Thankfully, the international break is now over and Premier League football is back! We are finishing out November with a trip to Newcastle on Saturday afternoon. It’s our last game until we go into a very busy festive period throughout December, so a win is even more important. I’m excited for Chelsea to be back […]View the full article

Former Chelsea player Glen Johnson is keeping involved in football since his retirement by giving regular interviews and speaking about Premier League sides, especially Chelsea. This week he has been speaking about Cole Palmer at Chelsea, and Johnson has been super impressed, like all of us have been. "Cole Palmer has been doing great,” Johnson […]View the full article

Chelsea have begun their first Premier League campaign under Mauricio Pochettino in rather poor form overall. After 11 games played, they were already three points off the European positions and nine points adrift from the top four places. Based on what the team have shown so far, they may appear to be huge outsiders to qualify […]View the full article

It’s high time that the big bosses in football take a long hard look at the scheduling of international breaks during a domestic season, because they are doing much more harm than good. The Premier League, sponsors, and TV bosses want to see exciting, fast, and entertaining games week in week out, of course they […]View the full article

Chelsea have been linked with new strikers a lot over the last couple of months, ahead of a possible January move to sign a new one. We are hearing names such as Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Ivan Toney of Brentford, amongst others, and it looks like Chelsea definitely have their sights set on bringing […]View the full article

The first thing I want to say here is that thankfully (not thankfully), I’ll eat my hat if we ever actually see the above scenario in the title of this article. A FULLY fit Chelsea squad? It’ll never happen! Even still, it is something that we can start to look at a little more realistically […]View the full article

Nobody likes an international break, but in the case of Chelsea's season so far, this feels like an acceptable one. Blues fans will have been so thoroughly exhausted by a quite extraordinary run of games that they need a break almost as much as the players. We wrote before this run that we're in the […]View the full article

Just like the media will beat a person when they are down, they will also give them the world when they are up. The media will media. This week, during another boring international break through a domestic football season, all I am seeing is massive praise for Cole Palmer, which of course is great. But […]View the full article

As a club from the heart of London, Chelsea's youth team is representative of the incredible diversity of the nation's capital. England, Ireland, Canada, Ghana, Sweden and Portugal are all represented directly in the club's under 18s. And if you look back at the parents and grandparents of those players, you'll find a dozen more […]View the full article

We all said that there was going to be ups and downs this season, especially early doors. And the Manchester City game on Sunday, as well as the Tottenham win on Monday, has been a mighty fine example of that. The City game was so up and down, but Chelsea didn’t fold over and they […]View the full article

Dissecting a bit more from Monday’s thrashing of Tottenham again now. I’ll reiterate a again first though that it was the hugely impressive 4-1 result that counts here and essentially is what will always matter the most. But as I have already highlighted this week on my Substack site on a couple of occasions, there […]View the full article

I want to begin this one by saying that I am not writing Nicolas Jackson off, far from it. I do have my doubts about him, but I can also acknowledge that he is still young and has chances to develop as time goes by. But my concerns were there, and yes, they are still […]View the full article

You always get players who will completely split opinions like marmite does, and Raheem Sterling is one of them. The Chelsea winger still has some pretty big fans and believers in his ability, largely from the media and pundits. Many Chelsea fans also still think he’s top class. But on the other side, I personally […]View the full article

The away games especially Luton you will have no chance. I've been to nearly every game so far this season and can't get one for that due to the small ticket allocation.

The winners of the Carabao Cup will earn a place in the Europa Conference League. The winners of the FA Cup will earn a place in the Europa League.

Off the back of listening to the John Obi Mikel Podcast this week, which is excellent by the way and highly recommended, it has left me feeling truly gutted that John Terry may never become a football manager. Terry admitted that he has not done any coaching for well over a year, and as we […]View the full article

‘Things can only get better’ is probably one of the most untrue quotes ever! Of course, Chelsea have proved to us in the last few seasons that things, no matter how bad they are, can actually get worse! After losing to Brentford at home on Saturday, in terms of the schedule of fixtures coming up, […]View the full article

I wanted to hone in on some comments from Alan Shearer this week because whilst I do agree, I also wanted to remind people of some other facts. I think there has been a bit of an unfair ‘pile on’ as such on Jackson this week. The thing that happened with the fan criticising him […]View the full article

Chelsea FC fans are facing a dilemma. The Blues have a player that appears to be contributing very little to the team. If it’s not an injury, it’s a benching and Armando Broja is quickly running out of good vibes to survive on. With a new manager recently installed for the new Premier League season […]View the full article
