Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a horribly familiar defeat to Nottingham Forest. We discuss failing to finish AGAIN - although Chelsea played ok with creative intent, forward momentum, movement which is a change from last season, and Forest defended very well. Sterling was relatively poor and Gusto needs to learn how to cross; Jackson had a poor game but will get better or is he the new Salomon Kalou? We look at Pochettino's selection - he is play...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at the win against Wimbledon and ahead to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. In part one we are joined by Liam Twomey from The Athletic to look back at Wednesday nights 2-1 win in the Carabao Cup over AFC Wimbledon. A banana skin was avoided as Chelsea made relatively hard work of beating League 2 side Wimbledon proving that making changes doesn’t work and possibly revealing a lack of squad depth. Enzo and the big guns came...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at an encouraging 3-0 win against Luton Town. In part one: Sterling was superb – has he turned a corner? Chelsea are making progress but there's still room for improvement. All the goals were good goals; quick transitions and attacking play; no stodge, but we went flat either side of half time. Jackson gets off the mark – massively important. Enzo shows his class; Caicedo channels his inner Kante. Conor excellent again – l...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to preview Chelsea v Luton. In part one Chidge, JK and Clayton catch up on the latest Chelsea news including Poch’s Presser, Chuk injury latest and what’s going on with the Keeper’s. We also look the transfer window with one week to go and with Chelsea increasing the cost of coaches to away games, is this another sign of penny pinching by the club? In part two we look ahead to Friday night's match against Luton Town. Chidge gives ...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back on muggy 3-1 defeat away to West Ham. In part one we discuss another poor start, a great goal by Chukwuemeka and a poor penalty from Enzo, which arguably turned the match. Why didn't Jackson take it? And then a comedy of errors from Disasi and Colwill led to an Antonio scorcher which turned it in West Ham's favour. In part two we discuss whether Mudryk is being weighed down by expectations. Sterling gets the plaudits f...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to preview West Ham v Chelsea. In part one we round up the Chelsea news including: Reece James injured again; Caicedo get’s Zola’s shirt - do we care? And Lewis Hall off to Newcastle? Are we sacrificing the youth for profit? In part two we have the Opposition View with James Jones from 'We Are West Ham'. We discuss how good did it feel for West Ham to win a European trophy? How did James feel about Rice leaving for Arsenal? Can and...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman for the first Monday night show of the season for a look back at the 1-1 draw against Liverpool. In part one, we discuss MoPo's 3:4:2:1 curve ball and some encouraging performances from Enzo, Conor, Wing Commander, Jackson and Disasi. In part two we ask does Sterling need to up his game or ship out? Is Mudryk a better option? Is Chuk really the number 10 option? How did Sanchez do? And with Kepa loaned to Madrid we ask why not a s...
Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd & Mark Meehan are back for the new season kicking off with Chelsea v Liverpool this Sunday. In part one we are joined by Liam Twomey from The Athletic to try and make sense of what's happening with the potential transfer of Moises Caicedo. Yeh, good luck with that. We also get Liam's thoughts on the still relatively new Clearlake regime aka Boehlywood. In part two we welcome back 'The Opposition View' and football writer Tony Evans. Tony gives us the view from ...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are back for the new season and are joined by Tony Glover to discuss the pre-season, the transfers to date and look ahead to the new season. In part one we discuss Chelsea's pre-season tour of the USA. How did our Pre-season go? Who impressed? Who disappointed? Do we have an idea of MoPo’s starting 11? In part two we take a look at Chelsea's transfer business to date. We look at the outgoings and incomings. Is there business yet to do and has it been a good wi...

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd, Tony Glover and Dean Mears gather for the last live show of the season where we try to make sense of one of Chelsea's worst seasons. Dean kicks the show off with the results of our pre-season predictions - even more humiliating than Chelsea's on pitch performances! We review the season looking at Player of the Season; breaktrhough player of the season, goal of the season, best and worst match and result and we rate the players, management and season itself. We wra...
Stamford Chidge interviews Chelsea author Neil Fitzsimon about his new book 'Rebirth of the Blues'. Having chronicled Chelsea's 1970 FA Cup winning side in 'Rhapsody in Blue' and Eddie McCreadie's promotion side in 'A Deeper Shade of Blue', Neil has turned his sights to the period between 1977-1985. One of the nost turbulent periods in Chelsea's history, it was a period when Chelsea narrowly escaped relegation into the Third Division in 1983, before being resurrected under the management of John...
Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd (from his hospital bed!), Clayton Beerman and Dayne Whittle to review the last match of the season against Newcastle. And breathe. Yes, Chelsea's worst season for nearly 30 years is finally consigned to the dustbin where it belongs. We look back at the last match against Newcastle, where Chelsea did ok against a Newcastle side clearly sipping cocktails on the beach. The usual profligacy in front of goal by Chelsea; why break the cycle eh lads? Of more i...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd look back at another painfuil Chelsea defeat, away to Man Utd and ahead to the last match of the season at home to Newcastle Utd. In part one we discuss a better 1st half performance but Keystone Kop defending and inability to finish kill us again. Midfield looked better – well done Chuk and Hall impressed again, but in defence, Fofana instigated the collapse in the second half with two poor mistakes. At least Felix scored a good consolation goal. Are there pa...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at surprisingly unsurprising defeat away to Man City and ahead to Man Utd this week. In part one Franks team changes beg more questions: is Frank under orders, down to the bare bones or just clueless? More Keystone Kops defending cost us again. In fairness, we didn’t play too badly as in we didn’t get hammered!! But its not really good enough, is it? And why having been held back from the England U20 squad did Chukwuemeke...
Stamford Chidge is joined by Martin Wickham and Tony Glover to discuss the latest Chelsea news and preview Sunday's match against Man City. In part one we discuss whether Chelsea should make a bid for Brentford striker Ivan Toney and whether Ruben Loftus-Cheek to AC Milan would be a good move for club and player. With Mental Health Week upon us, we discuss the Chelsea Supporters' Trust mental health iniative 'Over The Line' and how the Club is helping to make supporters aware of it. We also take...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a frustrating draw to relegation threatened Nottingham Forest and discuss the imminent arrival of Mauricio Pochettino. In part one we discuss another poor team selection by Frank Lampard. Is he the new tinkerman or is he being told who to pick? Lampard's assessment of Chelsea being "too slow, too sideways, too safe" was spot on but is this a legacy of previous managers desire to have possession for possessions sake?...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to discuss the latest Chelsea news and look ahead to Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest. In part one we round up the latest Chelsea news including Frank’s presser with updates on the injuries to Chilwell; Mount; Cucurella; KK and Fofana. With Lewis Hall kept back from the England U20 squad, will Frank pick him on Saturday? Kante looks set to stay while Silva may be off - what do we think? And we welcome the price freeze on...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at that rarest of things - a Chelsea win, against Bournemouth! In part one we discuss the benefits of getting team selection right and scoring first and early. Gallagher and Mudueke both put in good performances and Badiashile stepped up and even the subs (Sterling, Felix and Ziyech) made an impact. In part two we wonder if the injury to Chilwell might open a door for Lewis Hall and we like the away fans, we are delighted ...
With Jonathan Kydd away this week, Stamford Chidge is joined by 'The Smut Buddies', Tony Glover and Alex Churchill to look back at a pathetic defeat to Arsenal and ahead to Saturday's match against Bournemouth. In part one we look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat away to Arsenal and ask Azpi why? Kova why? Sterling why? No Mudryk or Gallagher why? Yet again Chelsea showed No pressing, no effort, no responsibility in a shambolic performance. Raheem Sterling – what a waste of money! The return of Keys...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Martin Wickham and Mark Meehan for a special show to celebrate the 15th birthday of the Chelsea Fancast, oh and review Chelsea v Brentford and preview Arsenal v Chelsea... In part one we look back at another dismal defeat and no goals scored. This time at home to Brentford. Oh the humiliation. Another poor team selection by Frank saw the same old problems first half. Sterling what an overpaid xxxx. A typical own goal shooting us in...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at Chelsea's exit from the Champions' League and ahead to wednesday nights match against Brentford. In part one we look back at the seemingly inevitable defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions' League quarter final second leg. Frank's team selection seemed strange given we needed to score three goals and although we huffed and puffed, once Madrid scored it was all over. In truth Madrid didn't really need to get out of s...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at a poor defeat at home to Brighton and ahead to Real Madrid in the Champions' League. In part one we ask were there too many changes? Not enough continuity or were players rested for Real? Kepa was excellent but other than that there was no leadership, no spine, no attack, no energy and fitness and no hope. Meanwhile Brighton were everything we are not – aggressive one touch football; going forward quickly with end ...
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan and Chelsea Legend Kerry Dixon for a special FanCast live from the Chelsea Pensioner!! In part one we look back at the defeat to Real Madrid and ask fine margins or outclassed? It could have been worse but are we still in it? If we can’t score one, how will we score 3? In part two we are joined by our hosts for the evening, Daniel Jannou and Oscar Kalstrom from Chelsea Supporters Sweden, who have brought over 50 supporters from Sweden...
