This has been a painful season at times for Chelsea fans. Progress has been limited, and at times it has felt like the team is going backwards despite the entire squad being refreshed. But football always leaves you something to cling on to, and in Chelsea's case there are a couple of storylines which have […]View the full article

Not all footballers will make good managers, far from it. And in fact, not all those who have played the game even make good pundits. We have actually witnessed some former players become horrendous managers and pundits. Playing the game at any level does not automatically mean you have a good football knowledge. Some footballers […]View the full article

Chelsea’s biggest issue they have at the club right now is not Mauricio Pochettino or any other individual, it is an issue that has been here since 2017 and two ownerships have failed to address it, so far. I’m sure you all know the exact issue I am talking about, and that is Chelsea not […]View the full article

Chelsea face Man City at Wembley on Saturday evening in The FA Cup semi final. Kick off is at 5.15pm local time. It’s a huge game now, for both clubs. City are still pushing to win the league again, but after being knocked out of the Champions League this week, they will be more hungry […]View the full article

We've reached the business end of the season, and games are just getting bigger and bigger. Leagues are being decided, and cup competitions are reaching their final stages. This weekend looks set to be special, and whether you're a professional paper writer in Canada or a submarine captain in Malaysia, you're going to want to […]View the full article

Yesterday I wrote an article questioning whether Enzo Fernandez needs to sit out a game or two coming up. This at the time wasn’t even anything to do with any injuries, it was more about the fact that Moises Caicedo and Conor Gallagher played so well together in the double pivot on Monday night and […]View the full article

The most frustrating thing about the penalty incident against Everton last night was that it was the third time we have seen such things happen this season, and it’s not always been from the young players either. Raheem Sterling has been involved in such incidents a couple of times, trying to take the ball from […]View the full article

Blues defender Axel Disasi is the subject of the interview in tonight’s match day programme for Everton. The 5-cap French international has split fan opinion since joining the club from Monaco for around £40m last summer. Personally I think it’s pretty simple, he’s not really a ball-playing possession defender, but mostly he is very good […]View the full article

I’ve written articles recently speaking about our naive recruitment and the fact that we have ignored proven quality and experience in our squad build, something that SO many other fans, pundits, pros, former players, and former Chels have also highlighted a lot. This has drawn so much attention that a #ChangeTheModel movement was started by […]View the full article

The opinion of the public has been focused on Sterling since his moving to Chelsea, by which he is required to live up to expectations due to his experience in the league. Fans and experts justly observed notable successes and key movements of his career. During his stay at Chelsea, his journey was strongly considered. […]View the full article

Chelsea's current issues for me are pretty obvious, and the more I look around, hear, and read, most Chelsea fans think the same thing. For me, Mauricio Pochettino isn't tactically good enough as a manager and needs to be replaced in the summer. But the problems are bigger and wider than that, with the main […]View the full article

Has Europe once again just become a distance memory for us Chelsea fans and a pipe dream for next season? Or are you keeping the faith and hope alive for now? Time to have a look at a couple of the stories of the day. Well, I say stories, more like opinions/quotes from pundits. I […]View the full article

It was unfortunately peak Mauricio Pochettino Chelsea on Sunday night as we once again TWICE threw away a lead to draw with bottom of the table Sheffield United, a team who have been hammered for fun by most other teams this season. A moment of individual brilliance from Noni Madueke had us all believing that […]View the full article

With a win that will be remembered forever, Chelsea snatched 3 points from nowhere against Manchester United on Thursday night and gave a jolt of life back to a season that was about to expire. Without our league battle, all we have to play for is a menacing FA Cup semi final against Manchester City. […]View the full article

I pride myself to be as balanced as I can be on this website when it comes to making judgements about my beloved football club. Obviously in the moment at times, emotions can always get the better of us all, and I am always a passionate fan first before anything else. So in the heat […]View the full article

Chelsea are into the final stretch of the season now. There's plenty of time for players to rise and fall and to turn a good season into a great one (or the other way around), but with awards being voted for soon at both league and club level, it's already time to start thinking about […]View the full article

I had a bit more optimism lately, but just as has happened all season long for me, that was duly ripped away by Chelsea’s abysmal performance against Burnley on Saturday afternoon. So here we are again, expectations at the very bottom, ready to go! At least for me right now, the only way is up! […]View the full article

Cole Palmer once again stood up tall for Chelsea on Saturday afternoon and once again, without him on the pitch, things have been a lot worse for Chelsea. I truly believe that if we didn’t have Palmer in this team this season then we would be in a worse league position. Imagine taking his goals […]View the full article

Should Chelsea be coming out and making a statement on them and explaining what they are going to be doing to try and get on top all these ridiculous amount of injuries of late? I believe they should be. We see many reports around suggesting that they are looking to make more hires in the […]View the full article

Time will tell whether Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to shield Mykhailo Mudryk from the spotlight will be the correct one, if that is of course what he is doing. But whatever is happening with Mudryk lately, it’s positive. We know that one of the big positives about Pochettino is his man-management, so maybe he has been […]View the full article
