I guess that's why they call it the Blues Brighton 3-0 Chelsea That's five league defeats in a row - all without scoring. Seven defeats in eight games. They now are not only seven points behind fifth-placed Liverpool, but are also behind Brighton, who overtake them to move into sixth place. Their current run of defeats is their worst since 1912 - the year of the Titanic sinking. That stat invites the obvious headlines. This is simply not the sort of summary you expect from th

By Alessandro Schiavone While Arsenal look increasingly likely to cement their serial bottlers status once more on current form following their 2-1 defeat at Man City yesterday, their hated rivals from down the road Tottenham Hotspur are flirting with a shock relegation, and two-time European kings Chelsea could miss out on the Champions League once again, with fifth-placed Liverpool now holding a SEVEN-point lead. And that with only five fixtures left to negotiate before

United completed the double with Saturday night win at the Bridge Premier League Chelsea (0) 0 Man United (1) 1 Cunha 43 The mood is becoming more toxic by the week. Chelsea continued their dismal run of form with a fourth successive defeat without scoring - leaving Champions League qualification hopes in the balance. They lie sixth and will need Aston Villa to win the Europa League for that placing to be enough. Fifth is starting to look very difficult unless they can turn

Pressure mounting for Liam : Picture by @YTJourno There's no disgrace to losing to a Man City who have the April scent of trophies in their nostrils. Other Chelsea bosses have tried and failed since Thomas Tuchel guided the Blues to a Champions League final win over them five years ago. After all, 12 attempts since then had come and gone unsuccessfully before the latest setback against the Citizens - a 3-0 thumping at the Bridge on Sunday. But there is little doubt that this

Up against his old team - Cole Palmer adorns the match programme Premier League Chelsea (0) 0 Manchester City (0) 3 O'Reilly 51, Guehi 57, Doku 68 Chelsea's decent first-half showing paled into insignificance as Man City went up the gears to secure the win which takes them to within six points of Arsenal in the title race. It leaves the Blues with much work to do if they are to claim a Champions League spot by finishing in the top five places. They remain four points behind

Pensioners v Valiants at Stamford Bridge. Pic by @JTaylorSport Chelsea 7-0 Port Vale ‘We’re on our way to Wembley’. The big screens at Stamford Bridge wasted no time in reassuring the Chelsea rank and file as the Blues eased into the FA Cup semi finals with a handsome victory over Port Vale. A professional demonstration of the gulf between the Premier League and League One was very much in evidence, on a day that Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior relished in the wake of four straigh

Feeling the heat : Picture by @YTJourno In the end, it was pretty much a massacre. And a feeble one at that, with little resistance on show. Chelsea shipped two early goals against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night to virtually flatline their hopes before they could even stir. Already 5-2 down from the first leg, there was to be no way back. It seemed somehow entirely in keeping with the week the club has had, with a defeat to Newcastle United, the huddle fiasco, news that

Before those hopes were crushed. Pre kick-off at the Bridge : Picture by @YTJourno Champions League Rd 16 2nd leg Chelsea (0) 0 Paris Saint-Germain (2) 3 Kvaratskhelia 6, Barcola 14, Mayulu 62 Aggregate: 2-8 They may like to bill themselves as world champions after winning the Infantino Cup in the summer against PSG over in the USA, but no one can be in any doubt who the stronger side are. The Champions League holders simply blew Chelsea away with a masterly display of swagge

Blues v Magpies. Pic by @JTaylorSport Chelsea 0 Newcastle United 1 Liam Rosenior lamented Chelsea’s shortcomings after a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge. It was an evening for shining a spotlight on the disciplined Tynesiders, who performed a masterclass in organisation, to the extent that the Blues spent virtually the entire second half in utterly unconvincing manner. A listlessness spread across the Chelsea, and events of the last few da

Wrexham 2 v Chelsea 4 (aet) FA Cup Fifth Round Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at the Racecourse Ground Alejandro Garnacho must love Wales. The Argentinian winger has played a pivotal role in both of Chelsea’s challenging visits to the principality in the cups this season, being vital to victories at Cardiff City and now Wrexham. Garnacho scored the first and last goals in overcoming Cardiff City 1-3 in the quarter-finals of the Football League Cup in December, after being b
