'The Masked Avenger!' Chelsea FanCast #315 Apr 13, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Dr Mart and Dan Silver to discuss the dogged last minute win against the embarrassing neighbours QPR.A horrible game but a great result best sums up Chelsea’s win in the Loftus Road toilet bowl. To be fair QPR made it tough for Chelsea with a bobbly pitch and their bobbly headed fans. But all the coin and bottle throwing couldn’t deny Chelsea another three points as they continue the march to the title. As for QPR, all their frothing at the mouth every time a Chelsea player touched the ball can’t hide the fact that they are and always have been a championship club and forever in Chelsea’s shadow. How can you put tickets for the biggest game of your season on General sale, and remember they only have a capacity of 18,000. West London is there’s? 10 blokes from Acton are you fucking sure? Good riddance to bad rubbish.On the show tonight we’ll be kicking off with the ratings for the QPR game, awarding our man of the match and talking about Oscar, Hazard and Courtois....

'We've Got The Remy-dy!' Chelsea FanCast #314 Apr 06, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Chelsea journalist Dan Levene and Chelsea FanCast writer Clayton Beerman to discuss the win against Stoke, Costa's hamstring, Charlie Adams' goal, Matthew Harding's Blue & White Army and Hazard's brilliance.Another dogged win against Stoke which brings Chelsea 3 points nearer the title. 5 more wins and a draw will win it, but it’s clearly going to be hard going and nothing can be taken for granted. Of course it might be so much easier if Chelsea could finish the plethora of chances they create. Will Costa’s hamstring injury make this even harder in the next 8 matches or do we have the Remy-dy? Only time will tell.On the show tonight we’ll be kicking off with the ratings for the Stoke game, awarding our man of the match and talking about Costa, Hazard and Courtois. After all that we’ll be asking where has Oscar gone; applauding Matthew Harding’s Blue and White army; are we worried about Arsenal and ponder where and if Cech might be going in the summer....

"To Hull and Back!" Chelsea FanCast #313 Mar 24, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Dr Mart and Dan Silver to discuss the nervy win against Hull and ask why do Chelsea have to make hard work of it; is it time for Zouma to start ahead of Cahill and should Remy get more game time. We also debunk the myth that it's Chelsea's fault for English club's failure in Europe!Blimey, Chelsea don’t make it easy on us do they. Two superb goals put us 2-0 against Hull inside 10 minutes only for some Keystone Cops defending to let Hull back in to make it 2-2. On another day we might not have got away with it but thankfully the boys in blue showed some character and Remy the forgotten man came on and scored the winner with his first touch to bring home all three points. We now need 19 points from our last 9 games and as Eden Hazard said it will be like 9 cup finals. Something tells me that it won’t be good for the old ticker, but that’s Chelsea isn’t it!On the show tonight we kick off with the player ratings for the Hull game and then ask is it time for Zouma to take...

Hysteria! Chelsea FanCast #312 Mar 16, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge returns after a break together with Dr Mart and Dan Silver for the resurrection of the 'old skool' Chelsea FanCast podcast. Chelsea FanCast TV is dead - Long live the Chelsea FanCast Podcast!!A funny old week at Chelsea – we go out rather limply on to 10 men on away goals to PSG in the Champions League and we fail to take advantage of another City slip up by only managing a draw at home to Southampton. Yes, it could have been much better, but why the hysteria? We were only a few minutes away from getting to the Champions League quarter finals and we have now extended our lead at the top of the table to 6 points with a game in hand. I think a healthy dose of Chidge perspective is needed on the show tonight, and by the way it is very good to be back I hope you missed me as much as I missed you!As some of you may know, we will no longer be doing the Chelsea FanCast as a TV show at Sports Tonight Live which means we are returning to our roots as a podcast, coming at you live and direct...

