'Pottering' Chelsea FanCast #978 Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a frustrating draw against Everton at the Bridge.

In part one we ask why did Potter shut up shop at 1-0? Was it Brightonesque or an attempt at game management? We look at the substitutions. Gallagher for Pulisic? Why not Mudryk? Cheek for Kovacic and Chalobah for Fofana - understandable but Chukwuemeka for Felix?

In part two we look at the poor defending by Koulibaly and Kepa's errors for Everton's 2nd goal. The result was frustrating and felt like a defeat and it seems like when Chelsea don't win the negativity starts. However, Chelsea looked fluid for much of the match, although still profligate and the defence was immense bar the two errors for the goals. So, are we getting in a stew about nothing?

In part three we give a very warm welcome to Garry Hayes and Ceri Levy from The Chels podcast to talk about their new project: The Blueprint: How Chelsea FC Changed Football, a brand-new narrative podcast series covering the rise of Chelsea FC and the club's role in shaping modern football, has debuted with an extremely rare and exclusive interview with former Chelsea FC owner Ken Bates.

From fearing for their very existence to conquering Europe and winning the Champions League all within two decades, the story of modern Chelsea FC is unlike any other. The Blueprint tells the inside story of how the club has shaped modern football.

From the boardroom to the dressing room, the press room to terraces, key figures who played their part or watched history being made before their very eyes, open up and reveal all in this narrative podcast series.

Featuring Frank Lampard, Ken Bates, Jody Morris, Petr Cech, Gary Cahill, Paul Clement, Scott Minto, Tore Andre Flo and many more.

The two-part Blueprint Ken Bates interview is available on Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon and all major podcast providers. The full eight-part series will be available from May 2023

'GPBAWA' Chelsea FanCast #975 Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Worrall to look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat of Leicester City.

In part one with 3 goals and 3 wins on the trot we ask crisis, what crisis? Are Chelsea beginning to gel? Are key players returning making a difference? And are Kovacic and Fernandes becoming the glue that holds it together and if so how does Kante fit in?

In part two we discuss the new arrivals getting better. We bemoan VAR the 'Karma Killer' with no-one celebrating Havert's superb goal. Also, VAR letting us down with the terrible foul on Felix going unpunished. We praise a rejuvenated Havertz and ask are Mount & Gallagher too good to let go?

We sum up by looking at the apparent upturn in Chelsea's performances and ask have we and Graham Potter turned a corner and has this come about by playing the right system for the players.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #974 Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to look back at a superb European night at Stamford Bridge against Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the Premier League match against Leicester City.

In part one we look back at Chelsea's superb win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions' League. Apparently BVB are good, and we done good! Where did that performance come from? Stand out performances across the board especially from Chilwell, James, Havertz and Cucurella. Chelsea showed some much needed fight and we are pleased for Potter. Who next and can we win it?

In part two we look ahead to Saturday's match against Leicester. We discuss Potter’s Presser and Chidge gives his team selection – will it be the same as it was for the Leeds match? We discuss Chelsea's defensive consistency and Capt. Kova. Leicester are mercurial at best but can Chelsea build on the last two wins? Is this another 6 pointer? We wrap up with our predictions.

"We Scored A Goal!" Chelsea FanCast #972 Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan, Chair of the Chelsea Supporters' Trust, prolific Chelsea author and all round great bloke to look back at that rarest of things...A CHELSEA WIN!!!

In part one we look back at a better performance in the 1-0 defeat of Leeds, bar the usual profligacy and a resort to Championship team tactics to hold on to the 1-0 lead. Talking of 'championship', why the lack of humour about a good old fashioned bit of gallows humour, something Chelsea supporters have been doing for years. And Chidge has found some shocking analysis of Chelsea's rubbish corners.

In part two we applaud the performances of many of the players and ask if consistency of performance can be found in consistency of selection. Has a 1-0 win against Leeds given Potter a reprieve and it's remarkable what a win can do to cheer us all up and help the local economy judging by the busy Chelsea pubs after the game. JK and Chidge also report back on a fantastic afternoon spent with Paul 'Canners' Canoville at the Troubadour Club on Sunday afternoon.

In part three we look ahead to the match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. What is Chidge's team selection? With it being advantage Dortmund will a Dortmund goal kill the tie? How will Chelsea score the (minimum) two goals needed to get through when they haven't scored two goals since Boxing Day? And if Chelsea get knocked out that will be the season over but will it be 'Aufwiedersehen Potter'? We wrap up with our predictions.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #971 Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to preview Chelsea v Leeds.

In part one we discuss 'Potter's Presser', rue the latest injuries to Chelsea players and wonder why more pertinent questions are not asked in the pressers. We also discuss the announcement of the Fans Advisory Board and the latest on the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.

In part two we preview the Chelsea v Leeds match. Chidge's team selection has a 'make do and mend' feel about it but he suggests a change in formation. Is this another must win match and another relegation 6 pointer? Do we fear a new manager bounce from Leeds? And Javi Gracia has form against Chelsea. We wrap the show up with our predictions.
