West Ham 1 - 3 Chelsea


First of all, I would like to say "SELAMAT HARI RAYA" to all the Chelsea fans in Brunei!

Chelsea's 100% winning streak continues as they demolished West Ham United easily.

Chelsea's starting eleven was without Alex and Malouda, who were both rested for the upcoming Champions League match in midweek and Lampard who was out due to injury. John Terry's partner in center-half was Ivanovic with Ashley Cole and Paulo Ferreira both at leftback and rightback respectively. Chelsea's midfield was a debut for Ramires, John Obi Mikel and Michael Essien taking on the free role. The strikers were Anelka, Drogba and Kalou.

Chelsea controlled the game from start to finish and the fans didn't have to wait long for the first goal which came as early as the 3rd minute.

Michael Essien scored two goals in this match and the other goal was scored unintentionally by Salomon Kalou.

Not much of a surprise there and now Chelsea will face MSK Zilina.

Chelsea 2 - 0 Stoke City


The champions won again after goals from Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba saw off Stoke City.

Chelsea dominated the match from the start and it could've been worse for Stoke City if not for Sorensen, who saved so many shots and even one from the penalty spot by Frank Lampard.

The first goal was scored by Malouda after a nicely done through-pass from the captain, John Terry.

Chelsea's second goal was scored by Didier Drogba from the penalty spot. Sorensen saved one from earlier on, but couldn't do nothing this time.

Ramires made his debut for Chelsea, coming in for Michael Essien.

Next Saturday, the champions will face Avram Grant's West Ham away.

UPTHEBLUES!!

Wigan 0 Chelsea 6


Chelsea dominated the whole entire game and smashed Wigan with 6 goals without reply!

The first half of the game was dominated by Wigan with more ball possesion, but they failed to get any goal pass Petr Cech. Chelsea's first goal was easily scored by Florent Malouda after Wigan's keeper saved a shot from Frank Lampard.

Chelsea then started the second half with an early 48th minute goal by Nicolas Anelka, with Jon Obi Mikel passing a wonderful long ball. Four minutes later, Anelka scored another goal and this time was assisted by Didier Drogba.

Chelsea changed Florent Malouda with Salomon Kalou and Essien with Benayoun and both of them was on the score-sheet with Kalou scoring twice and Benayoun getting the sixth goal and his first for Chelsea since his move from Liverpool.

Didier Drogba may have not scored a goal, but he assisted three of them unselfishly.

So, there you go, another week, another Chelsea smashing win!

UPTHEBLUES!

RAMIRES SIGNS FOR CHELSEA!

Chelsea has officially signed Ramires from Benfica in a deal reported to be 17mil pounds.

The Brazilian playmaker will join his new Chelsea mates next week and he said: " Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and its a great opportunity that was given to me. I will give my best to repay this chance and I am very happy."

Mr. Ancelloti, who was delighted with the arrival of Ramires said: " He is a fantastic player, a fantastic midfielder, he is very young and will be the future of the Brazilian national team and I hope he will be the future of Chelsea."

PREVIEW: Chelsea vs West Bromwich

Chelsea will start defending their Barclays Premier League Crown against the newcomers, West Bromwich at Stamford Bridge. It will also be a return for a former Chelsea man, now turned manager of West Bromwich, Roberto Di Matteo.

Starting line-up:

PETR CECH, DROGBA and Alex are all fit to face West Brom. But, bad news is Frank Lampard is a doubt after picking up an ankle knock on England duty. New boy, Yossi Benayoun, is most likely to take his place.

Here are my starting eleven prediction:
Cech, Terry, Cole, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Essien, Lampard, Kalou, Malouda, Anelka, Drogba.

Chelsea fans in Brunei, don't miss tonight's game, LIVE on ASTRO SUPERSPORT3 (Channel 817), 12.30am!

CFC: BPL & FA CUP Champions 2009/2010



"Carefree, wherever we may be, because we are the famous CFC!"

No words can express how I feel as a Chelsea fan...AND I know that goes to all of you Blues out there in Brunei! Although we didn't get to win the Champions League trophy, but winning the BPL and the FA CUP makes up for it.

Not bad for "KING" Carlo Ancelotti, winning the double in his very first season managing Chelsea.

Inter Milan 2 Chelsea 1




Jose Mourinho couldn't be much more happier after his side won at home against his old club with a 2-1 scoreline.

Inter Milan scored an early goal through Diego Milito in the 3rd minute but Chelsea dominated most of the first half. Didier Drogba took a free-kick (more like a penalty kick to him!) but the ball hit off the bar.

Then came the talking point, Salomon Kalou was clearly tripped by Samuel inside the penalty box and Chelsea should've been given a penalty. But the ref didn't see that. After the game, even Samuel admitted that it was a foul and that he was very lucky, no penalty was given.

Second half, Chelsea levelled the scoreline with a nicely placed shot from Kalou. But Chelsea was caught sleeping as Inter attacked and got one back from Cambiasso's blistering strike.

Not long after the goal, Petr Cech had to come off with a calf injury and he was replaced by one of Mourinho's signing, Hilario.

