There is a saying that ‘all well if ends well,’ and it holds true with Chelsea who was in news for its complaint against referee Mark Clattenburg claiming he used offensive or rather racial language against its player John Obi Mikel. That incident created a storm among racial watchdogs of the society, especially English football association. Recently, all the charges against Mark Clattenburg were dismissed by governing body citing they did not find anything against him, disciplinary committee even held player himself responsible of such an incident if happened, coz despite being connected via microphones, no assistant referee or other officers listened the said words as leveled by Chelsea. Ever since the case was dismissed, Chelsea was on the back foot, and everybody was expecting it to regret about whole episode which has now happened - at last! Now, Chelsea has openly accepted that it was wrong to exaggerate the issue which should have not done by a club like Chelsea. It also … [Read more...]
Clattenburg Cleared by FA, Chelsea is on the black foot
In a high profile racial abuse case last month, Chelsea filed a complaint of referee Mark Clattenburg accusing him using an abusive language to its Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel. That case got widest publicity, perhaps Clattenburg got banned for the time being. Now, FA ruled off all the racial allegations leveled by Chelsea, and said; it was Mikel who would have provoked the referee else there was no misconduct done by him. Actually, racial abuses have become intolerable these days, and that’s why after Terry’s case, English FA seems to be investigating every complaint it encounters with quickly. It is less than one month that event happened and FA has reached on a conclusion and decided in Referee’s favor. Notably, Clattenburg is a world’s most experienced soccer official who has been in FIFA elite penal and took charge of Olympic final at London 2012. Chelsea seems to be on the back foot after this judgment, perhaps, now, the pressure is on it to prove that there was actually … [Read more...]

Chelsea skipper out for three weeks
John Terry is a most famous name these days as far Chelsea is concerned but for erroneous reasons. For now, there are no allegations leveled against him nor has he used any racial abusive language to anyone. Let’s keep it simple, John Terry, Chelsea’s skipper, is out for at least three weeks after he injured his knee when he collided with Luis Suarez in 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday. His injury looked serious initially when he was taken off the field on a stretcher, but later, injury was not found as serious as it was predicted earlier. Blues coach Roberto Di Matteo said “With Terry, we're looking at approximately three weeks out, fortunately it's not as bad as we first thought.” Actually, it was an unlucky day for Terry coz he just returned after a four matches’ suspension and got a forced leave again. However, the good news is, he scored the only goal from Chelsea side in 20th minute of the game. Quoting his injury as unfortunate, Matteo said, “Terry's injury was unfortunate as … [Read more...]

According to some news, Chelsea looks interested in him though there is no confirmed report from either side. Over his Chelsea transfer, he said, “There is interest in me.
