Valentín Barco scores for Argentina; Nicolas Jackson sees red for Senegal
Argentina, on their tour of NCAA college football’s greatest settings, took on Iceland for their second and final preparatory match ahead of the World Cup, at Auburn University. And though the second half belonged to Lionel Messi, the first half belonged to (soon-to-be) our very own Valentín Barco, who scored one and set up another […]
Chelsea’s ‘list of untouchables’ includes seven players — report
Chelsea face yet another critical summer transfer window, the ninth in the reign of BlueCo, who seem no closer to actually executing on their grand promises of winning and competing for trophies. They’ve said a lot of big words and wrote a lot of big checks on a lot of massive contracts (certainly in length, […]

Malo Gusto picks up assist in France win; Marc Cucurella starts for Spain; Jorrel Hato sits for the Netherlands
The day undoubtedly belonged to former Chelsea Academy prospect Michael Olise, who scored all three goals for France in their 3-1 warm-up (and send-off) friendly win against Northern Ireland last night in Lille. But Malo Gusto also had a pretty decent game after coming on at the half, collecting the assist on the third goal […]
Just a bad romance: Gaga Slonina ‘looking to leave’ Chelsea — report
Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina was a bit of an unknown when he arrived in 2022, in BlueCo’s first window, but he arrived with a pretty strong resumé from MLS, especially for an 18-year-old. He was the second youngest signing in league history at the time (now eighth), becoming the youngest ever starting goalkeeper a couple years […]

WAGNH Chelsea Player of the Year 2025-26: Reece James
The 14th year of the WAGNH Community Ratings is in the books, and the highest rated player throughout the course of the season is thus automatically declared the WAGNH Player of the Year. Admittedly, this methodology is not without its flaws, but I think there’s some intrinsic value in using the immediate reactions after each […]
Moisés Caicedo, Kendry Páez, Enzo Fernández, Valentín Barco feature in warm-up friendlies ahead of World Cup
Preparatory matches ahead of the World Cup are continuing all around North America, and in some cases, are even drawing some impressive crowds, like the 90k+ who showed up to watch Argentina against Honduras last night in College Station. College Station is home to Texas A&M University, and in true Texas fashion, houses a stadium […]
Reece James, Pedro Neto feature in warm-up friendlies ahead of World Cup
The World Cup starts later this week, which means all the participating teams are now fully focused on their preparations. For most, that includes one or two warm-up friendlies as well, though it’s unclear what the point of any such games may be when you use 22 players for one half each — it’s not […]

Marc Cucurella ‘believes his time’ at Chelsea ‘is at an end’ — report
Catalan media have started to make a fair bit of noise over Marc Cucurella in recent days, with a story in La Vanguardia making some of the strongest and most definitive claims yet about the left back’s future. As they put it, Cucurella “believes his time at Chelsea, after four seasons, has come to an […]
Lauren James, Alyssa Thompson, Veerle Buurman nominated for PFA awards
It’s turned into a rebuilding year for Chelsea Women, with plenty of changes behind the scenes, quite a few disappointing results on the pitch, and multiple seismic shifts among the playing squad, but the future’s still looking bright given the ambition and the talent of the team. Case in point: two of the six nominees […]

João Pedro wins Chelsea’s 2025-26 Goal of the Season award
Chelsea may have “short”-listed a whopping fourteen (14!) goals for the club’s annual Goal of the Season award, but there were pretty clearly only a few efforts truly worthy of that honor. And though personally, I voted for Estêvão’s goal against Barcelona, João Pedro’s acrobatic bicycle goal against Nottingham Forest was certainly just as deserving. […]
Cole Palmer, Estêvão, and Didier Drogba star in Nike’s latest World Cup ad-extravaganza
Neither Cole Palmer nor the injured Estêvão will get to actually play in the World Cup, and Didier Drogba’s long retired, but they are still some of the biggest names associated with Nike, so they all get cameos at least in the latest ad-extravaganza from the company ahead of the World Cup, which starts … […]

Manchester City, Chelsea in talks over Enzo Maresca compensation — report
Enzo Maresca is expected to be named the successor to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, but one of the things holding that up right now is any compensation that may be due to Chelsea, Maresca’s prior employer. When Maresca walked away from the Chelsea job at the turn of the year, he (seemingly) did so […]
Morgan Rogers among ‘at least 10 names’ on Chelsea’s summer wishlist (*UPDATED*)— report
Chelsea will likely need to be more of a selling club this summer after failing to secure any sort of European football for next season — not to mention our continuing lack of front-of-shirt sponsorship (even the new home shirt with its giant badge watermarked is practically designed with that gaping void in mind now) […]

Chelsea unveil 2026-27 home shirt from Nike
My two favorite home shirts from the past few decades have been the 2008-09 edition and the special one-off 50th anniversary commemorative FA Cup victory shirt from 2019-20. I don’t ever buy kits, but I regret not getting that one at the time. So in theory, I should absolutely love the home shirt for next […]

Marc Cucurella ‘willing to leave’ Chelsea as ‘multiple clubs’ make enquiries — report
Here’s a mild take for ya: of all the potential big(-ish) money exits possible this summer at Chelsea, Marc Cucurella’s would probably be the least impactful. Jorrel Hato’s ready. Cucu’s been quiet-quitting since January, but certainly since the end of March. And his performances on the pitch (especially compared to last season) have reflected that. […]
Official: Chelsea FCW sign Katie McCabe on free transfer from Arsenal WFC
Katie McCabe has been a thorn in our side for many years — figuratively, and quite literally as well considering her hard-nosed playing style — but hopefully it’ll be our opponents who will be feeling the pain going forward, with the veteran left back agreeing to join Chelsea on a free transfer today. The 30-year-old […]
