If You Know Your History: Chelsea Times 15/01/07

Jose Mourinho claimed on Saturday after Chelsea's 4-0 drubbing of Wigan that he 'had a £50m player returning on Monday (today). That player of course is goalkeeper Petr Cech who is expected to return for Chelsea at Liverpool on Saturday. Should Petr return, he will be wearing the protective skull cap that he hae been wearing for the last 2 months.

Its still almost a week before the Chelsea match at Liverpool and the banter is already starting with the following stories from Liverpool Online.

Finally the boys won 4-0 on Saturday and Arjen Robben proved how much he has been missed not just by scoring one goal and causing Wigan's 'keeper Chris Kirkland to concede an own goal, but by his overall play in general. I though Arjen Robben was outstanding and the fans were too!!!

The fans certainly made their feelings known to the Chelsea 'establishment' by chanting Jose's name throughout the game and chanting the song, 'Stand up for the Special one,' which drew applause every time the song was sung.
