Here I said it, thank you Rafael Benitez.
The story of that one hell of a season, an absolute roller-coaster. When we lost to Juventus, I remember I tweeted ” a loss to Manchester City and RDM’s out”. A couple of hours later, Robbie got sacked because “the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the […]
What We Learned: Benfica
What a finish. What an absolute cracker of a match, especially at the end. Ivanovic with the 93rd minute winner. Incredible match. I can’t put it into words! Scorers : Stats : What We Learned : 1. Ramires on the wing – useless 2. Fernando Torres – his turning point? 3. Ivanovic came up big […]
Chelsea 2013: 4-3-2-1 – A shift away from Pragmatism
Chelsea owe a lot to the “parking the bus” formation introduced by fan favourite Roberto Di Matteo; it gave us our maiden piece of silverware in Europe’s most elite club competition. It encouraged the wingers to revert from the high-pressing style of Andre Villas-Boas to a more conservative theme. Di Matteo emphasized the importance of tracking back once […]
The False 9

I bet each and every one of us remember the guy, who was one of the key reasons why Chelsea did the domestic double in 2009-10 season. Fans loved him, oppositions feared him, and neutrals enjoyed him. He was one of the most energetic and visionary players in the league that season, which over-shadowed all […]
The Chelsea Striker Hunt and The Decreasing Options
I don’t know about you guys, but I do love the transfer window and lots of transfer speculation. Few other things in life provide you with the same excitement as the thought of seeing some world class players wearing Chelsea’s blue. Sure, you get some awful and uninspiring rumours but for the most part, as […]
Giving Ramires the Praise he deserves
Someone commented in one of my articles about giving praise to Ramires as he deserve’s it and to be honest he really does. He seems to go by most matches playing consistently well and unnoticed as he is outshone by Mata, Hazard, Oscar or Luiz. He is an engine and gets up and down the […]
Our Strongest XI for Europa League Final
