Chelsea down to final 8 players in action as Euros reach thrilling finish

What do Ethan Ampadu, Michy Batshuayi, Mateo Kovacic, Billy Gilmour, Kurt Zouma, N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud, Antonio Rudiger, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner all have in common? Well, they all play for Chelsea of course. But there’s something else to add to the list now – they have all been eliminated from the European Championships. […]

Opinion: Cesar Azpilicueta proving he’s not ready to deteriorate any time soon

Cesar Azpilicueta scored his first goal for Spain last night as he played the full match including extra time to help them beat Croatia to reach the Quarter Finals of the Euros. After some lengthy time out of the national squad, he was finally bought back in by Luis Enrique this summer, and it has […]

Opinion: Don’t write off Ruben Loftus-Cheek for a Chelsea comeback

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been one very unlucky football player so far in his short career, suffering a major confidence knocking achilles injury just when he was really hitting some great form and showing his full potential. I remember the 2018 World Cup and England getting to the semi-finals. Loftus-Cheek was England’s most exciting and creative […]

Chelsea neck and neck with Liverpool behind Man City as Premier League title favourites

The attention of the world is on the European Championships, but in the background the Premier League is taking shape for next season.

Poll Results: These Chelsea fans chose Hakimi backup plan out of Traore, Hudson-Odoi, or Livramento

If you haven’t been invested in the Achraf Hakimi saga over the last few weeks, then well done you! Unfortunately I, plus many other Chelsea fans, have been closely watching the developments of this, regardless of whether we need the player or not. What actually happened with Chelsea and the race for Hakimi, all is […]

Opinion: Chelsea don’t need Traore if they cannot land Hakimi, they have Livramento

Listen, as the news breaks that it is actually PSG who are closing in on signing Achraf Hakimi this summer, after last week it being Chelsea who were closing in, I’m here to tell you we do not need to go for a Plan B on this. I was actually for signing Hakimi, because I […]

Opinion: I hate to get political but Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell have been unfairly robbed

Politics do not belong in football, but unfortunately in this day and age they are forever playing a massive part and getting involved. Whilst I always prefer to keep my political opinions away from my football opinions, Public Health England and the English FA have forced me to voice my disgruntlement at what appears to […]

Opinion: Jorginho continues to prove some Chelsea fans wrong as he bosses it for Italy in the Euros

For Italian supporters, seeing Jorginho boss the midfield in the Euros is nothing new for them. In fact, I know many Italian Chelsea fans who have never quite been able to grasp why Jorginho gets so much criticism from some Chelsea fans. As an English Chelsea fan, I can try and explain why some don’t […]

Opinion: I still cannot understand why Tomori had a £25m buy option

Today we say farewell to a Chelsea player who grew up supporting and playing for the club from a very young age, a player from the same youth setup as the likes of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham. I’m not naïve enough to think that every young player in Chelsea’s academy is going to make […]

The Premier League have announced the fixture lists for next season at 9am this morning, as fans and clubs awaited to hear their fate. Chelsea are home to Crystal Palace on the opening day in August, which will be a nice pleasant return to Stamford Bridge. Or will it..? A certain Frank Lampard has been […]

Opinion: Big decisions for Chelsea as 6 high profile loanees return to the club

Not only are Chelsea expected to be busy in the transfer market this summer in terms of player pursuits, they will arguably be even busier in sorting out the next moves of a number of returning loan players and fringe players. It’s easy to forget that Chelsea have regular USA international Matt Miazga still in […]

Very soon we will not be needing to write these articles, letting everyone know just how good Mason Mount is and defending him from his critics, who are very few and far between now.

Opinion: Callum Hudson-Odoi must play on the left to succeed, even if that’s LWB cover

I feel as though this next season will be make or break for Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea, and yes I am aware of the rumours linking him away this summer. Whilst this can never be ruled out, it is clear that Hudson-Odoi wants to stay and make it at his boyhood club, but to do […]

Opinion: Chelsea should save on a centre back to fork out for Erling Haaland

Now I know exactly what you are thinking here, ‘you have been a strong advocate for Chelsea bringing in a new centre back this summer’, and you’re correct, I have been. However, over time I have realised that a new centre back is much lower down the list of our priorities than a new striker. […]

Opinion: We should not rule out certain academy players making Thomas Tuchel’s plans next season

Chelsea have one of the best youth football academies in the world, and it is no wonder that a handful of them just won the Champions League before they’ve barely hit their early 20s. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has invested a lot of time and a lot of money into our youth academy, and he […]

Out of all the names of Chelsea loanees and youngsters coming up through the ranks, one who is not often mentioned or hyped up is Trevoh Chalobah, the brother of former Blue, Nathaniel. The latter didn’t make it at Chelsea unfortunately, but there was always this belief that Trevoh had that bit more about him […]

Mason Mount is now not only finally being accepted and recognised as a top class player by his own clubs fanbase, he is now being recognised by the world wide footballing community and getting the plaudits he deserves.
