I no this has nothing to do with Chelsea but it is just about the best blog I have read so I thought I should copy and paste for others to read. It comes from the guardian and was not written by me but by a person under the name Blogger B.There is one man in sport who defies convention to such an extent that his actions can only be seen as revolutionary. One man who has become so unfathomably

Phil Scolari has admitted Chelsea's early home form is a worry and could be decisive in the chase for the Championship.Chelsea lost their 86 game unbeaten run at the weekend with a defeat to Liverpool, as well as already drawing two games against Tottenham and Manchester United.When compared to their away form of winning all five games, scoring 14 goals in the process it can be seen why Scolari

John Terry believes there is no midfielder in hotter form than Frank Lampard anywhere in the world.The midfielder is convinced he is in the best form of his life and his superb goal against Hull on Wednesday night goes some way to showing that. It moved his tally to the season to seven, again the highest tally in the league for a midfielder, and is course to break the 20 goal tally for the fourth

Chelsea bounced back from the disappointment of the weekend in emphatic fashion as they fire three past Hull at the KC Stadium.Goals from Lampard, Anelka, and Malouda were enough to see off the surprise team of the season, but had Chelsea been more clinical in front of goal the tally could have been so much more.Frank Lampard put Chelsea ahead after just four minutes with a delicate lob from the
