'The Dynamic Duo!' Chelsea FanCast #359 Aug 22, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and Gate 17's finest - Mark Worrall, to discuss the late late show by Chelsea in their win against Watford. Chelsea left it late for the second game in a row this season snatching victory from the jaws of defeat courtesy of a debut goal from Batshuayi and Costa. It was déjà vu with Costa netting the winner having been lucky not get a second yellow and his marching orders, just like against West Ham. But do we care? Not a bit. Conte’s subs fitted like the natty cap he sported during the game, Fabregas patently making the difference with a superb pass for Costa’s goal. But it begs the question why not start with the dynamic duo up front and Fabregas behind? One thing is for certain, ‘Il Capo’ has a midfield conundrum to solve. On the show tonight we’ll be discussing the ‘dynamic duo’ of Costa and Batshuayi and asking why do I get all misty eyed about 4:4:2? Plus we’ve got the latest scores on the doors for Saturday’s FanDuel game. In part two...

'Ironed Out!' Chelsea FanCast #358 Aug 16, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Ross Mooring and Clayton Beerman to discuss Chelsea's season opening win against West Ham on Saturday... Chelsea kicked of their season last night with Diego Costa burying a late winner against West Ham London. Cue scenes, but most of all from new Manager Antonio Conte. How fantastic to see such passion from our manager – something evidently lacking from a certain individual last season. In some respects it was a case of déjà vu. Loads of chances created but not being clinical enough; Hazard back to his mercurial best; Costa misbehaving and incurring the wrath of a crazed media. But, so good to get off to a winning start. Ahh Chelsea and football…it’s good to have you back. On the show tonight we’ll be talking Costa – the good, the bad and the ugly and asking has Hazard got his mojo back? In part two we’ll be explaining how Kante brings balance to the force; celebrating Conte’s passion and pondering that we are not yet the finished article. In part...

Countdown to Ecstasy! Chelsea FanCast #357 Aug 08, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and Dan Levene to discuss Chelsea's final pre-season match against Werder Bremen and look ahead to the season opener against West Ham London! Chelsea wrapped up their pre-season with an up and down 4-2 win against Werder Bremen yesterday but what have we really learnt? Questions still remain, especially over the somewhat shaky defence – a defence that in all probability will start against West Ham. It seems that Emenalo needs to get his finger out and get a centre back, full back and striker wrapped up before the transfer deadline and give Conte the tools he needs to mount a successful title challenge… On the show tonight we’ll give our overview of Chelsea’s pre-season and the Werder Bremen match and discuss the enigma wrapped up in an enigma – that’s Oscar to you. In part two we’ll share our fears about the defence, ask what positions in the squad still need to be filled, look ahead to next week’s season opener against West Ham London and...

'Conte-nuity!' Chelsea FanCast #356 Aug 01, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Ross Mooring and Mark Worrall for the first podcast of the new season! WE ARE BACK - have you missed us? We’ve missed you and we are absolutely pumped for the new season which is almost exactly 2 weeks away. You’ll be glad to know that my pre-season drinking, sorry training, has been going very well so I am raring to go – a lean mean podcasting machine. And with new manager Antonio Conte appointed we are yet again at the dawning of a new era at Chelsea. What could possibly go wrong! On the show tonight we’ll be talking Conte and asking what can we expect from him; what system will he play and will he sort the shirkers of last season out? In part two we’ll have a look at Chelsea’s pre-season to date – is it relevant, is it just a fitness exercise at best or a blatant marketing exercise at worst? We’ll also be casting our eye over the transfers and rumors therein. In part three, we’ll look at the EFL trophy and the changed kick off days and read out...

'Thank Fox For That!' Chelsea FanCast #355 May 16, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver & Clayton Beerman for the last show of the season to talk about the Leicester & Liverpool games and the continuing saga around John Terry's contract...Like a 20 stone bloke completing a marathon, Chelsea limped to the end of the season with a 1-1 draw against the Champions. And finally, it’s over, this annus horribilis of a season. Hopefully we can wake up in August and pretend that it never happened. I for one wish the applauding of Leicester players and their goal had never happened – another poor indictment of modern football and its fans. All of this and John Terry’s emotive on-pitch speech to the fans – was it farewell or will we see him leading us out next season?On the show tonight we’ll be asking what the applauding of the Leicester players and their goal was all about and we’ll be looking at the JT saga with the offer of a new contract – a genuine attempt to keep him at the club or a cynical PR stunt?In part two we’ll have a look...

'This is the End?' Chelsea FanCast #354 May 09, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and Tony Glover to discuss the woeful loss against Sunderland and much much worse what looks like being the end for 'Captain, Leader, Legend' John Terry.As if this shithouse of a season wasn’t bad enough, losing to Sunderland after being 2-1 up was royally capped off by Captain Leader Legend JT being sent off in the last minute. His red card brings with it a 2 match ban thereby meaning that it might well be the last time we see JT in a Chelsea shirt. Is this the end for JT? If so what a horrible way to end the career of arguably Chelsea’s greatest ever player. If only the end of this shambles of a season could come quicker.On the show tonight we’ll be asking if this really is the end for JT and asking if he is Chelsea’s greatest ever player.In part two we’ll be asking why Guus ignored the youth again and has his 2nd tenure in charge been all that. We’ll discuss the massive job that Conte has on his hands – and will he actually be allowed to...

'55 Years...55 More!' Chelsea FanCast #353 May 03, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Chelsea writer Mark Worrall and Chelsea journalist Dan Levene to try and catch our breath after a visceral and cracking evening at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea kept their unbeaten home record intact and derailed Sp*rs title aspirations.Last night ably demonstrated why football is the greatest game in the world. From the depths of despair at half time to the resurrection in the second, the game crackled like a 10 pound firework. But most important of all Chelsea’s feckless team of malcontents and shirkers finally turned up when it mattered to ensure we kept our 26 year home unbeaten run intact and put a nail in the coffin of Sp*rs title aspirations whilst delivering the most improbable title of all to Leicester and our old gaffer Ranieri. What more could you want – blood, thunder and Eden Hazard - football bloody hell!On the show tonight we’ll be prostrating ourselves in front of Eden Hazard and offering eternal gratitude for keeping the North London Cocks...

'Oh We Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside!' Chelsea FanCast #352 Apr 25, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman and Tony Glover to discuss a great away trip to the seaside, oh and the small matter of a victory in a football match against the mighty Bournemouth! What a great away trip Bournemouth was – sun, sea and drinking with some great mates all day and for once the football didn’t get in the way of a good day out, with Chelsea cantering to a 4-1 win – or did they? In spite of the alcohol infused warm glow of victory, the nagging doubt remains that Bournemouth had their towel laid out on the sun lounger slightly ahead of Chelsea. Oh well at least Hazard scored for the first time in the league this season and the players were left with no doubt about the importance of beating Spurs next week. On the show tonight we’ll be asking why did Hiddink play Mikel at Centre Back and what happened to the youth players he was supposed to be playing. In part two I will attempt to have a reasoned debate about Fabregas – is he a flat track bully or...
