'Lambs To The Slaughter!' Chelsea FanCast #306 Jan 20, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge, Sophie Rose, Jonathan Kydd & Charlie Skillen discuss the fabulous 5-0 win against Swansea and look forward to the Capital One Cup semi-final v Liverpool. Chelsea upped their game against Swansea on Saturday with a 5-0 cull of the swans, and in the process played some superb football. Their build up play and passing was out of this world, and they were even peppering the Swansea goal with shots from outside the penalty area. 1-0 up in 49 seconds is pretty good, but 4-0 up inside 35 minutes is very special, or as Jose said “perfect”. But was this the perfect performance and are we seeing the best ever football played by a Chelsea side?On the show tonight we’ll be kicking off with the ratings for the Swansea game and then asking is it all about confidence? Was it the perfect performance or were Chelsea somewhat profligate and why was Jose so grumpy? Later on we’ll be awarding the Fannies for the Swansea game – Man of the Match, Chant of the Match, Celery and Guinness moments....

'The Rhythm Method!' Chelsea FanCast #305 Jan 13, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge, Sophie Rose, Chelsea journalist Dan Levene and Chelsea season ticket holder Dan Silver discuss Chelsea's win against Newcastle. Chelsea got back to winning ways and the title challenge got back on track with a 2-0 win against Newcastle on Saturday, but they made hard work of it. Were Cahill and Courtois rested or dropped for Cech and Zouma? A fitful and poor first half made way for a better second half where the team cajoled by Jose Mourinho finally found their rhythm. But are Chelsea getting away with it at the moment? How do they keep their rhythm in the weeks ahead? One hopes that Oscar and Costa have both found their form and rhythm too. All will be revealed on the Chelsea FanCast tonight!The team discuss the Chelsea v Newcastle game including the player ratings, and the nominations for this week's Match Awards - the Fannies - for Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness & Celery Moments before looking at this week's Chelsea news including the FA charging Jose Mourinho...

New Year Blues! Chelsea FanCast #304 Jan 06, 2015

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Sophie Rose are joined by Jonathan Kydd, Charlie Skillen, Dan Silver & Jason Coveyduck to discuss Chelsea v Watford in the Cup and the marathon that was the Christmas fixtures!So the Christmas marathon finally came to an end yesterday as Chelsea washed away their New Year’s Day blues with a win against Watford in the FA Cup. After a poor first half, Jose brought on the cavalry in the form of Willian and Diego Costa and Chelsea ended up winning comfortably. More noteworthy though was the absence of Jose’s untouchables. Has the Special One finally realized that some of our players clearly needed a rest? Better late than never I suppose. Let’s hope he learns to trust the likes of Zouma and Remy for the second half of the season!On the show tonight we’ll be kicking off with Ross’ player ratings for the Watford game, before we have a good old natter about the game itself asking what's up with Andre Schurrle and are Remy and Zouma the answer?No fannies this week, but instead we’ll...

Ducking & Diving! Chelsea FanCast #303 Dec 16, 2014

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and journalists Charlie Skillen and Dan Levene to discuss the wins against Hull and Sporting Lisbon, oh and apparently Chelsea are a team of divers!Chelsea got back to winning ways this week with a win in their final Champions League group game against Sporting Lisbon. Jose had promised us youth in the team, but all we got was Rubin Loftus-Cheek for an 8 minute cameo at the end when Jose believed the game to be safe. Will Jose blood the promising youth players or is he too risk averse. And in the light of 2 submissions and a fall or two bookings and a let off for diving in the 2-0 win against Hull, was Jose unwise to declare that Chelsea players don’t dive a few months ago. Should we really care as to whether our players dive or not - after all winning is everything, isn’t it? On the show tonight: Ross’ Ratings for Hull and Sporting Lisbon games. We’ll be having a chat about the Hull and Sporting Lisbon games and we’ll be awarding the Fannies for the Hull...

