Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #884 Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at Chelsea's defeat of Lille and ahead to Saturday's FA Cup 1/4 final against Middlesbrough.

In part one we look back at Chelsea's 2-1 win against Lille. Was Tuchel's team selection over cautious or sensible? Jorginho conceding a penalty, a great goal from Pulisic and a great time to score and Mason Mount made the difference supplying a great Azpi goal. And Thomas Tuchel post-match antics – heart-warming and he always gets it right.

In part two we discuss the latest on Chelsea being sold. The rediculous situation with no tickets for Boro and no Champions’ League tickets. Who are the bidders to date – Boehly; Ricketts; Johnson; Candy/Vialli; Broughton/Coe; Saudi Media and why should we be worried about sports franchises and investment funds buying the club. Plus we report on what the Chelsea Supporters' Trust have been up to this week with an open letter to bidders; a statement on Chelsea’s Boro statement; pressure on the Govt re. ticket sales; lobbying the shadow DCMS spokesperson and Chelsea MP Greg Hands. All to keep up the message where the key aims remain the same.

In part three we preview the Middlesbrough v Chelsea FA Cup 1/4 final. What's our team selection? We discuss Chelsea's history with Boro and Boro’s form. We wrap up by discussing how do we see it going including our predictions.

“Chelsea 1 Rest of the World 0” Chelsea FanCast #883 Mar 14, 2022

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall and Mark Meehan to look back at a crazy week in the world of Chelsea sealed with a last gasp winner against Newcastle.

On the show tonight, in part one, we look at Tuchel’s team selection. Ask were we bad, Newcastle good or did we cancel each other out? Should Havertz have been red-carded for elbowing Burn? Should the ref have given a penalty for Chalobah’s clumsy challenge? And talking of referee David Coote, is he another bad referee in a long line of them?

In part two we discuss Werner and Lukaku competing to see who is the most inept with a football; how the subs helped, Kovacic especially. We applaud Havertz coming to the rescue and discuss the importance of the win and the emotional release that ensued.

In part three, Marco and Mark talk to us about the release of the new Gate 17 book ‘Tales from the Shed’ the profits of which will be going to the Big Stamford Bridge Sleep Out in aid of Stoll Veterans. We also have the Fannies for Man of the Match and some emails to read out.

And we wrap up in part four by previewing the Lille v Chelsea Champions’ League match on Wednesday.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #882 Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Adam Newson from Football.London, Martin Wickham, Tony Glover and Mark Meehan for a Chelsea Fancast summit meeting on the existential threat facing Chelsea due to the Government sanctions.

In part one, we recap on the 3-1 win away to Norwich on Wednesday night, only hours after the announcement that Chelsea were to be sanctioned by the Government. Havertz and Mount were in great form in a performance of great character given the circumstances, but it is Thomas Tuchel's handling of the crisis that is truly remarkable. Looking ahead to the Newcastle match on Sunday, we discuss the injuries, press conference, likely team selection and discuss how we see the match going.

In part two, we look at the detais of the Government sanctioning Roman Abramovich and what it means for Chelsea. Is it necessary for Roman Abramovich to walk away quickly forsaking any profit or risk the club going bust? How real is the threat of Chelsea going bust or into administration? Does this put Chelsea in a vulnerable position with a potential new owner?

In part three we look at what the possiblity of Chelsea being taken out means to us personally. Will the history and heritage of the club live on in a different guise should the unthinakble happen? And what can the supporters do to help the club survive? We look at the great work the Chelsea Supporters' Trust is doing to ensure that Chelsea keep's going, such as protecting the Chelsea Pitch Owners, lobbying the Goverment to implement the Fan Led Review reccomendations such as the Golden Share to protect the ground, location, colours and badge, and ensuring the Government resolves the situation as quickly and transparently as possible.
