Sunday will see the send off game for legend Thiago Silva at Stamford Bridge. Expect tears, emotions, smiles, celebrations, and plenty of ‘oohhhhh Thiagoooo Siiiiilvaa.’ It’s the final game of a rollercoaster season for Chelsea, and many other clubs in the Premier League. I think Manchester United and Tottenham fans are going to be pleased […]View the full article

Christopher Nkunku was a truly exciting signed when he arrived at Chelsea, and the fee we paid for him (£52m) was actually a bit of a snip in the grand scheme of things. But my excitement has been reserved after a season of injuries for the attacking midfielder. It’s been so disappointing to barely see […]View the full article

Yesterday saw a report from Matt Law of The Telegraph which has clearly come directly from Chelsea. Apparently Mauricio Pochettino is under scrutiny, and rightly so in my opinion, at the end of the season, but the sporting directors, the ones who hired him and rebuilt the squad, are not. Puzzled? Yes, so am I. The irony […]View the full article

After a pretty intense season of ups and downs, Chelsea are finally reaching the finish line, with two final games to play this week. A year ago we had the excitement of a hectic summer ahead - at this stage it was already guaranteed that there would be major sales and signings. But what does […]View the full article

Chelsea are still exploring options for their new striker in the summer, which is still the priority position they are looking at. Reports have suggested that PSG are leading this race, but it’s still a race that Chelsea are in - with many still believing that Victor Osimhen remains the priority for The Blues hierarchy.

Chelsea face Nottingham Forest on Saturday away from home in the Premier League for the early evening 5.30pm kick off. It’s a chance for Chelsea’s players, Mauricio Pochettino, and now Todd Boehly, to put their money where their mouths are and continue the momentum and more importantly, the top performances we have seen across the […]View the full article

What a difference three games make, hey? The opinion on Mauricio Pochettino has changed vastly since the Arsenal game, and I am here to discuss the factors behind that. After Chelsea got totally embarrassed by Arsenal just four games ago, I remember reading the comments on my personal Substack website (there was well over 100), […]View the full article

Looking at Chelsea’s route into Europa League football is so heavily dependent on what ifs and buts. It also looks a bit messy and still very tough. Chelsea must just focus on winning their last three games against Nottingham Forest (A), Brighton (A), and finally, Bournemouth (H) to see out the season. A couple of […]View the full article

For Chelsea, a team with a rich legacy and a trophy-laden cabinet, several matches over the past decade have left an indelible mark on their fortunes. Some of them were definitely worth a good bet. If you are interested in sports betting, you should explore the possibilities of betting with Bitcoin and other cryptos at […]View the full article

Marc Cucurella is an enigma. He’s a player that I think many have never thought to be good enough and has often been a liability. I don’t think many would have been upset if he left the club last summer, and remember, Chelsea tried to loan him out to Manchester United and that deal was […]View the full article

Mauricio Pochettino continues to alienate Chelsea fans and push that disconnect even further apart, and the worst thing is, he just doesn’t seem to understand the damage it is doing. If you want to make it as a Chelsea manager, you simply HAVE to have the majority of fans on side. Pochettino’s comments continue to […]View the full article

Put Jack Grealish up there alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek for players that I have a real soft spot for. Like Ruben, I just love watching Jack play football. He is majestic, magical, class, skillful, quality, and just glides along the pitch with ease, a lot like Ruben does. My exclusive news from earlier in the week […]View the full article

Thiago Silva is not just a quality football player, he is a presence, an influence, and a leader on and off the pitch. When he departs the club this summer, his absence will be truly felt, he will be sorely missed within the club. I’ve heard the departure was more mutual than anything else, and […]View the full article

We're coming towards the end of Mauricio Pochettino's first season at Chelsea, and it truly is a hard one to wrap your head around. There are plenty of things to be furious about, and plenty of reasons to be very fearful for the future. Yet there have been flashes of good things, and some brilliant […]View the full article

Chelsea fans certainly don’t love Gary Neville, and his often wild or frankly just inaccurate takes on our club over the years have really made many Blues fans dislike the former Manchester United and England defender. Neville as a right back was great. Neville as a manager was terrible. And more often than not, Neville […]View the full article

This has been a truly painful season as a Chelsea fan. Last season was terrible, but at least it was consistently terrible. It was a dreary drudge each week, but at least we weren't even allowed to get our hopes up. This season has been different. There have been flashes of promise regularly, enough to […]View the full article

I know some might not agree with this and feel that it might be better to hug all of our players and tell them that they’re doing the best that they can do, but for me, this squad needs tough love. At the end of the day, you are representing Chelsea Football Club, a club […]View the full article

I expected to see such articles today and for the rest of this week. We all know how the media absolutely LOVE a Chelsea meltdown and downfall. Many of them have articles written in drafts ready to post whenever something goes bad for Chelsea, and many of them are hoping and praying that Chelsea are […]View the full article

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
