Israel international Ben Haim completed a move to Chelsea on a free transfer in June 2007, turning down the chance to link up again with former manager Sam Allardyce at Newcastle United.

The central defender was out of contract at Bolton Wanderers and moved to Stamford Bridge after a mooted move in the January transfer window didn't materialise as Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich refused to loosen the purse strings.

Ben Haim did not move to Chelsea to become an automatic first choice, but to add much needed strength to a back line which was often stretched in 2006/07.

The player moved in England in July 2004 for a small, undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £150,000. He moved to Bolton from Maccabi Tel Aviv and signed a three-year contract after spending two weeks on trial at the Lancashire club.

He moved to the Premiership as a championship winner with Maccabi.

The season of 2006/2007 is ended by Manchester United was proven they are not push over by Chelsea to take the lead.Congratulation to them honestly...

However, we should not to feel regret or dissapointed as we are successfull to own 2 prestigious cups that one of those is never collected by Jose Mourinho since he took a responsibility of Chelsea's manager 2 years ago which is FA Cup. To be a memoriable moment, Chelsea has proved that they still strong enough to challenge the leader Manchester United for the next season by winning FA Cup Final after beating them 1-0 goal from an excellent striker Didier Drogba.

It is certain to say all players can sleep well and tight and wake up with a positive mind and set the target to keep on top next season.

Chelsea Classy

2007-05-23T08:54:00.000-07:00

Didier Drogba scored the goal which won the FA Cup five minutes from the end of extra-time.

Chelsea have now won the FA Cup four times. Two evenly matched teams ran themselves into the ground covering and defending, and so it was almost two hours of cautious deadlock.

The game started at a snail's pace. Drogba's header from Bridge's cross after two minutes was the first effort but was way too high.

United's tactics were slightly surprising. The midfield was a diamond with Fletcher on the right and Scholes on the left ahead of Carrick, and Giggs at the front behind striker Rooney. Ronaldo camped on the left-wing to battle with Ferreira.

Honorary Chelsea VP dies after copter crash

2007-05-03T05:37:00.000-07:00

An honorary vice president of Chelsea and his son, flying back from the Champions League match at Liverpool, were killed when their helicopter crashed less than mile from home.
Millionaire businessman Phillip Carter and his teenage son Andrew died when the Twin Squirrel helicopter came down in the early hours in Wansford, Cambridgeshire.

Carter, founder of training firm Carter & Carter, now worth more than £500million, was one of eight honorary vice presidents of Chelsea. He was travelling back from last night's semi-final second-leg clash at Anfield to his sprawling country home at Thornhaugh Hall.
Two other men, pilot Stephen Holdich, 49, and Carter's friend Jonathan Waller, a 42-year-old debt collector, also died in the crash.

The aircraft - call sign G-BYPA - disappeared from radar screens just after midnight after taking off from John Lennon Airport in Liverpool. Search helicopters from RAF Wittering spent the morning scouring land near Wansford, including forests, farmland, quarries and a landfill site. The wreckage was found in woodland near the village and investigators from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch spent the day at the scene.

It is thought the helicopter may have been heading for a cricket field landing pad at the Haycock Hotel, in Wansford, which is run by Carter's wife Judith

"We still the best"-Jose

2007-05-03T05:31:00.000-07:00

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claimed the Blues were the better team on the night as his side crashed out of the Champions League on penalties to Liverpool. Liverpool won the match on the night 1-0 thanks to Dan Agger's first-half strike which levelled the tie at 1-1.

But with neither side able to break the deadlock after extra time, the Reds held their nerve to win 4-1 on penalties with Dirk Kuyt scoring the winning spot-kick.

'It is a moment when everybody has to be strong,' he told ITV.
'They (the Chelsea players) have a lot of reasons to be proud. They did a great run in the Champions League. 'We were the best team today, even against a team only playing for the Champions League. 'In extra-time we were the only team who tried to win, but football is like that and the penalty shoot-out is part of the game.'

Mourinho also denied that his comments in the build-up to the game had provided a spur for Liverpool.

Chelsea's title DOWN

2007-04-30T04:41:00.000-07:00

Chelsea really shows that they wont bring the EPL title to Stamford Bridge this season as the team only draw with Bolton at home. Bolton had shown that they were not pushover by Chelsea as they want to see and ensure that Chelsea would never kiss the cup of EPL for season 2006/2007.

However, Solomon Kalou should be given an honour as he scored two heading goals to make Chelsea in front before Kevin Davies scored for equalizer at beat Petr Cech.

For the poor match with Bolton, Jose Mourinho should find another great tactical approach on how to streght the defences as we see it would easily exploded if the rival make counter attack..

