Video: Chelsea 4, Bolton 0
By: Jack |If No. 4 isn’t up for goal of the season, the whole list is a sham. That was truly as elegant as team goal as I’ve seen. Sheer audacity and brilliance. (P.S. Only Spanish commentary could enhance this display) Bonita Gol.
Jagshemash! Chelsea 4, Bolton 0
By: Jack |It’s a celebration, bitches.
Via the Guardian … “The competition may change, the advertising hoardings spinning to proclaim Champions League or Premier League or Carling Cup, but Chelsea’s swashbuckling home form remains a constant. A tenth consecutive win here, achieved gracefully and impressively last night, has propelled Carlo Ancelotti’s team into the quarter-finals. This side feels untouchable [...]
Match Recap: What The Hell?
By: Jack |Well, that wasn’t pleasant. Not at all.
Chelsea’s nine-match winning streak in all competitions — six consecutive in the Premier League — came to an abrupt, and surprising, end on Saturday against Wigan. Yes, that Wigan.
Petr Cech was sent off early in the second half after clipping Hugo Rodallega in the box. The Colombian forward, enjoying [...]
Opening day: We’ll take it
By: Jack |Welcome to England, Carlo. Specifically, welcome to the world of Chelsea Football Club.
Ancelotti, a notorious smoker, may not have been able to light one up during the match, but no doubt partook in the old puff following Saturday’s dramatic opening day. A day which ended with an all-too-close, just-in-time 2-1 win over Hull City at [...]

By: Jack |Sorry for the lack of posts this week; it has been an extremely hectic last five or so days. Anyway.
Chelsea netted twice in the final five minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw with Reading at the Madjeski on Saturday afternoon. Kalou bagged the first — I know, shocking — with an own goal, set up [...]
WFC No Challenge for Blues
By: Jack |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 [...]
Quick Recap: How impressive was that?
By: Jack |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. [...]
Let’s wrap this one up: Bravo, boys
By: Jack |Sure, I’m angry. Yes, I’m pi**ed. But, really, what can you do?
Chelsea left it all on the pitch Wednesday, coming within seconds of a second consecutive appearance in the Champions League final. Those who wanted football got it; the Blue, for large portions of the match, toyed with the Barcelona defense. Well, let’s be honest [...]
Match Recap: Blessing in disguise?
By: Jack |“If you concede because you are outplayed or outpaced you get angry but, when you calm down, you accept it Âhappens in football,” said manager Guus Hiddink, after Chelsea nearly blew a four-goal lead in a 4-3 win over Bolton on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
