If Ancelotti Isn’t In Control At Chelsea, Just Who Is?

As Sunday afternoon slowly leeched away into Sunday evening, Chelsea suddenly found themselves prompted into quickly quashing the growing rumours that a minor dip in his side’s form and a recent, supposedly critical, undermining of his administrative authority had left manager Carlo Ancelotti dallying over his position at the club.

Chelsea’s bad run still leaves them in pole position

3 points in 4 games is not what Chelsea supporters have come to expect in the past couple of years. This is not a pleasant moment to be a supporter of Chelsea but, although there are few positives to be taken from the last 3 weeks, it’s not all bad news.

The Curious Case of England

It was a coming together of two world powers, so to speak. An England side that seems to have lost their way took on a France side that seems to be finding theirs. Both were still in the process of trying to blot out the same caustic memory of a depressing World Cup. Since June’s…

The Worst of Times for Chelsea?

Bah. So Sunday’s thrashing at the feet of Sunderland at the Bridge should be a wakeup call to all of Chelsea nation.

Manchester United can’t win, Manchester City won’t win, and Mourinho never lost at Stamford Bridge

For those fans whose expectations of this year’s Premier League title race were shaped by the English press orgasming over Chelsea’s prowess, I have to burst your bubble – Chelsea haven’t won the title yet. It’s only November, and you don’t win titles in November. You can lose them (as Liverpool did last year, or…

Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland Goal Highlights (14 November 2010)

Probably the biggest shocker of the season so far, Sunderland completely overwhelmed Chelsea with three goals at the Stamford Bridge. Their loss to Liverpool seems to have shattered their winning mentality big time as the final score may well have been four or even five goals in the favor of the Blues. But it was…

Bendtner Threatens To Quit Arsenal As Chelsea Chase ‘Ronaldo’

Arsenal’s vainglorious striker Niklas Bendtner has never been one for the subtle understatement, lest we forget that it was only a few months ago he claimed himself to be the ‘greatest goalscorer in the world’ during an interview with FIFA.com – haughty declarations which he has since tempered (he now ‘plans to become’ the greatest…
