Chelsea News And Links: Tuesday 28th February

95% of the internet is just media spin and speculation and so I'm sure Villas-Boas will agree wholeheartedly on this idea. Because despite the best efforts of Graham and Stephen's in covering Chelsea (at great cost to their sleeping patterns, I'm sure), sometimes there's news we miss at WAG, and sometimes there are just interesting links people should read hanging around on the internet. Hopefully I can keep this a regular thing, which means hopefully you'll be able to only have to read the interesting stuff; first, the Chelsea related news.

This was written last week, but it's a good look from Michael Cox of Zonal Marking at Chelsea's managers during the Roman era - albeit a bit of glossying over key facts, but interesting nonetheless.

European Clubs Clinch Deal With UEFA To Cut Internationals - Guardian Football
Internationals are a hot topic right now, and mainly because of the risk of injury- but fortunately the number of times we're going to have to bite our nails praying to the injury gods is likely to be cut following agreements between UEFA and FIFA. Obviously there's a lot more negoiation and discussion before we reach a definite conclusion, but it's nice to know that the governing bodies are picking up on this issue and giving it some traction.

This is rather cool, and it's nice to see that not all football stadiums have to lose their identity (cough, Emirates). Hope whoever is our new stadium architect shares the same idea.

Someone should get this going for Malouda's frequent change of styles - personally, I think the theory is the worse Florent's hair is, the better Chelsea play.
