There's an old rule in gambling - you won't make much money betting on the favourite. You'll pick up small wins, and when the favourite loses (which happens more than you think), you'll lose all your winnings and then some. Anyone who has been betting on Chelsea this season might well be broke by this […]View the full article

PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS Saturday 4th March 2023 Premier League Stamford Bridge 3pm UK

It’s fair to say that Graham Potter’s tenure in charge of Chelsea hasn’t hit the heights originally expected. We’ve been going through somewhat of a merry-go-round on managers at Stamford Bridge in recent years, and plenty of supporters would be keen to see Potter break that trend and stick around with the club for the […]View the full article

Every game is big right now with Graham Potter under a superb amount of pressure from the fans and the media, if perhaps not quite as much from the club right now at least. But the Spurs game still has a real feeling of it being a must-win. I want to see us perform well, […]View the full article

I really believe in the importance of experience and leadership, and that is why I think we should be a little bit flexible in our recruitment going forward. But also, experience and leadership does not always mean a player in their early 30s. I think balance is very important, as always. Just look at Thiago […]View the full article

Graham Potter has reportedly been told to get his tin hat out ready for the storms, but Chelsea fans might well need to find a tin hat as well, to get through the turbulent times we are facing! I must admit I had to laugh when I saw Matt Law’s second Telegraph article of the […]View the full article

Chelsea's cursed season continues to roll on - and despite the all time low in terms of results (one win in 9 games), you can't help but feel some optimism around. Compared to 6 weeks ago, when we were both losing every week and also had a flimsy squad ravaged by injury, things look much […]View the full article

PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS Sunday 26th February 2023 Premier League Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 1:30 pm UK

Graham Potter's reign as Chelsea manager feels like it's hanging by a threat. In fact, it feels like that thread should have been cut after yesterday's loss to Southampton. The coach is still clinging on however, and now that the dust has settled on his latest embarrassing loss, it seems he's going to get another […]View the full article

Chelsea could still face Financial Fair Play issues this summer if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, and there has been some reports floating around suggesting the club are planning a clear-out which could involve selling some homegrown players to boost their FFP position. Selling homegrown players from Chelsea’s academy works wonders for […]View the full article

Chelsea face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League this evening in leg one. It presents Chelsea with a rather pressure-free chance if you like, to put in a good performance and hopefully come away with a good result to bring back to Stamford Bridge. I say pressure-free, but with our social […]View the full article

January is over, the transfer window is closed, and Chelsea will now have to start working with what they have (apart from Andrey Santos, who can still be registered if he gets a work permit). The excuses about new players bedding in will only grow less relevant, and the pressure on the team to start […]View the full article

The Chelsea fanbase appears to be very split right now. Many of them are calling for the manager to be sacked, whilst many are asking for patience. The bottom line is, Chelsea have only won two league games in thirteen, and that really isn't good enough. But on the other end of that, you simply […]View the full article

I think most Chelsea fans have accepted that we will not be finishing in the top four now this season. But there is still a slight belief there from some. For Chelsea to do so though, they simply have to beat West Ham on Saturday, because these are the games they simply have to win. […]View the full article

Chelsea have lacked goals and goal scorers recently, that has been clear to see. And some even debate that we lack a true number nine, especially with the Pierre Emerick Aubameyang situation. And to be honest, it is a a bit of a concern. Fabrizio Romano addressed it perfectly this morning really. “I think it’s […]View the full article

RB Leipzig forward Christopher Nkunku is expected to be joining Chelsea in the summer. Despite not having any official confirmation by either club yet, every top source has stated that he will be a Chelsea player come the summer. It's the worst kept secret in football, perhaps? https://twitter.com/talkchelsea/status/1595273664685015040 We have seen some quotes from the […]View the full article

It might not even be through any fault of the players themselves (it definetely wasn't the fault of Ziyech), but the destructive situations of Hakim Ziyech and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang last week and the last few days is bound to have a negative effect on the team and in the camp. We had the Hakim […]View the full article

Obviously before we get into this one, it will all be dependent if his paperwork is put through in time as to whether Enzo Fernandez makes his Chelsea debut tomorrow evening against Fulham. But I don't personally foresee any problems with that. We’ve had a short break, and it’s been ideal really as the end […]View the full article

I don't know, either that or he will be presented on the pitch at half time.

Can't wait to see him tomorrow night at the Bridge!
