How would you fill the sudden gaping lack of girly footballers in your life?
Poor Guus Hiddink has been missing life at Chelsea. The sight of Didier Drogba straightening his hair after training, Frank Lampard topping up his fake tan and John Terry doing his nails has been missing from the Dutchman’s daily existence.
But he [...]

Carlo Ancelotti also accustomed to flouting the smoking ban
As Guus Hiddink walks off into the sunset with the FA Cup under his arm, his cigar in his mouth and one eye looking out for any representatives from Brent Council who might like to fine him, Chelsea have wasted no time in appointing Carlo Ancelotti as [...]

Dutchman’s fat cigar broke regulations
When we say “could face fine” what we mean is ‘clever tabloid journalist spots law-breaking and builds story out of it’. I suspect we won’t see Guus Hiddink extradited from Russia to pay a smoking fine, but he did break the law nonetheless.

3. Guus Hiddink’s mystery daydream goalscoring hero must have been Juliano Belletti. That [...]

Chelsea boss is a daydream believer
It seems Guus Hiddink can’t wait for Chelsea’s clash with Barcelona tomorrow - so much so he has already imagined the match twice!
If he wasn’t so successful, you would think he was a total nutter, but Hiddink says he always plays games out in his head before the real thing. [...]

1. That ought to be enough for Chelsea. I can’t see Liverpool scoring three without reply at Stamford Bridge.
2. Branislav Ivanovic’s monk head was probably the last body part I expected to settle this tie.
3. Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink was not leading us on a wild Guus chase when he promised to attack Liverpool. And [...]
