Preview: Chelsea v Arsenal

By: Jack | Comments 35 Comments

Pop. Lock. And drop it.
The Arsenal invade Stamford Bridge in a few hours aiming to eliminate last weekend’s debacle from the collective footballing mind. Chelsea aim to dish out a knockout blow to the Gunners’ always-shrinking Premier League title dream. Forget a knockout, let’s just kill it off completely.

Recap: Chelsea 1, Hull City 1

By: Jack | Comments 9 Comments

What was that? Seriously. That could not have possibly been Chelsea Football Club. No way. Right?

Rant Box: Chelsea v Hull City

By: Jack | Comments 36 Comments

The 100-word recap: Chelsea 2, Burnley 1

“Say what you like about John Terry, and this weekend most people have (”this vile and gutless man” – News of the World), he remains an outstanding centre-half, [...]

John Terry: Seriously, WTF

By: Jack | Comments 13 Comments

I hope you’ve seen/read about the scandal that surfaced Friday surrounding our captain John Terry. If not, hit the links here and here. I’m not really prepared to discuss/debate the subject at the moment. Lets be real, though, there’s not much to say.
