Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has told his side they need to “wake-up” before their hopes of defending their Premier League title evaporate.

The Blues meekly surrendered 3-1 at Arsenal on Monday and have now gone six league matches without a victory and dropped to fourth in the table.”There is a lot of disappointment because the difficult moment continues,” said the Italian.”We are losing position in the table. We have to wake up immediately.”Chelsea went behind to an Alex Song goal against Arsenal before Blues midfielder Michael Essien inadvertently helped the Gunners grab a second through Cesc Fabregas.

Florent Malouda was caught in possession and Arsenal capitalised with Theo Walcott slotting in.Branislav Ivanovic pulled a goal back for a Chelsea but they were ultimately beaten in comfortable fashion.”I think we have a possibility to come back and fight for the title but we cannot have this type of performance in the future,” added Ancelotti.”We don’t have to think about the title, we have to think about moving on from this moment. We have to prepare well for the next game [against Bolton] and try to win.”

Chelsea’s last victory came on 10 November against Fulham but Ancelotti, who led the club to the Premier League and FA Cup double last season, played down suggestions that his job is under threat.When asked about how long Blues owner Roman Abramovich would continue to be patient, Ancelotti replied: “I don’t know. Obviously he won’t be happy at this moment.””I will take my responsibility but this is a question you have to ask him, not me.”I’m not afraid about my job. Everyone said I did a fantastic job last year. Now people are asking me about my job.”We have to do better, obviously. It’s not usual that Chelsea can’t win for six games.”

Ancelotti is understandably concerned about his team’s form and stated: “I’m worried, obviously, because that’s six games we’ve not been able to win.”I didn’t see the team playing the way we want and we had difficulty playing our football.”We’re obviously not so confident playing in this moment. I didn’t expect this defeat. I was surprised by this performance.”I saw very good training sessions this week, so I was surprised by this performance.”

2010

Sheffield Wednesday has the highest number of fans with football banning orders imposed in the last year – 56 – the worst club in any of the leagues.Altogether 79 Wednesday fans are now subject to banning orders, compared to 45 for Sheffield United.And Leeds United again topped the list for the highest total number of fans with football banning orders – 152, which is the worst of any league club.South Yorkshire Police were unable to comment on the sharp rise in banning orders for Wednesday hooligans but there have been several incidents of violence over the last two years.In July last year a gang of Wednesday fans attacked Leeds United supporters on a train between York and Garforth, West Yorkshire. The group – which included Sheffield Wednesday hooligans known to police – attacked five men. The 12 yobs, 11 from Sheffield, were later jailed for a total of 28 years.The numbers of hooligans subject to banning orders in Leeds reflects the “pro-active” approach of West Yorkshire Police that seeks to stop trouble before it happens, according to a spokesman.Officers said that about 500 Leeds fans caused problems from a following of about 25,000.Leeds yobs have also been involved with headline-grabbing disorder in recent years.In March last year a gang of about 25 Leeds fans ambushed a train carrying Bradford City supporters following a derby match.Seven Leeds yobs, aged between 17 and 21, were later sentenced for their part in the violence which left train carriages spattered with blood.The figures showed that overall the number of people arrested for football-related disorder fell by 10 per cent last season.Altogether 3,391 English and Welsh fans were arrested at international and domestic games in 2009-10, down 395 from the previous season.The figures showed there were no arrests at 70 per cent of games and 92 per cent of those individuals whose football banning orders have expired since 2000 were assessed by police as no longer posing a risk of football disorder.In all, 3,248 banning orders were in place on November 19, including 105 against Newcastle United fans – 10 per cent of all the banning orders in the Premier League and the most of any team at that level.In the Championship, Leeds United fans topped the list with 152 banning orders – the most of any club in England and Wales – followed by Cardiff City with 125.
