I’m well aware that this blog hasn’t been particularly active these past few months. I’ve been pretty busy with other things and to be honest, with the way we’ve played through large parts of this season I simply haven’t had the energy nor motivation to write anything. However, I don’t think I’d be doing myself … Continue reading The Billion Pound Bottle Jobs

Walking along the River Thames on a beautiful September’s morning, I was excited. Whilst our win mid-week was not convincing from a score line perspective, we had looked good going forward and created more than enough chances to win the game three times over. I was no reason why we couldn’t build on that. After … Continue reading 02.09.23 Nottingham Forest (h)

Chelsea’s failure to qualify for European football last season (that sounds marginally better than saying we finished 12th) had many consequences.

Of the weekend’s football, one game in particular stood out to me. Watching Tottenham take on … Continue reading 20.08.23 West Ham United (a)

Oh yeah, we’re back. I really enjoyed the summer break. Despite a very poor British Summer weather wise, we did still get a scintillating series of Ashes Cricket (let’s ignore the fact the weather ruined the overall result) and it’s been nice to have a little bit of time away from watching Chelsea. That being … Continue reading 13.08.23 Liverpool (h)

In just 9 days time we will be back. I’ll be strolling down Fulham road, with my mates and possibly a drink or two heading into my usual spot in the Shed Lower. I cannot wait. Last season was tumultuous, to say the least. I don’t think anyone could’ve possibly predicted just how bad a … Continue reading Looking ahead to 23/24
