Welcome home Super Frank!
In two matches in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league stage this season, Austrian outfit St. Pölten have given up nine goals and scored zero. They sit dead last in the table, and face one of the biggest challenges of their history today: the English champions. There’s not much for the hosts to lose here. […]

Pedro Neto, like several of his Chelsea teammates, has been pushing the limits of his physical capacities over the past few weeks, badly in need of some proper rest but playing through various problems while still giving it his all on the pitch. Thankfully, he will have that rest now, during the international break, after […]

Chelsea Women travel to Austria to face SKN St. Pölten in their third group-stage match of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, looking to solidify their position after a mixed start in Europe. A draw away at Twente and a comfortable win over Paris FC have kept the Blues on track, but Sonia Bompastor’s side will […]

1. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (8.4) Garnacho’s Chelsea career began somewhat auspiciously, as he was partially at fault for Brentford’s last-gasp equalizer on his debut. And, more pertinently, it’s taken him a while to show what his talents and his game are all about. We had seen a few glimpses — and surely had some idea from […]

Enzo Fernández had one of his best game in a Chelsea shirt last night in our 3-0 win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge, and he did it while dealing with a painful knee condition, which has now prompted him to withdraw from international duty with Argentina. In fact, as Enzo himself would later reveal, he’s […]

The game settled into its expected pattern almost from the first second, with Chelsea dominating possession and Wolves sitting back and absorbing pressure. And perhaps if we had managed to make some of our excellent movement and combinations count in the first 10-15 minutes, that would’ve turned into a less frustrating watch. Unfortunately, a couple […]

Chelsea can move up to at least third, and possibly second, with victory tonight, against bottom side Wolves, who are under interim management after the sacking of Vitor Pereira earlier this week. Watch out for the new manager bounce! Enzo Maresca has given the start to Liam Delap with João Pedro dropping to the No.10 […]

Enzo Maresca’s rotation has been a focus of discussion over the past few days, but he’s expected to start the strongest available lineup today and that’s precisely what The WAGNH Community have voted to do as well. And there’s a strong consensus in today’s voting, with all eleven starters clocking in at 70% or higher, […]

Unfortunately for us London now have another Champions League-winning team. By playing to their strength and not cowering in front of Barcelona’s might, as we often do when we face them, Arsenal Women snatched the trophy right in front of the Catalan juggernauts at the end of last season. The cost might have been a […]

It’s time! Defending Women’s Super League champions, Chelsea Women, arrive unbeaten and looking to tighten their grip on top spot, while Arsenal will be desperate to produce a performance worthy of their home crowd after an uneven start to the campaign. With both managers fielding full-strength sides, it promises to be another fiercely contested chapter […]

Arsenal host Chelsea Women at the Emirates tomorrow in one of the biggest fixtures of the Women’s Super League calendar, a meeting that always carries the weight of more than just three points. The champions arrive unbeaten and already setting the pace at the top, while the Gunners are still searching for consistency in a […]

Chelsea’s search for consistent excellence took another stumble this week as we managed just a draw away to Qarabag in the Champions League, but we have an excellent opportunity to get back on track this weekend, as Wolerhampton wander into town. Wolves remain the only winless team in the league, sitting bottom with just two […]

It’s back to Premier League action this weekend, with Chelsea hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers for a bit of Saturday Night Football under the lights at Stamford Bridge. We just played Wolves in the League Cup, putting four past them, so hopefully we can do that once again even if they’re now under interim management following the […]

End of year awards season continues with the announcements of the nominees for FIFA’s “The Best” awards, now in their tenth edition and still as awkwardly named as ever. Since Chelsea did find success in both the UEFA Conference League and, more notably, the very first edition of the revamped FIFA Club World Cup, we […]

Since I got distracted and forgot to include a player ratings form on our post-match reaction thread, here’s one now. So it’s not quite on-the-whistle as usual, but hopefully the 36 hours of reflection haven’t changed your ratings too much (since the whole point is to gauge the immediate reactions). Vote away!

The best ability is availability, as they often say. Of course, they say a lot of things and just because they say it loud and they say it often, it doesn’t always make it true. But in this case, they are not completely wrong. Roméo Lavia’s time at Chelsea has been injury-hit, to say the […]

Things began in somewhat inauspicious fashion, with Romeo Lavia picking up an(other) injury inside the first five minutes and having to make way for Moises Caicedo, whose day off was thus rudely interrupted. However, when Estevao opened the scoring not long after, with barely 15 minutes on the clock, at least it looked like the […]

Welcome to matchday four (of eight) in the league phase of the Champions League. Both teams come in with two wins from the first three games, though Chelsea should be favored in this matchup. Enzo Maresca was expected to rotate, and indeed, that’s what we’ve got — though it’s Robert Sánchez in goal and the […]

I forgot to put Liam Delap on the voting form — his suspension was only the one game for domestic competitions — though it’s unclear how much he would’ve affected the outcome. He did collect a fair few write-in votes, but Marc Guiu dominated votes at the center forward easily. The rest of the lineup […]
