Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard – former West Ham player, now plays for Chelsea and is one of the best midfielders in the Premiership, despite what his critics say. In my view, he plays far too much football and should take breaks – plus he’s never found the right manager or the tactical approach to help him do well on the international stage since 2004/2005.

AVB: Wrong man for a transitional time
“It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.” Those were the words of Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams when addressing the IRA in 2005. They also provide a pretty accurate commentary of Andre Villas Boas’ tumultuous reign at Chelsea. The…
England WAGs
2010 was not the best year for an English football fan. Lots of ups and downs but it was more of a downhill journey. With rumors exploding left and right and captaincy being tossed around like an unclipped grenade, it was chaotic. Fabio Capello had a tough job. If managing a side like England wasn’t…
Fernando Torres: Liverpool’s Gain, Chelsea’s Loss
Failure to find the back of the net once again, this time versus Wigan, has seen the goal drought of Fernando Torres extend to a remarkable twelve (12) hours.

Chelsea’s Number 9: Nine Games, 0 Goals. Why isn’t Torres scoring?
Fernando Torres has now gone nine Chelsea appearances without scoring a single goal. He has appeared three times in the Champions League and made six appearances in the Premiership where he has started all but one league game.

Chelsea Have Left It Too Late, And Why Arsenal Can Beat Manchester United
The games seem to be fizzing by our eyes as we hurtle headlong toward the nub-end of the season though, mercifully, this weekend (5-7th March) represents a chance for the poor, over-saturated footballing pilgrim to come up for air and take stock – proffering forth, as it does, a clear, concise and full round of…
Chelsea WAGs
Chelsea is a club of the rich and famous, or at least that’s how they carry themselves. From the oligarch owner to the WAG humping center-back, every one walks around like a king. They sure were the king of the hill as their defense of the double started with 12 goals in the first two…
10 Great Football Player Rivalries
Pele vs. Diego Maradona Brazil’s #10 vs. Argentina’s #10. The man who won three World Cups versus the man who won the World Cup almost single-handedly (pun intended). The man who became a football ambassador and businessman versus the man who became a drug-taking, journalist-shooting controversy. It’s the classic player vs. player rivalry. Which is…
The Soccerlens Cheaters And Scoundrels XI
Soccerlens bring to you: The Cheaters XI – which is basically just the England squad of the last five or so years (plus a few peripherals) which, you can’t help but feel, may say more about the British tabloid press than it does about the skewed fidelity of our nation’s footballing protagonists! 1.
