2022/2023

It’s hard to put into words exactly what has happened at Chelsea Football Club this season. I’m aware I failed to provide pieces about both Madrid (h) and Arsenal (a). Quite frankly I was busy. More importantly, I simply couldn’t be arsed. Poor I know, but at least I’m honest. I did have drafts for … Continue reading 28.05.23 Newcastle United (h)

When I woke up yesterday, I had a pretty sore head. In fairness, and rather surprisingly, this wasn’t at the thought of Chelsea playing. An innocent enough trip to the pub on Friday had got wildly out of hand thanks to some rather inclement weather. A man of extreme habit, and wanting to try and … Continue reading 15.04.23 Brighton (h)

April 12th 2022 produced one of the greatest football matches I’ve ever seen. For a glorious five minutes, Chelsea led 3-0 at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid, the side with the most European trophies in club football by some distance, were on their knees. Blown away by a Chelsea side who looked like they could do … Continue reading 12.04.23 Real Madrid (a)

Oh good, we are doing this again. For the last few years Stamford Bridge has gradually become anything other than a fortress and unfortunately yesterday’s loss to a now ninth place Aston Villa exemplified that. I can honestly say that heading into yesterday’s game I really had thought in mind of how the game would … Continue reading 01.04.23 Aston Villa (h)

Chelsea’s Saturday trip to Leicester last weekend pushed the club towards a return to normality. It was the first time since back in October that we’ve managed to win three games in a row across all competitions and at last, it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel in terms of … Continue reading 18.03.23 Everton (h)

As far back as you look, Chelsea have always had a very special relationship with European Football. European Cup Winners Cup x 2 UEFA Europa League x 2 UEFA Champions League x 2 UEFA Super Cup x 2 Real Madrid can keep their fourteen Champions League trophies, for it is only Chelsea Football Club who … Continue reading 07.03.23 Dortmund (h)

10am on Monday came and went and there we were, at the very least it seemed like Graham Potter would be the manager of Chelsea Football Club for another week and a bit. There would be no choice but to get behind him and hope that we might finally find the spark to turn our … Continue reading 04.03.23 Leeds United (h)

Death, Taxes and Chelsea beating Spurs whenever I’ve been fortunate enough to go to the game. At least, that was the case, until yesterday’s trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. I really am lost for words at this point as to just how we can be as bad as we currently are, it seems to … Continue reading 26.02.23 Spurs (a)

Let’s go back to 2:15pm yesterday afternoon. Life was good. Arsenal looked set to draw against Aston Villa in what had been a thrilling early 12:30 Saturday Kick Off and I was pretty happy with the Chelsea starting XI that was now plastered over social media. We were due to play the side bottom of … Continue reading 18.02.23 Southampton (h)

2023 has been a mixed bag of emotions for Chelsea fans. Off the pitch it’s seemingly been great and even as a pessimist I struggle to find fault with the majority of players we’ve signed. On the pitch, we’ve been rubbish. When our initial Champions League group came out it was hard not to be … Continue reading 15.02.23 Dortmund (a)

If you asked someone to design a football stadium that ticks none of the boxes that you’d expect a modern ground to, then I’m fairly certain you’d come up with something strikingly similar to the London Stadium. Frustratingly, the game had been assigned the killer of atmospheres kick off time, the Saturday 12:30. We arranged … Continue reading 11.02.23 West Ham (a)

After two weeks and six days, it was finally time for the much anticipated return to Stamford Bridge. There would be a few new faces in and around the team, as Todd Boehly had endeavoured to spend the GDP of a small country on eight new arrivals over the last 31 days. The entire window … Continue reading 03.02.23 Fulham (h)

You’ll struggle to see a day and a half that more perfectly summarise Chelsea Football Club in 2023 than the last 36 hours. On Saturday I met a few university friends to try and enjoy the Manchester Derby. A game that really did mean quite little for Chelsea but equally one that could’ve at least … Continue reading 15.01.23 Crystal Palace (h)

I remember feeling weirdly happy leaving the Amex Stadium in Brighton on October 31st, almost lucidly so. Not because I was pleased with what I’d just seen. After all, this was Graham Potter’s homecoming against his former club and we’d just had to endure 90 minutes of pure torture which culminated in the same fans … Continue reading 12.01.23 Fulham (a)

Usually, one of the main positives of playing Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team is that you then don’t have to worry about playing them for another six months or so. Unfortunately, that rule doesn’t apply to us. We played them at the start of November, and we can look forward to playing them once again … Continue reading 05.01.23 Manchester City (h)

Dry Turkey, Copious amount of Alcohol, Darts at Alexandra Palace and Boxing Day Football. The four staples of a good Christmas Break. Only there was no Boxing Day game for us Chelsea fans this year. We had to wait until the 27th. Thank you Premier League and Amazon Prime. No seriously, thank you. The journey … Continue reading 27.12.22 Bournemouth (h)
