Nicolas Jackson bags brace for Senegal at Africa Cup of Nations
It’s a rarity, but Chelsea do not have anyone from the current first-team playing at the Africa Cup of Nations. We do have one prominent loanee in action, however, with Nicolas Jackson leading Senegal’s latest bid for continental supremacy. The Lions of Teranga reached back-to-back finals in the 2019 and 2021 (well, 2022) editions of […]

Pushing Hmm Most
Arsenal squeak by Crystal Palace to set up League Cup semifinal against Chelsea
It took a one-week delay, then over 100 minutes, and then a lengthy penalty shootout, but Arsenal have eventually progressed past Crystal Palace, to advance to the League Cup semifinals and set up a showdown against Chelsea. The Gunners dominated possession throughout the game, but were unable to find the breakthrough against Oliver Glasner’s typically […]
Chelsea make inquiry, then pass on Antoine Semenyo — reports
Chelsea-born Antoine Semenyo may be a big fan of Chelsea, but it would appear that Chelsea are not big fans of him. According to the latest reports, the Blues have decided against pursuing his signature following an inquiry that was made this week. The 25-year-old striker’s blistering start to the season at AFC Bournemouth — […]

Here we go Hmm Excited
Aarón Anselmino to stay at Borussia Dortmund despite lack of minutes — report
Aarón Anselmino made a flying start to life at Borussia Dortmund, earning a standing ovation on his debut, just days after joining on loan from Chelsea at the end of the summer transfer window, and he’s continued to impress ever since with his “crusader spirit”, as his head coach, Niko Kovać put it recently. Unfortunately […]
Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea, Player Ratings: St Reece James’ Park
1. REECE JAMES (8.1) Reecey started the comeback in the opening minutes of the second half, scoring with a most wonderful free kick to underline what was yet another excellent performance from the captain in both midfield and at right back (he switched to the latter position after Enzo replaced Malo Gusto). It’s the 10th […]

Liverpool FCW 1-9 Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Post-match reaction
Liverpool have been devastated by injuries this season. Something that made their 1-1 draw to Chelsea Women a month ago even more surprising given the extreme lack of options that Gareth Taylor has at hand in challenges like a Blues side in title defence mode. Often criticised for conservative tactics, Sonia Bompastor took a great […]
Liverpool FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Chelsea Women managed to get the League Cup back in their hands last season after three consecutive years of failure in the very last stage of the competition. Today they begin their title defence against Liverpool, a very annoying side despite their lack of form as shown by their 1-1 draw only a month ago […]
Enzo Maresca credits Chelsea ‘character, togetherness’ for historic fightback against Newcastle United
Over the past couple years, Chelsea have often embraced the “Game of Two Halves” cliché to a rather unhealthy degree, almost as a team identity. Whether under Mauricio Pochettino or Enzo Maresca, performance levels would swing wildly not only from game to game, but from half to half. Of course, this may be endemic to […]
Liverpool FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea Women make their League Cup debut this season, taking on Liverpool away in the quarter-finals this Sunday. We finally got it back in our hands last term after three consecutive finals’ defeats, and there’s no room for complacency as the holders begin their defence against a side stretched thin but still dangerous on home […]

Hmm Wow Oof
Newcastle United 2-2 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Well, this game started badly, and almost immediately it got much, much worse. Newcastle needed a response after their derby defeat last weekend against Sunderland, and respond they did. With the stadium rocking, they came out of the blocks at a million miles an hour and we just stood there doe-eyed waiting for the bright […]
Newcastle United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to the weekend. The next few hours will determine whether it’s going to be a good one, or a not-so-good one. Come on you Blues! Enzo Maresca, as expected, has rotated back to a first-choice lineup after the midweek Cup game, and surprisingly, Enzo Fernandez does not get the start. Instead, it’s Reecey again […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Newcastle: The A+ Team
In what may be the most one-sided vote in the history of this exercise, the WAGNH Community have spoken almost literally as one in picking the lineup for today’s trip to St James’ Park. All eleven starters are well into the 80s for voting percentage, with seven reaching over 95 per cent consensus. If last […]

Hmm Chances Only
Newcastle United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s an early kickoff on Tyneside today, which means that this game is going to start in just a few short hours! So let’s get to it. It’s fourth against twelfth, but Newcastle away is never not a daunting proposition. And it’s just the first of many daunting propositions awaiting us this holiday season, with […]

Chances Advancing Hmm
How should Chelsea line up against Newcastle United?
It’s the last fixture before the holiday rush as Chelsea travel north to the faraway lands of Newcastle upon Tyne, for a lunchtime joust against the local black and white stripes. Yes, it’s another Saturday lunchtime affair. Feels like we’ve had more than our fair share of these. We will arrive on the sails of […]

Hmm Third Most
Cardiff City 1-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Garnacho to the rescue
1. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (8.0, sub) Second Man of the Match of the season for Garna, and like the first, it’s come in a League Cup match. Two goals in 45 minutes of work, doubling his tally for the season and his Chelsea career, and helping us reach the semifinals of this competition once again. It […]
Chelsea to play either Arsenal or Crystal Palace in League Cup semifinals
It’s been an easy path for us so far in the League Cup, as we’ve reached the final four by playing two games against third division clubs (Lincoln City and Cardiff City) and one against the worst team in the Premier League (Wolverhampton Wanderers). However, things are about to get significantly more difficult now. In […]
VfL Wolfsburg Frauen 1-2 Chelsea FCW, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Post-match reaction
Even with deep changes in their squad this summer Wolfsburg remain a very strong team, especially when playing at home. Chelsea Women are well aware of such a challenge even if the squad that once beat them at home in the UEFA Women’s Champions League nearly six years ago is also long gone. As expected […]
VfL Wolfsburg Frauen vs. Chelsea FCW, UEFA Women’s Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
There’s only one way for Chelsea Women to leave their UEFA Women’s Champions League fate in their hands, which is beating Wolfsburg at the German side’s turf. We’ve done this once several years ago when the Wolves were the team to beat in Europe. While they haven’t been as powerful in current times, gone are […]
