Chelsea FCW vs. Manchester United WFC, Women’s League Cup final: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
It’s only March and Chelsea Women already have a chance of collecting some silverware for the season. They’ll be up against Manchester United once again, three weeks from eliminating the Red Devils with a 2-1 win at Kingsmeadow in extra time. The opposition will be raring to take their vengeance. If we’re smart about it, […]
Liam Rosenior blames mental and physical freshness, ‘one mistake’ for Newcastle defeat
Since his arrival, Liam Rosenior has gone to great lengths to keep things positive around Chelsea, praising players individually and collectively, talking up our ambitions, expressing confidence in the club’s overall direction, and so on and so forth. At times that praise has even bordered on the unwarranted, especially when the reality of the performances […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Manchester United WFC, Women’s League Cup final: Preview, team news, how to watch
When you have standards as high as Chelsea Women’s it’s a struggle to keep them up year after year. But we are the team who meet these very expectations. This Sunday the cycle continues. As shown by our recent meeting with Manchester United the opposition won’t go down without a tough fight. But a team […]
Chelsea 0-1 Newcastle United, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
The match started in rather subdued fashion, with both teams nursing European hangovers, but that seemed to suit Chelsea as we were able to generate a few decent opportunities. Unfortunately Cole Palmer’s shooting radar continues to be miscalibrated, Wesley Fofana put a free header over the bar, then Palmer blocked an Enzo shot that may […]
Chelsea vs. Newcastle United, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to a glorious spring evening at Stamford Bridge; let’s hope the football will leave us in similarly glorious mood. Chelsea need a win and a cleanser after Wednesday; Newcastle have their focus firmly on Europe so hopefully they’ll just let us have this. Liam Rosenior has made a couple changes from the PSG debacle, […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Newcastle: Back to basics
Despite a few recent mistakes (mostly against Arsenal), Robert Sánchez never quite lost the favor of the WAGNH Community — the lowest his “approval rating”, you might call it, dropped was 61% — so it’s no surprise that Bob is back with a supermajority for today’s game after the mistakes of Filip Jörgensen doomed us […]

Chelsea vs. Newcastle United, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea have suffered plenty of defeats in recent seasons, many of them quite frustrating, painful, infuriating. But it’s hard to remember another like Wednesday night’s debacle in Paris, where a decent, possibly even good effort through 75 minutes was so spectacularly scuppered thanks to our own mistakes. We didn’t just lose, we collapsed in every […]
Official: Lauren James signs new long-term Chelsea contract
If one big contract news wasn’t good enough for this Friday, here’s another, as Lauren James has also put pen to paper on a new long-term contract today, just like her brother Reece James. Two new James contracts in one day?! Is it Christmas in spring? “We are delighted that Lauren is extending her contract. […]
How should Chelsea line up against Newcastle in a post-PSG world?
Chelsea’s late-game collapse against PSG more than likely has cost us not only this year’s Champions League, but it may yet have wider repercussions given some of the vibes evident in the team during the latter stages of that match. While Liam Rosenior has tried to chalk all that up to “passion” and the team’s […]
Pedro Neto banned for one additional match after Arsenal red card
Pedro Neto’s behavior after receiving his second yellow in the match against Arsenal a couple weeks ago has been deemed egregious enough for our winger to be hit with an additional one-match ban, which he will serve this weekend, thus ruling him out from our game tomorrow against Newcastle United. “Pedro Neto has been given […]
Official: Reece James signs new long-term Chelsea contract
Reece James has pun to paper on a new long-term contract, with the club announcing a six-year extension this morning for the 26-year-old club captain. That’s certainly welcome and wonderful news, especially as he only had two years left on his previous deal, and that would’ve meant that he was entering prime Pure Profit territory. […]

PSG 5-2 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Some good before the horror show
1. ENZO FERNÁNDEZ (6.6) When Enzo Fernández scored to make it 2-2, it really felt like Chelsea could and perhaps would not only get something out of this first leg, but maybe go on to even win it. Or, worst case, lose by one. All of those outcomes would’ve set up a massive second leg […]
Official: Gotham FC sign Guro Reiten from Chelsea FCW
If, like me, you’ve only just stop reeling from last night’s spectacular collapse in Paris, here’s another perfectly placed gut punch. And this one hits right where it hurts. Guro Reiten has left Chelsea, signing with defending NWSL champions Gotham FC, where she will reunite with former Chelsea teammates Ann-Katrin Berger and Jess Carter. Reiten […]
Liam Rosenior takes the blame for Chelsea collapse in Paris
An entire season’s worth of work in the Champions League was thrown away in fifteen minutes of madness last night, as Chelsea gifted a third goal to PSG, then gave up two more in the final minutes to effectively put this Round of 16 tie to bed. As the old adage goes: you cannot win […]

PSG 5-2 Chelsea, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Having talked revenge all week, PSG started the game with the appropriate energy and impetus, though it were Chelsea who had the first chance: João Pedro not quite able to steer a Cole Palmer cross on target. But PSG were running circles around Chelsea, and we were made to pay for our passive defending as […]
PSG vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to the first leg of our Champions League Round of 16 showdown against the defending Champions of Europe, in a (two-legged) rematch of the Club World Cup final from the summer. Chelsea won that one quiet handily in the end (3-0); this will likely be a lot tougher … to say the least. Liam […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against PSG: Neto and Garnacho, too
There’s been some discussion in the build-up to tonight’s game, with some expecting Liam Rosenior to spring a small tactical surprise on PSG, and perhaps line-up with a back-three or something of the sort. Rosenior’s experimentation with such tactics have not proven very fruitful so far, though his conservative approach in the second leg of […]
PSG vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Almost exactly eight months ago, Chelsea stood on top of the football world. Laid before, and beneath, our feet were the proverbial corpses of our enemies, including a certain Parisian club who had won the Champions League just a couple months prior and were the odds-on favorites to crown themselves Champions of the World as […]

How should Chelsea line up against PSG in Champions League Round of 16, first leg?
Chelsea resume our Champions League campaign tomorrow (Wednesday) night as we make the short journey over to Paris, to play the team we vanquished so famously in the Club World Cup final this summer … and who will want nothing more than to take their revenge for that upset. PSG are of course the defending […]
