Welcome home Super Frank!
Enzo Fernández recently celebrated his third anniversary at Chelsea Football Club, moving past 150 appearances in all competitions, after joining us from Benfica in January 2023 for what was then a British-record transfer fee. Enzo was fresh off of winning the World Cup with Argentina just a month prior, announcing himself on the world stage […]
Lol Hmm Allowed
To complete our misery on this Tuesday night, Trevoh Chalobah suffered a serious-looking injury in the final few minutes of the game, getting stretchered off the pitch with plenty of concern from all around. Considering that it came in the final minutes of an absolute blowout makes it even more frustrating. After the game, head […]
Well, at least it’s over now. Any hopes of a miracle were put to bed right quick, with that man again, Kvaratskhelia scoring barely six minutes into the “contest”, then PSG doubling their lead by way of a tremendous strike from Barcola. The olé’s started by the 30th minute from the visiting section. And it […]
Welcome to the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Chelsea are about to make history and come back from a three-goal deficit to advance, right? Yeah, probably not. But hey, might as well try. I have no idea what’s going on with that backline, but otherwise it’s a familiar lineup from Liam […]
Chelsea are in a massive hole for tonight’s Champions League Round of 16 second leg against PSG, and it will take something extraordinarily historic to get out of it. If I were in charge, I’d just play the Chelsea Old Boys, plus maybe Rosenior himself. Maybe get Maresca & Co back, too. How’s Paul Winstanley’s […]
True Darkest timeline: Arsenal winning PL Lol
For all intents and purposes, this tie should be over. And barring an absolute miracle of miracles, it is over. We’re talking a miracle bigger than anything we can think of. Bigger than #DareToDemba in 2014. Bigger than Vicenza, Bruges, or Barca ‘05. Bigger than anything that happened in 2012, be that Napoli, Barcelona, or […]
In the illustrious history of the Champions League, there have only been a handful of comebacks from a three-goal deficit. One of those, in the 2016-17 Round of 16, involved PSG, who beat Barca, 4-0 in Paris, then hilariously proceeded to lose 6-1 in Barcelona in the second leg. That second leg became known simply […]
On Friday, in the wake of the announcement of his new six-year contract, Reece James told reporters that physically he was in a “really good place”, able to consistently play two-three games a week after several years of battling hamstring injuries and not being able to stay consistently fit. On Monday, head coach Liam Rosenior […]
The Premier League have concluded their own investigation of Chelsea’s self-reported “incomplete financial reporting” from the Abramovich Era, and have levied a fine of £10.75m on the club, along with a suspended first-team transfer ban for two years as well as a nine-month ban on signing any Academy players from any other English club’s academy. […]
Most Spursy First
1. ROBERT SÁNCHEZ (5.8) We’ve seen plenty of Chelsea defeats over the years, but this one felt fairly unique amid all of that. It’s hard to think of a more flat, boring, toothless approach and execution, especially given the magnitude of the game at hand. Newcastle weren’t much better, but they take the win thanks […]
While the fight for a Women’s Super League seems like an afterthought for Chelsea Women, that’s not the case for all other competitions the team are still in. Including the Women’s League Cup, in which they reached the final for a seventh consecutive time after beating Liverpool and Manchester City in the previous rounds. In […]
It’s only March and Chelsea Women already have a chance of collecting some silverware for the season. They’ll be up against Manchester United once again, three weeks from eliminating the Red Devils with a 2-1 win at Kingsmeadow in extra time. The opposition will be raring to take their vengeance. If we’re smart about it, […]
Since his arrival, Liam Rosenior has gone to great lengths to keep things positive around Chelsea, praising players individually and collectively, talking up our ambitions, expressing confidence in the club’s overall direction, and so on and so forth. At times that praise has even bordered on the unwarranted, especially when the reality of the performances […]
Most First Hmm
When you have standards as high as Chelsea Women’s it’s a struggle to keep them up year after year. But we are the team who meet these very expectations. This Sunday the cycle continues. As shown by our recent meeting with Manchester United the opposition won’t go down without a tough fight. But a team […]
The match started in rather subdued fashion, with both teams nursing European hangovers, but that seemed to suit Chelsea as we were able to generate a few decent opportunities. Unfortunately Cole Palmer’s shooting radar continues to be miscalibrated, Wesley Fofana put a free header over the bar, then Palmer blocked an Enzo shot that may […]
Welcome to a glorious spring evening at Stamford Bridge; let’s hope the football will leave us in similarly glorious mood. Chelsea need a win and a cleanser after Wednesday; Newcastle have their focus firmly on Europe so hopefully they’ll just let us have this. Liam Rosenior has made a couple changes from the PSG debacle, […]
Despite a few recent mistakes (mostly against Arsenal), Robert Sánchez never quite lost the favor of the WAGNH Community — the lowest his “approval rating”, you might call it, dropped was 61% — so it’s no surprise that Bob is back with a supermajority for today’s game after the mistakes of Filip Jörgensen doomed us […]
Richest Hmm Third
Chelsea have suffered plenty of defeats in recent seasons, many of them quite frustrating, painful, infuriating. But it’s hard to remember another like Wednesday night’s debacle in Paris, where a decent, possibly even good effort through 75 minutes was so spectacularly scuppered thanks to our own mistakes. We didn’t just lose, we collapsed in every […]
If one big contract news wasn’t good enough for this Friday, here’s another, as Lauren James has also put pen to paper on a new long-term contract today, just like her brother Reece James. Two new James contracts in one day?! Is it Christmas in spring? “We are delighted that Lauren is extending her contract. […]
Chelsea’s late-game collapse against PSG more than likely has cost us not only this year’s Champions League, but it may yet have wider repercussions given some of the vibes evident in the team during the latter stages of that match. While Liam Rosenior has tried to chalk all that up to “passion” and the team’s […]
