Up to now, Luiz Felipe Scolari has seemed like a placid character, stood with his hands in his pockets and watching his team turn in some great performances which has seen them hit the top of the Premier League. However, the Brazilian was riled by the press on Tuesday, when they quizzed him about the […]

While doom and gloom often prevails when a star forward gets sold to another club or happens to be injured for several weeks, there are a couple of London clubs who are seemingly bucking the trend. Over at White Hart Lane, Darren Bent is hungry like a wolf after Tottenham sold Robbie Keane, with the […]

Poor old Avram Grant, he must dread it every time he picks up a newspaper at the moment. Since Salomon Kalou admitted last week that Chelsea had been too defensive under their former coach, and that they were too afraid to attack, others have started to make their feelings better known. I guess the positive […]

We asked yesterday whether there was a bottler or two in the Chelsea camp when it came to taking penalties and the answer appears in today’s Daily Mail. Nicolas Anelka may well have stepped up to take a spot-kick for the Blues, but he was actually on the original list of five takers, only for […]

The Daily Mail report that none other than Blues legend Gianluca Vialli has stated that the Ivorian will be joining a Milan club in the summer, finally bringing to an end the season-long speculation that […]

As his former team Milan prepare to line up against Arsenal in tonight’s Champions League clash, how Andriy Shevchenko must wish he too was adorning the red and black shirt of the Rossoneri, rather than sitting on the sidelines at Stamford Bridge. The Daily Mail report that the Ukrainian captain suffered further indignity yesterday evening […]

The Guardian report that Chelsea manager Avram Grant is set to take a calculated risk in Greece this evening by leaving out John Terry, Frank Lampard and Nicolas Anelka from his starting XI. It had been widely assumed that the England pair would start against Olympiakos after they both came through the FA Cup clash […]

Not for the first time this season, Liverpool lacked a cutting edge in their game at Stamford Bridge. Although this was mainly due to the defensive formation employed and the injury to Fernando Torres, Reds captain Steven Gerrard has admitted that he’s still ruing the day when the club allowed Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka to leave […]
