Bright days for Blues

Bright days for Blues

Aug. 18 | FINALLY, it’s here. This could well be a defining season for Chelsea after a rather lame sixth placing last time out. Hey, at least we won the Champions League. That’s more than what other teams can brag about. Anyway, back to the present. Yes, we...

Football War – A Blue resurgence to be proud of

May. 12 | SO it’s finally come down to the end of the season and what a ride it has been. I have to admit that it has been a largely disappointing season for us Blues supporters. After a promising start by Andre Villas-Boas, things took a turn for the worse and...

Still in with a shout for two Cups

May. 5 | AS they say “Every good thing must eventually come to an end” and that was exactly what happened on Thursday morning. After the high of whipping QPR by six goals, including three by one Fernando Torres, few would have expected us to lose against Newcastle,...

QPR game no big deal for Barca conquerors

QPR game no big deal for Barca conquerors

Apr. 28 | IT was supposed to be the night that the greatest team in Europe – Barcelona – would turn on the style and rack up a cricket score against us. And, for a while, it did seem likely at the imposing Nou Camp. At one-nil down – and with John Terry sent...

After beating the best, who are the Gunners

Apr. 21 | WHEN I told friends and fellow fans that I was confident Chelsea would score a win over Barcelona, I was laughed and ridiculed. Some called me crazy, some called me arrogant, and the hardcore ones even went about saying that a certain Leo Messi will probably...

The Blues are clearly on the rise

Apr. 7 | IN Benfica manager Jorge Jesus’ eyes, Chelsea did not deserve to beat them as they were the better team over two legs in the Champions League quarter-final tie. He also believes that we had a lot of help from Slovenian referee Damir Skomina. In fact,...

Mar. 24 | SO, the winning run under Roberto Di Matteo has finally ended following the 2-1 defeat at Manchester City in midweek. Am I disappointed? Well, it’s never easy to accept defeat when you are one-up. What more in a crucial match where we needed full points...

Di Matteo can bring back the good old days

Di Matteo can bring back the good old days

Mar. 10 | SURPRISE, surprise! There is life in this Chelsea squad after all – especially after Andre Villas-Boas’ sacking. The midweek FA Cup fifth round replay win over Birmingham was a straightforward, if not efficient, one and it gives the Blues hope of...

Baggies will be tricky for Blues

Baggies will be tricky for Blues

Mar. 3 | WHAT a week it has been. We had Manchester United getting real lucky – with a late, late goal as usual – to beat Norwich; Arsenal staging a sensational come-from-behind win against Spurs; and of course Chelsea finally ending a five-game winless run...

Enough of the Blues, guys

Enough of the Blues, guys

Feb. 25 | HONESTLY, this is a convenient moment to suffer from writer’s block. Chelsea have been so bad that there is nothing much one could say in their defence, or otherwise. It has six or seven matches (who is keeping tabs anyway?), without a win for Chelsea....
