Chelsea FanCast

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at a great win against bitter rivals Spurs and ahead to Chelsea v West Ham on Sunday. In part one we discuss a great win and team performance against Spurs on Thursday night. Lots of standout performances - Cucurella, Madueke, Trevoh, Jackson but was it the best performance of the season? Does this win ease the pressure on Poch - lose and he would have been curtains, but his post-match comments were worrying. And with the superb Conor banner displayed before the match the club simply must not sell the likes of Conor and Trevoh. They are good enough and they get it. Finally, with 4 matches yet to play, dare we dream about Euro conference league football next season? In part two we look ahead to the match against West Ham on Sunday kicking off with Chidge's team selection followed by JK's Presser Summary. Chelsea has a good record in London derbies this season with W6 D2 L3. Chelsea are now above West Ham - Moyes possibly off - out of Europe - will they be on the beach or try and be a thorn in our side as usual? The stats look good for Chelsea both recently and with our record of one defeat to them at home since 2002. How will it go - we give our predictions. We wrap up with 'They Played For Both'.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Gate 17's finest, to look back at the draw against Villa and ahead to Spurs on Thursday night. In part one we look back at the draw against Villa, arguably our best performance of the season, where we showed the fight, passion, and good football lacking against Arsenal. Poch’s half-time tweak moving the Poodle inside, worked well. And we shoudl have won it had VAR not intervened to deny Disasi a winning goal. We ask VAR what is it good for? Moises was a Kante like revelation but we still need a DM and it’s not Enzo. Reece James anyone? Gallagher steps up again – Clearlake’s folly if they sell him. Mudryk MIA again – should he be sold/loaned? Poch showing some fight at last. And finally Thiago Silva: Obrigado E Adeus. In part two, we look ahead to Thursday night's match against Spurs. Chidge gives his team selection and reveals we are down to the bare bones. Can we maintain the standard? Playing Villa on Saturday was not a bad warm up for Spurs. Spurs are more bonkers than us butare dangerous. Can we exploit their high line? Will they be out for revenge? Will the players and manager get the importance? At the end of the day, we simply can’t lose to them. We look back at some of our favourite Chelsea v Spurs matches at the Bridge and wrap up with our predictions.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a horror show against Arsenal and ahead to Saturday night's match against Aston Villa. In part one we ask why oh why did he pick Bagofshite and Disaster? Why pick Enzo if he’s carrying an injury? But we actually did ok in the first half - hung on in there, created chances (which we couldn’t finish). The second half was a shambles as we fell apart; poor defending again and worse, we gave up and as Poch said were “so soft”. It’s unacceptable isn’t it. It’s also hurts because it’s Arsenal and our heaviest defeat to them. With a record conceding goals 57 in a PL season and counting is the Bielsa affect on Poch in evidence? And with Pochs comments on what is neededm correct and necessary - will Clearlake heed them or fire and replace him? Maybe they should follow Arsenals model not Brighton’s. In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up The Villa in The Opposition View. With Villa last English team in Europe - is this the priority or top four? And while Villa are in pole position for a place in the Top 4 are they worried about Spurs? With Olympiakos next week will this impact how Emery approaches Saturday? Is Justin worried about Chelsea given the result in the FA Cup? What does he think Emery's team selection and approach will be and what's his prediction. In part three we preview Aston Villa v Chelsea starting with JK's Presser Summary and Chidge's Team Selection. Can we, must we, bounce back from Tuesday night? How do we do it? Our record against Villa is good, but you can’t trust Chelsea at the moment. We have tough fixtures coming up - Villa, Spurs playing for top 4, West Ham shit but hate us, Brighton and Bournemouth bogey teams, Forest fighting relegation - how many wins/points do we see us getting? If we get humped by Villa and Spurs will Pochs position be untenable Should Winstanley and Stewart’s positions be untenable? We wrap up with our predictions.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Dan Silver look back at a frustrating FA Cup final against Man City and ahead to Tuesday night's match against Arsenal. In part one we reflect on a disappointing and frustrating FA Cup semi-final against Man City. City were leggy and there for the taking - we were the better side for much of the game, but we couldn’t finish a shit. Poch's tactics were good - we took it to them, went long and wide and were good in the transition. It was a good performance. Jackson's poor finishing and Oliver not giving the penalty for Grealish's hand ball meant it was all very frustrating. We were the better side in a final again, poor decisions going against us cost us again; poor finishing let us down again; massive, missed opportunity again. When will we next get an opportunity? In part two we preview Arsenal v Chelsea on Tuesdaynight kicking off with JK's Presser summary and Chidge's team selection - how will we cope without Palmer and Gusto? Arsenal will be bang up for it but is their form failing? How good will it be to ruin their party? Will we be up for it or on the beach? How will it go? We give you our predictions.