Chelsea face current league leaders Manchester City this Sunday in the 4pm kick off. City will be on a high after smashing Real Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League this week to reach the final vs Inter Milan. We don’t need to say much about our opponents, they are in fantastic form and are steaming […]View the full article

There has been some positive news on Ivan Toney’s ban reported this week as the striker appears in court for the first time to respond to betting charges. Obviously it’s important to state that nobody yet knows what ban Toney will get, and these are just rumours as of now. But John Cross of The […]View the full article

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be announced as our new manager this week as he arrives in London to put pen to paper. So it’s finally time to really start looking in to what sort of setup and starting Xl he will be leaning on the most as we look forward to the start of […]View the full article

Mauricio Pochettino sounds like he’s got a bit of old school in his managing and training methods, and I like that. Danny Rose has described him as a ‘disciplinarian’, and Rickie Lambert has spoken about how tough his training sessions are. The above sentence will bring anxiety to some of our current crop of players […]View the full article

The Blues welcome Nottingham Forest to Stamford Bridge this Saturday in the 3pm kick off. We don’t even have to call this one a relegation battle anymore, because after our 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in their own backyard on Saturday, we are now mathematically safe, as daft as it feels to write that! Our opponents […]View the full article

Chelsea have been named as one of only two clubs who can afford, or who will go for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer. Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia was interviewed this week and the figures he named to prize the striker away from Napoli this summer are just pure madness. He claims that […]View the full article

“Mauricio Pochettino knows ball,” I said to myself yesterday when reading the latest transfer news report from Sami Mokbel of The Daily Mail. Mokbel wasn’t only reporting what we have all been saying on here for many weeks now as his opinion, he was reporting it as what our pending new manager Pochettino actually wants […]View the full article

Conor Gallagher probably had one of his best games in a Chelsea shirt at the weekend and was pretty pinnacle in helping us get our first win for eight weeks and score three goals in one game! Now I try and stay away from reactionary takes and recency bias on this site, as much as […]View the full article

We all know we are in a hideous place right now, and we have once again all been debating as to why this is - a huge number of reasons. But what the club must do now is concentrate on moving us forwards and to do that, we first and foremost need a big squad […]View the full article

Although this list is going to be massively unrealistic simply because it is too big, wages are too high, and a lack of suitors, I have complied a hypothetical list of current Chelsea players that need to be sold, in my opinion. It’s so important more than ever right now that we voice our opinions […]View the full article

It really says something when in this current turmoil we are in, that so many pundits and former players are predicting a brighter future for Chelsea. And I might not agree with everything Frank Lampard has been saying lately or doing on the pitch, but he's right with this, Chelsea WILL be back! https://twitter.com/evilbluebird/status/1653394707446218753?s=20 We […]View the full article

Chelsea have been linked with an array of international stars as they bid to rebuild following a chastening season. As Frank Lampard’s struggles as interim manager continue, the appointment of a permanent replacement looks to be ever more imminent, with Mauricio Pochettino now no bigger than 1/16 to take over at Stamford Bridge according to […]View the full article

Chelsea are really going through it right now and there are so many issues from top to bottom. But one thing we need to make sure we get right and correct some issues, is the summer transfer activity. We need to make sure we make it right this summer. First and foremost we need to […]View the full article

As you would have seen from Matt Law’s report on The Telegraph yesterday, Chelsea apparently want to speak to Romelu Lukaku about coming back to the club. Personally, I just cannot see it happening, and I don't think it should be allowed to either. Admittedly though I did think I’d be more angry at the fact […]View the full article

Chelsea finds themselves in a dangerous position now; they’re out of Europe, aimless, and have a failed manager back in as interim. That may sound harsh on Frank, he comes across as a likable individual, and there’s no disputing his legendary status at Stamford Bridge, but as a manager, there is a lot left to […]View the full article

And first and foremost, that means with our team selections.... Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening as Premier League action continues for us. Kick off is at 7.45pm UK time and you can watch it live on BT Sport 3. Somehow, Chelsea have been given a 57% win probability, with Brentford only […]View the full article

Kalidou Koulibaly only arrived at Chelsea from Napoli in the summer, and there is already a big question mark hovering over his head. His performances have been very up and down. I do think that recently he has started to look a bit better and a bit more settled, but he has far from been […]View the full article
