Welcome home Super Frank!
After our latest demoralizing defeat, on Tuesday night, Chelsea Vice-captain Enzo Fernández stopped by the cameras of ESPN Argentina to answer a few questions. He talked about our own mistakes, about PSG’s quality, and about how we needed to regroup and support each other because there was still plenty left to fight for this season, […]
Darkest timeline if they win Most Only
For the third consecutive year, we have at least one new addition to the WAGNH Community Player Ratings Hall of Shame, a.k.a. (televised) games from the past fourteen years where the overall average rating was below 4.0. (As usual, the caveat about “televised games” is to explain why the 4-2 home defeat to third division […]
Given our very limited options for the backline in light of several centre-back injuries and the fact this squad is coming from a hard-fought final win against Manchester United in the Women’s League Cup only three days ago, you couldn’t ask for a better start for Chelsea Women. Brighton tried to explore our defensive woes […]
It’s only been a few days since Chelsea Women successfully defended their Women’s League Cup title against Manchester United. With that done, we move our focus to the Women’s Super League as we host Brighton at Kingsmeadow. Injuries to the backline and head coach Sonia Bompastor’s choice for rotation make this lineup somewhat different from […]
Fresh off the glory of beating Manchester United to a Women’s League Cup trophy and successfully defend their title, Chelsea Women host Brighton at Kingsmeadow for a (delayed) Women’s Super League clash tonight. Our chances of making up the 10-point difference between ourselves and Manchester City in eight rounds is slim, but not impossible. Especially […]
Enzo Fernández recently celebrated his third anniversary at Chelsea Football Club, moving past 150 appearances in all competitions, after joining us from Benfica in January 2023 for what was then a British-record transfer fee. Enzo was fresh off of winning the World Cup with Argentina just a month prior, announcing himself on the world stage […]
Lol Hmm Allowed
To complete our misery on this Tuesday night, Trevoh Chalobah suffered a serious-looking injury in the final few minutes of the game, getting stretchered off the pitch with plenty of concern from all around. Considering that it came in the final minutes of an absolute blowout makes it even more frustrating. After the game, head […]
Well, at least it’s over now. Any hopes of a miracle were put to bed right quick, with that man again, Kvaratskhelia scoring barely six minutes into the “contest”, then PSG doubling their lead by way of a tremendous strike from Barcola. The olé’s started by the 30th minute from the visiting section. And it […]
Welcome to the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Chelsea are about to make history and come back from a three-goal deficit to advance, right? Yeah, probably not. But hey, might as well try. I have no idea what’s going on with that backline, but otherwise it’s a familiar lineup from Liam […]
Chelsea are in a massive hole for tonight’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg against PSG, and it will take something extraordinarily historic to get out of it. If I were in charge, I’d just play the Chelsea Old Boys, plus maybe Rosenior himself. Maybe get Maresca & Co back, too. How’s Paul Winstanley’s […]
True Darkest timeline: Arsenal winning PL Lol
For all intents and purposes, this tie should be over. And barring an absolute miracle of miracles, it is over. We’re talking a miracle bigger than anything we can think of. Bigger than #DareToDemba in 2014. Bigger than Vicenza, Bruges, or Barca ‘05. Bigger than anything that happened in 2012, be that Napoli, Barcelona, or […]
In the illustrious history of the Champions League, there have only been a handful of comebacks from a three-goal deficit. One of those, in the 2016-17 Round of 16, involved PSG, who beat Barca, 4-0 in Paris, then hilariously proceeded to lose 6-1 in Barcelona in the second leg. That second leg became known simply […]
On Friday, in the wake of the announcement of his new six-year contract, Reece James told reporters that physically he was in a “really good place”, able to consistently play two-three games a week after several years of battling hamstring injuries and not being able to stay consistently fit. On Monday, head coach Liam Rosenior […]
The Premier League have concluded their own investigation of Chelsea’s self-reported “incomplete financial reporting” from the Abramovich Era, and have levied a fine of £10.75m on the club, along with a suspended first-team transfer ban for two years as well as a nine-month ban on signing any Academy players from any other English club’s academy. […]
Most Spursy First
1. ROBERT SÁNCHEZ (5.8) We’ve seen plenty of Chelsea defeats over the years, but this one felt fairly unique amid all of that. It’s hard to think of a more flat, boring, toothless approach and execution, especially given the magnitude of the game at hand. Newcastle weren’t much better, but they take the win thanks […]
While the fight for a Women’s Super League seems like an afterthought for Chelsea Women, that’s not the case for all other competitions the team are still in. Including the Women’s League Cup, in which they reached the final for a seventh consecutive time after beating Liverpool and Manchester City in the previous rounds. In […]
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, […]
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 […]
Most First Hmm
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 […]
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 […]
