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 [...]

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 [...]

Carling Cup: Blues draw Burnley

By: Jack | Comments No Comments

The Carling Cup fourth-round draw took place Saturday, and Chelsea have to be pleased with the outcome — or are they? Our Blues will welcome Championship side Burnley to Stamford Bridge on November 11 or 12.
We all remember how Chelsea fared against Barnsley in last year’s FA Cup. Still, I don’t think this tie will [...]

Carling Cup Prev: Pompey

By: Jack | Comments 4 Comments

Chelsea’s attempt to regain the Carling Cup begins Wednesday against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. Pompey will no doubt be out for revenge, following the 4-0 thrashing theytook in their Premier League season opener at Stamford Bridge a month ago.
They’ll have a hard time doing so.

Portsmouth enters this match on the heels of its most embarrassing [...]

Yeah, About That Quadruple

By: Jack | Comments 2 Comments

OK, after a few days of contemplation, I believe I’m ready to discuss this debacle.
Out-thought, out-played, out-managed and simply outclassed, Chelsea relinquished its hold on the Carling Cup on Sunday. Tottenham dealt their London rivals a hammer blow, exiting New Wembley worthy 2-1 victors in extra time. Ledley King hoisted Spurs’ first piece of silverware since [...]

Recap: Carling Cub semifinal, first leg

By: Jack | Comments No Comments

Who says the Carling Cup is a third- or fourth-rate competition? Chelsea’s semifinal first leg against Everton on Tuesday at the Bridge was a fairly good match. In fact, it was enthralling.
At the close, 10-man Chelsea secured a crucial advantage in the tie thanks to wee-man Shaun Wright Phillips, who towered over Joleon Lescott in [...]

Middlesbrough v Chelsea

By: Andy | Comments 6 Comments

What a bad International break this time round for Chelsea. Forget about the international team, England always flatter to deceive. Nope. Its all about John Terry and Ashley Cole. Terry has been ruled out for a minimum of four weeks with knee trouble and Ash has been ruled out for four weeks with ankle trouble.
With [...]

Valencia 1-2 Chelsea AGAIN in the Mestalla

By: Andy | Comments No Comments

Never in a million years did I expect to write such a surprising scoreline as written in the the subject header line. I have always believed that you should always ‘EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED’ when it comes to the fortunes of Chelsea Football Club and that statement is so Chelsea in the light of events that [...]
