England lose to Spain in Nations League

Morgan Rogers came off the bench in the second half, but England were not able to defeat Spain in Nations League action last night, with the Three Lions failing to make good on a 2-1 half-time lead to lose 3-2 in the end. Harry Kane missed a penalty that would’ve given England a 3-1 advantage […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Arsenal WFC, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch

Questions loom over Chelsea Women’s limits this season. A unexpectedly hard-fought win against the third-best team in the Austrian Bundesliga midweek in the UEFA Women’s Champions League doesn’t inspire much confidence. It could be the case of playing with the handbrake on, something that won’t happen when we face Arsenal at home this weekend. Date […]

Jamie Gittens suffers ankle injury in England U21 match

Details are scarce at the moment, but Jamie Gittens has suffered an ankle injury in last night’s England U21 qualifier, and initial indications are that it’s unfortunately not a minor concern. The 22-year-old was spotted on crutches after the game, though manager Lee Carsley only confirmed that it was an ankle problem and that the […]

Thomas Tuchel claims Cole Palmer still playing through ‘discomfort and pain’

Cole Palmer was recalled to the England squad for the current international break following his omission for the World Cup, but the Chelsea star would be subsequently withdrawn, with reports citing “load management” as the reason. England’s official statement did hint at injury however, and national team manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed the same in […]

Manchester City found guilty on 114 of 115 charges by Premier League — report

As reported by The Athletic, among many many others, Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges levied against them by the Premier League pertaining to financial transactions between 2009 and 2018. The league’s investigation began nearly eight years ago this point, with the charges brought against the decade’s dominant club […]

Mike Penders to miss Belgium game with quadriceps injury

According to reports out of Belgium, Mike Penders (and Leandro Trossard) are set to miss Belgium’s game against Italy on Friday, with the pair getting left behind at their training center in Tubize while the rest of the squad flew out to Rome for the game. Penders is said to be dealing with a quadriceps […]

Chelsea FCW 1-0 FK Austria Wien, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction

When Chelsea Women faced an Austrian team last season, they had little to no difficulties dispatching them even though they were playing away. We had more than 43 shots against their goal and if it wasn’t for a whopping 14 saves from St. Pölten goalkeeper Carina Schlüter, this match would have hit the history books. […]

Estêvão responds to playing time concerns at Chelsea

Brazilian football media have not taken kindly to starboy Estêvão finding himself down the pecking order a bit at the moment, behind both Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers at the forward positions and behind Pedro Neto in the makeshift right wing-back position as well. In fairness, neither of those are roles we really associate with […]

Cole Palmer withdraws from England squad due to ‘injury issues’

Cole Palmer has been withdrawn from the England squad, with the Chelsea star one of five players to opt out of international duty for the current international break. As confirmed by the team, Tino Livramento, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Declan Rice, and Palmer have all been “ruled out […] due to respective injury issues”. That […]

Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli becomes Chelsea’s youngest ever Premier League player

There wasn’t much to celebrate from Chelsea’s last game before the international break, a 3-0 defeat at Brentford on Friday night, but we did get a professional debut late on for young Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli, who became our youngest ever Premier League player in the process. Congrats, Mahdi! Jody Morris had held this specific record since […]

Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, Player Ratings: A midfield, of sorts

1. VALENTÍN BARCO (5.4) At the end of the day, no one played well in this game, certainly in the second half, but earlier in the game, we did seem to finally have at least a semblance of a midfield, and that was largely thanks to the energetic Barco, making his first Premier League start […]

The Daily Hilario: The 3-week break

I made the following absolutely horrifying discovery earlier today: the international break is not two weeks long like normal, but three! Yes, three whole weeks. Three. One, two, three. Three! Apparently I missed the announcement where FIFA combined what were traditionally the September and October international breaks of two weeks each into just one big […]

Xabi Alonso disappointed with Chelsea’s ‘competitive mentality’ in Brentford defeat

Xabi Alonso had talked about wanting a “boring” win for Chelsea, and for the first 45 minutes at the Brentford Community Stadium, it looked like we actually might be on our way. While the match was scoreless, we were far less chaotic than usual, winning the possession battle and largely controlling the flow of the […]

Chelsea FCW 2-0 Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction

Hard hit by injuries just like the men’s side, head coach Sonia Bompastor’s options for picking up Chelsea Women starting lineups have been very limited. The striker-less scheme worked against Manchester United but the often conservative boss in her tactical approach doesn’t seem like she wants to reinvent the wheel by doing it so twice. […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch

An astonishing 5-0 win away against Manchester United was exactly what Chelsea Women needed after a Women’s Super League season debut that left a bad impression on everybody. To show this wasn’t mere happenstance the Blues host recently promoted outfit Birmingham City at Stamford Bridge, hoping they don’t fall into the trappings that caught them […]
