Bolton 0-1 Chelsea 7th Oct Oct

Bolton 0-1 Chelsea

 Kalou scored with an opportunistic goal for Chelsea Salomon Kalou scored the only goal as Chelsea won in the Premier League for the first time since 25 August.

 It was Chelsea’s first Premier League goal in 460 minutes, Kalou scoring from a tight angle after hesitation between Abdoulaye Meite and Jussi Jaaskelainen.  The Bolton keeper made decent saves from Frank Lampard and Florent Malouda.

Bolton created several chances and Petr Cech denied Kevin Davies, El-Hadji Diouf and Nicolas Anelka, while Stelios Giannakopoulos clipped the crossbar. Boss Sammy Lee went into the fixture having left midfield duo Kevin Nolan and Gary Speed out of the squad.

It was a brave move but the team he did select can perhaps consider themselves unfortunate to lose after taking the match to Chelsea and, in the first half at least, creating numerous openings.

Nonetheless, the result means Bolton have lost three of their four Premier League matches at home and have collected just five points from their nine games to remain anchored in the bottom three.

For Avram Grant, it was his first Premier League victory as Chelsea boss and gives his team back-to-back wins after the Champions League defeat of Valencia in midweek.

Chelsea threatened within a minute, Jaaskelainen saving Kalou’s flicked header, but it was Bolton who stamped their authority over the opening phase of the match.

Danny Guthrie forced Cech into an early save, while the Czech keeper was forced into action again to deny Davies after the stand-in skipper ended a driving run with a low strike.

The visiting team, at the ground where they clinched the Premier League title in 2005, slowly began to assume control of the midfield.

Lampard, back in the side after a thigh injury, made clean contact from 20 yards. Jasskelainen spilled the shot but the ball fell to a Bolton player.

Kalou twice created opportunities for Malouda, first with a brilliant curved pass and then with a header. Malouda wastefully drilled his first strike over the crossbar while Jaaskelainen made an excellent low save from his second effort.

Bolton’s enthusiasm, though, was clear to see and they continued to push forward whenever possible.

Terry, wearing his mask, struggled to contain Davies while Cech saved from Ivan Campo and, after a superb Bolton break, denied Nicolas Anelka.

The home team were made to pay for the moment of hesitation between Meite and Jaaskelainen as they attempted to clear a header into the box.

Kalou seized his chance to steal between the two, resisting an attempt from Meite to wrestle him off the ball before putting Chelsea ahead.

Bolton might have immediately restored parity – and gone into the break on level terms, but Steve Sidwell escaped what appeared to be a handball inside his own area.

Diouf was the next to threaten, climbing to meet a Davies cross but denied by Cech.

Claudio Pizarro replaced the injured Kalou at the break and failed to hit the target with two ambitious strikes, while Joe Cole also missed from distance.

Bolton continued to enjoy their fair share of the play but lacked the penetration they found in the first half.

They had a decent chance when Sidwell was penalised for handball 19 yards from goal but Anelka’s strike cleared the crossbar by some distance.

Substitute Giannakopoulos shaved the crossbar with a header in injury time.

Bolton boss Sammy Lee:
“I was pleased. I don’t want people to misread that but the application of the players was superb. “I’m pleased with the fact we created a number of chances against Chelsea and played some good football. “It was a very solid team performance. We really pushed Chelsea right to the end. The team spirit was superb.”

Chelsea boss Avram Grant:
“We deserved to win. We created more chances. “It is not easy against Bolton but three points is what mattered. It was very good for the team after we did not start the season so well.

“We missed many, many players through either injuries or red cards but we dominated the game.”

Ajax let Chelsea talk to Ten Cate

 

Ten Cate was assistant at Barcelona before taking over at Ajax

Ajax have given Chelsea the green light to open talks with boss Henk ten Cate about adding the Dutchman to the coaching set-up at Stamford Bridge. Ten Cate is expected to join Chelsea as assistant to Avram Grant, who recently succeeded Jose Mourinho as Blues boss.

“Ajax have reached agreement with the English club about the immediate transfer of Henk ten Cate to Chelsea,” said an Ajax statement.

Ajax expect a deal to be finalised quickly but Chelsea are yet to comment.

The statement from the club continued: “After being approached by Chelsea, Henk ten Cate asked the Ajax management last week for permission to start negotiations with the Premier League side.

“After internal deliberations, Ajax granted permission.”

Ten Cate, 52, was formerly assistant to Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard and helped the Catalan club win the Champions League and Spanish title in 2006.

He took over at Ajax at the start of last season and led the club to joint top in his first campaign, with the club losing out on the title by goal difference.

Ajax did win two domestic cup competitions but Ten Cate has endured a more difficult time during the current campaign.

The club went out of the Champions League in the third qualifying round after being beaten by Slavia Prague and were knocked out of the Uefa Cup by Dinamo Zagreb.

Ten Cate’s last game in charge of the Amsterdam outfit was Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Sparta Rotterdam, when he and some of the club’s hierarchy came in for criticism from some fans.

But Ten Cate defended his Ajax record and said afterwards: “What must I say about that? Under my leadership we have played 41 games, gained 92 points and scored over a hundred goals.”

And with clubs currently having a break from domestic action because of players undertaking international duties, it could mean the appointment is in place in time for Chelsea’s next Premier League game – at Middlesbrough on 20 October.

Steve Clarke was Mourinho’s assistant and Chelsea are thought to want him to remain on the staff, despite Ten Cate’s arrival.

Halloween movie

Are you fond of watching a Halloween movie as the Halloween season approaches? However, in deciding what is the best Halloween movie ever is quite hard to do. In doing so, you need to come up with some criteria. One of these criteria is determining how scary the Halloween movie is. Through these criteria, you get the chance of sorting out the best Halloween movie of all time.

Let’s go over to some of the best Halloween movies ever created throughout the years that you can still enjoy watching over and over again up to this current time.

The movie the “Jaws” is regarded as one best Halloween movie because of its category as an excellent horror movie. However, some critics regard this movie as a poor Halloween movie because in reality, there are minimal chances of such great shark attacks during the Halloween season unless you are living on a boat.

Another great Halloween movie of all times is the movie of young Jamie Lee Curtis and Mike Myers during the year 1978 when Mike had become a horror legend as well because of the movie. In this Halloween movie, Mike Myers had brutally and emotionlessly stabbed his sister to death at the age of six during the night of Halloween in year 1963. However, in 1978, Mike had escaped from a mental institution and continued his reign of terror in the hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois.

The “Psycho” is also one great Halloween movie where Norman Bates just like Mike Myers had become a horror legend because of this movie. This movie was directed by listed scary movie directors.

With the torture scenes shown in the movie of “Wolf Creek”, these had made it one of the best Halloween movies of times. The scenes in this Hollywood movie are pretty disturbing than that of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Hills” movies.

“Friday the 13th” is one scary Halloween movie for those people who love to go on camping. The thought some scary hockey mask is running after you in the dark really make the movie as best and scary Halloween movie.

Nothing can beat the 1973 Halloween movie of “The Exorcist as it is the scariest movie of all time. If you get to watch this movie up to this time, it would still creep you out.

Some of the Halloween movies included in the list are the “The Shining”, “Nightmare on Elm Street”, “Hostel”, and the “Saw”.

However, to be able to enjoy watching from any of the abovementioned Halloween movie, you need to watch them with friends as you enjoy eating your favorite Halloween recipes.
