Chelsea have had a leadership problem for some time now, and it seems like that leadership problem is not just on the pitch and is also now at the very top of the club as well. But anyway, I’m not speaking about the owners in this article, this is more about a lack of leadership […]View the full article

I guess as a football player when you step out on to the pitch and you instantly have a shadow following you around from kick off until the end of the game, then that is one of the biggest compliments you can receive. Cole Palmer has not got to that point. Eden Hazard and Palmer […]View the full article

The international break is over and Chelsea are back! I think we actually all need this right now after a dramatic international break. Usually they are so boring that everyone starts debating Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, or Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard (the answers are Messi and Lampard by the way, but yeah). This […]View the full article

Emmanuel Petit is getting quite the reputation as an outspoken pundit, especially when it comes to Chelsea, and his appearance on the Seaman Says podcast via Betway was no exception. Petit was happy to lay into his former club on a few different topics, chiefly their transfer policy over the summer. Chelsea have spent vast amounts of money and […]View the full article

It’s time to take a look at some poll results from earlier this week as we debate the new striker that Chelsea should be signing. On my personal Chelsea site Si Phillips Talks Chelsea this week, I ran a set of polls on the striker situations. It appears that many of you in this community […]View the full article

Earlier this week I ran a set of polls and asked for comments from my Chelsea Substack community on my own personal Chelsea page. This was off the back of all the ownership noise of a fallout between Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali/Clearlake. This is a direct message to the Chelsea board and ownership, sent […]View the full article

It’s time to hand out some more flowers to Chelsea’s talisman Cole Palmer, as if he doesn’t already have a garden full of them. I remember being sat in the pub at Stamford Bridge just over a year ago with lads like Luke Rushbrook and Rob Pratley, and of course Charlie as you guys might […]View the full article

It's been an exciting few years for betting on Chelsea, and that doesn't look like it's going to change anytime soon. We've played 5 games of the new season, yet we don't feel like we're anywhere closed to knowing if this team is going to be a big hit or a total disaster by the […]View the full article

It’s really worth honing in on words like this. It’s always good to take time and look at positives like this and really give it a focus. There’s been a lot of doom and gloom around Chelsea lately and things have had a toxic feel. Many fans still feel this and a bit of a […]View the full article

It’s been a while since I’ve been SO excited about a Chelsea attack. I’m gutted that we didn’t complete it with an elite number 9, but the rest of the attack is scary looking now. For a while I’ve been wanting to see players with that x-factor at Stamford Bridge, those Eden Hazard-like players. I’m […]View the full article

PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS Saturday 14th September 2024 Premier League Vitality Stadium 8PM UK

I remember hearing not too long ago that the Chelsea owners were keen to have some former Chelsea players more involved in the backroom setup. However, here we are down the line and with no ex-players involved in any capacity, at least in the boardroom. I’m not saying we should just be bringing in any […]View the full article

The early stages of the season hasn’t really told us much about what to expect because it’s such early doors and as I keep saying, we have to give Enzo Maresca some time to get his style of play implemented and also, some of the new players time to get their feet under the table […]View the full article

Over the past few seasons, Chelsea haven’t been at their usual selves of fighting for leagues and trophies, not managing to make even the top four in the last three seasons. Despite getting to multiple finals, losing out to Liverpool in each one caused further pain for Chelsea supporters, feeling like this never ending cycle […]View the full article

Chelsea are now being linked with both of Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen as their main two targets for their new number 9 before the end of this transfer window on Friday. It's very late to try and get such big deals done, but it seems that at the moment it is likely to be […]View the full article

As we all know, Chelsea want to go into this new season with a big squad full of quality all over the park and depth in each position. They are planning this due to the fact that we are playing in two extra competitions in the shape of The Europa Conference League and The Club […]View the full article

I’ll try to explain it all to the best of my knowledge in this. But basically, as I have been reporting on here for months now, Chelsea have simply been seeking opportunities this summer and more specifically, opportunities that will help them sell players and move big wages off their books. Does any seriously think […]View the full article

Chelsea FC is one of the most successful football clubs in England, and throughout their history, they have signed some fantastic players. Here is a closer look at some of the best players ever signed by Chelsea in the summer transfer window after a UEFA European Championships tournament. Top five players signed by Chelsea after […]View the full article

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Wolves winger Pedro Neto for a fee of £51.3m, plus £2.6m in add-ons. The Blues’ interest in the Portuguese international has been well-documented, as they beat the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United to land Neto’s signature ahead of the 2024/25 Premier League season. Neto had been […]View the full article

Some Chelsea fans are not happy right now with the treatment of some players, and this could well lead to some player becoming unhappy witnessing this too. Chelsea need to be wary of unrest and may need to be a bit smarter in the way they go about their business. Players need to be sold, […]View the full article

Sterling has had his number 7 shirt removed and Neto will now take it.

Both Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher had their weekly rant on Chelsea and Chelsea’s owners this week. Whether you agree or disagree with them, you can not doubt the fact that both of them, and the majority of the media in fact, just hate Chelsea Football Club. And you know what? That’s exactly how I […]View the full article

None of us should be getting carried away by one league defeat to Manchester City, and pre-season should never be taken seriously either. I do think things will get better. And I also think that in some games, a midfield three of Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, and Enzo Fernandez can work. But in general, I […]View the full article
