Andriy Shevchenko is finally ending his time at Chelsea. The Ukranian agreed to return to former club Dynamo Kiev three day ago, the club where it all started for him some 15 years prior.

By: Jack | 2 Comments
King Carlo brought the ruckus today in his first press conference as Chelsea manager.
Among the highlights…
Carlo’s sense of humor: When asked about the future of England’s Brave John Terry, the Italian said he didn’t know if EBJT would be captain next season — then admitted to a bit of tomfoolery. Gotta love it.
