Chelsea’s hat-trick history – who writes the next chapter?

There have been some fantastic hat-trick tales written at Chelsea down the years. From Samuel Eto'o, to Eden Hazard and Frank Lampard, some of the modern Chelsea greats have created some amazing memories. But long before that, there were prolific goalscorers wearing the famous blue and banging in hat-tricks left, right and centre. Anytime we […]

Opinion: Cesc Fabregas spot on with his Chelsea forecast

Not all footballers have it believe it or not, that natural football intelligence, just knowing the game inside and out. We see it when some players go into punditry and really start spouting off some absolutely wild takes on certain things. You often sit there wondering whether they actually played the game at all, let […]

Opinion: Results will come at Chelsea after clear improvements

Raheem Sterling has been good in the last two games, particularly against West Ham on Sunday. If he can continue with this form then we will be enjoying the best of Sterling again. But just as I’m not going to over react to poor performances at this stage, I’m also not going to over react […]

Opinion: What Chelsea still ideally need to do in the market

Come this Saturday we will be just a week away from the transfer window closing and a long summer transfer window will be all over. Chelsea still have some business to do, and quite a bit of it really when you add in the more outgoings that really need to be pushed through. So with […]

Opinion: West Ham v Chelsea: Debut for Caicedo but Lavia likely off bench

Chelsea have another game on a Sunday afternoon, and this time we face our London neighbours West Ham United. So Chelsea play away from home at West Ham this coming Sunday at 4.30pm UK time. The game will be live on Sky Sports in the UK. West Ham drew their opening game 1-1 against Bournemouth […]

Opinion: After years of neglect, Chelsea have a midfield to be reckoned with

Once Chelsea confirm the Romeo Lavia signing they will have assembled on of the best midfields in world football in the space of two transfer windows. For years this area of the pitch has been neglected by the club. Chelsea have not had a true defensive midfielder since Nemanja Matic, and he left our club […]

Opinion: Chelsea and Poch seemingly knew all along Kepa isn’t good enough

This is not a Kepa Arrizabalaga bashing article, I’ve never been about that with him. I respect him as a player and I actually respect how he has been during his time with us. Despite losing his number one spot we never saw him complain and we never saw him go to the media and […]

Opinion: Mauricio Pochettino likely to change formation if he lands targets

I was very surprised to see Mauricio Pochettino start with a back three against Liverpool on Sunday, very surprised. This is because he has been largely training with a back four and then going through an unbeaten pre-season using a back four. His preferred formation throughout his managerial career has always been the 4-2-3-1. I […]

Opinion: Chelsea going into PL opener with current squad is far from ideal

I have to admit that I am pretty disappointed that it is now looking increasingly likely that Chelsea will not have signed a new defensive midfielder before the Liverpool game. I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt due to knowing how complex the deal to sign Moises Caicedo has been, and still […]

Opinion: Chelsea continue to be linked with Neymar, but the reality is probably quite different

Chelsea will continue to be linked to players like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, especially when reports come out that both players want to leave their clubs. I predicted that we will hear Chelsea’s name linked to Neymar earlier this week when news came out about him wanting to leave. And as if by clockwork, around […]

Opinion: Pochettino has biggest Chelsea decision to make ahead of Liverpool

The captain debate is a really interesting one, but this weekend we will see a conclusion on this and who Mauricio Pochettino picks as his new permanent Chelsea captain, and the vice. It’s obviously going to be a massive decision for Poch, probably one of the biggest he will make at the club. There are […]

Opinion: Why a Vlahovic/Lukaku swap deal makes sense for Chelsea

Chelsea reportedly remain in talks with Juventus regarding a Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic swap deal at the time of writing. Lukaku seemingly wants to join Juventus and reports suggest that he's even agreed personal terms to go there. But Chelsea and Juventus now just need to agree the deal. The fee that Juventus are […]

Opinion: Robert Sanchez to Chelsea – Not ideal but wrong to write him off

Chelsea’s move to sign Robert Sanchez really developed earlier this week, and it’s caused a stir I think it is safe to say. Look, it’s FAR from ideal, I know that. I have been very vocal in saying we need a new number one and I maintain it will be a massive mistake if we […]
