Aston Villa submit Alejandro Garnacho bid to Chelsea — reports
Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho experiment has returned, shall we say, disappointing results; so much so that the 22-year-old winger has been put on the transfer block just twelve months after arriving from Manchester United looking to rebuild his career. He’s not even been invited back to preseason training under Xabi Alonso (but don’t call it a […]
Crystal Palace set £60m asking price for Maxence Lacroix as Chelsea talks continue — reports
The World Cup is over so Silly Season can now begin in earnest, and Chelsea just might follow our record-breaking acquisition of Morgan Rogers (soon to be official) with another big deal, this one for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix. The France international, who played three games at the World Cup including most of the […]
Chelsea unveil 2026-27 away kit by Nike
Chelsea’s away shirt for the upcoming season will be a fairly snazzy-looking black number, with just enough design features and subtle patterning to make it interesting — unlike, say, last year’s third shirt, which was just a plain black tee at the end of the day. While the classic color for a Chelsea away shirt, […]

Morgan Rogers passes Chelsea medical, signs 6-year contract — reports
Morgan Rogers was scheduled for his Chelsea medical on Monday, and according to reports, he has now passed those checks and has also put pen to paper on a six-year contract (with a club-option for an additional year). So the official announcement shouldn’t be long now — though Rogers himself will surely be going on […]

Enzo Fernández sees red as Spain beat Argentina to win the 2026 World Cup
Well, it was no Zidane headbutt, but unfortunately for ol’e Enzo Fernández, his 2026 World Cup will be remembered for the tackle that sent Pau Cubarsí flipping in the air, and Enzo himself down the tunnel for an early shower in the final. It was a well deserved second yellow card, unlike his first, which […]
2026 World Cup, final: Spain vs. Argentina
And then, there were two. And there was one. Two teams. One game to decide it all. Spain, Champions of Europe, FIFA No.2.Argentina, Champions of South America (and defending World Cup champions), FIFA No.1. Now to decide the Champion of Champions, as they like to do on Taskmaster. Two teams of vastly contrasting styles. Spain […]
The Daily Hilario: The Odyssey
Went to see The Odyssey on opening night, and it was great. Went to see it again yesterday, and it was even better! Both times in 15/70mm IMAX, as it should be. It may not be Nolan’s best (Interstellar, still), but as a certified fanboy, I rate it among his greatest. If you know Nolan’s […]
England beat France in an absolute goalfest to finish third at the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Third-place games at the FIFA World Cup tend to go only one of two ways. All the pressure’s off and teams generally just want to be home … so the game turns into either an absolute non-event, or, if we’re lucky, a fun exhibition where both teams showcase a bit of the beautiful game under […]
Chelsea, Aston Villa reach verbal agreement for £117m Morgan Rogers transfer — report
Here’s a (massive) bit of exclusive news hot off the presses from The Athletic’s David Ornstein to un-quieten your otherwise quite quiet Saturday: Chelsea are set to sign Morgan Rogers! On a club-record fee. This is not a drill. According to the report, Chelsea have reached a “verbal agreement” with Aston Villa over a transfer […]

2026 World Cup, third place game: France vs England
The World Cup is one of the last remaining knockout competitions to insist on holding a third-place game for the two losers of the semifinals. Occasionally, this might have some meaning for a team who may have overachieved just to get to the final four, and could thus still finish with a rewarding win. But […]

Trevoh Chalobah ‘talks continue’ between Como and Chelsea — report
Serie A upstarts Como 1907 have followed up their interest in Trevoh Chalobah with a bid or two over the past few weeks, but evidently none of those offers have met our asking price (whatever that asking price may be). According to Ben Jacobs, the Blues have “now rejected two bids” from the Champions League-bound […]

Enzo Fernández scores as Argentina beat England to reach World Cup final
Chelsea’s Captain and Chelsea’s Vice-captain faced off in the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup, in a match that had many more bigger storylines around it, but in the end will be likely remembered for yet another scintillating comeback from the never-say-die boys of Argentina. Or, if you’re England, will be remembered for going far […]
2026 World Cup, semifinal: England vs. Argentina
To some extent, today’s game feels like the final already. Not necessarily because I’d expect either to beat Spain the actual final, but the sense of occasion, rivalry, and the potential drama is at the highest levels already. And we haven’t even kick a ball in anger, yet. That said, I’m just hoping for a […]
Chelsea, RC Strasbourg exploring Gaga Slonina move — reports
International goalkeeper of mystery Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina is expected to be leaving Chelsea this summer, but he may not be going very far (at least logistically speaking). According to multiple reports, the 22-year-old may be the latest Chelsea goalkeeper to make the switch, at least temporarily, to RC Strasbourg, following in the footsteps of Đorđe […]

2026 World Cup, semifinal: France vs. Spain
We’ve reached the final four of the 2026 World Cup, and what a final four it is! Footballing superpowers in all four corners; all previous winners: in fact, it’s three of the last four champions (Spain in 2010, France in 2018, Argentina in 2022), plus England and their long drought dating back to 1966. The […]
Rayo Vallecano holding out for full release clause on Pep Chavarría — reports
Chelsea “opened talks” with Rayo Vallecano a couple weeks ago regarding a potential transfer Pep Chavarría, but so far we seem to be making very little, if any progress. That’s not for a lack of trying: according to reports yesterday, the Blues have made at least one offer, meeting Rayo’s €15m asking price. But Rayo […]

Official: Manchester United sign Andrey Santos from Chelsea
Andrey Santos has completed his £50m move to Manchester United, which was agreed last week. The 22-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford. There’s been a rather visceral reaction to this transfer, but at the end of the day, Santos was third-choice in midfield at best, behind both Moisés Caicedo and Enzo […]
