Where did Chelsea blow the Premiership?
There were a slew of questionable performances -- and results -- from Chelsea this season. Many of these could be seen as reasoning as to why the Blues failed to capture their third Prem crown in four years. Which particular one do you think was the most devastating? Or was it an injury to or lack of form from a certain player that cost us valuable points (Sidwell)? And no, I'm not arguing that Manchester United shouldn't have won the league title. Fergie's boys certainly are deserving champions.
Chelsea 1, Wigan 1 -- April 14 08
What can you say about this match? A drab performance, probably worthy of the final result. Funny enough, Wigan had the edge in possession that night, 52-48. Ultimately, wastefulness in front of goal cost us -- the Blues put 10 shots on goal.
Chelsea 4, Aston Villa 4 -- Dec. 26 07
This was just gar-bage. Boxing Day produced the worst for Chelsea, Gareth Barry converting a 90th-minute penalty to snatch a point at the Bridge. Barry's spot kick arrived just two minutes after Ballack had "presumably" won it for us. This one hurts a little more than the others for me, just on the fact that its a penalty that cost us.
Tottenham 4, Chelsea 4 -- March 19 08
Robbie Keane drove the dagger in here two minutes from full time. One of the most thrilling matches of the season no doubt, one that drove me to throw furniture all over my apartment.
Chelsea 1-1 Everton -- Nov. 11 07
Tim Cahill pops up with the leveler in the 90th. Sound familiar? This in a game where we had 60 percent of the possession and a 10-2 shots on goal advantage.
Season over
And that's the end of that. A pretty ho-hum victory over Sunderland. The only goal game from Theo Walcott, who was played in by Gilberto. Great pass, great finish. Hopefully those two will be have a consistent present on the pitche next season.
There isn't much to say from the ...

Luisao "Interested" in Move to Fratton Park
With Sol Campbell looking set to join Villareal, it is looking increasingly likely that the man trusted with the job of replacing the Sol man is Benfica's Luisao.
"I would be interested in moving to England if I receive the right offer,” said Luisao.
"I have a deal with Benfica ...

Last day Blues...
Birmingham 4-1 Blackburn
I wrote most of this post, then my PC froze, and I've lost it all, so I won't say much. The scoreline flattered Birmingham, but you get the impression that the team didn't particularly want to go to Lithuania sometime in July. Fair-play if I'm honest. The Intertoto is not just tiresome for ...

Spurs 0 - 2 LFC
I'm glad to see we ended the season with another win and even more glad to see one final goal by El Niño. It's unfortunate that the Reds spent most of the season trying to figure out who to put where, but now that the system is in ...

Somehow they found a way...
Unbelievable.
No, honestly, what has transpired the past 5 weeks is Hollywood blockbuster fodder. Stuff you learn in middle school, only to find out isn't true past high school. Narrative's that our post post-modern society all but got rid of.
But somehow, those lads from SW6 turned around a season of despair. A season that every sane fan wrote off two months ago. A season where the manager(s), players, and owner were routinely slammed in the British and American media.
