry has finally committed his future to the club. And Chelsea wrapped up the World Football Challenge in style Sunday night, handing Club America a 2-0 defeat at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.
All is good.
It finally went right for young Franco Di Santo who, as a second-half substitute, scored and set up the [...]

Rant Box: Meeelan v Chelsea

By: Jack | Comments 10 Comments

Get me to Baltimore.
I’ll be in the mix at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium on Friday night as the Blues continue their preseason tour of the U.S. against old-a** AC Milan. The match marks the Blues’ second game of the World Football Challenge, following a thorough dismantling of The Special One’s rather normal looking — no, [...]

Uncanny: Mikel v Stay Puft

By: Jack | Comments 2 Comments

Congratulations to John Obi for inking a new long-term deal with the club on Wednesday. The kid is a remarkable talent, and we’re glad to have him for the foreseeable future.

Quick Recap: How impressive was that?

By: Jack | Comments 13 Comments

The Special One’s Inter Milan was dire, no question.
But Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea? They were quite impressive during Tuesday’s decisive 2-0 win in Pasadena.

Again, Carlo broke out the 4-1-2-1-2 formation and, again, the result was a tidy attacking performance. The movement, the passing, the control, the speed of play … it was all just so fluid. [...]

Hughes set Terry saga ablaze

By: Jack | Comments 13 Comments

Hey Mark Hughes, own up or shut the f*** up.
If you’ve spoken to England’s Brave John Terry – currently employed by Chelsea by the way — or his representatives, tell us. If not, then keep the man’s name out of your mouth.

What is this man on about?
Today, after revealing Carlos Tevez to the media, the Manchester [...]

Finally someone to blame: Arnesen becomes SD

By: Jack | Comments No Comments

As had been somewhat expected — yet kind of shocking, really — Frank Arnesen, chief scout and director of youth development at Chelsea, has now added sporting director to his list of responsibilities at Stamford Bridge.
What the hell is a sporting director, you ask? The hell if I know.
