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 [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Coventry

By: Jack | Comments 6 Comments

Last year, at this stage of the FA Cup, Barnsley took Avram Grant’s men to task. This season, Coventry attempts to the same.

Saturday, the Sky Blues host Chelsea at Ricoh Arena in the quarterfinals of the world’s oldest cup competition. A shock result is certainly not out of the question, either.
Both clubs enter the match [...]

Match Report: Nico is ‘golden’

By: Jack | Comments 3 Comments

Well, that was surprisingly entertaining.
Following 70 some minutes of mindnumbing football, things finally livened up at Vicarage Road. Watford substitute Tamas Priskin scored with his first touch of the match. It was looking rather bleak for Chelsea at that point.
Then caretaker manager Ray Wilkins did something Luiz Felipe Scolari failed to do in seven months [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v. Watford

By: Jack | Comments 7 Comments

So the Hiddink era begins. Well, not really.
Ray Wilkins — or Mouthpiece as I like to refer to him as — will likely be stirring the pot today as Chelsea visit Hertfordshire to take on Championship club Watford in the FA Cup’s fifth round. Our new main man, Guus Hiddink, will likely be observing from [...]

FA Cup Draw: Away to Watford

By: Jack | Comments 1 Comment

The FA Cup fifth-round draw was just completed and Chelsea have drawn an away tie with Championship side Watford.  Not bad I’d say.

This tie will have some ties, too. “Would you like to tie me up with your ties, Ty?”
What am I talking about? Watford boss Brendan Rodgers will be hosting his former club Chelsea, [...]

Rant Box: Chelsea v Ipswich

By: Jack | Comments 12 Comments

It’s another cup tie. Against lower league competition.
Should we expect a long night. I say nay.
Chelsea has finally turned the corner. That’s right, I said it. We’re about to run riot on these tricks. Word, son. Word.
Whoa. I think I was just possessed by the ghost of Kool Moe Dee. Wait, that guy’s still alive. [...]
