The Daily Hilario: The 3-week break
I made the following absolutely horrifying discovery earlier today: the international break is not two weeks long like normal, but three! Yes, three whole weeks. Three. One, two, three. Three! Apparently I missed the announcement where FIFA combined what were traditionally the September and October international breaks of two weeks each into just one big […]
Xabi Alonso disappointed with Chelsea’s ‘competitive mentality’ in Brentford defeat
Xabi Alonso had talked about wanting a “boring” win for Chelsea, and for the first 45 minutes at the Brentford Community Stadium, it looked like we actually might be on our way. While the match was scoreless, we were far less chaotic than usual, winning the possession battle and largely controlling the flow of the […]
Chelsea FCW 2-0 Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
Hard hit by injuries just like the men’s side, head coach Sonia Bompastor’s options for picking up Chelsea Women starting lineups have been very limited. The striker-less scheme worked against Manchester United but the often conservative boss in her tactical approach doesn’t seem like she wants to reinvent the wheel by doing it so twice. […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Chelsea Women are back at Stamford Bridge for their third Women’s Super League match of the season, hosting WSL 2 champions, Birmingham City. They’ll seek to keep momentum going on the back of a massive 5-0 win over Manchester United last weekend, a scoreline that was the result of a collective performance we haven’t seen […]
Chelsea FCW vs. Birmingham City WFC, Women’s Super League: Preview, team news, how to watch
An astonishing 5-0 win away against Manchester United was exactly what Chelsea Women needed after a Women’s Super League season debut that left a bad impression on everybody. To show this wasn’t mere happenstance the Blues host recently promoted outfit Birmingham City at Stamford Bridge, hoping they don’t fall into the trappings that caught them […]

Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction
The ever increasing amount of injuries Chelsea have had to endure in this season start isn’t helping manager Xabi Alonso. With at least five of his first-choice players out of contention, rotation was forced upon us on what had all the indications to be a difficult time at Brentford’s home turf. We did the best […]
Brentford vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
Chelsea look to enter the international break with all three points from tonight’s visit to Brentford, who have yet to lose a game this season with one win and three draws in the first four weeks. Our last three visits to this stadium have also ended in draws, so I suppose that might be a […]
England call up Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers; confirm Reece James injury
Xabi Alonso wasn’t too pleased with Brazil revealing João Pedro’s injury (which may or may not be trivial in length and significance), and now the Chelsea manager’s efforts to keep everyone in the dark about injuries have taken another big hit, with England confirming an injury to Reece James. Thomas Tuchel has called on both […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Brentford: Welbeck and Barco to the rescue
Chelsea have been hit by a couple key new injuries, with João Pedro and Reece James joining Moisés Caicedo, Marco Palestra, and Jordan Henderson on the unavailable list. We’re not yet sure of the severity of either JP’s or Reecey’s injuries, but they (most likely) will be missing in action tonight (and over the international […]
Brentford vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea’s last game before the international break will be played under the Friday Night Lights at Brentford, with the Blues hoping to enter the break on a good note and the Bees looking to put a sting in those plans. Brentford have only won one game so far in this year’s Premier League, drawing their […]

How should Chelsea line up against Brentford amid rising number of injury concerns?
We have one more game before the international break, and it’s tomorrow night at nearby Brentford, which technically makes this yet another West London Derby. But our main concern right now are injuries, which appear to be piling up a bit. While Xabi Alonso specifically didn’t rule anybody out in his press conference earlier today, […]
Official: Clearlake acquire ‘full control’ of Chelsea
After four years of a complicated and increasingly awkward co-ownership, the “Boehly-Clearlake Consortium” (which would be renamed BlueCo to make things easier) are now comprised of “just” Clearlake Capital (and also Hansjörg Wyss with his small stake). As announced today officially by the club, Clearlake have bought out Todd Boehly and Mark Walter to acquire […]

João Pedro withdrawn from Brazil squad due to injury
Following his shocking snub for the World Cup, João Pedro was called up to Brazil for the season’s first international break coming up next week. Unfortunately, he’s going to have to wait a bit longer to pull on the famous shirt of the Seleção. Doubly unfortunately, it appears that he’s going to be out for […]
Chelsea drawn against Liverpool in fourth round of League Cup
The first of hopefully very many Xabi Alonso Derbies is going to take place the week of October 26, with Chelsea drawn against Liverpool, away, in the fourth round of this year’s League Cup. Obviously, Alonso’s a Liverpool legend and though this won’t be the first time he’s back at Anfield with another team, it […]

The Daily Hilario: Glacier National Park
I’ve spent the last couple days in Glacier National Park, trying to see the sights and do some hiking. The weather has not been cooperating unfortunately: it rained all day today and most of yesterday and the clouds have robbed us of some amazing vistas. We even had snow at the upper elevations, which meant […]
Xabi Alonso not happy with Chelsea’s ‘dynamic in terms of conceding’ goals
Another two goals were conceded over the weekend, bringing Chelsea’s season total to nine, fourth most in the league behind only Ipswich Town, Crystal Palace, and bottom of the table Coventry City. Thankfully, we do have the second highest scoring attack in the league, so we do have seven points to show for our efforts […]

Chelsea 2-2 Hull City, Player Ratings: When scoring goals is not enough
1. JOÃO PEDRO (6.8) João Pedro had a goal and an assist. Morgan Rogers had a goal. Cole Palmer had an assist. Our delightful front three combined for all of our scoring, and in an ideal world, two such goals would be enough to get all three points — especially against a team who had […]
Manchester United WFC 0-5 Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Post-match reaction
Sonia Bompastor’s starting lineup of choice immediately raised some eyebrows. Having only Aggie Beever-Jones as a no.9 to rely, the Chelsea Women head coach chose Lauren James to slot in AGB’s usual spot instead. Even with this tactical approach the Blues were the better team against hosts, Manchester United, which is already custom. We still […]
Manchester United WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s Super League: Lineups & Game Thread
It’s an early trip to Manchester that Chelsea Women will take today, in a match that can pretty much tell us the way the rest of our Women’s Super League campaign will go. The 1-1 draw to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge was unacceptable given our standards, and we need a strong answer against the […]
