Latest News

Drogba.

Some great news for us Chelsea fans, not so for the Ivory Coast in this years African Cup of Nations, is that Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou will be returning to the Chelsea squad early after their exit in the Quarter Finals to Algeria.

This is great news for us as it bolsters the squad in time for a run of games we have in the next two weeks which can go a long way to define our season.

Cup Draw.

Another fantastic Cup draw after beating Preston 2-0 on Saturday. We have avoided the Premier League clubs once more and have drawn Cardiff at the Bridge. With United, Liverpool and now Arsenal out of the competition you have to say we are clear favourites to retain our title. But, there is still some way to go but this draw helps us out alot!!

Essien.
It was bad news for Chelsea with news that Michael Essien will be out for 4-6 weeks after injuring his knee when he was out with the Ghana squad for the African Nations. This is a major blow for us. Mikel is still away, Belletti picked up and injury on Saturday so we are exposed in that position. Let's see what happens tomorrow night. Best wishes to Essien for a speedy recovery and to get back in the team asap!

Joe Cole & Anelka's contracts.
It has been worrying times for me with news of these two's contract talks stalling with Chelsea. Of course as soon as the news broke about each of them the rumour mill kicked into full flow with City and Spurs being rumoured to be after Cole and Anelka looking to leave. I personally think this is rubbish as Chelsea know just how important both of them are to us. Joe needs to get back playing his best as he has stuggled since he has come back into the team and Nico just needs to keep doing what he is doing. At the moment there is nobody better and a more consistant performer in the Premier League. Sort them out asap Chelsea!
