Fans ready to paint Moscow blue

PLANES, trains and automobiles, intrepid Blues (and Reds) are utilising any means available to get to Moscow.

Not beautiful game but we’ve earned our place

LAST Wednesday was one of those special Stamford Bridge nights. The Liverpool fans were virtually silent throughout — they knew what was coming and it seemed that the Chelsea crowd knew too as we roared the team to Moscow.

Wed, 07 May, 2008

Can Grant’s luck hold out?

WELL, what a great week that was to be a Chelsea fan! The Liverpool game was hilarious. We were awful and deserved nothing from the game — which is what made Riise’s intervention even more fantastic. Right in the middle of a rendition of “You’ll Ne-ver Wa-alk Al……oh”. Cue mental abandon in the Chelsea end. I still have the bruises.

Our soldiers of fortune keeping my hopes alive

WATCHING the Everton game on TV was unbearable; firstly my “mates” thought it hilarious to send pictures and phone me during the match; secondly, having to sit and listen to the biased commentary and the obvious disappointment when Chelsea won was rather annoying.

Wed, 23 Apr, 2008

Grant, you blue it and you know it

WELL THAT’S that then — another management masterclass by the genius that is Avram Grant and another potential trophy goes down the pan.

Wed, 16 Apr, 2008

Special fans make it a Turkish delight
WELL, I’ve returned from Istanbul safe and sound and have had all pre-conceived views of the city and its people blown away. It has to be one of my favourite trips of recent times for a whole host of reasons.

Wed, 09 Apr, 2008

Bluer than ever as Grant saps our spirit
NEVER in my Chelsea-supporting career have I felt so much as though I were simply going through the motions. We won on Sunday, and regained second spot, from arch-rivals Arsenal — not that anyone seemed to notice, or care much, to tell the truth. The feelgood factor that I have always got from football, even in some of our darkest hours, seems to have gone.

Wed, 02 Apr, 2008

Grant-ed he did well, Spurs loss still hurts
WHAT A day Sunday turned out to be. After the Tottenham debacle I feared the worst, and when we went 1-0 down I thought that was it.

Wed, 26 Mar, 2008

Gunning down Arsenal a must for Normal One
YOU’D have thought that a win that bought us within touching distance of the top two would create a stir amongst the Chelsea fans but we were in a subdued mood as we streamed out of the Stadium of Light.

Wed, 19 Mar, 2008

No-good Grant should be shipped out now
SCHADENFREUDE — “The malicious joy in the misfortunes of others.” I thought I’d start with that so that Liverpool fans are aware that I know what it means.
