Welcome home Super Frank!
Despite a couple disappointing results, Chelsea still have a chance of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League “league-phase” table, which would earn us a bye, and take us straight into the Round of 16. We’re already assured of a playoff spot after last week’s win over Pafos, but we can skip two […]

Last week, Chelsea were linked with Douglas Luiz, currently on loan from Juventus at Nottingham Forest, but it looks like the 27-year-old midfielder will be heading back to Aston Villa instead (also on loan, with an option to make it permanent). And that’s perfectly fine. Since leaving Villa a couple years ago, Luiz has struggled […]

1. ESTÊVÃO (8.4) Estêvão has five (5) Man of the Match awards in his last ten (10) starts. Maybe he should start more often! 2. JOÃO PEDRO (7.7) Team-leading ninth goal of the season for JP, which means he’s now just one away from a fourth successive season with double-digits goals in all competitions. Is […]

Axel Disasi’s six-month paid (yet involuntary) vacation may soon be over, with the 27-year-old defender hoping to find a club that will let him go back to work in the second half of the season. That club won’t be Chelsea, despite his recent reintegration into first-team training, but it could be West Ham United. According […]

Chelsea have beaten several other top-tier teams to the signing of Yisa Alao, a 17-year-old left back from Sheffield Wednesday. Alao has signed just a two-year contract, which is quite short given the usual contract lengths of other signings, but is limited by his age (players under the age of 18 are not allowed to […]

Chelsea put together one of our best and most complete overall performances Sunday afternoon at Selhurst Park, dispatching Crystal Palace by a score of 3-1 and climbing back up into the top-five European spots in the table. Granted, Palace are in an absolute tailspin at the moment and have become one of the worst teams […]

Chelsea look set to possibly reinforce our center back options with the recall of Aarón Anselmino from Borussia Dortmund, as per an exclusive this evening from The Athletic. The report stops short of claiming that Anselmino’s about to join the first-team, with Chelsea still “evaluating the centre-back market”, but surely we would not be bringing […]

It was a fairly high tempo yet ultimately quite low quality first half at Selhurst Park, with very few chances at either end, but with Chelsea taking a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to an individual effort from Estêvão, who seized upon an errant backpass to run at goal from the halfway line, hold […]

Welcome to Selhurst Park where a struggling Crystal Palace lie in wait. Chelsea have had great success against Palace in recent years, so hopefully that continues today. Unfortunately, it looks like Cole Palmer was not passed fit for the game. Estêvão does start, and that’s fun. Interestingly (mildly), it’s Teddy Sharman-Lowe serving as backup goalkeeper, […]

Chelsea have a huge game coming up midweek, away against Napoli in the Champions League, but that’s no reason to overlook the more immediate task at hand. Three points are an absolute must today against Crystal Palace (and perhaps even more so than on Wednesday) as we look to remain in the thick of the […]

Chelsea have made a decent start to life under Liam Rosenior with three wins in his first four games, the only defeat a Cup match against league-leaders Arsenal, but our overall form remains on the disappointing end, especially in the Premier League, away from home. It’s been almost exactly two months since we tasted victory […]

For a good while one of the best things Chelsea Women were able to do was regularly beating Arsenal, both at home and away. That started to change over the last years when we went to their turf. But at least we could still claim Kingsmeadow and Stamford Bridge as our own “fortresses” against their […]

It’s back to back derbies for Chelsea Women this week as right after facing Manchester City away in the Women’s League Cup semifinals, the Blues host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the Women’s Super League. Last time around a packed house gave us the energy to beat the Gunners on a slim margin. We can […]

Liam Rosenior has won three of his first four games in charge of Chelsea — a pretty decent start — but now four of the next five are away, including potentially season-defining games against Napoli in the Champions League and Arsenal in the League Cup. We’ve struggled on the road (2 wins in 8 in […]

At the very end of Chelsea’s 2-1 home defeat against Aston Villa, which would prove to be Enzo Maresca’s penultimate match in charge of the Blues, a (full) water bottle was thrown from the Chelsea dugout in the direction of the Aston Villa dugout. At least it’s presumed to have been thrown rather than apparate […]

Those who surmised that the rumors yesterday of Chelsea “exploring a move” for Douglas Luiz were a result of something happening to one of our midfielders are being proven right today, with head coach Liam Rosenior confirming that Dario Essugo has suffered a setback just as he was getting ready to make his season debut. […]

According to The Athletic and the BBC, Chelsea are “interested” in midfielder Douglas Luiz and are “exploring a move” over a potential loan for him (and nothing more than that, as per Fabrizio Romano). None of this makes too much sense of course, but sense isn’t ever a necessary ingredient to transfer market rumors and […]

1. MOISÉS CAICEDO (7.5) Caicedo’s having a career year as far as goals scored are concerned: this is now his fifth in all competitions, just one off his career high, which he set back in his debut season in Ecuador. This is all just a bonus of course to his usual contributions as a world-class […]
