João Pedro withdrawn from Brazil squad due to injury
Following his shocking snub for the World Cup, João Pedro was called up to Brazil for the season’s first international break coming up next week. Unfortunately, he’s going to have to wait a bit longer to pull on the famous shirt of the Seleção. Doubly unfortunately, it appears that he’s going to be out for […]
Official: Clearlake acquire ‘full control’ of Chelsea
After four years of a complicated and increasingly awkward co-ownership, the “Boehly-Clearlake Consortium” (which would be renamed BlueCo to make things easier) are now comprised of “just” Clearlake Capital (and also Hansjörg Wyss with his small stake). As announced today officially by the club, Clearlake have bought out Todd Boehly and Mark Walter to acquire […]
Chelsea drawn against Liverpool in fourth round of League Cup
The first of hopefully very many Xabi Alonso Derbies is going to take place the week of October 26, with Chelsea drawn against Liverpool, away, in the fourth round of this year’s League Cup. Obviously, Alonso’s a Liverpool legend and though this won’t be the first time he’s back at Anfield with another team, it […]

The Daily Hilario: Glacier National Park
I’ve spent the last couple days in Glacier National Park, trying to see the sights and do some hiking. The weather has not been cooperating unfortunately: it rained all day today and most of yesterday and the clouds have robbed us of some amazing vistas. We even had snow at the upper elevations, which meant […]
Xabi Alonso not happy with Chelsea’s ‘dynamic in terms of conceding’ goals
Another two goals were conceded over the weekend, bringing Chelsea’s season total to nine, fourth most in the league behind only Ipswich Town, Crystal Palace, and bottom of the table Coventry City. Thankfully, we do have the second highest scoring attack in the league, so we do have seven points to show for our efforts […]

Chelsea 2-2 Hull City, Player Ratings: When scoring goals is not enough
1. JOÃO PEDRO (6.8) João Pedro had a goal and an assist. Morgan Rogers had a goal. Cole Palmer had an assist. Our delightful front three combined for all of our scoring, and in an ideal world, two such goals would be enough to get all three points — especially against a team who had […]
Manchester United WFC 0-5 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
Sonia Bompastor’s starting lineup of choice immediately raised some eyebrows. Having only Aggie Beever-Jones as a no.9 to rely, the Chelsea Women head coach chose Lauren James to slot in AGB’s usual spot instead. Even with this tactical approach the Blues were the better team against hosts, Manchester United, which is already custom. We still […]
Manchester United WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s an early trip to Manchester that Chelsea Women will take today, in a match that can pretty much tell us the way the rest of our Women’s Super League campaign will go. The 1-1 draw to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge was unacceptable given our standards, and we need a strong answer against the […]

Manchester United WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
A far from ideal start to the Women’s Super League puts Chelsea on a not so ideal position, having to look for a bounce back immediately after their debut in the competition. They will have to do so against Manchester United, an old acquaintance that often helps us out in getting good results but that […]
Chelsea 2-2 Hull City, Premier League: Post-match reaction
Hull City had a strong start to their Premier League return after a nine-year absence, debuting with a 2-0 win over Manchester United. They wanted to keep up their unbeaten slate in the competition at Stamford Bridge and quickly showed how they got here with incredibly organised play. Under Xabi Alonso we are increasingly getting […]
Chelsea vs. Hull City, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Chelsea welcome newly promoted Hull City to the Bridge today, though Hull have not been playing like newcomers, earning seven points from their first three games, keeping three clean sheets along the way. Can they resist our free-scoring attack? Let’s hope not! Xabi Alonso has made a couple changes to the usual early mix, with […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Hull City: Plot twist, but from the start
Morgan Rogers called Xabi Alonso’s halftime quadruple change on Wednesday the “plot twist”. As enjoyable as that was, if we just tell a good story from the start, we won’t need such a dramatic shift halfway through, right? That’s certainly what the voters are hoping for, selecting the usual suspects in attack, midfield, and defense […]
The Daily Hilario: Saturday
Assessing Most Doubtful but sure
Chelsea vs. Hull City, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
The highest scoring team in the first three weeks take on the team with the fewest goals conceded thus far as Chelsea welcome Hull City to the Bridge for a Saturday afternoon Premier League encounter. Chelsea lead the league (jointly with Brighton) on eight goals scored. Hull City have yet to concede; an impressive achievement […]
How should Chelsea line up against resilient Hull City?
I’m not sure anyone would’ve had money on Hull City being the last team to concede a goal in this year’s Premier League, but here we are at the start of week four with the newly promoted side the only team to have kept three clean sheets. So now it’s up to us to end […]
Official: Pedro Neto signs new Chelsea contract
Chelsea winger wing-back Pedro Neto has put pen to paper on a new contract today, extending his commitment to the Blues from 2031 to 2032. Of course, it’s not really the length of the contract that matters in these BlueCo deals (they’re all massive), it’s the presumptive payrise along with the symbolic show of commitment […]
João Pedro named Premier League Player of the Month for August
For the first time in almost exactly two years, a Chelsea player has been named the Premier League’s Player of the Month, with João Pedro collecting his award for August today. JP beat out five others for the honor, including teammate Cole Palmer, who was incidentally that last Blue to win it, back in September […]

Unbeaten New deal Lol
Chelsea 6-3 Leeds United, Player Ratings: Plot twist
1. MORGAN ROGERS (8.8, sub) Rogers himself put it best, captioning a post on Instagram, that shows him entering the pitch at half time, with “plot twist”. Chelsea were subpar in the first 45, but after Xabi Alonso’s quadruple change, we were exceptional — certainly in attack. The defense (and midfield) remain a work in […]
Xabi Alonso concerned with first-half performance despite six-goal second half
It was a game of two halves, if there ever was one, last night’s win in the third round of the League Cup, with an entirely listless Chelsea down 1-0 at the half, 2-0 immediately after the half, then storming back to take the lead, 3-2, and ultimately winning 6-3. But it wasn’t just cliche […]

Chelsea 6-3 Leeds United, League Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings
A much-changed Chelsea side made a decent enough start to the game, but after about 10 minutes, that early impetus faded and the visitors started controlling proceedings. They didn’t exactly pose a great threat, but they did grab the lead thanks to a series of corners that we proved incapable of dealing with properly. Chelsea […]