Another move to the FINAL

2007-04-13T08:40:00.000-07:00

Jose Mourinho hailed his Chelsea side's amazing team spirit after they fought back to earn a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League thanks to a sensational last-gasp winner from Michael Essien.

The Blues' dreams of reaching the last four looked over when former Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes had given Valencia a first-half lead on the night and a 2-1 aggregate advantage.

But Chelsea's resilience, honed during a season of serious injuries to key personnel, brought them back from the brink once more and their manager could not hide his delight as they reached the semi-finals for the second time in three years.

Mourinho said: 'It was a great performance, especially in the second half. A great performance against a good team. We had a difficult start and were losing 1-0 and out of the competition.

'But the second half was amazing. We dominated the second half but I did not have to give a hot half-time talk. I was just telling my players to be strong and to have a strong mentality.

Lampard wants action to stop pitch invasions

2007-03-20T22:25:00.000-07:00

England midfielder Frank Lampard has called for action to prevent any repetition of the attack he faced from a fan at Tottehnam Hotspur in the FA Cup.

Chelsea had just won the quarter-final replay at 2-1 at White Hart Lane on Monday and Lampard was celebrating in front of the Chelsea supporters when a fan ran on to the pitch and took a swing at him.

'It did shock me,' Lampard told reporters on Tuesday as he prepared for England's Euro 2008 qualifier against Israel on Saturday.

'Fortunately I saw it coming and was prepared for it and luckily ducked out the way. It wasn't as bad as it could have been as an incident. But I hope that doesn't happen to me or anyone else again.

'It was strange. It was awkward, someone running at you like that... Fans have come on the pitch before but not with that kind of aggressive nature.

'Emotions run high and I don't want to stand here and criticise too much.'

But he added: 'Of course, the measures need to be taken to make sure it doesn't happen again

Title showdown moved to May

2007-03-20T22:22:00.000-07:00

Manchester United's crucial Premiership showdown with Chelsea has been re-arranged for Wednesday, May 9.

The game was due to be played at Stamford Bridge on April 14 but with both sides qualifying for the FA Cup semi-finals, it was automatically postponed.

Although there had been some suggestion it could be scheduled to a date after the end of the Premier League season on May 13, league officials said the move was not possible.

It means the game, which will be televised by Sky Sports, will now be the second last game of the campaign for both sides meaning that if United continue to maintain their current six-point lead, the title will already be secure because of their vastly superior goal difference

Chelsea has been draw to face with Valencia and luckily all three English clubs would not meet each other with speculation vote. The possible situation may occur in Champion League Final which two English clubs will face each other. Year 2005 saw two greater clubs Chelsea and Liverpool faced in semi-finals with the result Chelsea lost 2-1 with controversial winning goal from Luis Garcia.

Chelsea is trying to record the first winning of Champion League title for 52 years in club history and even it is impossible, for Jose Mourinho he implied that the chance still have if the team make more struggle to win. Other clubs qualified for the quarter-finals is Milan with 6 records winning the title, Manchester United (2), Bayer Munich (4), Liverpool (5) and PSV Eindhoven (1) Roma used to go to final 1984 but it had lost to Liverpool.

Carling cup goes to Stamford Bridge

2007-02-28T03:38:00.000-08:00

Two goals from Didier Drogba is enough to see Jose’s team brought the first title for this season and diminished all rumors that the spirit of Chelsea’s player is going down. The match at Millineum stadium also put in history after Chelsea’s captain John terry is been forced to carry away after sickening blow to the head. Terry was knocked unconscious and need oxygen as he left the field an hour into Chelsea's Carling Cup final win over Arsenal after he was caught flush in the face by Abou Diaby's boot as the pair challenged for a loose ball in the Gunners' box.

Happily, the Blues captain was able to return to the stadium after a hospital check-up to join in the victory celebrations. The big fighting also happened between John Obi Mikel and Kolo Toure saw them to sent off by the referee and also Adebayor followed the step after that. Frank Lampard and Fabregas were given yellow card since both of them interrupted the fight. The target of Jose Mourinho to complete all four titles going to Stamford Bridge this season, he had given a signal to all clubs that he had very seriously in this manner to brought Chelsea be the most competitors club in the world.

The victory of Chelsea is been watched by its owner and even Roman knows Jose is very talented, he still make himself questionable about the future of him.

Roman,Jose and Chelsea

2007-02-21T00:12:00.000-08:00

Chelsea had won 4 consecutive games in row without an appearance from the owner, Roman Abramovich in the match. It does not be the problem for Jose’s team since he still with the club and he control the tactic not the owner. But the speculation that Jose will leave the club still hearing and even it had been disputed and denied by Chief executive officer of Chelsea, Peter Kenyon that Jose will stay until the due of his contract. Didier Drogba pledged that this speculation affected the performance of the team currently even Chelsea still unbeaten after its last defeated by Totentham. However he also concerns that Jose still has commitment to the team and always telling and motivating the team to win on the field.

