Published four years ago, and this little beauty is still rocking well inside the Top 100 in Amazon’s “European Football Leagues” chart. And now it’s on offer coinciding with my birthday. Can there be a better reason to go out and buy your copy now? https://t.co/OI48PjIfCp

is the story of a dazzling football dream. Built on the club successes of Ajax and Feyenoord, it's a utopian ideal that blazed with a bright but ephemeral Oranje flame, scorching the football pitches...

With the mounting injury list, it’s difficult bit to assume that the price of a summer tournament, especially going all the way to winning it, is now being paid as players react to almost continual game action with no meaningful break to regenerate. #cfc

By the early months of 2012, it was clear that the appointment of Andre Villas-Boas as head coach at Chelsea wasn't delivering the required success. Instead, the club was spiralling towards its worst...

Colwill’s injury is a blow and a setback for the lad himself. It may mean, however, that any plan to sell Trevoh are now consigned to the bin that they belong in.

It’s not going to happen, but I’d take Donnarumma in an heartbeat. A big upgrade on Sanchez, only 26 and fills in the gap at the back that’s been an undeniable weak link for a couple of seasons. Others may disagree, fair enough but, if it happens - unlikely - I’d celebrate.

Few Blues fans truly expected Chelsea to lift the Club World Cup. It was an outstanding achievement, but as unexpected triumphs against the odds go, few - if any - could compare to our first Champions League triumph. Get the book and relive the story here https://t.co/JYgQ7NH1A4

Jeez. There’s a fair bit of bellyaching from Blues fans here. Finished fourth. Champions League and a European Final to come. Steady on guys, it’s going in the tight direction with plenty of added quality to cone in tbd summer.

That craziness of Nico may have fatally damaged our Champions League aspirations.

We’ll, that was a surprisingly efficient and professionally delivered 45. I’d really, really like to get used to that sort of performance. #Chelsea #KTBFFH #CFC #foreverblue

Much better second-half. Noni sparked some life into the attack and great to see George get his goal. Was Cole injured or was it tbe plan just to play him for 45? Nkunku looks bereft of confidence, a more than decent player, but still looking for a role in the team it seems.

Even years after their publication, well impressed to see @ootb2012, @DutchMasters73, @BridesmaidsIn and @O_Jogo_Bonito70 still featuring well in their Amazon sales categories. If you’re looking for a great football read over Easter, go get one! #books @PitchPublishing.

Sometimes, it feels like the #Chelsea plan is to keep the ball, pass it around and around and around. Then, when everybody’s asleep, perhaps try and score. I know we’re missing a striker but the tactics seem so impotent, without any threat at all. #cfc #KTBFFH
