		<description><![CDATA[Jose Mourinho seems destined to return to Chelsea a different man to the one that first arrived in London in 2004. Some things will be different, and some things will be the same – such as the fact that Mourinho will yet again come into conflict with his predecessor. He has never enjoyed a good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chelsea look to reportedly spend upwards of £100m this summer as our rebuilding project nears completion. The below suggestions are all players I have seen with some regularity over the past season. They are players that I believe Chelsea can realistically buy, so players like Lewandowski and Capoue who are linked heavily elsewhere (to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Impatience is a virtue, taking your time is wasting your time. This modern philosophy fuelled a Samsung advertising campaign (a bit of brand Chelsea there, I expect a commission if you are reading this) and has largely seen Chelsea sweep all before them in the Abramovich era. Frankly speaking, I would not swap the past [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the grand scheme of things yesterday’s result against West Bromwich Albion proved two things. The atmosphere in the ground, “toxic” if you wish to believe the Sky sanitisation era, has absolutely nothing to do with performance or results. Benitez, himself, is to blame for mismanagement during matches. Before the inevitable Liverpool cult jump in [...]]]></description>

The lion stares at the ringmaster&#8217;s awful facial hair with a contemptuous look – facial hair, you’re not wanted here. He waddles forward struggling to deal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are few footballing rivalries that merit their own Wikipedia page. The hostility between Leeds United and Chelsea is one of these. Popular supposition is often that the Chelsea and Leeds rivalry emanates from the 1970 FA Cup Final and, particularly, the replay. Not quite true. A few games in preceding years appear to sow [...]]]></description>
