There are some cracking Premier League matches in store this weekend but, for once, it appears that Liverpool v Man United is being somewhat overshadowed by a fixture taking place a few miles away on Saturday. The match at Eastlands is sure to be a spicy, especially considering the events of 1st September, where there […]

Deco hasn’t been a Blues player for very long, but that hasn’t stopped the Portuguese playmaker from making siren-like calls to a potential Chelsea signing. You might think that the club have already got a glittering array of talent at their disposal, but it appears it’s not just the likes of Kenyon and Scolari who […]

Poor old Michael Ballack. Nobody can deny that this guy is a class act in the middle of the park, although he must have been born under a bad sign after finishing runner-up in every competition last season, apart from the FA Cup final (his team were beaten by Barnsley in that competition).

The Blues have been making fools of themselves all summer in the transfer market, missing out on their three top targets (Kaka, Ribery and Torres), while signing a player (Deco) who is on the wrong side of 30 and unlikely to get any better than he was at Barcelona.

Chelsea were up to their old tricks again today as they splashed millions of pounds on a superstar name. Sometimes its just because they can, sometimes its because the board (or Mr R.
