Unlike most of his Chelsea compadres, Nicolas Jackson got to experience life on a winning team this season as Bayern Munich completed their latest league-and-cup double. He may not have featured as much as he might have wished, but he still managed to get into double digits for goals (11) for the fourth successive season, […]
Ibrahima Konaté looked all set to sign a contract extension at Liverpool just a few weeks ago, but apparently something has gone drastically wrong behind the scenes, and the 27-year-old now looks set to leave the Reds when his contract expires at the end of June. Oopsies! It’s not clear what happened to cause such […]
Transfer POTS Bid
Estêvão was back in London last week as Chelsea beat Spurs in our final home match of the season, taking part in the post-match lap of appreciation as well, but he’s now returned to Brazil once again to continue his rehab at Palmeiras for the hamstring injury that ruled him out from our last several […]
The lottery ticket known as Kendry Páez doesn’t look to be turning into a winner anytime soon for Chelsea, with the youngster struggling to make the necessary step up after making his long prearranged transfer official last summer. He couldn’t quite cut it at RC Strasbourg — 21 appearances but just 700 minutes under Liam […]
Agreement Hmm From where?
We’re still in the early stages of the Enzo Fernández saga, and though the inevitable outcome might be that Enzo leaves by the end of the summer, right now we’re setting up our defenses in a strong position. According to The BBC, Chelsea’s asking price for a transfer will be £120m, which is slightly more […]
Robert Sánchez has been Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper for the past three years. Though he has improved, he’s not exactly managed to make a convincing case that he’s truly worthy of those credentials. But it’s not like his backups have done otherwise. Đorđe Petrović believed he did when he won the job halfway through the season […]
Award nominations have been in short supply around Chelsea this season, but thankfully the Premier League have created a brand new one for this season, and Robert Sánchez has earned a nomination for it. The “Goalkeeper Performance of the Season” recognizes the “the most outstanding individual performance of the season by a goalkeeper” in a […]
Agreement Hmm But our sporting directors get a hike
We first heard of Barcelona’s interest in João Pedro some weeks ago, and at the time, it seemed pretty clear that Chelsea had no intention in letting our leading goalscorer leave, nor was JP himself interested in doing so. And according to most reports, that remains the case as things stand. UPDATE: In fact, Ben […]
Golden boot Approach Lol
1. ROBERT SÁNCHEZ (5.6) Chelsea’s three highest rated players just barely sneak into the “average” category, with Bob leading the way by a few hundredths. And he certainly did give it his all during the game, making five saves and getting beaten only by a great first-time shot form Trey Hume and a ridiculous own […]
The season’s over. Now the Season can begin. Welcome to Silly Season! The biggest story of the summer is bound to be the future of Enzo Fernández. He’s already flirted (sort of) with Real Madrid — or at least the city of Madrid — for which he was rather harshly suspended two games by the […]
Happiness was so close, yet so far Record Prolific
As it turned out, all we needed on the final day was a draw to play Europa League football next season. Brighton lost by three, Brentford drew, and that gave us the inside track for a seventh place finish — not ideal, but better than the alternative. Instead, we barely showed up. An own goal […]
Not sure what’s a stronger word than cacophony, but that’s what greeted the teams as they walked out onto the pitch at the Stadium of Light. Glorious noise, glorious sunshine, and some glorious football — well, glorious from the home side at least. It was far from glorious from the Blues, and the constant attack-v-defense […]
Welcome to the final day of the season! Chelsea need a win to ensure some sort of European football for next season. Europa League and Conference League are both on the table, depending on how others do. So, keeping an eye on Brighton and Brentford as well, but first we have to take care of […]
There wasn’t much doubt about the WAGNH Community’s preferred lineup for this final game of the season, with eight of the eleven starters garnering over 80 per cent of the votes, and only one coming in at below 60 per cent. That one exception was Jorrel Hato, who’s emerged victorious from the battle at center […]
Hmm What?! Hopefully
Chelsea come into the final weekend of the Premier League season still harboring some hopes of European football. Tuesday’s amusing win over Tottenham Hotspur, which not only raised spirits but kept Spurs still under threat of relegation, has us sitting in eighth currently, which would be good enough for another tour of obscure European towns […]
We’re done to just one, one final game in what’s been a rather disappointing season. We enter the weekend in eighth and can finish no higher than seventh. We could however drop as low as tenth. Seventh and eighth places would entail some European football next season, Europa League for the former and Conference League […]
Hmm Leading POTS
Chelsea won the South. Manchester City won the North. Then they met in the final, and Chelsea won it all. It was a fitting end to the Baby Blues’ dominant U18 Premier League campaign. We won the Southern section by a whopping thirteen points over second place Tottenham Hotspur, losing just three of the 28 […]
