The Kerry Dixon Show - Chelsea v Cardiff Sep 13, 2018

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon for their weekly round up on all things Chelsea and a look ahead to Chelsea v Cardiff on Saturday!

Chidge & Kerry compare the performances of Ethan Ampadu and Ruben Loftus Cheek and ask whether Ampadu is ready for Chelsea now and if the pressure and criticism of Loftus Cheek is fair.

Looking ahead to the Chelsea v Cardiff match on Saturday Chidge asks Kerry whether he would start Giroud up front or Morata.

With Cardiff likely to play a physical game would it not be better to play Giroud?

Kerry gives his views on Neil Warnock and how he sets his sides up and reflects on the fact that Warnock nearly became Chelsea manager when Kerry was at the club. Will Warnock set out to target Hazard and we discuss the lack of an 'enforcer' in the Chelsea team. Kerry remembers some Chelsea 'enforcers' of his time at the Club.

Finally, Kerry let's us know how he thinks the match will play out and the score prediction.

The Kerry Dixon Show - 4 out of 4! Sep 06, 2018

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon for their weekly round up on all things Chelsea!

Chidge & Kerry discuss the merits of wearing teams down and coming up with late winners after Chelsea's fourth win out of four against Bournemouth last Saturday.

In spite of Chelsea's 100% record so far, it is clearly a work in progress and there remain concerns about the strikers, with neither Morata or Giroud setting the world on fire. Who better to pass judgement on Chelsea's strikers than Kerry - a man who scored 193 goals for the club.

The good seems to outweigh the bad for Sarri's start as Chelsea manager and Kerry applauds the start to the season and the performances of Hazard, Alonso and Jorginho in particular.

Kerry wishes his former colleague Pat Nevin a happy 54th birthday and explains just how good Wee Pat was and how important he was for the club during the 1980's. And talking of 80's partnerships, Kerry announces a special event with his old striking partner, David Speedie, in October this year.

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Mark Worrall and Liam Twomey from ESPN to look back at Chelsea's win against Bournemouth, their fourth win out of four in the Premier League.

On the show tonight we’ll be discussing how Sarri’s logical substitutions made the difference in a hard fought patient win against the Cherries and how important is Pedro’s influence in all of this?

In part two we look at the Morata v Giroud debate. Is it time for the big beardy Frenchie to start? Is Marcos Alonso the best left back in Europe? Is Antonio Rudiger ‘Der Panzer” and with 4 wins out of 4 is it all too good to be true? What is the good and bad of Sarri’s season so far.

In part three, we have emails for Jonathan to read out on Marcos Alonso and how to fix our defence; plus questions from the mixlr listeners.

In part four we have a roundup of Chelsea supporter news and look forward to some Days in Europa.

'Art For Arts Sake' Chelsea FanCast 431 Aug 28, 2018

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Joe Tweedie and ESPN's Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey to look back at Chelsea's patient victory against Newcastle and discuss all things Chelsea.

On the show tonight we’ll be discussing whether passing for the sake of it is a thing of beauty or a frustration and should Chelsea have been more penetrative against Newcastle.

In part two we ask should referees do more to act against the cynical fouling of Eden Hazard and in a tale of two haircuts we fall more deeply in love with Marcos Alonso and worry about David Luiz’s momentary lapse of concentration and we have a look ahead to the Europa League draw on Friday.

In part three, we have emails for Jonathan to read out on Marcos Alonso; who Chelsea’s back four should be; foreign opposition to PL games being played abroad and Stamford Chidge being spotted on NBC sports this weekend; plus questions from the mixlr listeners.

The Kerry Dixon Show - Newcastle away Aug 23, 2018

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon to pick up from last weekend's victory over Arsenal and look ahead to Sunday's match against Newcastle.

Kerry and Chidge ponder the exciting start to Chelsea's season but err on the side of patience as to where it might take the side with question marks about the defence. Morata's goal will do wonders for his confidence but it was Alonso and Hazard's cameo which caught the eye. Chidge asks what does Chelsea need to do to keep Eden Hazard - perhaps making him Captain?

Looking ahead to Newcastle on Sunday, they have been something of a bogey side for the Blues with our last win at St James' Park coming in 2011.

Hopefully Hazard will start in what Kerry expects to be much the same team selected for the Arsenal match. Chidge makes the case for Kovacic starting in place of Barkley while conceding that the latter has made a good start to the season.

Either way Chidge and Kerry feel Chelsea will have enough to dispatch the Geordies.
