The Kerry Dixon Show - Chelsea v Swansea Feb 23, 2017

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Kerry Dixon look back at Chelsea's FA Cup win against Wolves and look forward to the quarter-final tie against Man Utd. We also preview the match against Swansea coming up on Saturday.Kerry is very happy to see Costa on the score sheet again and feels that it will bode well for the title run in over the next 13 games. Conversely with Eden Hazard suffering from a dip in form, Kerry believes that he has too much quality to dweel there too long. Looking ahead to the FA Cup quarter-final against Man Utd, whilst not the ideal draw, being at home and with the tie sandwiched between a home and away Europa League Cup tie for Utd, should give Chelsea a small advantage and makes us favourites.Whilst Swansea will be no push overs with former Chelsea assistant manager Paul Clement having dramatically turned their recent form around, Kerry expects Chelsea to turn them over by a good 2-3 goals.Of course, if we do then we'll continue to keep the pressure on our rivals, three of whom are not...

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and ESPN's Chelsea correspondent, Liam Twomey to look back at Chelsea's victory over Wolves in the FA Cup.On the show tonight we ask why Chelsea were not hungry like the Wolves, do they not get how important the FA Cup is and what makes footballers sloppy? In part two we rename Pedro, ‘Pedro Osgood’ as the young Eli Wallach look-a-like kept up his record of scoring in every round in the Cup. Can he repeat the great Peter Osgood’s feat? And can Chelsea do the double…again?In part three, we discuss the next round where we host Man Utd and a certain former Manager. Will he park the bus or will we spank his botty…again!In part four we have some cracking emails from, appropriately, Kevin Costner and Luke Hatherley from Australia.

The Kerry Dixon Show - Wolves v Chelsea Feb 17, 2017

Show notes

Kerry Dixon looks back at the match against Burnley last weekend and previews Saturday's FA Cup 5th round tie against old foes Wolves.Kerry discusses the merits of a hard fought draw against Burnley; questions how long Luiz can keep playing through injury and tells us why we shouldn't panic about Diego Costa's recent goal 'drought'.Looking ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wolves, Kerry predicts that this will be a proper old fashioned tie with the home side and their fans well up for it. Kerry believes that Conte will not take Wolves lightly and whichever side he picks should be strong enough to see Chelsea through to the next round. Hopefully another trip to Wembley beckons.

Grim Oop North! Chelsea FanCast #377 Feb 13, 2017

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman and Mark Worrall to look back at yesterdays trip oop North to Ice Station Zebra where Chelsea tuffed out a 1-1 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor. We also look ahead to next weekend's FA Cup 5th round tie against Wolves which will evoke memories of fixtures past against the boys from the black country.On the show tonight we explain why its most definitely grim oop north when playing football in Burnley but a draw was not quite the disaster that many thought it was. In part two we indulge in the great Matic v Fabregas debate. Is it fair to point the finger at one Matic? Should Fabregas get a chance to wave his magic hat? How do we accommodate one or both of them or should we leave it all to someone who actually knows his onions – Signor Antonio Conte?In part three, we look ahead to the FA Cup 5th round match against the Wolves on Saturday. Can we start dreaming of the quarters or even a FA Cup & League double? We’ll also recall some infamous...

The Kerry Dixon Show - Burnley v Chelsea Feb 09, 2017

Show notes

Kerry Dixon gives us his thoughts on last week's decisive victory against Arsenal plus a look ahead to the game against Burnley this Sunday.Chidge and Kerry applaud a great Eden Hazard performance and ask was it better than Maradona's goal against England in 1986 (a goal Kerry witnessed first hand in the Azteca stadium!). We also praise the phenomenal performances of Kante of late and discuss whether Chelsea have knocked Arsenal out of the title race.Picking up on the Chelsea news this week, we discuss whether Courtois may leave Chelsea in the summer and would Lukaku be a suitable replacement for Costa if he takes the slow boat to China?Looking ahead to Burnley at the weekend Kerry warns against complacency especially against a tough physical Burnley side cast in the image of their husky voiced manager Sean Dyche. But what will Kerry predict as the scoreline, and will Chidge get his prediction spot on like he did against Arsenal?All this plus a treat for Kerry with a blast from a past Arsenal...

'Arse-wipes!' Chelsea FanCast #376 Feb 07, 2017

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Tony Glover and Alex Churchill to bask in yet another spanking of the Arse.On the show tonight we celebrate one of the best goals I’ve seen at the Bridge, we marvel at the phenomenon that is N’Golo Kante and cry foul at Arsene Wenger, crying foul. In part two we salute Courtois – but can we keep him? We explore what is wrong with Arsenal and in particular their fans – should we thank them for the entertainment or refer them for psychiatric help? And we’ll ask is it all over bar the shouting and what are the trickiest matches we have coming up?In part three, we look back at the draw against Liverpool last Tuesday – applaud Luiz’s free-kick and ask was it 2 points dropped or one point gained. We’ll also give our very own tribute to Sir Frank of Lampard who announced his retirement last week.In part four we have some unbelievable emails from Alan Gavurin; Julian Spranger; Barrett DuPerron; Paul Marjoram and Annely Press. At least two of them might well make...

The Kerry Dixon Show - Chelsea v Arsenal Feb 02, 2017

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea Legend, Kerry Dixon to discuss the draw in midweek against Liverpool and look ahead to this Saturday's crucial match against Arsenal.Chidge & Kerry talk about the draw against Liverpool and feel that it was definitely a case of a point gained rather than two dropped, especially thanks to our nearest rivals all dropping points. While for Chidge, Kante and Luiz were the stand out players, Kerry applauded the team effort and was particularly impressed with Luiz's free-kick.Turning to Arsenal this weekend, Kerry gives us his views on Arsene Wenger and whether it will make any difference with him not being on the bench; will Arsenal be keen to bounce back after their defeat against Watford or will Chelsea be more keen to put to rights their defeat at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the season.With concerns raised about the current fitness of David Luiz and Eden Hazard, Kerry believes that it might be affecting Hazard more, and if so its better to have players 100% fit...

The Kerry Dixon Show - Chelsea v Brentford Jan 26, 2017

Show notes

Kerry Dixon joins Stamford Chidge to look back at the win against Hull and preview the FA Cup tie v Brentford and the massive match against Liverpool next Tuesday.Kerry and Chidge admit the win against Hull was much tougher than they thought, but after all, these are the wins you have to grind out if you want to win the title. Thank goodness for Diego Costa who again scored the crucial goal and seems to have his head back in the game. Another who's head appears to be back in the game is Courtois and his performances this season are contributing hugely to Chelsea's defensive solidity and success. Kerry believes that if he keeps this up he will undoubtedly be the best goalkeeper in the world. Let's hope Chelsea can keep hold of him!With Eden Hazard going off after 60 minutes against Hull, Chidge and Kerry wonder whether he needs to toughen up mentally as well as physically in order to gain the consistency he needs to be one of the best players in the world.Turning to the Brentford FA Cup tie, Kerry...
