Chelsea face another Cup Final to secure Third Place 0

Posted on May 18, 2013 by admin

While there may be a sense that our season is over, there is still something to play for. Everton visit the Bridge this Sunday hungry for a final farewell victory for David Moyes. In the aftermath of our fantastic Europa League win in Amsterdam on Wednesday, it would be easy to get complacent and lose focus, but there is still some work to do. Arsenal could yet still pip us to 3rd spot, and quite aside from the bragging rights, we’ve seen how draining an extra-long season like the one we’ve just had can be. Qualification games for the Champions League pope would be an unnecessary annoyance and the team must focus to avoid that eventuality.

Chelsea v Benfica Preview, Line-up and score prediction 13

Posted on May 15, 2013 by admin

Frank Lampard is set to lead Chelsea out as captain for tonight’s all important Europa League final in Amsterdam. The veteran midfielder, who is believed to be on the brink of signing a new one year contract extension, will be the focal point of Chelsea’s midfield spine against an always dangerous Benfica side. The match will be the 68th of Chelsea’s season – far more than they would have anticipated or indeed liked. However, at this stage of the season, the weary legs and bones will be forgotten about. If you can’t get yourself motivated for a European Cup final, then you’re in the wrong sport!

Chelsea v Benfica – Victor Moses must take advantage of Hazard’s injury 3

Posted on May 14, 2013 by admin

Signed from Wigan at the fifth attempt last August for a rumoured £9 million pound transfer fee, Moses has made only 13 starts in the league this season, with only 1 goal to show for it. However, his form in the Europa League has been encouraging in its consistency. Showing some real class, and a distinctive nose for goal in his last four outings, Moses has scored in each. This purple patch, coupled with genuinely solid performances, make a strong case for giving Moses a considerable run in the starting 11.

Benfica midfielder – we can beat this “weakest Chelsea team”! 3

Ahead of this week’s Europa League final clash, Benfica star Pablo Aimar has been talking a good game. The 33 year old Argentinian midfielder has been quite outspoken in his belief that his Benfica have the beating of the Blues. Speaking to The Daily Mirror, Aimar said: “Of course, Chelsea are a big club, but this is not the same team that won the Champions League a year ago,” he said. “This team got knocked out at the group stages. They have not been convincing in Europe or in the Premier League.

Lampard breaks record to become all-time top goalscorer!

As if it was ever in doubt before, Frank Lampard has ensured his name will be remembered in Chelsea football club long after he has hung up his boots. Lampard scored both of Chelsea’s goals in a challenging and hard fought 2-1 victory over relegation strugglers Aston Villa. Lampard’s record equalling 202nd goal was a stereotypical edge of the box smash, while his 203rd was the kind of poacher’s finish that has become synonymous with Lampard. Beating Bobby Tambling’s 43 year old record, Lampard can finally get that particular monkey off his back and focus on his future.

Mourinho set to lead Chelsea back to the top of the Premiership 1

Posted on May 11, 2013 by admin

With Manchester United appointing David Moyes as their new manager, there are now two big Premier League managerial spots to be filled. While Bill Kenwright has a job on his hands to replace the consistent Moyes at Everton, it seems to be accepted by pretty much everyone that Roman has already agreed a deal with Jose Mourinho to return to the club where he really launched himself on the world stage. With the bookies now offering odds as short as 1/12 on Mourinho succeeding Rafa Benitez, it seems inevitable that the special one will return.

Big Things Ahead for Chelsea’s New Right Back 3

Posted on May 10, 2013 by admin

When we announced the signing of Cesar Azpilicueta last season, many fans were left scratching their heads and asking “who?”. Azpi began his career at Spanish side Osasuna, and he soon caught the eye of French giants Marseille. Two impressive seasons for Marseille and one lengthy cruciate ligament injury later and Chelsea came calling with a bid rumoured to be around €7million. In the early games of the season, Azpi looked nervous and out of sorts. It’s a huge step up from Marseille to Chelsea, and it showed. Azpi struggled to cement his place.

Chelsea MUST beat Spurs and shut AVB up! 1

Posted on May 08, 2013 by Admin2

He’s off again. The Portuguese manager (not him, the other not so special one). As Chelsea prepare to welcome Tottenham to Stamford Bridge tonight, there is a great deal at stake. Perhaps that is why Andre Villas-Boas seems to be suffering from verbal diarrhoea, especially when it comes to talking about Chelsea.

Whoever wins the game tonight will take a huge step towards a top four finish and the Chammpions League football it entails. There are quite a lot of bragging rights on offer as well, such as being the best of the London clubs, with Arsenal still in the race, and doing the double over Spurs. What is likely to get the Chelsea players really going, though, is the sniping of the former manager.

AVB – Of course Spurs can beat Chelsea! 1

Posted on May 08, 2013 by admin

The Tottenham manager Andres Villas-Boas is looking to make history by inflicting Chelsea first defeat to their great London rivals at Stamford Bridge in over 20 years. AVB has seen his team beat the other three teams in the top Four this season, and thinks he can get the full set tonight.

“Of course we have the quality,” AVB said. “I am always confident. We have had an excellent season. We beat all the big teams in the country apart from Chelsea.

AVB slams Chelsea- not a good idea before game tomorrow!! 2

Posted on May 07, 2013 by Admin2

Andre Villas-Boas returns to Stamford Bridge tomorrow night for the first time since he was sacked as the manager last March. The 35-year old has spoken before about it and is obviously unhappy with the way he was treated, although he must have known that Abramovich has been going through managers the way most people go through toilet rolls.

His Tottenham side are currently lying outside the Champions League places in fifth place and they desperately need a win to push them above Arsenal. So you would think that AVB would not try to do anything to wind the Chelsea players up and make his task even harder. Well you would be wrong, because the Portuguese coach has suggested that it was the players’ fault he was sacked.