Eventhough Mourinho won this time, but it will be hard for him and his men when they come to Fortress Stamford Bridge in the second leg.

It's far from over guys! UPTHEBLUES!!

Chelsea 2 Arsenal 0


That was a BIG BIG BIG win!!

We have proven again and again that against the big teams, we are the real deal! Two fantastic goals from our hitman, Didier Drogba was enough to bring us back to the top where we belong!Not forgetting to mention that Drogba almost had a third goal when his thunderbolt free kick hit the bar!

Who was the man of the match for you? For me, it was between Petr Cech and Drogba. Petr Cech was excellent having to save shots after shots! But Chelsea's defending was a joy to watch! Reminds me of the old Jose Mourinho days when our defense was the best in the world and still is!

After this, I'm sure Arsene Wenger has something to say.....as always..

Blues Forever!

Hull 1 Chelsea 1


Chelsea shared the points with Hull at the KC Stadium.

From what I saw, Chelsea started to play their game after being one goal behind. Chances after chances came but we could not find the goal winner.

Our defending from set pieces was again showing some vulnerability. But the defenders did very well, just that our attacking players weren't quite as sharp as I expected. Probably fatigue has set in as Chelsea played 3 games in just 7 days!

Now, we look forward to the game against Arsenal.

Burnley 1 Chelsea 2


Before the match, John Terry was hit with a sex scandal and the Burnley fans didn't spare him any and booed him everytime he had the ball. But I guess the boos he got, just made him even stronger by scoring the winning header!

The first goal was scored by Nicolas Anelka.

With the win, Chelsea are still at the top of the table with a 4 point gap.

Tonight, all eyes are on Arsenal vs Manchester United. If they draw, and if Chelsea win their next game, that would mean a 6 point gap.

UPTHEBLUESS

Saturday, January 30, 2010


All the tabloids in the UK are saying that John Terry had a secret affair with former team-mate and current England team-mate, Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend.

And with all that, people are wanting John Terry to resign or get stripped off his captaincy for England!

I'm not saying that I like what John Terry did (if it was true!), but to strip him off England's Captain or even dropping him from the squad is absolutely stupid! There is no other english player that I can think of who is better than John Terry as a captain.

But this isn't the first time John Terry has been hit with scandals. There were stories that his mum once shoplifted, his dad selling cocaine and now this sex scandal. All I can say is that ONLY THE DATE ON THE NEWSPAPER IS RIGHT, THE OTHERS ARE JUST PLAIN BS!

Leave JOHN TERRY aloneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

F.A Cup: Preston 0 Chelsea 2


Chelsea won. No big surprise. Anelka and Sturridge scored.

With Chelsea the only big team left in the F.A cup, I just can't help but believe that Chelsea can win it so easily! United and Liverpool were dumped earlier and Arsenal were the next victim after they lost to Stoke City last night.

The draw has been made and Chelsea are to face Championship side, Cardiff on our home ground, Stamford Bridge! Another easy win, if u ask me!

Chelsea 7 Sunderland 2


Simply the best! I thought it would be tough for us, but it was easy-peasy lemon squeasy!

I would have to say that it was the best attacking football play I've seen us so far.

NICOLAS ANELKA for me made the big difference. Without him, we struggle, even if we had Drogba in the team, but Anelka gives that slight attacking edge. But tonight, every player out there was simply amazing!

Well done boys! Now, who's next? Upthebluesssss!

CHELSEA GOSSIP

Yesterday was a disappointing night as Chelsea's away game with Hull was postponed due to the unplayable weather conditions. So today, I'm just gonna update you guys on the transfer news!

Many tabloids have linked so many strikers with Chelsea for weeks now and I found some of them quite amusing!


The News!

Spanish side Atletico Madrid are believed to have offered to sell Sergio Aguero, 21, to Chelsea for £30m, providing they can have the striker back on loan for the rest of the season.


Chelsea have entered the race to sign German striker Kevin Kuranyi. The 27-year-old Schalke striker has also held talks with Sunderland.


Chelsea are ready to swoop for £36m Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko, the Stamford Bridge outfit are ready to offer straight cash for the big Bosnian front man, where as fellow suitors AC Milan want to try and do a swap deal.


Chelsea have been linked with a move for Italian striker Giampaolo Pazzini for £22m but Sampdoria will only let him leave if the 25-year-old is loaned back to them for the rest of the season.


Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is lining up a £4m bid for Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey as a replacement for Didier Drogba, who will be absent for four weeks at the Africa Cup of Nations.


Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh, 25, has said the Gunners are "pressurising" him to join them - but he will ignore them to stay with Bordeaux. The Morocco striker says five other Premier League clubs have approached him - Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Everton and Sunderland.

F.A Cup : Chelsea 5 Watford 0


BUSINESS as usual for the men in blue as they go through to the next round in the F.A Cup with a 5-0 win against Watford.

There was no LIVE coverage on TV and it had to happen when Chelsea scores 5 goals and mind you, this was done without the African Boys and Nicolas Anelka!

The hero for Chelsea was Daniel Sturridge who scored 2 of the 5 goals and the other 3 coming from Malouda, Lampard and an own goal.
