If you’re abusing Hudson-Odoi for playing poorly then YOU are part of his bad form

Callum Hudson OdoiIt is obvious to me, a 19-year old receiving abuse online (and yes that also means those ridiculous red crosses over his picture) for playing poorly, is only going to make him play poorer and with no confidence as a result! It really does beckon belief that anyone in their right mind who is a […]

Lampard may be convinced to spend big on creative spark after desperately dull showing from Chelsea

Frank Lampard in the Champions LeagueChelsea have lost another home game against a weak team, a really worrying defeat that has just become the latest in a series of almost identical losses.

Lampard’s back three here to stay after perfect Spurs success

Fikayo Tomori Kurt Zouma Antonio RudigerChelsea’s win over Tottenham had every kind of drama possible crammed into a Sunday evening. It ended with racist abuse towards a Chelsea player, and along the way there were objects thrown from the crowd, red cards for violent conduct, some quite astonishing goalkeeping decisions and a stunning goal from Willian. The excitement began long […]

Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be better than any new signing, but patience is non-negotiable

Ruben Loftus CheekIt is getting ever closer to the return of Ruben Loftus-Cheek to the field of play, wearing that famous royal blue shirt once again.

Bayern Munich ChelseaChelsea have drawn Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16, a tough draw by anyone’s standards. But it could also be a lot worse.
