Welcome home Super Frank!
Having picked up just two points from our last three games, it’s probably fair to stay that Liam Rosenior is having his first little wobble as Chelsea head coach. Not exactly great timing, at the start of a season-defining stretch of games, both domestically and in Europe! That said, the issues that have come to […]

Hmm Longest First

Chelsea have fallen out of the top-five after picking up just two points from our last three games, and now we face another big challenge with Wednesday night’s game. This one, in fact, could have direct repercussions on our top-five fates, with Villa also in bad form, but still holding a six-point advantage on us, […]

1. REECE JAMES (7.2) The collective performance may not have been too great, and let’s not even mention the set piece defending, but there was some good individual performances, Reece James chief among them. This isn’t the first time the Captain has stepped up big on big stage, against the likes of Arsenal, and it […]

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out where we are losing points at the moment. Two more goals conceded on set plays. Another red card. Arsenal 2, Chelsea 1. Our own attack stifled by the league’s best defense, who can afford to focus on that defense because they know they can get away […]

A slightly cautious start devolved into a surprisingly open game rather quickly, though that had as much to do with Chelsea’s inability to string passes together than anything special that Arsenal might have been doing. That said, a goal was never likely to come from any source other than a corner, and that’s precisely how […]

Chelsea will be looking to put a stop to our ten-match winless run against Arsenal tonight, and at the same, put a big dent in their title challenge … and give a big boost to our own hopes of finishing top-five. It’s going to be a tall task, but Liam Rosenior has chosen the exact […]

The big question for tonight’s starting lineup against Arsenal is going to be who plays next to Trevoh Chalobah in central defense. Wesley Fofana is suspended and neither Benoît Badiashile (13%) or Tosin Adarabioyo (9%) have done much to engender much trust. For the WAGNH Community, the answer to that question, and pretty emphatically, I […]

Chelsea and Arsenal meet for the fourth time this season, with the Blues still looking for our first win over the Premier League leaders. In fact, we’re still looking for our first win against the Gunners in the last nearly five years: ten games in all competitions, seven defeats, zero wins since Romelu Lukaku (!) […]

A daunting task awaits Chelsea this weekend as we travel the relatively short distance to take on familiar foes Arsenal. The Gunners are leading the league at the moment, though Manchester City have closed the gap to just five points (and they play each other very soon). Right now, it’s up to us to take […]

There was a power vacuum at the top of the Chelsea FC Women organization following the departure of long-time general manager Paul Green earlier this month, and though we all expected Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart to step into that void, the club have instead appointed Phil Radley as the new sporting director. Radley had […]

The final Champions League knockout bracket is set, and Chelsea’s path to a potential trophy will have to go through Paris once again. In a rematch of this summer’s Club World Cup final, and of many Champions League campaigns of yore, we will face PSG in the Round of 16 of this season’s Champions League. […]

Chelsea and West Ham United were both fined by The Football Association for the fracas that occured at the end of our match a few weeks ago, which, as we might recall, included Adama Traoré tossing Marc Cucurella aside like a bale of hay, and then Jean-Clair Todibo trying to choke out João Pedro. (Todibo […]

As expected, both Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain took care of their respective Round of 32 matchups, which means that one of those two will be facing us next, in the Round of 16. (And the team who don’t play against us will in turn face Barcelona instead.) Newcastle were never really threatened as they […]

Chelsea were back on the training ground today (Tuesday) to begin preparations for the big showdown against league-leaders Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend. Can we do better against them (and the refs) than Spurs? Let’s hope so! It’s now ten (10!) straight without a win against the Gunners in all competitions, which would make […]

There may be no sporting event I love more than the Winter Olympics. Yes, probably even more than the World Cup. The Summer Olympics are great, too, but I absolutely adore the Winter games: from the basics like (alpine and nordic) skiing and (NHL returns!) hockey (even as Slovakia ran out of luck and talent […]

Chelsea advanced to the final eight of the Women’s FA Cup thanks to a dramatic, extra-time victory over Manchester United in the Round of 16 this weekend, and our reward for that will be a home game against Tottenham Hotspur in the quarterfinals. Spurs beat London City Lionesses last night on penalties to advance and […]

1. JOÃO PEDRO The lowest rated match overall under Liam Rosenior, and there wasn’t much to be happy about from it. Two more points dropped and gifted to the opposition, leaving us with just two points from six in our last two home games against opposition in and around the relegation zone. Not great! The […]
