Welcome home Super Frank!
Chelsea look set to reinforce our defensive group this January after all, but it looks like we will do so with an in-house option, rather than by splurging on some other player with high potential. The Blues are expected to recall Mamadou Sarr from his loan at sister-club RC Strasbourg. New head coach Liam Rosenior […]

We need to recognise every now and then that the standards set by Chelsea Women are extremely high. That’s the result of having so little room for failure in every competition we enter, including the 22-match Women’s Super League; and the fact we’ve done things such as winning every single domestic title there was to […]

Over the last years Chelsea Women have rarely been in the situation of chasing after a Women’s Super League leader for the title. And even in the very few occasions this took place, no gap felt as unsurmountable as the one currently in place between ourselves and Manchester City. We can very well beat them […]

Involved First Agreement

If someone had told me prior to last night’s game that Chelsea were going to make history against West Ham United at Stamford Bridge, I would’ve bet a fair amount that something was about to go very, very wrong for us. Good thing I’m not a betting man! Granted, for the first 45 minutes, something […]

After bouncing around so many competitions, Chelsea Women will finally get a back-to-back match in the Women’s Super League. Not that we want to avoid being part of other championships but it’s good to have a prolonged focus every once in a while. The only issue is having to face the league leaders right after […]

The writing was all over the wall. An up-and-coming side in the relegation zone set to face a Chelsea team in the very first steps of figuring out how they will look like under a new manager. Jarrod Bowen’s cross-turned-goal was the kind of play that makes you say “this looks like a disaster-in-waiting”. Crysencio […]

West Ham have dug themselves into a pretty deep hole in the Premier League. However they’re doing their best to come out of it, beating Tottenham and Sunderland before heading to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. We can’t afford being their third consecutive PL win. Which in Liam Rosenior’s mind means maintaining a strong core […]

Sandwiched between two big Wednesdays, Chelsea take on West Ham today at the Bridge. On paper, this is an easier matchup than either Napoli or Arsenal away. But is it any less important? Probably not! Head coach Liam Rosenior called it the biggest game of his time in charge yet. It has the potential of […]

It’s not been a great winter for snow in Northern California. Ski resorts in the Sierras struggled to open on time, or at all, with most having to make do with man-made snow (well, machine-made) before Christmas, when a massive storm finally rolled in. That dumped for a while, but since things finally calmed down […]

Part of the new Champions League format is that the knockout round matchups are not drawn anew after every completed round, but are rather set in a bracket, much like the playoffs would be in leagues like the NFL. It’s not exactly the same, but certainly a similar concept, including the part where some of […]

Kendry Páez’s first foray into European football has not gone too well, with the 18-year-old midfielder trading loan assignments today, switching from RC Strasbourg in the French top division to River Plate in the Argentinian one, for the entire 2026 season. That’s still a step up from the Ecuadorian league where he had played the […]

Chelsea have won five of the six games under Liam Rosenior, including the last four in a row, with the last two of those coming away from home. That matches our longest winning streak of the season. Now we have a great chance to extend that winning run as we return to the Bridge, where […]

1. JOÃO PEDRO (9.1) It’s been a bit of an inconsistent season for JP, who made a big splash in the summer when he signed during the Club World Cup (3 goals in 3 games), carried that form into the start of the season (two goals and three assists in his first four league games), […]

It’s been a quiet January at Chelsea for the past 29 days, and it’s likely that it will be a quiet January for a couple more days, until the transfer window slams shut on Monday night … which actually will be the second day of February! So technically we could have a very quiet January, […]

Since coming in, Liam Rosenior made it a point to not try to change too many things tactically from what Enzo Maresca had been doing with Chelsea. The new head coach spoke in reverence of Maresca’s setup, which aligned with the BlueCo principles that Rosenior himself had been aligning to at RC Strasbourg. And seeing […]

Chelsea’s experimental lineup made a positive enough start to the game, and we would get our reward with an early goal. Juan Jesus blocked a free kick with his arm, and though the commentary painted it as an unfortunate incident, the defender literally moved his arm towards the ball to block it. Since he was […]

Welcome to the match 8 of 8 in the league phase of this year’s Champions League. Chelsea are assured of a top-24 finish and thus a place in the knockout rounds, but if we win today (and other results go in our favor as well), we can still finish in the top-8 and get to […]

Raheem Sterling’s Chelsea exile is over. And so is his time at Chelsea. The club have agreed a buyout of the 31-year-old’s contract, which had 18 months still left on it. This is similar to the deal we struck with Ross Barkley a few years ago. Terms of the buyout are confidential, but according to […]

There’s a potential spot in the top-eight up for grabs in tonight’s showdown against Antonio Conte’s Napoli, a game that Liam Rosenior called “huge” the other day. Chelsea’s spot in the knockout rounds is already assured, but we can skip the Round of 32 by finishing among the eight best and thus immediately advancing to […]

After seven rounds in the “league phase” (née “group stage”) of the Champions League, only two teams are guaranteed to finish in the top eight and automatically advance to the Round of 16, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. That means six spots are still up for grabs to get to skip the first knockout round. Chelsea […]
