Scolari’s First Game: The Old Boys Done Good!

So, Scolari’s taken charge of his first game for Chelsea, albeit against the weaker opposition of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical and chalked up a fairly comfortable 4-0 win.
The new Chelsea boss put out a strong side, making use of new signing Deco alongside Lampard, who graced the Chelsea side with his presence for the whole game. [...]

Chelsea Fall Flat As Utd Take The Title

Watching the build up to this one all seemed a bit surreal – the closest title race ever in the history of the Premier League and somehow we’d got ourselves involved in it. Maybe it should’ve sunk in by today, after all, it’s all anyone’s talked about since we took 3 points off Utd, but [...]

Newcastle 0-2 Chelsea: Pushing Our Luck (& Utd) To Final Day

Grant obviously felt he could get away with a bit of tinkering today, making five changes to the side who’d enjoyed a midweek victory over Liverpool. Obviously they’ve had a couple of pretty hard games and he’ll be mindful of keeping players injury-free for the Champions League final, but risk aside, I’m not sure these [...]

A typical Liverpool v Chelsea encounter without too much to get excited about, particularly during a [...]

Everton 0-1 Chelsea

All a bit surreal really, but anyway, a mere 3 days after seeing the title slip away from us for the second year in succession with a 1-1 at home to Wigan, here we go again. Having benevolently rested some of his key players on Monday (oh but to have a boss like that), Grant [...]
