Confessions of a young blogger

Two years . That's how long this blog has been active ....so to speak. For the best part of the last  two years there were no posts in this blog . Just one draft , about somethng that happened two years ago . I don't even recollect what it was that happened but it must have been something the 15 year old me thought was "important" . I remember that evening . I sat down to type my heart out when my mom called me in for dinner . After that I never found time to complete that post . Truth is , I never made time to complete that post . Earlier this month I promised myself that I would revive my blog . And since it's holiday season I'm sure I'll find plenty of time to think about what to write ! I have  made a decison to invite guest writers to write something in my blog from time to time ! It's an idea one of my friends ( Vilas Pavitran  http://downthewindingroad.weebly.com ) suggested to me and I found it  interesting  ! So I'm going to give it a sho

Roman desires

Post the manchester united loss at old trafford , Chelsea's title quest was all but finished. From that moment on Carlo Ancelotti would have known his job was on the line. And then a draw against Newcastle United and a loss to Everton in the season finale meant C.A was going to join a line of 8 Chelsea managers in the Abramovic era , fired for not being up to the mark. He won the domestic double in his first term as chelsea boss , and ended up empty handed in the next . Ancelotti was a fan and player favourite , still is . Was Abramovic justified in sacking this man ? When I come to think of it from a purely business oriented perspective , he was ! Mr Abramovic owns the club . His biggest dream for the club is to win the champions league  . It's what every fan wants too ! He has spent a lot of money on the club and he expects returns and when that fails to happen , the cheque book turns into an axe . No title , no job . simple as that ! But , from a footballing perspective , wh

Liverpool was , pardon my language ( no better way to put this ) , screwing up in ways people thought was not possible ,going to 11th in the table at one point, and tottenham and arsenal piling the pressure on teams above them in the premier league and the champions league .  And then came chelsea's "december disaster" ! Seven key players ,Lampard (who was out since august) , Drogba , Alex , Benayoun ,Essien ,Ivanovic ,and Zhirkov all out and chelsea was playing with an almost second string squad . Points dropped , games lost , confidence low , everything that should not be happening to a football club , all hit us at once ! Chelsea dropped to fourth in the table with people feeling we won't secure a champions league spot for nex
