Troy Palmer

My name is Troy Palmer, and I hail from Down Under, Australia. More so, I was born in Bowraville, a little country town in the north of New South Wales. After I finished my HSC, I moved to Sydney to be closer to the Sydney Cochlear Implant Centre, because I am profoundly deaf. I have two cochlear implants, love soccer, in particular Chelsea FC, and have recently set up a Chelsea blog to gain writing experince: http://thechelseablue.blogspot.com/. On this site I will be posting the opinon articles that I write, and Review and Preview articles will be Chelsea Blue exclusive.

Is Arsene Wenger afraid of The Big Bad Wolf?

Just admit that you're afraid of me!

When the Guus Hiddink genius rolled into town two months ago to replace Luis Felipe Scolari, few could be forgiven for feeling a bit of worry that Hiddink, yes Hiddink, was rocking up to take over Chelsea. Robin van Persie was part of what must have been a very large crew cursing their luck about…
