Why Chelsea Deserve More Credit Than They Are Getting

While most football fans have been discussing either the fine form of Arsenal this season, or Jekyll and Hyde displays from Manchester City, Chelsea have quietly been going about their business and are now only two points off top spot after their 1-0 victory at home to Swansea yesterday afternoon.

Forget Guarin, Chelsea Should Be Going All Out For This Midfielder With 86% Pass Success

Jose Mourinho is a man who knows what he's doing. The Portuguese coach has won two Champions League trophies, five league titles and a host of other accolades, both as gaffer and individually.
