Been a while…

it’s been a while i’m not on the board. my schedule was so cramp. nevertheless, last week Chelsea has confirm their way to the next round of FA Cup and also the Carling Cup.

the last FA Cup win against Wigan come from good performance from new signing forward,Anelka and England’s winger, SWP. the score 2-1 bring Chelsea to the 5th round against Hudderfields Town at home derby.thanks for both player, their effort has brought Chelsea’s non lost match record to continue.

The next EPL match, Chelsea will face Reading at home ground on 30th Jan. maybe we will able see some new face on field. latest Chelsea’s bargain, Ivanovich and Di Santos still not play a game since their check in at Stamford Bridge. their ability in EPL field still hidden to the fan. a question for the lineup decider.

in the other side of story yesterday,Chelsea has receive a visit from an unexpected visitor. Argentina’s football legend , Diego Maradona are keen to drop his step at the Cobham training complex. the 47 years old player that infamous with ‘Hand of God’ goal knocked England out of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico – spent some time chatting to Blues manager Grant as well as Ballack, striker Andrei Shevchenko and Chelsea’s new Argentinian youngster Franco Di Santo. Di Santo, few days ago has been related to the legend for his play by few news maker.it was a big shock and also a thunderstorm to the player morale. as Shevchenko says “In the world of football he is a hero for every player, he is an incredible player“. hope there will be more shock come to the ground in future.especially the returning of the triumph.