"30-33-43-69" The Chelsea FanCast #311 Feb 23, 2015

Show notes

Jonathan Kydd is joined by Dr Mart, Darren Mantle and FFP expert Jake Cohen to discuss the appalling refereeing by Martin Atkinson which cost us all three points in the draw against Burnley; the rearguard draw against PSG; the Paris Metro racism incident and a discussion about what FFP entails for Chelsea.Former Referee's Chief Keith Hackett described Martin Atkinson's performance as arguably one of the worst in Premier League history, and who are we to argue. Two penalty claims; no punishment for a nasty foul on Brana Ivanovic and worse no punishment for a potentially career ending challenge on Nemanja Matic, who got sent off in reward for understandably reacting. Whilst Chelsea were not at the best, and should have put the game to bed long before, there's no doubt that Atkinson cost us all three points.Was the 1-1 draw with PSG a good result and a classic Jose Mourinho European away leg? And just how thankful should we be for the world class performance from Thibeaut Courtois. And how on earth...

Willian It Was Really One Nothing! Chelsea FanCast #310 Feb 17, 2015

Show notes

Jonathan Kydd is joined by Mail Online's Charlie Skillen and season ticket holders Dr Mart, Dan Silver and Andy Silverman to discuss the last gasp win against Everton which keeps the Blues 7 points clear of Man City and look forward to tonight’s Champions League match against PSG in Paris.A tense and often frustrating night at the Bridge last Wednesday ended up with the right result thanks to Willian’s late winner and kept Chelsea’s lead over Man City to a healthy 7 points. Just how big was this win in the context of the title race and how did Juan Cuadrado do on his home debut?The boys look at the media meltdown following the melee between the Everton and Chelsea players and ask was Brana Ivanovic unfairly accused of a head butt and bite on James McCarthy – something for which the FA later exonerated him from? Attention is then turned to the ‘Fannies’ – the match awards for Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments for the Everton game.The PSG match tonight is previewed...

'Brana To The Rescue!' Chelsea FanCast #309 Feb 10, 2015

Show notes

Jonathan Kydd is joined by Mail On-Line journalist and Chelsea supporter Charlie Skillen and season ticket holders Dan Silver, Andy Silverman and The Gaffer to discuss Chelsea's win against Aston Villa.Was the performance really that poor, and surely points are more important than performance at this stage of the season? Have the referees got it in for Chelsea and is it part of a wider campaign against the team? Saturdays win against Villa threw up one or two good performances from the team and some lovely moments of skill. The supporters, all 3,000 of them played a blinder too and belted out a decent array of chants. The boys discuss these and award their choice for Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness Moment and Celery Moment.Often underrated but very much loved by Chelsea supporters, Brana Ivanovic rescued Chelsea with a superb goal. After the match Jose Mourinho heaped on the praise for our Lion hearted Serbian right back. The boys do likewise. And to wrap up, the boys discuss...

"If Kurt's Happy, We're Happy!" Chelsea FanCast #308 Feb 03, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea journalist Dan Levene and Season Ticket holders Dan Silver & Andy Silverman.Blimey, what a week – two full on proper games which mean we are at Wembley again and still have a 5 point gap between us and City. In the middle of all that our mate Costa gets a three game ban for apparently treading on a random Liverpool player and we got to say a proper thank you and farewell to a proper Chelsea legend. But most pleasing of all is the backs to the wall bloody minded performance against City having played 120 mins only a few days before, and the huge performances in both games by one Kurt Happy Zouma – the young Frenchman looks a real prospect. On the show tonight we’ll be kicking off with the ratings for the Man City game; awarding our man of the match and then asking was it 2 points dropped or 1 point gained; applauding the reception for Frank Lampard and asking who was the spanner with the banner? After all that we’ll looking back at last week’s second leg...

'Shocking!' Chelsea FanCast #307 Jan 27, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge, Sophie Rose, Charlie Skillen & Dr Mart discuss the FA Cup defeat against Bradford and ask what went wrong? Was the 'B' team simply not up to it or were we complacent. Does this defeat ask serious questions about the depth of the squad, its quality and Jose's ability to rotate it?We also look forward to the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool and ask did Chelsea get away with it last week? How do we see the game going tomorrow and what is Jose Mourinho up to with more veiled criticism of the Chelsea support last week.To wrap up Sophie opens the Chelsea FanCast email inbox and answers your questions in Sophie's Choice.The Chelsea Football FanCast: Shocking!
