Football and Fashion – Do they mix?
After waking up to see the photos over most newspapers and sport websites this morning of Didier Drogba in his interesting outfit at Oktoberfest, we thought we would trawl the archives to seek out the worst dressed Chelsea star.

Players Ratings – Top Ten Chelsea Performers so far …
After eight matches, six in the Premier League, one Champions League, and one Carling Cup, I have picked my top ten performers so far.
Torres – 25 goals this season!!!
Just as I thought, it was just a matter of time until we would see a revival of Fernando Torres, sadly his miss and red card have overshaddowed the fact he has scored two in two.
Lampard must accept new role for the team
Personally I don’t think Lampard’s sitting on the bench should be a matter of form. I see it as the best tactical play that we can adopt. There is so much noise about it, and it just doesn’t make sense. Giggs has been coming from the bench for years and look what he gives Manchester United.
Valencia – Mata to start from the bench
Valencia fans are still smarting from the loss of Juan Mata to us, the draw brings him back after just a month, this time not as a protector but a tormentor. It is going to be a very emotional match, one where I hope Mata shines.
Chelsea FC: Frank-ly too old?
There’s growing evidence that Premier League teams are starting to introduce their youth players. Manchester United started with Danny Welbeck and Tom Cleverley, Arsenal had Emmanuel Frimpong, Aston Villa called-up Barry Bannan and Liverpool still play Jamie Carragher.

Winning the penalty: Rating our players against Fulham
If Mourinho was in charge, we would have killed the game in the first half, but then we would have lacked the opportunity to see the depth of our squad. Every blue I have talked with enjoyed the youngsters who stole the day – Nobody was found wanting.

Blues take on the Swans
You have to go back to November 1925 for the last time that Swansea beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, so it’s no surprise that the bookies are offering just 1.2 about a victory for the Blues.
