    The Sexy Football Calendar of 2014

    In 2013, it was all about the managers. In 2014, the sexy football calendar takes shots at the big wigs of the sport (Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini) and a player or two as well, giving a sexy, funny and insulting vision on some of the sport’s most powerful people, which shouldn’t be taken seriously all the time.

    Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Can’t Help Himself When It Comes To Insulting Predecessors

    It’s no secret that Jose Mourinho isn’t the biggest fan of Rafa Benitez, so it’s no surprise that before the season even began, he diminishes what the Spanish manager did with Chelsea last season, which is reach the Champions League and win the Europa League title.

    Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres, the Man Who Has Almost Everything

    While Frank Lampard and John Terry continue to annoy everyone with their urgency to rush over to lift that trophy like they own more than anyone else, there are others who deserve more praise for yet another successful finish to a Chelsea season, this time with a Europa League title. Fernando Torres, who has now won everything but a league championship; Juan Mata, who is in the same boat as Torres, only with less criticism about his ability; and Rafa Benitez, who is leaving with a smile, and as a winner.

    Chelsea FC – Rafa Benitez is a Success

    No titles yet for Rafa Benitez, but at least he made it out of the huge minefield that was trying to keep Chelsea in the top 4 club and qualify into the Champions League. His rough start meant there will be no Premier League title, but despite the lack of ownership support (as always at Stamford Bridge) and quite a lot of fans making their displeasure with him filling the position being heard, the “Spanish waiter” did quite a good job in keeping the ship on the right course, with a chance to add a European trophy to the cabinet.

    Chelsea FC – Eden Hazard Makes Frank Lampard Look Like a Legend

    Standing on the shoulders of giants, or something of the sort, is always a good way to get ahead in life. Frank Lampard is often a tactical vulnerability on the pitch over the last couple of seasons, but it’s hard to take away his scoring ability which derives from his intelligence and off the ball movement. But yet again, the-now top scoring player in the history of Chelsea football club, needed someone, in this case Eden Hazard, to get him to the top.

  • Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres is Always the Wrong Choice

    Chelsea FC – Fernando Torres is Always the Wrong Choice

    All the flair and creativity in the world coming from Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard can’t be enough on their weaker matches, which can be expected in this never ending season for Chelsea, can’t make up for a striker that seems lost, dazed & confused on 90% of his appearances. Rafa Benitez loves rotations, and was burnt by using Fernando Torres instead of Demba Ba.
