Qarabag vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch

It’s a 5000-mile round trip, to go to Azerbaijan in search of our next three points in the Champions League, so we better make sure we do in fact return with all three. This Qarabag side, winners of two of their first three league phase matches, are not the Qarabag whom we beat 10-0 combined […]

How should Chelsea line up against Qarabag, away?

Last time Chelsea had to travel to play away in the farthest reaches of “Europe” (i.e. somewhere in the middle of Eurasia in Kazakhstan), we took not only the “B-team” but also a bunch of kids from the Academy, leaving most of the first-team back in London. But that was essentially a meaningless game in […]

Cole Palmer named in 2024-25 FIFPRO World XI

In a somewhat surprising development, Cole Palmer has been voted in to the FIFPRO World XI by his fellow professionals. It’s surprising a bit not because Palmer wasn’t and isn’t amazing, or deserving, but last season wasn’t even his best season for Chelsea! His first year, 2023-24 was better in just about every respect! But […]

Spurs 0-1 Chelsea, Player Ratings: Moisés Caicedo the ‘top best’

1. MOISÉS CAICEDO (9.2) Not only is Moisés Caicedo excellent and impactful just about every time we play, he tends to save his very best performances for the biggest games. That’s a most wonderful habit among all the other wonderful habits he has. Keep this up, and he will be mentioned in the same breath […]

Enzo Maresca happy with Spurs win, delighted with clean sheet

When I was in London last time*, back in early April, I had the pleasure of watching Chelsea against Spurs at Stamford Bridge, sat next to some dude who kept singing “Tottenham get battered everywhere they go” pretty much the entire time. Chelsea would of course end up winning, but only just, thanks to an […]

Spurs 0-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction

Had Chelsea’s game against Wolves in the League Cup earlier this week ended right after the first half, the Blues fanbase would arrive at today’s match against Tottenham Hotspur at their turf in the Premier League with much more confidence. Our second half performance in that match managed to steal our thunder. Under former Brentford […]

Spurs vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch

Welcome to the big game. Normally, we’d be quite confident of beating Spurs, regardless of circumstance. This time however, that notion feels a bit (a lot?) more tenuous. Hopefully I’m proven wrong. Enzo Maresca has made a couple changes from last weekend, with Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto coming in to the side — we’ll […]

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

Even though Chelsea Women have come to today’s match at Stamford Bridge unbeaten, this record doesn’t mean they’re in their best moment. Outside of a few matches where they managed to overwhelm the opposition very early on, the Blues haven’t been as dominant as they were even in comparison to last season when this team […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Spurs: Another chance for Marc Guiu

We had a slightly abbreviated voting period this time around, but the trend in the responses is pretty clear already. Seven of the eleven starters have collected over 80 per cent of the vote each, while three more were right around 70 per cent. The one position up for debate was the fourth attacking player, […]

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

Chelsea have won five in six, but the vibes aren’t exactly peachy at the moment. The start to the season has not been as delightful as our Club World Cup success might have led us to believe that we could achieve, and this young team continue to make very classic young team mistakes. And ain’t […]

How should Chelsea line up against Spurs at New Three Point Lane?

Chelsea got back to winning ways midweek beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup fourth round, but the vibes weren’t exactly immaculate afterwards. The team threatened to give away a 3-0 lead against the worst team in the Premier League, and then Liam Delap had a bit of a headrush and got himself sent off. […]

Wolves 3-4 Chelsea, Player Ratings: How about that wondergoal?

1. JAMIE GITTENS (8.1) It’s been a quiet start to life for young Jamie Gittens at Chelsea following his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund. He’s been at, or near the bottom of the pecking order at winger for much of the season thus far, impressing sparingly and, as a result, not getting much consistent playing […]

Enzo Maresca ‘very upset’ with second half against Wolves, Liam Delap red card

Chelsea may have won 4-3 last night against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the fourth round of the League Cup, but Enzo Maresca was not particularly pleased by what he witnessed in that game. Personally, I was quite entertained in a relatively low-pressure situation: from the absolute cakewalk of a first half with our youngsters shining, to […]

Eden Hazard inducted into Premier League Hall of Fame

Fresh off his recent appearance at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea Legends, we’re getting another delightfully heavy dose of Eden Hazard nostalgia as our legendary winger has been voted in as the newest member of the Premier League Hall of Fame. This was Hazard’s first year of eligibility, and he joins fellow Blues John Terry, Ashley […]

Chelsea drawn against Cardiff City in League Cup quarterfinals

Chelsea booked a placed in the next round of the League Cup thanks to an entertaining 4-3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers last night. And fortune would smile upon us a bit later as well, with the Blues getting a favorable in the quarterfinals. The Blues of London will be paying a visit to the Blue-birds […]

Wolves 3-4 Chelsea, League Cup: Post-match reaction

Wolves are in a very bad place, one in which is very difficult to find a way out without a massive overhaul from top to bottom. Their entire model seems to have reared its ugly head, with the little talent they had at their hands now gone to seemingly greener pastures. It wouldn’t take long […]
