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.

Fergie Time: The Truth About Paul the Octopus

Welcome to Fergie Time, a roundup/newsletter type deal that delivers news, opinion and links directly to your screen. As the name suggests, there will be some exaggeration, nsfw moments, canceled press conferences (oh, who are we kidding) and late, late, late scoring of points. You’ll like it, trust me.

Fantasy Football: Goal Scoring Midfielders and Local Derbies

Every one loves a goal scoring midfielder. Cheslea fans love Frank Lampard, Liverpool fans worship Steven Gerrard, Arsenal fans adore Cesc Fabregas.

The Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game isn’t just a fun way to compete against other football fans and win some prize money. It’s also the next England manager. Or it could be.

Premier League Predictions: Everton to beat Man Utd, Chelsea and Tottenham to Draw

Premier League football returns after the international break that saw it’s usual spate of injuries, outstanding performances and potential returns to form.
