  1. The Evening Standard has today pretty much confirmed that David Luiz will be getting a new contract this summer. That’s an easy decision for the board to make at this stage. The Brazilian is out of contract in the summer, and as it stands will be able to walk away from Chelsea, with the club […]View the full article
  2. In case you haven’t heard the news, Eden Hazard might actually be off to Real Madrid this summer. The Telegraph claim that it’s his desire to do so, with Los Blancos already making their move to make the deal happen following Zinedine Zidane’s reappointment. Naturally, Chelsea fans will be fearful. We have so greatly relied […]View the full article
  3. There may be trouble ahead… For years Eden Hazard to Real Madrid has been circulating in the media, but it looks as though it could soon become a reality. Zinedine Zidane, who is widely known to be Hazard’s childhood idol, has taken the hot seat at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the Telegraph reporting that this […]View the full article
  4. Zinedine Zidane is back at Real Madrid, and that could well mean that Eden Hazard’s future is not at Chelsea. The Belgian’s future has long been in doubt, and this latest news may be the thing that tips the balance. It’s pretty hard to find a silver lining to losing your best player for a […]View the full article
  5. Chelsea drew 1-1 against Wolves yesterday, in a game that effectively went exactly as we expected it to. The Blues dominated possession for large periods, without threatening excessively, then were caught on the break to go 1-0 down. Only a late strike from Eden Hazard rescued a point. It was a scenario we’ve seen too […]View the full article
  6. Many Chelsea fans have found it a real struggle watching Maurizio Sarri this season. The Italian manager has been so stubborn in his tactics, team selections and substitutions that it’s seemed at times almost like he’s trolling the fans of the club he manages. Certainly when the Kovacic-Barkley switch was wheeled out for the 20th […]View the full article
  7. Eden Hazard, take a bow. If not for the Belgian, Maurizio Sarri will have been the first Chelsea manager to lose to Wolves at Stamford Bridge for 40 years. That’s something he will have been keen to avoid. Sarri, who was struggling to motivate his players earlier in the season, has appeared to steady the […]View the full article
  8. The starting eleven that Maurizio Sarri has named to face Wolves at Stamford Bridge this afternoon is confirmation that Marcos Alonso has been displaced. This is a change that many Chelsea fans have wanted to see for some time now. Chelsea twitter heavyweight Alex Goldberg created a ‘campaign’ of sorts earlier in the season, with […]View the full article
  9. Well here’s something that we never expected to see on a football pitch in 2019… Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, teammate of Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham, has been punched in the face by a Birmingham City fan – ON THE FIELD! 😡 – “An absolute disgrace!” A fan has run onto the field and attacked Jack […]View the full article
  10. Chelsea lost 2-1 to Wolves when the teams faced off in December, in a game that proved to be pretty important. Having just lost to Tottenham, breaking our unbeaten run, we were in need of positive results to set things right again. And that looked a real possibility after Conor Coady headed in Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s […]View the full article
  11. The Italian press were reporting on Chelsea yesterday, with SportWitness picking up and translating some of the quotes from the continent for us to enjoy. It was an interesting angle on transfers past rather than future, relating to Andreas Christensen. The young Dane was being chased by Juventus in January, and had agreed some level […]View the full article
  12. It will come as no surprise that Chelsea has submitted their official appeal in response to the FIF ruling that they are banned from the next two transfer windows. The decision puts pay to any new signings for the duration, and bonusbets.com reports the latest details of the case that has landed the team in […]View the full article
  13. As Sky Sports report, FIFA have denied Chelsea’s request to postpone the transfer ban which will see us be unable to register new players for two transfer windows. The ban relates to the illegal signing of minors, which is a similar offence to what saw Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid sanctioned in the past. […]View the full article
  14. Callum Hudson-Odoi, here we go again. We are growing tired of campaigning for him to start, just as Chelsea fans have likely grown tired of reading about it. Unfortunately there will be no contentment until we get what all we want – regular opportunities for the youngster. Hudson-Odoi proved once again against Dynamo Kiev in […]View the full article
  15. Olivier Giroud is a man who gets credit from few, yet footballers of his elegant breed have been the recipients of much adulation over the years. Six-foot-four and shoulders like Dwight Howard, you could be forgiven for mistaking Giroud for a flat-track bully. Yet, though he possesses much of the traits you would associate with […]View the full article
  16. Chelsea fans are already very split on Maurizio Sarri. That much has been clear almost from the day he arrived. The divisions in the fanbase, mainly between the online fans who tend pro-Sarri, and the match-going punters who, by and large, have never taken to him, have reached really poisonous levels at times this season. […]View the full article
  17. Manchester City were yesterday linked with a move for Ben Chilwell of Leicester. Reports in the Telegraph claimed that the Sky Blues will have to pay more than the £75m Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk last year – currently the record transfer for a defender. That would be a huge amount of money, but […]View the full article
  18. Eden Hazard has set an ambitious target for himself and his Chelsea teammates in the business end of the Premier League season. Chelsea have had several players who have underperformed this season. Maurizio Sarri has continued to pick them on merit, but little else. Hazard is not one who could be accused of such. He […]View the full article
  19. AC Milan are reportedly hoping to land Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko on the cheap – but Marina Granovskaia is having none of it. Who would have thought that we’d sit here in the business end of the season, reporting on AC Milan’s desperation to sign Bakayoko? If you watched him at all in a Chelsea […]View the full article
  20. Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has backed Maurizio Sarri to succeed at Stamford Bridge, despite a difficult start to life in the Premier League. Chelsea are in the driving seat to finish in the top four following back-to-back victories over Tottenham and Fulham. If we are to win our game in hand, we will leapfrog […]View the full article
  21. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has revealed that Kepa Arrizabalaga apologised to the Chelsea squad following the Carabao Cup final loss to Manchester City. Arrizabalaga received widespread criticism from fans, pundits and former pros after refusing to be substituted in the Carabao Cup final. Maurizio Sarri saw it as a challenge to his authority and benched Kepa for […]View the full article
  22. Callum Hudson-Odoi was further starved of game-time in the Premier League today – and things are beginning to look bleak for the youngster. Hudson-Odoi was pursued by Bayern Munich in the January transfer window, with the widely held belief being that thudsonhe Englishman was keen on making the move to the Allianz Arena. A Chelsea […]View the full article
  23. Chelsea fans showed their support for Kepa Arrizabalaga this afternoon – while having a cheeky dig at former Blue Thibaut Courtois. All eyes were on the Spanish goalkeeper heading into today’s game at Craven Cottage. He was dropped for our midweek win over Tottenham following the incident at Wembley, but Maurizio Sarri brought him back […]View the full article
  24. Eden Hazard further secured his Chelsea legend status by reaching a considerable milestone at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon. Hazard is arguably the most talented player we’ve ever had pull on the shirt. His influence in two Premier League title triumphs is near immeasurable, putting him in the same bracket as the likes of John […]View the full article
  25. Chelsea fans appeared to have changed their tune on Jorginho after the midfielder’s brilliant performance against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Jorginho has become a scapegoat for Chelsea supporters in recent weeks. While fans attempted to decipher exactly what ‘Sarri-ball’ is, the Italy international’s contributions from the heart of the midfield came under scrutiny like never […]View the full article
