'Bonkers' Chelsea FanCast #1078 Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at a memorable battering of Tottenham Hotspur.

In one of the maddest matches we have ever seen, Chelsea recovered from being under the kosh and 1-0 down to see Spurs lose the plot, go down to 9 men, play an inexplicable high line and get thumped 4-1. And to cap it all, Chelsea's hapless striker, Jackson, netted a hat-trick. But it was not all plain sailing, even against 9 men. VAR contrived to disallow 5 goals and none of us who were there had a scooby as to what was going on.

But at the end of the day "Tottenham get battered everywhere they go" and that's all that mattered!!!

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #1077 Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at the 2:0 defeat of Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup and ahead to Monday's night's match against Spurs.

In part one we discuss is Reece James back back to speed yet? Badiashile did well – is the Badiashile/Disasi partnership the future? Palmer outstanding again. Jackson's confidence on the floor. And a solid win and Newcastle next are we worried or relishing it? Plus JK gives us the low down on today's Presser.

In part two we welcome back Ricky Sacks from The Last Word on Spurs for The Opposition View. We ask Ricky how does it feel to be top of the league? Is he worried about St Totteringham Day? What is it that Ange has brought – mentality, unity, style of play? Given the rivalry and record, does he still fear Chelsea visiting 3-point lane? How will Ange set up and how does he see it going, as well as his score prediction. We ask Ricky to name as many players as he can in 'They Played For Both'.

In part three we preview the Spurs v Chelsea match with Chidge’s Team selection. Should Poch set up like he did against Arsenal or will Jackson start up top? Should James to start?And what about Mudryk? Do we do better against better teams who will give us more space? With Sp*rs unbeaten this season and top of the League, how big an ask is a good result? Will our relatively new team get how important a result is against Spurs? We wrap up with our predictions and JK and Tony attempt to beat Ricky in naming players in 'They Played For Both'.

‘Cow. Arse. Banjo’ Chelsea FanCast #1076 Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a familiar defeat at home to Brentford and ahead to Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Blackburn Rovers.

In part one and two we look back to Saturday's 0:2 defeat to Brentford. A horrible case of deja vu as Chelsea fail to convert their chances and then being mugged off with a smash and grab. Is it just as simple as not having a top striker? Did we miss Mudryk and Enzo? And is our unbelievably weak bench a result of injuries or a window in to how far we've fallen?

In part two we discuss the poor home atmosphere. Is it a reflection of modern football or a disatisfaction with what is being served up on the pitch? And with Chelsea languishing in mid-table, are there hopes we can turn it round and does this depend on buying a striker in January or do we put faith in our injured players returning?

In part three we catch up on todays news regarding Chelsea providing free travel to Wolves, facing possible punishment from the Premier League for financial irregularities under Abramovich and the removal of the Chelsea Supporters Club Israel banner.

We wrap up with a look ahead to wednesday's match against Blackburn. Chidge's team selection is discussed and the hope that Poch will take it seriously given it's a chance for a trophy. And we challenge JK and Dean to name the players who 'Played for Both'!

“A Pain in the Arse” Chelsea FanCast #1073 Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea's 2:2 draw at home to Arsenal.

In part one we discuss the great start made by Chelsea: pressing and tackling and on the attack. Was it a penalty? And what about Sterling and Palmer arguing about who should take it. Was Mudryk's amazing goal a 'cross cum shot' and did Sanchez cost us the game with his error? All in all, in spite of the disappointing result, it was the best performance of the season, a great tactical set up by Poch with the team well drilled in and out of possession.

In part two we say the midfield is purring – don’t change it. Palmer is potentially world class and a winner. Cucurella was a revelation and kept Saka in his pocket. Gusto is also looking a great prospect. With Chelsea's best performance for a long time is this a turning point? Does Poch have a selection headache when the injured players return? And we wrap up with an appreciation of Eden Hazard and a look back at the Chelsea FanCast afternoon with Mickey Thomas live at the Troubadour Club.
