2011
Player profile – Ramires

Chelsea vs Villa – The Odds
Chelsea are a top priced 1.3 with Paddy Power to round off the year with a win over Aston villa at Stamford Bridge, and in truth they should not need to be at their best to bag all three points.Players’ New Years Resolutions
With 2012 fast approaching, it’s that time when we start to think about our New Year’s resolutions. Below are my ideas what the players may choose. Feel free to add your own in the comments section.
Chelsea need new Blood
We need more strength and depth in the squad to challenge in the Premier League title race. This season our squad has been too inconsistent, we earned draws where we should have won and lost games that could have been draws.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa – Will Lamps ruin Villa’s day again?
With the Blues 11 points behind the two Manchester clubs Andre Villas-Boas’ first priority but now be to ensure the club makes it into next season’s Champions League.
The Drog is a wanted man
It has been reported that Didier Drogba is wanted by a third Chinese club.
Malouda going home???
There are mounting rumours that Florent Malouda could move to Paris St Germain in the January window.
AVB will be given time
Despite Andre Villas-Boas’ unimpressive start to the season it is believed that his job is safe.
One point lane?
Three-point lane, a degrading term used in bravado over the years by cheeky Chelsea fans to taunt their London rivals Tottenham Hotspurs.
Chelsea vs Fulham: The Odds
Chelsea are 1.3 shots to beat Fulham in their Boxing Day clash at The Bridge, and if the stats are anything to go by then they really should take care of their neighbours and get back on the winning trail.
Inconsistency, our bane
Just when we thought we had turned the corner, just when we thought we had rediscovered the touch, then came the annoying draw, against whom? Wigan! And more stupefying is that, Cech, of all goalies, spilled it at the death of the game. And that absurd could prove to be a major set-back in the season for us. I really hope not.
The midweek round-up
The 20,000 goal was scored in the midweek Premier League matches with teams finalising their positions in the table for Christmas.
Chelsea FC: I feel like ferNANDOS tonight
There are many small things that frustrate me in life: people who lick their finger to turn a page, people who feel obliged to fold their jumpers around their waist, even people who slurp their drinks or soup. But when it comes to Chelsea FC, there is one rather big problem – the lack of starting opportunities for Fernando Torres.
The midweek preview
It’s the battle for third place on Thursday as North Londoners Tottenham Hotspur take on West Londoners Chelsea.
