Unless you took a really long summer break you'll know it's been an eventful time recently for Chelsea FC. What with Ballack's ankle dramas and now the Special One's departure, Chelsea fans are unsurprisingly not in the best of spirits.

What better way to cheer them up then than with some posh comfort food. Teaming up with London's most famous oligarch, the Godfather of chefdom and the man who put the TLC (and some genuine craziness) into Hell's Kitchen, Marco Pierre White is opening his latest venture Marco (after his son) on Stamford Bridge.

With its African black granite and Swarowski crystal interior by Tara Bernerd it's flash enough for the players, and the food, from escalope of foie gras and duck egg on brioche toast to rib-eye with snails, will certainly go down well with the boss. But there's also shepherd's pie and smoked haddock with welsh rarebit glaze on match days to keep us mere mortals happy.
