Despite the lack of silverware won, 2007/08 will long remain in Blues' fans memories as an astonishing season.
First there was the managerial departure of Jose Mourinho, then the appointment of Avram Grant, two Cup Final defeats, including that fateful night in Moscow, and a league title race that went down to the wire.
If you want to be reminded of how close Chelsea were to having the most successful season in the club's history, the highs and spectacular lows are recounted in this thorough book which has more the look and feel of an encyclopaedia in both weight and content.
With words by PA Sport contributors and packed full of stats supplied by Actim, this yearbook provides a month-by-month breakdown of how the 2007/08 season panned out in England and Scotland before focusing on each club's individual records.
Full line-ups for every game played by Premier League teams are listed and player performances are placed into 19 separate categories as the smallest details of their season's efforts are examined.
For instance, did you know Joe Cole had the most shots on target for Chelsea with 31 and Alex made the most defensive clearances with 33?
Even goals scored and conceded in matches are broken down to surprisingly show the Blues won all 12 of their league games when they scored two goals but only three of the five games when they scored four or more.
Budding 'Stato's' and quiz fans will love it for the overwhelming amount of facts and figures provided. Alternatively, as a reference tool, this yearbook will surely settle any argument between rival football fans that can't agree on whose team was better last season.I have two copies of the book for you to win.
Simply answer the following question:
