50 Years of Chelsea: 1999-2000 Pt 2 Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1998-99 season.

In part two, we pick up the season in January. Chelsea are 7th in the Premier League, their league form having suffered from rotation due to participation in the Champions' League. They faced Nottingham Forest in the 4th round of the FA Cup and were making good progress in the Champions League group stage 2.

Chris Sutton had been firing blanks and Vialli shocked the football world with the signing in January of AC Milan's George Weah, a former World Footballer of the Year. Weah became an instant Chelsea cult hero by socring the winner against Spurs in the 87th minute to keeo our 10 year unbeaten run against them in tact.

Chelsea's league form was still up and down but the FA Cup and Champions' League were a different story. Gillingham were dispatched 6-1 in the FA Cup quarter-final with John Terry scoring his first Chelsea goal and despite defeats to Olympique Marseille and Lazio, a superb 3-1 win against Feyenoord with some of the best football we'd seen from a Chelsea side was enough to set up a mouthwatering and daunting Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.

The 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea scoring 3 goals in 8 minutes will go down as one of the best performances seen at the Bridge. Could Chelsea reach the semi-final of the Champions' League at the first attempt? They had given themselves every chance.

It all went horribly wrong in an intimidating Camp Nou where having gone 2-0 down, Flo scored in the 60th minute with a goal that would send Chelsea to the semi-final. We were only 7 minutes away when Barcelona scored the goal that took it to extra-time and after Babayaro was sent off, Barcelona ran out comfortable 5-1 winners (6-4 on aggregate).

But the season would still end on a high after two Gus Poyet goals helped Chelsea defeat Newcastle in the FA Cup semi-final and Robbie DiMatteo scored his second FA Cup final goal as Chelsea beat Aston Villa 1-0 to lift the FA Cup for the third time in the last final at the Old Wembley.

50 Years of Chelsea: 1999-2000 Pt 1 Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1998-99 season.

This season saw Chelsea compete in the Champions' League for the first time. With Gianluca Vialli retiring, Chris Sutton was bought from Blackburn Rovers for £10 million and it was hoped that he would provide the goals to mount a challenge on the elusive Premier League title and deep in to Europe.

With the addition of French World Cup winning Captain, Didier Deschamps, Chelsea had a squad full of foreign world class talent and many believed they were set up to do well. The season began with a 4-0 rout of Sunderland and Gus Poyet's stunning goal which augered well.

In the first group stage of the Champions' League, Chelsea proved they were at home in Europe's elite competition with impressive draws against AC Milan, home and away and a staggering 5-0 away victory over Galatasary. But Vialli was finding squad rotation difficult and after the highs of european competition, League form suffered with poor results against Watford, Liverpool, Everton, Leeds and most notably Arsenal at home thanks to a 15 minute hat-trick by Kanu.

At least Chelsea beat European Champions and treble winners Man Utd 5-0 and even the out of form and out of his depth Chris Sutton scored.

In part two we continue the season from January all the way to Wembley via the Camp Nou...

“Can We Play You Every Week?” Chelsea FanCast #871 Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver and Mark Meehan to look back at another ritual beating of Spurs!

On the show tonight, in part one, we look at Tuchel’s 4:1:4:1 system and ask does it solve the attacking issues. Has Ziyech achieved some redemption after his man of the match performance and a superb goal and while Lukaku was more involved was his performance still not good enough?

In part two we applaud some good performances all round, discuss the disallowed goal, no red card for Docherty and no penalty for Schipp’s rugby tackle on Azpi in another case of refereeing incompetence. We also take a look at Chelsea’s indomitable record against Sp*rs and delight in a much needed win.

In part three we have the results of this week’s Fannies for the Sp*rs match; some Discord questions and a few emails to read out.

In part four we round up the show by looking at Thomas Tuchel one year on from him joining Chelsea. What re his achievements and what more does he have to do?
