The Premier League title race this season is heating up nicely, with three teams in genuine contention to finish top of the pile. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are currently fighting it out in a three way battle to claim the 2023/24 league crown in what could be a season to remember. The favourites for the […]View the full article

Last week I was handing flowers to Moises Caicedo in a praise article for how I believe he is starting to really settle and prove his worth in this team in a sort of unsung role. This week I am moving one step on from the praise and pondering the making of him even more. […]View the full article

To say that Chelsea have made some poor judgement in some of their recent transfer windows might be one of the biggest understatements to make, as the Blues have had their fair share of players that simply haven’t lived up to the expectations set for them when they first signed along the dotted line at […]View the full article

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo is the kind of player who will play well, yet you will often not notice it until you specifically hone in on him individually, and you will definitely not hear about it from pundits. I don’t think he’s been incredible since he arrived from Brighton in the summer, and he certainly […]View the full article

I think sometimes with different circumstances it’s hard to form opinions on some situations, but I do think the booing of Raheem Sterling lately is a bit too much and uncalled for. I don’t agree with it, generally. Of course, there are some extreme circumstances where perhaps it’s necessary to boo a player, or manager. […]View the full article

One issue that Sunday's FA Cup game highlighted for me was the need to sign a new number one goalkeeper in the summer. Both Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic are decent competition options, but none of them convince me that at the moment, they are good enough to be our main number one going forward […]View the full article

If yesterday’s game taught me one thing and one thing only, it is the importance of picking a designated penalty taker list of names. I actually don’t understand why Mauricio Pochettino, as the head coach of the team, does not do this. Chelsea beat Leicester City 4-2 yesterday to reach the semi finals of the […]View the full article

Malo Gusto is only 20-years-old and is already becoming one of the most important players in this Chelsea team. He has it all and above all, his attitude and mentality is incredible and is THE key. The signing of Gusto for me simply MUST prove to be the blueprint for future Chelsea recruitment. I don’t […]View the full article

Mark Twain is attributed to having said: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." It is an adage that often rings true in modern football as players are - rightly or wrongly - judged by the numbers they return during a season. However, these stats can often be used selectively to […]View the full article

It’s certainly not all doom and gloom at Chelsea right now and despite the fact that we are sat in 11th place in the Premier League in mid-March. I still have no doubts that our owners are full of ambition in and passion for this club. I see and hear all the negativity about the […]View the full article

I’m not even the biggest fan of Mykhailo Mudryk in this fanbase, but if he doesn’t start the game on Sunday then for me that’s an instant sackable offense. Extreme? Maybe. But it’s the stark reality. I think Mudryk has shown a lot of promise and can certainly do some great things. He is a […]View the full article

For Chelsea fans, the 2023/24 Champions League has made for difficult viewing. Of course, the matches have been good – the matchup between Union Berlin and Real Madrid was one of the most entertaining 90 minutes of football in recent memory – but Chelsea’s absence has undoubtedly put a damper on things. That absence was […]View the full article

We're into the final third of the season, and the table is really taking shape. A few things are yet to be decided - and some won't be until the very end of the season - but it seems very likely that the top 7 in the Premier League will get some form of European […]View the full article

Chelsea have no game this weekend, allowing fans to take a brief break from the pain and tune in to some awesome action elsewhere - from England -Ireland in the rugby to Liverpool - Man City in the Premier League. The break from Blues agony doesn't last long though. They're back in action on Monday […]View the full article

We wrote that Sunday's game would be a critical one for the future of Mauricio Pochettino, and so it's proving. It wasn't just the defeat, it was the manner of the defeat. And it wasn't just the manner of the defeat either, it was all compounded by the manager's comments since. His job, if it wasn't on […]View the full article

Getting to a cup final really helped the mood at Chelsea. Things would be a lot bleaker if the league was out only outlet. Our indifferent form sees us wedged into 11th place, seemingly unable to get higher than 10th or lower than 12th. Things don't get any easier now either. March looks like a make or […]View the full article

Once again last night, after Chelsea beat Leeds United, Mauricio Pochettino had a chance to go out on the pitch and clap the fans. Something that goes a long way in creating a connection with the fanbase. But just like he has done all season so far, he didn't even think about doing it. And […]View the full article

The season is rolling on at some speed. It feels like Mauricio Pochettino has only just got his feet under the table, but in fact Chelsea have played 25 of their 38 league games this season. There's a third of the season left, but what can we expect from it? At our current inconsistent clip […]View the full article

You've probably noticed that Chelsea has been underperforming in EA FC 24. As a loyal Blues fan, it's frustrating to see the squad fall short of its potential in the game. But have no fear - with the right tactics and transfers, you can transform Chelsea into an unstoppable force. In this guide, we'll explore […]View the full article

Gary Neville is not the most likeable character and he has often got nothing but negativity to push against Chelsea. It’s obvious he doesn’t like the owners and the way they have ran the club so far. Like everyone, he is entitled to an opinion, even though most people think his opinions are often wild […]View the full article
