What A Week That Was!?!?!?!

First there was the classic FA Cup draw with Tottenham after being 3-1 down, but really we should never have been 3-1 down in the first place.

Then away to Man City a few days later and we win that with a Frank Lampard penalty and then yesterday beating Neil Warnock's Sheff Utd 3-0, giving Chelsea a SIXTH STRAIGHT Premierhip win, without conceding a goal.

Then in between the games there has been a 'piranha' press feeding frenzy on the futures of Messrs Jose, JT and Frank Lampard. Michael Essien has no doubts about where he wants to be. He signed a new five year deal on Monday.

But what about Jose? Jose has said time and time again that he WILL stay with the club until his contract expires in 2010. The press are saying that Jose will be sacked at the end of this season - whether he wins any more trophies or not!!!

On Monday Chelsea travel to Tottenham for the cup replay and will be looking for a much better performance than the one they gave at Stamford Bridge over a week ago (at least in the first-half).

    FA Cup

    Should Chelsea overcome Tottenham in next Monday's replay then Blackburn will be our semi-final opponents.

    It is highly unlikely that the venues for the semi-finals will be decided before the semi-final replays have been decided.

    If you saw the game yesterday as a neutral you must have felt that you were in football heaven - what a game, what a classic - two teams showing the world what English FA Cup football is all about. Who says the FA Cup is dead!!!

    As a Tottenham fan, you must be gutted that your team threw away a two goal, but judging the pre-match comments that I had read, you were going to Stamford Bridge in more expectation than hope.

    As a Chelsea fan, you are wondering what the hell happened for the Blues to be 3-1 down at half-time. 3 goals conceded in the first half at Stamford Bridge!!! It was a complete nightmare without taking anything away from Tottenham and their fans. All 6,000 + packed into The Shed!!!

    But we witnessed it, we saw it and come the half-time whistle - it was a relief to hear it!!!

    But credit where credit is due. Jose swung it around and did it his OWN way. A Kalou equaliser four minutes from time gave Chelsea a deserved draw more for their fightback in the second half than for their performance in the first half.

    Either The Shev could have won it for Chelsea or Defoe for Tottenham in the very last minutes but the game ended a draw and we all have to go through the emotions all over again on Monday (19th March), for the right to face Blackburn Rovers in the semi-final.

    Valencia in the Champions League

    We avoided the Manure of Man Utd and the Scum of Liverpool and we got Valencia of Spain, after the massacre in the Mestilla from Tuesday night.

    But first we need to concentrate on the FA Cup against hopefully a tired Spurs side on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.

    And if there are any Americans visiting this site - ITS FOOTBALL - not SOCCER

    More to come later
