  1. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    Too much at stake to go bust......

    Folks, I've kept myself deliberately quiet this past week or so and been quite content to let everyone else post their thoughts and opinions about everything that's been going on around the club of late. That's not because I don't have opinions myself, far from it, I just didn't see the point of...

    Terry's Disingenuous Pledge

    If you ever wanted to capture the essence of modern football in just one page, you could do a lot worse than paying a visit to Chelsea's website. Here, behind the splash of adverts for a new kit that looks more like a women's cycling top than a football jersey, you will find John Terry's...

    Tuesday Geography Quiz

    Only 17 of the 50 (not 57 Obama) US states have their largest city as the State capital. How many of the 17 can you name? Clue: Minnesota is not one of the 17 - Minneapolis is the largest city and St Paul is the capital, and are technically separate cities despite being commonly grouped together.
