Welcome home Super Frank!
Given these two teams will meet at Ashton Gate next month for the Women’s League Cup final, this clash between Chelsea Women and Manchester United at Kingsmeadow is pretty much a preview of things to come when they meet at a big(ger) stage. United are coming in hot from several wins in a row while […]
Highest Bottled Most
Chelsea made the perfect start to the game, scoring inside of five minutes and then piled on the pressure, looking for a quick second. But after João Pedro’s opener, we were not able to get beyond Burnley’s massed ranks and their willingness to throw bodies at shots. The visitors may have been behind, but they […]
he players got four days off to catch some sunshine, but now it’s back to the grind with three very important points on offer. Burnley are not very good and are likely going down; we cannot afford to drop any points to them. With no midweek action coming up, Liam Rosenior is free to choose […]
Pedro Neto may have scored a hat-trick against Hull City in the FA Cup, but that was not enough to convince the WAGNH Community that he has snapped out of his subpar form of late, with the voters preferring Estêvão by about 10 per cent margin. Neto still would’ve made the cut for the starting […]
Lol Oof Well
For the past few months, Chelsea have spent nearly every waking hour playing football, training for playing football, or recovering from playing … football. Football, football, football! You might say that’s to be expected, given it’s their job and it’s the middle of the season, but as Liam Rosenior pointed out in his pre-match press […]
AI is all the rage these days — everything with even just a hint of a generative algorithm being hailed as the next biggest productivity booster — so it’s perhaps no surprise that Chelsea have found an AI company willing to splurge some cash and become our front-of-shirt sponsor, at least for the rest of […]
UPDATE: Lavia did in fact, and played the first half in the 2-2 draw. Chelsea took a 2-0 lead (Leo Cardoso and Shim Mheuka with the goals) but coughed it up late on. Sounds familiar! If we’re lucky and keep our eyes peeled on the misty horizon, we just might spot a mythical creature going […]
Deal Hmm First
After a grueling multi-month stretch of games every three-four days, Chelsea will have gone over a week between games by the time kick-off against Burnley rolls around this weekend. The team have taken advantage of that by sending the players away for a few days, with many going off for a short vacations in various […]
Second Most Hmm
Last night, Arsenal, fresh off their victory in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup, also finished off Belgian Women’s Super League champions OH Leuven by an aggregate score of 7-1, setting up the expected and quite massive showdown against Chelsea in the quarterfinals of this year’s UEFA Women’s Champions League. As on the men’s side, […]
Highest Lol, evil recognise evil Hmm
With much fanfare and even bigger drama, Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich on loan in the summer, with Bayern paying around €15m just in loan fees and also negotiating an additional €65m clause to make his signing permanent. Pretty good wheeling and dealing by Chelsea, no? Alas, that clause soon turned out to be a […]
Most Hmm Only
For the third successive round in the FA Cup, Chelsea have been drawn away against a Championship side. But our latest will be the most high profile of the lot, as we head up to North Wales, to face Hollywood FC in Wrexham on the weekend of March 7. Wrexham, now in the fifth full […]
Truth Lol Oof
1. PEDRO NETO (8.9) Neto has been mired in a rather lengthy slump, despite his near-constant presence in the starting lineup — availability is always a good ability! — so it’s great to see him break out (hopefully) with a match-winning performance. The hat-trick also gives him 10 goals for the season, setting a new […]
It’s kind of boring to keep repeating this so often. But this Chelsea Women is not playing as confidently as they were since their Arsenal loss followed by an absolute beatdown handed to them by Manchester City. No wonder we’ve had major developments ever since in a mostly drama-free club, namely Sonia Bompastor’s extension to […]
Chelsea Women have done well in finding balance again in the Women’s Super League by beating city rivals Tottenham last weekend. But to really be back in usual business we need to string along some well needed wins, beginning with Liverpool at Kingsmeadow today. We did beat the Reds 9-1 at their turf a while […]
It’s been almost a full month since Chelsea Women last took the ground at Kingsmeadow to play in front of the home crowd. Today we’re finally back at a home we clearly miss so dearly, to host Liverpool in the Women’s Super League. Some of us have that absolute demolition of Liverpool still in mind. […]
First Hmm Reports
According to the BBC, Marc Cucurella “is hoping to return in 3-4 weeks” from his hamstring injury, which presumably finally got properly scanned and assessed, with a rehab plan put in place. Cucurella got hurt in the game against Leeds United on Tuesday, but on Friday night, after our 4-0 victory against Hull City, head […]
Like London buses, Chelsea hat-tricks are coming in bunches. After not seeing one for over a calendar year, we’ve now had two in the space of a week. Pedro Neto’s last night might not be as historic as Cole Palmer’s was a couple game ago … though it’s probably pretty rare to have one of […]
