After Chelsea scored a record 103 goals in the Premier League during their title winning season, I thought I would put on my 'anorak' and record every goal scored at Stamford Bridge - at what end and by who - in a season which turned out to be 'difficult.' For the record, 79 goals were scored in all competitions, of which Chelsea scored 58. Hardly record-breaking stuff, but hey it was fun.
The residents of the Matthew Harding End of Stamford Bridge were the main benefactors of the most goals scored - 43, of which Chelsea scored 34
The Shed End witnessed 36 goals with Chelsea scoring 24.
Florent Malouda was The Bridge's top scorer with 13 goals - 6 at The Shed and 7 at the MH End, followed by Didier Drogba on 8, Didier scoring 4 at each end.
Of the 39 League goals scored by Chelsea, the Matthew Harding End witnessed 22 goals and The Shed 17.
In the Carling Cup, the MH End saw two Chelsea goals scored and The Shed one in the 3-4 defeat by Newcastle United.
In the FA Cup, 8 goals were scored by Chelsea - 4 at each end and 7 of those goals were scored in the 7-0 drubbing of Ipswich Town.
The MH End witnessed 6 of the 8 Chelsea goals scored in the Champions League. All in all Chelsea scored 39 goals in the League and a further 19 in the other competitions.
Chelsea scored in 7 consecutive games at The Shed End scoring 12 goals, whereas at the MH End Chelsea scored 6 goals in 5 consecutive matches.
Both ends had barren 'goal-less' runs by Chelsea: The Shed went 5 games without a Chelsea goal and on 2 occasions, the MH End went goal-less twice.
During the season, Stamford Bridge witnessed 15 different Chelsea goal scorers: van Aanholt, Terry, Anelka, Essien, Malouda, Drogba, Lampard, Kalou, Ivanovic, Sturridge, Luiz, Ramires, Torres, OG.
Shed End goalscorers: Malouda 6, Drogba 4, Lampard 4, Kalou 3, van Aanholt 1, Terry 1, Anelka 1, Essien 1, Ivanovic 1, Sturridge 1, OG 1 - Total: 24
MH End goalscorers: Malouda 7, Anelka 5, Drogba 4, Lampard 4, Ivanovic 3, Kalou 2, Sturridge 2, Luiz 2, Alex 2, Terry 1, Ramires 1, Torres 1 - Total: 34
On 4 occasions, Chelsea failed to find the net: Sunderland and Liverpool in the League and FC Copenhagen and Man Utd in the Champions League.
On 3 occasions, Chelsea conceded 3 or more goals: Sunderland 0-3, Aston Villa 3-3 in the League and Newcastle United 3-4 in the Carling Cup.
On 8 occasions, Chelsea scored 3 or more goals: WBA 6-0, Blackpool 4-0, Aston Villa 3-3, Birmingham City 3-1, West Ham United 3-1 in the League, Newcastle United 3-4 - Carling Cup, Spartak Moscow 4-1 - Champions League and Ipswich Town 7-0 - FA Cup.
