Oof Hmm Second
Wolves 1-3 Chelsea, Player Ratings: A Cold front moves through
1. COLE PALMER (8.6) This is only the second Man of the Match this season for Cole Palmer, who admitted in post-match interviews that he’s not been fully fit at any point all season. And despite the hat-trick, he’s still not fully fit, which isn’t too surprising given the nature of his injury and the […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW 0-2 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
A Chelsea Women team eager to rebound after losing back to back matches to fellow title contenders. It could have been a recipe for disaster, especially against a Tottenham team who have been fairly competent this season. While we brought on the early pressure to score, it was the hosts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium who […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
There isn’t a moment in recent times where Chelsea Women most needed a boost like today’s. Facing Tottenham at their big stage is momentous on its own. And to have that game after back to back losses to Arsenal and Manchester City in the Women’s Super League, stakes are even higher. Nothing else but meeting […]

Masterclass Heat Obvious?
Cole Palmer sets Premier League and Chelsea records with latest hat trick
Chelsea wrapped up Saturday’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers before the referee’s whistle had even blown for half-time, thanks to two penalties and a wonderful team move — all three finished off expertly by Cole Palmer. The three goals give the 23-year-old 51 for his Chelsea career (114 appearances) — the 41st player to reach that […]
Tottenham Hotspur FCW vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s been a while since Chelsea Women last lost back to back matches in general. In the Women’s Super League it’s an even rarer occasion, as we need to go back to the 2015-16 season to find it. But then, what’s the purpose of lingering over this with a match just around the corner? Title […]
Wolves 1-3 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Wolves made a bright start to the match, but Chelsea quickly established superior control and took the lead through a Cole Palmer penalty, won by João Pedro. JP was running away from goal when his ankles were clipped slightly, and he made sure to draw the referee’s attention to that fact. The Blues kept up […]
Wolves vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Chelsea look to get back to winning ways after Tuesday’s defeat as we take on the worst team in the league. Wolves have just one win all season, with eight points total. Anything less than three points to take back home to the Bridge would be a disappointment. Pedro Neto has been passed fit and […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Wolves: Chance for Garnacho?
Let’s start off with the big caveat: I accidentally left Estêvão off the voting form, so there’s a pretty decent chance that Alejandro Garnacho would’ve at least had stronger competition for nabbing the last spot in attack — and I imagine he might have lost out completely, even. Young Steve-o still garnered about 15 per […]

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea fell short of a third successive comeback as we bid goodbye to this year’s League Cup competition at the semifinal stage on Tuesday night. Some took the loss fairly hard, but there’s little time to wallow in it as it’s back to the Premier League this weekend with three very winnable points on offer. […]
Official: Sonia Bompastor extends Chelsea FCW contract
Fresh off our worst defeat in the Women’s Super League since October 2018, Chelsea FCW head coach Sonia Bompastor has been given a massive vote of confidence by the club, signing a 4.5-year contract extension, to 2030. “Renewing her contract reflects our belief in her leadership, her vision and the stability she brings to the […]
Liam Rosenior, Enzo Fernández nominated for Premier League Manager, Player of the Month
Last time a Chelsea manager head coach was nominated for Premier League Manager of the Month, it signaled the beginning of the end. Enzo Maresca would actually win said award in early December (for November), but by the end of the month, would be gone from the club. Football life comes at you fast! So […]

Deduction Settled Most
How should bruised and battered Chelsea line up against Wolves, away?
The past few weeks and months have taken a toll on the team, both physically and mentally, but we’re in the home stretch now of this extremely congested run of fixtures. Just the three more games in seven days then, and then we get like two days off! Woohoo. Despite all that, Chelsea did manage […]
Liverpool to pay Chelsea £2.8+4m in compensation for 2024 Rio Ngumoha signing — report
Rio Ngumoha swapped Chelsea’s Academy for Liverpool’s a couple years ago, leaving the club that he joined as an 8-year-old, believing that he would have a better pathway to first-team football on Merseyside. Jury’s still out on whether that’s the case. He’s got 400 minutes so far this season, which is not bad for a […]
Jamie Gittens out with ‘long-term’ hamstring injury
It’s been a (first) season to forget for Jamie Gittens, and it’s only getting worse with the news that he’s set to miss significant time after tearing his hamstring in last weekend’s game against West Ham United. There was some initial hope that the injury wouldn’t be too bad, but head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed […]

Hmm Only All this but still don’t have proper subtitles for a big chunk of their content
Arsenal 1-0 (4-2 agg.) Chelsea, Player Ratings: Good but not good enough
1. MARC CUCURELLA (7.0) Overall ratings were relatively high despite the defeat — our highest rated loss by overall average in almost exactly three years, since the 1-0 defeat away to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 in 2022-23 — and there were only a couple individual performances […]
Liam Rosenior reflects on ultimately unsuccessful tactical approach against Arsenal
In early December 2016, Chelsea went to the Etihad to play Manchester City. Antonio Conte, in his first year as Chelsea head coach, set out his team to survive the first hour, keep things close, and then try to get a result late on. City were not quite the dominant force at this time that […]

Truth TOTM Lol what?
Arsenal 1-0 (4-2 agg.) Chelsea, League Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings
It was a cagey start to the match, with both sides content to play it safe, keep things tight, and not make any tie-changing mistakes at that point. Chelsea set out in a back-five, with the wingbacks pushing forward in possession, but the focus was mainly on restricting Arsenal’s chances (and dealing with any Arsenal […]
Arsenal vs. Chelsea, League Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to the second leg of the League Cup semifinal! Chelsea trail by one from the first leg, 3-2, so we need to do something we haven’t done in nearly half a decade, beat Arsenal. There’s no away goals rule: it’s extra-time and penalties if we’re tied on aggregate after 90 minutes. To the winner, […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Arsenal: It practically picks itself
It’s a bit ironic that the day after the transfer window has shut, we’re not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to picking the starting lineup, but at least we didn’t panic and get into some more Nicolas Jackson-esque drama like in the summer. That does leave us with a lineup that practically picks […]