Maybe this is why Jose been called the special one because he knew how to separate the external problem while he sitting and seeing the team on the field. Roman Abramovich is also an important person in the club since he shared his rich with Jose by approving him to use his cheque book and we can see many stars had fill almost every position in the team. The question is, who is should be dismiss from this club? Is it Roman? I don’t think so because he is the one which control the management. If it is so easy to say that Jose Mourinho should be out? Is it too abusive to loose someone who gave Chelsea two title in row for English Premier League and clean the record of 50 years of last winner?

Both of them I can say that never leave and do not leave because both of them is binding together to monitor Chelsea to win the relentless of another title which is Champion League. Roman is in the stadium while he saw Jose’s team defeats Norwich for FA Cup match and he should reconsider to ignore all problems leading the team and concern about the future of the club and fans. The team and fans is already matched with Jose’s acting and behavior.

The crest of Chelsea

2007-02-17T22:05:00.000-08:00

Since the club's foundation, Chelsea has five main crests, and it is all variations. In 1905, Chelsea adopted as their first crest the image of a “Chelsea pensioner”, which obviously contributed to the "pensioner" nickname, and remained for the next half-century, though it never appeared on the shirts. When Ted Drake handled the club from 1952 onwards, he insisted that the pensioner badge be removed from the match day programmed in order to change the club's image and that a new crest be adopted. As a stop-gap, a temporary emblem comprising simply the initials C.F.C. was adopted for one year. In 1953, Chelsea's crest was changed to an upright blue lion looking backwards and holding a staff, which was to endure for the next three decades. This crest was based on elements in the coat of arms of the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea with the "lion rampant regard ant" taken from the arms of then club president Viscount Chelsea and the staff from the Abbots of Westminster, former Lords of the Manor of Chelsea. This was also the first club badge to appear on shirts

Since the policy of putting the crest on the shirts was only adopted in the early 1960s.In 1986, with new owners now at the club, Chelsea's crest was changed again as part of another attempt to analyze and to capitalize on new marketing opportunities. The new badge featured a more naturalistic non-heraldic lion, yellow and not blue, standing over the C.F.C. initials. It lasted for the next 19 years, with some modifications such as the use of different colors. With new ownership, and the club's centenary approaching, combined with demands from fans for the club's traditional badge to be restored, it was decided that the crest should be changed again in 2004. The new crest was officially adopted for the start of the 2005-06 seasons and marks a return to the older design of the blue heraldic lion holding a staff. Currently the crest had returned to the old one with the lion looking backward and holding the staff but it is more realistic and profitable display.

The home of Stamford bridge

2007-02-15T05:03:00.000-08:00

Chelsea has only one home ground, Stamford Bridge, where they have played since the foundation of the club. It was officially opened on 28 April 1877.It was used almost exclusively by the London Athletics Club for the first 28 years as an arena for athletics meetings and not at all for football. In 1904 the ground was acquired by businessman Gus Mears and his brother, J T Mears, who had previously acquired additional land (formerly a large market garden) with the aim of staging football matches on the now 12.5 acre (51,000 m²) site.

Stamford Bridge has an original capacity of around 100,000 and was largely open with one huge three tiered stand, the East Stand, being at one side of the pitch and this stand, opened in 1973, has been retained and the developers have taken advantage of the fact that the 'old' Stamford Bridge was oval shaped and stretched the new stands right around the ground filling the corners, so that the ground is totally enclosed. The team dug outs are located on this side of the stadium.

Both ends are two tiered, with the North Stand now renamed the Matthew Harding Stand in memory of the man who did so much to transform the club. Below the roof of the Shed End, is a Police Control Box, which keeps a look out over proceedings. The new West Stand is a superb three tiered affair having a row of executive boxes running across its middle, the type of which you are able to sit outside. Its roof is virtually transparent, allowing more light to reach the pitch and gives it a unique look.

The record holder for Stamford Bridge regarding to the attendance is 82,905 during the match between Chelsea and Arsenal for division on October 12, 1935

Tonight's revenge

2007-02-10T04:27:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow early morning at 1.30 am, there is one thing that needs to be settled off by our team Chelsea. They will face Middlesbrough and the have to beat them to seek revenge as they have beaten Jose Mourinho squad and be the one who beat Chelsea starting this season. With undefeated record at home certainly will see Chelsea will beat Middlesbrough hopefully with a big score. With the crisis of injuries to his squad, Jose needs to make a comprehensive tactical to preserve the dignity and retain undefeated record forever at home. Mourinho had already lost Wayne Bridge earlier in the week and Ashley Cole and Joe Cole will definitely out of field for a long term injuries. But with the return of dedicated captain John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho in central defence and the best goalkeeper in the world Peter Cech, Chelsea have enough quality to beat middlesbrough and to over push the lead Manchester United even it seems to hard with a gap of six points but for Jose, there is no possible for him.