"Taking The Papiss!" Chelsea FanCast #302 Dec 09, 2014

Show notes

Stamford Chidge and Sophie Rose are joined by Jonathan Kydd, Charlie Skillen and Beth Wild to discuss the Newcastle and Spurs games.A mixed week. On Wednesday we battered our bitter North London rivals to maintain our unbeaten home record against them which goes back to 1990. On Saturday we faced a different type of bogeymen – Newcastle – a team that Mourinho has yet to beat in the league. Arch bogeyman, Papiss Cisse scored twice against Chelsea again, and although we threw the kitchen sink at them in the last 15 minutes, we lost for the first time since May – 24 games ago. Well at least all the invincibles nonsense can be put to bed and we can get on with winning points and the title going forward. On the show tonight we have Ross’ Ratings for Newcastle & Spurs games and we’ll be having a chat about the Newcastle & Spurs games and awarding the Fannies for Man of the Match, Chant of the Match, Celery and Guinness moments.All that plus Chelsea Chadder stats and a few of your emails. The...

Post European Blues! Chelsea FanCast #301 Dec 02, 2014

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Dr Mart, Jonathan Kydd, Charlie Skillen, Sophie Rose and the Benches to discuss the stunning win against Schalke and the frustrating draw against Sunderland, and all things Chelsea.Chelsea came up against a red & white brick wall against Sunderland on Saturday and a frustrating evening was had by all, especially street fighting man Diego Costa who tried very hard to get sent off and is now suspended for the Spurs match on Wednesday. Were the players tired after 3 games in a week? Were they off their game by 10% or did Sunderland play out of their skins and defend for their lives? Can we expect more of the same from teams now scared of letting Chelsea run away with it? At the end of the day this is a game we might have lost last season and as we stand we are still unbeaten and top of the league and we’ve got Spurs on Wednesday!On the show tonight:We've got Ross’ Ratings for Sunderland and Schalke games and we’ll be having a chat about the Sunderland and Schalke games...

"300!" Chelsea FanCast #300 Nov 26, 2014

Show notes

Thanks to a lack of crew in the TV studio we had to return to our roots and do an old skool podcast this week, which seemed appropriate as it is our 300th, yes 300th show!Stamford Chidge is joined by Dr Mart (who was on the first show); Ross Mooring; Jonathan Kydd; Sophie Rose and Mail On-line editor and Chelsea supporter Charlie Skillen.Chelsea waltzed to an easy 2-0 win against the Baggies on Saturday with Hazard, Oscar, Fabregas, Willian and Cost putting on a dazzling display. The game was all over on half an hour when Yacob was sent off for a two footed lunge on Costa. Should we have battered them more than two nil - probably? Do we care so long as we got all three points – probably not! At the end of the day we are seeing some great football, we have broken our record for games unbeaten at the start of the season and of course “we’re top of the league, we’re top of the league!We pay tribute to John Neal, Chelsea manager from 1981-85 who sadly died at the weekend, and have a chat about the...

'Unspeakables 1 Indomitables 2' Chelsea FanCast #299 Nov 11, 2014

Show notes

Stamford Chidge, Sophie, Pablo, Jonathan & Seb and the Benches discuss the clinical win against Liverpool and the frustrating draw against Maribor, as well as the Fannies, Chelsea Chadders Stats and the Chelsea news round up.Chelsea shook off their somewhat complacent draw with Maribor last Tuesday with a gritty and intimidating performance at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool drew first blood rather luckily but after equalizing, Chelsea always looked like winning and once Costa slammed the ball in to the net to make it 2-1, Jose Mourinho’s Mean Machine crushed the life out of Liverpool and the match to take all three points. But it could have been different had referee Antony Taylor given hand ball against Cahill for what might have been an equalizing penalty for Liverpool. But that’s how the cards fall and the Blues go marching on!All this plus Ross’ Ratings for the Liverpool and Maribor games; the Fannies for Liverpool and Maribor games – Man of the Match, Chant of the Match, Celery and Guinness...