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at the thrashing of Everton and ahead to the FA Cup semi-final against Man City on Saturday. In part one, we look back at a great night against Everton. Palmer Again, Ole, Ole. Alfie Gilchrist he’s one of our own. Chidge got the team spot on and so did Poch. Brilliant performance, great football. Moises put in a good performance aided by Conor in the two. Silva and Chalobah worked. Even Jackson scored a good goal. We also discuss the Penalty Petulance and ask can Chelsea they kick on - are we daft asking this? In Part two we look ahead to the FA Cup semi-final against Man City. We start with JK’s presser summary, followed by Chidge’s team selection - shoudl we stick or twist? What are the differences from when we met last year, Chelsea has done well against City this season, can they build from that? Will City suffer from Madrid fall out? Will Chelsea's confidence be high after Everton? Does Chelsea's Wembley hoodoos only apply to finals, given we've won won five consecutive semi-finals in this competition and it's our 27th appearance in the FA Cup semi-finals, the third most in the competition’s history. We wrap up by discussing how will it go and give our predictions. To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at a very disappointing draw away to relegation bound Sheffield United. In part one we discuss one step forward, two steps back again; same shit, different day! By snatching a draw from the jaws of victory against lowly Sheffield Utd Chelsea once again showed a lack of leadership; lack of intensity; lack of ability; lack of football intelligence and a lack of motivation finessed with zero game management. But at least Silva and Madueke's fine goal provided some positives. In part two we ask questions of Pochettino. Did the change of formation work? Did he get the subs right? And what about his post match comments? Are the players really tired? Should they be? And why do they seem allergic to European qualification? Chelsea right now are reminiscent of the early '90's team poor against teams they should beat and great against teams they are not expected to beat. But should we be more patient? Right now it’s difficult isn't it? As we all know, it’s the hope that kills you. To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a crazy win against Man Utd and ahead to Sundays match against Sheffield Utd. In part one we look back at a crazy win against Man Utd in a euphoric Stamford Bridge. We discuss the great start but we knew it wouldn’t last.Stupid, stupid mistakes again by Moises and Badiashile – is there a case for Silva? The booing Mount and the Enzo v Mount clash. Palmer being superb and Madueke making an impact. And the old adage of never leaving early being proved again. Have Chelsea turned a corner? Nah, let’s just enjoy the joy! In part two, we welcome back Ben, the Travelling Blade in the Opposition View. We ask Ben has Chris Wilder made a difference? After conceding 80 goals this season, is teh Utd defence the issue? With Utd 10 points off 17th are they down with 8 games left? We wrap up asking Ben how he sees it going & what his prediction is. In part three, we preview Sheffield Utd v Chelsea. Kicking off with JK's Press Summary followed by Chidge's team selection. Should we stick or twist? Is their a case for Silva? Should Casadei start for Moises? The big question is will Chelsea a) not be up for it against a struggling team; b) fail to break down a team with a low block; c) shoot ourselves in the foot? Is Europe still within our grasp or should we stop talking about it? We wrap up by discussing how we see it going and give our predictions.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at Chelsea v Burnley and ahead to Chelsea v Man Utd. In part one we look at the inept finishing and faiing to break down a team in 19th position who were playing with 10 men for 55 minutes and the indefensible - ot defending the first goal; failing to defend another set piece goal and there should have been a third winning goal. Is the conclusion that some of our players are simply not good enough and likely never will be? We also discuss Neil Barnett's point to Pochettino about the possibility that players aged between 21 and 24 might not make it at a club. We wrap up part one comparing Chelsea's current midfield to various Chelsea midfield combinations between 1991 and 2024. Is our failure to dominate midfield the root of problem? In part two we salute Cole Palmer, the exceptional exception and Malo Gusto - two Clearlake signings who are definitely good enough. Frank LeBeouf seems to be channeling his inner JK and is not happy, but where is Poch in all this - is his position now indefensible? And with no European football next season is a storm brewing? Anyway, bollocks to the football, we had a great day off the pitch on Saturday and Chelsea for us is all about the people we go with and meet throughout the day. The worse it gets on the pitch the better it seems to be off it. Roll on Thursday! To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.
