Up And Away!

Last updated : 04 April 2004 By Rich Godden
Gone are the days when Chelsea were considered a soft touch away from home. For this season, our record away from home is actually better than our record at Stamford Bridge!

Away from home we have taken 38 points from 16 games- 3 better off than Arsenal. In a league where teams have struggled away from home all season, we have been helping to dent home records all over the league!

The key to this form has been beating the smaller teams. From 9th place Southampton, down to basement boys Wolves, the only side that we have failed to beat away from home are Leeds United!

In previous years, most Chelsea fans would laugh if you had told them we had beaten all these teams. But if you had told them we would win at Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle then you would be greeted with a shrug of the shoulders!

This truly is a new Chelsea- and as Man Yoo fans will tell you, the Premiership is often won or lost against the so called smaller teams...