For Chelsea to beat Middlesbrough tonight, they have to see and control some players that need to be covered fully in the match such as Mark Viduka who scored the goal when the first match at the Riverside stadium and also Yakubu that have been in good form of late, and also Malcolm Christie also available. However, we believe that Frank Lampard, Micheal Essien, Makelele will control the Middle field in proper manner and the good striker Andriy Shevchenko and the return of Didier Drogba will make Borough’s defence chaos and crowded. I bid Chelsea will beat Middlesbrough with 3-0.

Jose Mourinho the "Special One"

2007-02-09T01:33:00.000-08:00

Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea wants the best personnel in all areas - and usually they get their man. When searching for a new manager it was clear they weren't going to settle for anything other than the best - and, according to the man they appointed, that's what they got. Jose Mourinho been called as “Special One” His rise from being a mere translator to managing the richest club in the world has been nothing short of dream.

Despite his father Felix having represented the Portuguese national team as a goalkeeper but Mourinho never played professionally and instead, from a relatively young age, focused his sights only on a coaching career.

He had held low-profile positions at Estrela Amadora and Vitoria Setubal before taking his first high-profile role in football in 1992 when appointed to work under Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon. Mourinho initially worked as a translator to Robson, but he turned out to be much more than a linguist. From an early age he had been fascinated by football tactics and impressed by his attention to detail, work ethic and passion, for that reason, Bobby Robson would give him increasingly more responsibility with the first team. His tactical insight soon became apparent and he gradually became more involved in team affairs, impressing in the training sessions which he took.

Mourinho had clearly caught Robson's attention, which had a feeling that Jose would make it to the top one day: 'What struck me about Mourinho was that he was a student of football. He was very intelligent, enthusiastic and was very keen to learn.
'He never said to me that he wanted to be a head coach, but I had a feeling that one day he would go a long way in the game. He had great confidence in his own ability.

And when Robson moved on to Porto in 1993, it was no surprise that he took his good friend and colleague with him; Mourinho duly became his assistant manager. The Robson and Mourinho partnership began to click. In three years at Porto, they clinched two titles.
The Robson-Mourinho combo moved on to Barcelona in 1996, where they won a pair of Spanish Cups (1997 and 1998) and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1997. However, the Nou Camp was to be the last staging post for the partnership.

In 1998 Robson received an offer from PSV Eindhoven that was too good to refuse - and instead of following his tutor to another new club, Mourinho decided to chance his arm away from Robson and stayed on at Barca in a coaching capacity, this time under new manager Louis Van Gaal.
However, he was forced out of the job as Van Gaal tried, unsuccessfully, to re-unite the coaching team that had led Ajax to so much success.
Mourinho did not have long to wait before landing his first full managerial post, when he was appointed Benfica boss in 2000. But his reign was shortlived, lasting only nine games before he resigned due to problems in the boardroom. Porto took note of the young manager's talents, and when their top job became available after a poor start to the 2002/03 season it was immediately offered to Mourinho, who jumped at the chance to have a crack at the league title with a talented squad.However, the now fearless Mourinho had unfinished business with Porto; he was determined to win the Champions League. Season 2003/04 inevitably yielded more success - Porto retained their league title but, of course, the outstanding success was their clinching of the European Cup after a 3-0 victory against Monaco.

His journey became more challenging when Chelsea came calling in May 2004 after he realized he had taken Porto as far as he could go, and jumped at the chance to take on one of Europe's most challenging (and best paid) jobs. Mourinho just shown that he was not afraid to use Abramovich cheque book when he bought such a star players by first taking ex-Porto players Ferreira and Carvalho and the signing of two-season wonder Didier Drogba . It not takes to much time when Mourinho had bought the best keeper in the world Petr Cech and and the best left middle field Arjen Robben. Other star players that he bought were Micheal Essien, Shaun Wright Philips and the new comers for 2006/2007 challenging is “the giant” from the big clubs, Micheal Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko. His solid start to the 2004/05 season saw they won the Premiership title by 12 points from Arsenal and it was the club’s record by winning the title since 50 years and retained to hold that prestige title for 2005/2006 season. This season, Mourinho looks floated when it is rumor that he had no good relation with the owner and also an achievement of the club currently. Located on 2nd position in EPL under Manchester United seems to change his career soon.
