Welcome home Super Frank!
A daunting task awaits Chelsea this weekend as we travel the relatively short distance to take on familiar foes Arsenal. The Gunners are leading the league at the moment, though Manchester City have closed the gap to just five points (and they play each other very soon). Right now, it’s up to us to take […]
There was a power vacuum at the top of the Chelsea FC Women organization following the departure of long-time general manager Paul Green earlier this month, and though we all expected Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart to step into that void, the club have instead appointed Phil Radley as the new sporting director. Radley had […]
The final Champions League knockout bracket is set, and Chelsea’s path to a potential trophy will have to go through Paris once again. In a rematch of this summer’s Club World Cup final, and of many Champions League campaigns of yore, we will face PSG in the Round of 16 of this season’s Champions League. […]
Hmm First What
Chelsea and West Ham United were both fined by The Football Association for the fracas that occured at the end of our match a few weeks ago, which, as we might recall, included Adama Traoré tossing Marc Cucurella aside like a bale of hay, and then Jean-Clair Todibo trying to choke out João Pedro. (Todibo […]
1st Hmm Lol
As expected, both Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain took care of their respective Round of 32 matchups, which means that one of those two will be facing us next, in the Round of 16. (And the team who don’t play against us will in turn face Barcelona instead.) Newcastle were never really threatened as they […]
If you’ve not watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, what are you doing? Go. Watch. Most Hmm Insane
Chelsea were back on the training ground today (Tuesday) to begin preparations for the big showdown against league-leaders Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend. Can we do better against them (and the refs) than Spurs? Let’s hope so! It’s now ten (10!) straight without a win against the Gunners in all competitions, which would make […]
There may be no sporting event I love more than the Winter Olympics. Yes, probably even more than the World Cup. The Summer Olympics are great, too, but I absolutely adore the Winter games: from the basics like (alpine and nordic) skiing and (NHL returns!) hockey (even as Slovakia ran out of luck and talent […]
Chelsea advanced to the final eight of the Women’s FA Cup thanks to a dramatic, extra-time victory over Manchester United in the Round of 16 this weekend, and our reward for that will be a home game against Tottenham Hotspur in the quarterfinals. Spurs beat London City Lionesses last night on penalties to advance and […]
1. JOÃO PEDRO The lowest rated match overall under Liam Rosenior, and there wasn’t much to be happy about from it. Two more points dropped and gifted to the opposition, leaving us with just two points from six in our last two home games against opposition in and around the relegation zone. Not great! The […]
Leading?! Oof Highest
With Manchester United going on a hot streak in England and abroad, Chelsea Women had a point to make: we can put a stop to this nonsense. The Blues’ plan was to take charge of the pitch and keep the heat on the visitors at Kingsmeadow. Whereas United were happy to let Phallon Tullis-Joyce put […]
This is the second of at least clashes Chelsea Women are having with Manchester United this season. The first was a Women’s Super League where we shared the spoils at Leigh Sports Village. Today there can’t be a sharing of anything. Only one of us get through to the Women’s FA Cup quarter-final. And the […]
Given these two teams will meet at Ashton Gate next month for the Women’s League Cup final, this clash between Chelsea Women and Manchester United at Kingsmeadow is pretty much a preview of things to come when they meet at a big(ger) stage. United are coming in hot from several wins in a row while […]
Highest Bottled Most
Chelsea made the perfect start to the game, scoring inside of five minutes and then piled on the pressure, looking for a quick second. But after João Pedro’s opener, we were not able to get beyond Burnley’s massed ranks and their willingness to throw bodies at shots. The visitors may have been behind, but they […]
he players got four days off to catch some sunshine, but now it’s back to the grind with three very important points on offer. Burnley are not very good and are likely going down; we cannot afford to drop any points to them. With no midweek action coming up, Liam Rosenior is free to choose […]
Pedro Neto may have scored a hat-trick against Hull City in the FA Cup, but that was not enough to convince the WAGNH Community that he has snapped out of his subpar form of late, with the voters preferring Estêvão by about 10 per cent margin. Neto still would’ve made the cut for the starting […]
Lol Oof Well
For the past few months, Chelsea have spent nearly every waking hour playing football, training for playing football, or recovering from playing … football. Football, football, football! You might say that’s to be expected, given it’s their job and it’s the middle of the season, but as Liam Rosenior pointed out in his pre-match press […]
AI is all the rage these days — everything with even just a hint of a generative algorithm being hailed as the next biggest productivity booster — so it’s perhaps no surprise that Chelsea have found an AI company willing to splurge some cash and become our front-of-shirt sponsor, at least for the rest of […]
UPDATE: Lavia did in fact, and played the first half in the 2-2 draw. Chelsea took a 2-0 lead (Leo Cardoso and Shim Mheuka with the goals) but coughed it up late on. Sounds familiar! If we’re lucky and keep our eyes peeled on the misty horizon, we just might spot a mythical creature going […]
Deal Hmm First
