'Disintegration!' Chelsea FanCast #351 Apr 18, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Chelsea author and ESPN blogger Mark Worrall and the 'Reverend' Tony Glover to discuss the shambles that was the 3-0 defeat to Man City on Saturday.Another Saturday, another top day in the pubs before and after interrupted by a very poor 90 minutes of football. To be honest I thought we’d probably lose to City but the shambolic and passionless way in which we lost was depressing even by this horrible season’s standard. As a Chelsea supporter you can accept it when your team has no talent or if the opposition is just better than you but what you cannot accept are players with talent who show no passion, fight or seem not to care for the club or the supporters. The way their heads dropped when the second goal went in and they succumbed to the inevitability of it all and basically gave up was just so so depressing.On the show tonight we’ll be asking why we were so shambolic and should Hiddink take some of the blame? In part two we’ll be assessing Ruben...

'Breaking Me Duck!' Chelsea FanCast #349 Apr 04, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and the man who made Gate 17 famous - Mark Worrall - to discuss Chelsea's win against Villa and all things Chelsea!So the duck finally made his debut against Villa on Saturday and the Chelsea faithful went quackers – first chanting “we forgot that you were here” and then after he scored his debut goal from the spot “we were there when Pato scored” – it was great to see that he didn’t duck out of the challenge and prove finally that he is more mighty duck than lame duck. I’m going to stop this now before you lot tell me to duck off!On the show tonight we’ll be talking about Pato’s debut and asking does he have a future at Chelsea, and talking of Chelsea’s future it was good to finally see some of the yoof getting a chance.In part two we’ll ask should we have sympathy for the Villains and what’s left to play for this season.In part three, we’ll be saying Announce Conte; asking what’s up with the Belgians and we’ll be bidding a sad...

'Reality Bites!' Chelsea FanCast #347 Mar 14, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Dan Silver, Clayton Beerman and Chelsea author and football writer Mark Worrall to digest a somewhat depressing week for Chelsea. It’s hard to remember a worse week in recent times following Chelsea as we limply exited both the Champions League and the FA Cup. All this seemed to be compounded by Costa apparently being sent off for biting Everton’s Gareth Barry – whilst all of us can understand the desire to do Barry serious injury, thankfully Costa pulled his chompers away at the last second thereby avoiding a dreaded Luis Suarez scenario. In reality the only thing to bite was the realization that these two defeats mean that our season is over by March for the first time since the 90’s and an uncertain future awaits the club, players and supporters alike. On the show tonight we’ll be discussing what the Cost of Costa is to the club - is he a liability worth putting up with and with Lukaku scoring twice to put us out of the Cup – should the Chelsea brains trust be...

'Naughty 40!' Chelsea FanCast #346 Mar 07, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and the 'Reverend' Tony Glover from the Podding Shed Podcast to discuss Chelsea's matches against Stoke and Norwich. Yep that’s right Chelsea have reached the points tally of 40 which means we have avoided relegation this year…probably. Joking aside, it was a disappointing week in hindsight as we clung on to win 2-1 away at Norwich and then snatched a draw from the jaws of victory at home against Stoke on Saturday, thus ending our 3 match winning streak. Were Guus Hiddink’s substitutions in both games at fault or are the players still not firing on all cylinders, or is the crazy old Dutchman merely prioritizing wins in the Champions League and FA Cup. On the show tonight we’ll be discussing what went wrong with the substitutions against Norwich and Stoke and asking has the team progressed under Guus and has the Dutchman given us false hope? In part two we’ll be asking if Guus is prioritizing the Champions League and FA Cup at the...

'Brana-nised!' Chelsea FanCast #345 Feb 29, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Silver and Clayton Beerman to discuss Chelsea's win against Southampton and all things Chelsea! I don’t know what it is about Southampton away, but it certainly seems to be a big favourite of so many Chelsea supporters, myself included. Nothing quite like the irony of an away day that is just down the road. Great day out, loads of mates, a decent friendly pub and cheap beer. What’s not to like! It seemed to appeal to Chelsea as well as they battled through a poor performance to grind out a win against a side that had not shipped a goal or lost in 6 games. Maybe like the mellifluous water of the Rivers Itchen and Test, the tide for Chelsea is turning. On the show tonight we’ll be discussing the apparent return of Chelsea’s mental strength; applauding an important win and asking was Guus too ruthless in hooking Baba off? In part two we’ll be asking if the likes of Fabregas and Brana have really shaken off their poor early season form and is Guus...

'Citizens Caned!' Chelsea FanCast #344 Feb 23, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Ross Mooring and Tim Rolls, Chairman of the Chelsea Supporters Trust to discuss the games against Man City and PSG.Chelsea gave City’s youth a spanking with 5 of the best on Sunday to march onward to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, which for most supporters I know is still massive. Sadly the TV, the FA and most of all clubs like Man City seem to disagree. In fielding what was tantamount to a youth side, City basically threw the tie and in my opinion hugely disrespected the tradition of the greatest cup competition in world football. And they call us a plastic club with no history! Anyway, Eden Hazard wasn’t complaining and put in a performance redolent of last season with 3 assists and a superb goal. But is the little Belgian as happy as a Trappist monk after a night on the ale or is it all waffle?On the show tonight we’ll be discussing why the FA Cup needs to be respected and its traditions upheld and has Eden Hazard finally found his mojo?In part...

'Who Ate All The Magpies?' Chelsea FanCast #343 Feb 15, 2016

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Dan Levene and Mark Worrall to discuss the destruction of Newcastle on Saturday and a look ahead to the games against PSG and City.Love was most definitely in the air on Saturday as we enjoyed one of the best days of this doom laden season. For once the excellent pre and post-match was matched on the pitch as Chelsea romped home to an easy 5-1 win against Newcastle. But, were we really that good or were Newcastle quite simply abject? Has the Chelsea juggernaut turned round or will we be talking about our season being over on next week’s show. Maybe we should just enjoy the moment, like the first body tingling kiss of a new and exciting relationship.On the show tonight we’ll be asking was this a good win for Chelsea or were Newcastle just easy pickings and while the front three maybe firing on all cylinders do we still have an issue in midfield?In part two we’ll be asking who should play in the number 10 role for Chelsea – Fabregas; Hazard; Willian or...
