Welcome home Super Frank!
Levi Colwill has been working all season to come back as soon as humanly possible from the ACL injury he suffered in preseason, and it looks like he just might achieve his ambitious goal of getting to play before the end of the season. The 23-year-old has been slowly ramping up his involvement in first-team […]
Chelsea’s full accounts for 2024-25 were published earlier this week, revealing details behind the record £250m+ losses posted for the fiscal year. This is all funny math to me, but I suppose the big question is, are we in trouble? As in, is the club’s existence or viability as a top-flight institution being threatened? As […]
Hmm Most Involved
Chelsea may be struggling at senior level, but — somewhat ironically given the millions we’ve spent on supposedly top-tier young talent — we’re doing quite well at Academy level. The U18s (coached by Dan Hogan since January; Hassan Sulaiman before then) are currently leading the South Division of the U18 Premier League while the U21s […]
Youngest Quickest Hmm
Ed.note: This was originally Monday’s Hilario, but I neglected to publish it. So now it’s here, on Tuesday. Carry on. Wow Lol Hmm
1. MARC CUCURELLA (6.0) It’s not been a great season for Marc Cucurella, certainly not after the highs of last season that saw him in the conversation for our player of the year, even. But relatively speaking, he’s still been among our better, most consistent performers — recent injury and drop in form notwithstanding — […]
Once again, it wasn’t necessarily the defeat but the manner of the defeat that’s caused the most consternation. After all, Chelsea have not been on the level of Manchester City for five years running. It’s now thirteen games without a win against Pep Guardiola’s side, since beating them in the 2021 Champions League final. Our […]
Chelsea made a slightly nervy start to the game, but then settled quickly and were able to go toe-to-toe with the visitors for a brief while. While our possession was mostly inert and seemed to run out of ideas very quickly, we at least looked to be growing in confidence. And we almost reaped great […]
Welcome back to Premier League action. Chelsea come in to this game in sixth, barely hanging on to top-five hopes. Manchester City come in second, but still in the title fight. As amusing as it would be to play our part in Arsenal’s late season collapse, we need these three points just as badly. So […]
Unlocked Hmm Streak
Chelsea are dealing with a couple big absences for today’s game against Manchester City, including in midfield with Enzo Fernández suspended (by the club) and in defense, where both Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah are injured. Reece’s replacement at right back is obvious: Malo Gusto. But for the other two, the WAGNH Community were split […]
Chelsea snapped a four-match losing streak in emphatic fashion last weekend, but beating the worst team from two divisions lower, even by seven goals, has, unsurprisingly, hardly shifted the vibes. Our inglorious exit from the Champions League, coupled with just one win from our last six Premier League matches has really dimmed the prospect of […]
Optimistic Highest Hmm
I must admit, I don’t have high hopes for this Sunday. Beating the third division’s worst team, even if by seven goals, hasn’t done much to restore any sort of confidence about our ability to do any damage to a team like Manchester City. In years past, I might’ve said that it would be classic […]
From a brash, rising superstar at Manchester United to a glum, struggling benchwarmer at Chelsea, it’s been a rough couple years for Alejandro Garnacho. He’s gone from the great hope of one club, to practically an afterthought at another, and largely forgotten everywhere else. Last summer’s £40m change of scenery certainly hasn’t had the desired […]
Most Huh? Hmm
Chelsea appear to have won the battle of wills between club and player, if the latest words from Enzo Fernández’s agent, Javier Pastore are any indication. Pastore came out fighting in the wake of Enzo’s suspension by the club for the comments made during the international break, but his most recent comments are far more […]
Aarón Anselmino’s season has gone from bad to worse, with the youngster suffering another hamstring injury, this time to his other leg! The Chelsea loanee had just returned from several weeks on the sidelines, but is now set to be ruled out again for who knows how long. RC Strasbourg head coach Gary O’Neil confirmed […]
After the recent public comments from the likes of Enzo Fernández and Marc Cucurella, Chelsea are said to be targeting a bit more experience in this summer’s transfer window, though it’s hard to imagine that we’d make any drastic changes to the master plan that we’ve defended at every turn and have kept our subscription […]
Unbeaten Most Oof
The Premier League will once again qualify at least five teams to the Champions League next season, with Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Sporting CP last night, thanks to Kai Havertz’s goal, making that official. English teams have been leading UEFA’s performance metrics all season, which is how the extra spot(s) are determined, so this was […]
Most Contender Wow
Most Improbable Lol
Reece James and Enzo Fernández have been handling captaincy duties at Chelsea over the past few years, with the likes of Moisés Caicedo or Trevoh Chalobah also taking the armband on rare occasion, but with all those guys unavailable this weekend — Reecey and Trev injured; Moi rested; Enzo suspended by the club — those […]
