2009-10 Season
‘Chels guilty of a criminal performance
A policeman’s lot is generally not a happy one but there was at least one copper smiling after this shambolic Kenchels’ performance.

‘Chels overdrawn at the Bank…

The temperature seemed to drop dramatically from the moment we kicked off, leaving us frozen to the spot for much of the game. If a stranded oil tanker had floated up the nearby River Brent, I would not have been surprised.
