Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Oliver Harbord, Chelsea correspondent for Football.London to discuss Chelsea past, present and future...

On the show tonight, we ask if it’s bad enough for us with no football, what are the players doing without it? And does football and footballers have a responsibility to use their position in the community to help in the crisis?

In part two, we discuss Joe Cole’s comments on Ross Barkley and offer an appraisal ourselves. We ask with the enforced delay will there even be a summer transfer window? What is Chelsea’s strongest starting XI when football returns and we discuss some of Chelsea’s greatest Captains in the light of MOTD making John Terry the greatest Premier League Captain of all time.

In part three, we wallow in a bit of nostalgia by celebrating the 34th anniversary of when Pates went up to lift the Full Members Cup including Colin Pates and Johnny Bumstead talking about the match from their interviews with the Chelsea Special.

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 20/03/20 Mar 20, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd join Joe Forrester to look back at all the Chelsea news from another week without football in the Coronavirus Pandemic.

With Premier League announcing that it is now postponed until April 30th, is this realistic or just a way to avoid financial/legal liability What about UEFA’s 30th June cut off point when player contracts end? And should we finish it behind closed doors to get it done?

What other financial impacts will there be, such as Chelsea’s Shirt deal expiring and will Coronavirus be the final nail in the Stamford Bridge redevelopment and is that a good thing?

We also discuss Roman Abramovich’s generosity in opening the Millennium hotels to NHS staff; Mason Mount caught not self-isolating; Willian promising to honour his contract if the League overruns and the Coutinho to Chelsea rumour.

We wrap up looking at FIFA 20's virtual outcome of the Bayern Munich v Chelsea match - would fiction match reality? And as MOTD discuss the Premier League's Top 10 Captains, who is Chelsea's best ever skipper (stupid question!).

In part two, we say keep calm & carry on FanCasting. We have our top 10 tips on what to do without football and sport. If the season gets cancelled, will we get our money back? And with a lengthy hiatus from football will some of us not come back or will absence make the heart grow fonder?

In part three, we ask if this is the end of the season, how will we remember it? What are the mark’s out of 10 for Frank & Jody? Who are our best, most improved and most disappointing players; what was the best and worst game so far?

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 13/03/20 Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Matt Beadle to discuss the impact of the Premier League being suspended on football and Chelsea, as well as looking back at Chelsea's victory over Everton last weekend.

With the announcement today that the Premier League is being suspended until April 4th we ask should it have been suspended earlier Are the Premier League being optimistic about it returning as soon as April? Will or should the season be voided?

What will it mean for Chelsea on and off the pitch? What are the knock on effects in terms of fixture congestion and the transfer window What will it mean for the fans? What will we do without football? How will we cope?

Looking back at what may well be Chelsea's last match of the season in last weekend's 4-0 victory over Everton, we applaud a great midfield performance from Gilmour, Barkley & Mount and ask should Gilmour be a regular from now on and has Barkley proved he can do it for Chelsea?

On the show tonight, we applaud a great midfield performance from Gilmour, Barkley and Mount against Everton. Should Gilmour be a regular from now on; has Barkley turned a corner?

In part two, with Chelsea keeping a clean sheet, is Kepa back for good? The old guard up front rolled back the years but with Chelsea unlikely to offer Willian a 3 year contract will he be off with Giroud and Pedro come the summer? And talking of contracts, what’s going on with Tammy Abraham?

“A Leap of Faith” Chelsea FanCast #494 Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Mark Worrall and Dean Mears to look back at Chelsea's 2-2 draw away to Bournemouth and ahead to the FA Cup tie against Liverpool.

On the show tonight, we ask has Marcos Alonso earned a stay of execution or is he system dependent? What’s the key problem – defence, attack or midfield? If its midfield, is it time for a change of approach

In part two, we ask is the meltdown and criticism justified or not? How much of this is down to poor coaching and decisions and how much poor players and bad execution? How much are the injuries a mitigation for Frank and Jody and can we stay in fourth given the injury concerns with Tammy and others?

In part three, we look ahead to the Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup match tomorrow by looking back at some Famous Cup ties against the scousers. We ask will Liverpool be vulnerable or more determined after losing to Watford? Will Klopp pick a weak side? How will Frank approach it – who will he pick? And how much do we want the FA Cup this season; would top four be preferable?

To wrap up in part four we have some cracking emails to read out.

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio 28/02/20 Feb 29, 2020

Show notes

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd join Love Sport Radio's Matt Beadle to discuss the latest Chelsea news, look back at Chelsea's defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions' League, the win last weekend against Spurs and ahead to the weekend's match against Bournemouth.

Chelsea were taught a harsh lesson in the defeat to Bayern Munich but just how far away are they from being competitive in the later stages of the Champions' League?

We answer caller Ray's question about the future of Stamford Bridge and look back at a great win against Spurs where a change in formation did the trick.

Looking ahead to the Bournemouth match, they have proved something of a bogey side recently but with Chelsea suffering from a spate of injuries at the moment, just who will Frank Lampard select?

With the Premier League Hall of Fame to be introduced, Chidge and JK nominate two Chelsea players for the accolade.
