Everton vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
It’s bright and it’s early and it’s a Saturday. And it’s Chelsea. And it’s Everton. And it’s Merseyside. And it’s live! The Premier League weekend begins with a top-six clash of fifth versus sixth, as the league’s meanest defense go up against the league’s second best attack (and one of the league’s worst attacks go […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Everton: Never change a winning lineup
It’s the age-old question. Do you change a winning lineup? Do you play to your strengths as you perceive them, or do you try to anticipate and react to the opponents’ perceived strengths? The answers to those two questions rarely align exactly. As far as the WAGNH Community’s concerned, the correct answer is to stay […]
Everton vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
Chelsea are up first in the Premier League this weekend as Xabi Alonso takes his charges north to Goodison Park. Thankfully, someone told our manager, the former Liverpool player, that Everton no longer play at Goodison but rather at Hill Dickinson down the street. That could’ve been awkward! So, assuming we show up at the […]
How should Chelsea line up against Everton?
Chelsea travel up to Merseyside this weekend for a Saturday lunchtime occasion at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium, and unfortunately we will be doing so without the Captain, who was confirmed to have undergone knee surgery and will be out until at least Christmas. Despite James’s absence, our injury list is actually quite short at […]
Reece James to miss three months with knee injury — report
After last weekend’s game, Xabi Alonso made an off-hand mention of how Reece James suffered a little knee problem in training leading up to the match, and that he’s going to be week-to-week as we assess his condition. There were a few scary words in that brief mention, and sure enough, the problem turns out […]
The Daily Hilario: Friday
It has been a stressful couple of days, all the more worrying that I seem to have lost a few days. I’m back now, with my calendar updated. Of course Lol Hmm
AFC Bournemouth now willing to consider Alex Scott offers starting at £80m — report
Reality may be starting to sink in a bit at AFC Bournemouth, who are now said to be ready to consider offers starting at £80m for Alex Scott in January — a fair discount on the previously reported £100m fee just to get them to the negotiating table. Sky Sports claim that “an offer in […]

Ed.note: It’s actually Thursday, which is worse. Perhaps it’s Monday in TMIL’s universe, the Hilarioverse. First Unbeaten Well
How a private equity investment analyst might view BlueCo’s acquisition of Chelsea
Before I start, a few things: This was originally posted on The Daily Hilario on Monday, 12th October. If you have already read it there, this has incorporated the gist of my responses to comments made in order to avoid repetition. Despite the title, I’m not an investment analyst. However, I have worked alongside private […]
The Daily Hilario: Questings of Vision(s)
Watching the first episode of VisionQuest and maybe about to watch the second. So far, so good. Quite liked WandaVision and James Spader is usually a fun time, so I’m on board, at least for now. Also, Philomena Cunk as a person-in-the-chair? Brilliant. Will it better than Lanterns? I suspect it’ll be quite different, so […]
Stamford Bridge hosting Shakhtar’s Champions League matches, starting tonight
Chelsea and Shakhtar Donetsk struck a deal earlier this year to stage the latter’s Champions League matches at Stamford Bridge this season, giving the nomadic team from the war-torn region (since 2014) in Ukraine a proper European home, at least temporarily. It’s an especially appropriate arrangement given Chelsea’s former ties to Roman Abramovich. “At this […]
AFC Bournemouth ‘open to offers’ in January for Alex Scott — report
Chelsea were heavily linked with Alex Scott in the summer as our preferred replacement for Enzo Fernández, but Bournemouth were unwilling to do business — and less and less so the later we got in the transfer window — so a move would fail to materialize even as we sanctioned Enzo’s exit to Sham City. […]
The Daily Hilario: Schumacher ‘94
Watched the new Schumacher ‘94 documentary on Netflix. Underwhelmed. And also, a bit surprisingly, a bit whelmed bothered. Was never a big fan of Schumi, plus Benetton were massive cheats. They got caught a couple times; they got away with a lot more I’m sure. Hated Schumacher’s later dominance with Ferrari, too. (Nothing personal, obviously, […]
Cole Palmer wants to play ‘a big role’ in Chelsea going ‘back to the top very soon’
Cole Palmer signed a new eight-year contract last week good through 2034, confirming his long-term commitment to the Blues, just as the club have shown our commitment to him with multiple payrises now to go along with the impressive contract-lengths. Palmer, in a way, is the poster child for BlueCo’s wage structure (see also: Moisés […]
The Daily Hilario: Monday Morning Quarterback
Chelsea winning always means a good weekend, which was especially helpful after watching the Seahawks be their own worst enemies in yet another loss against the rival 49ers in the NFL yesterday. Beyond gifting 21 points to them with some of the most ridiculous turnovers, the Hawks were also on the receiving end of an […]
Chelsea 5-1 AFC Bournemouth, Player Ratings: Two beauties
1. JORDAN HENDERSON (8.9) If you had two goals from Henderson on your bingo card, you might be from the future and I need to know tomorrow’s lottery numbers and/or some stock tips. Share the wealth! Speaking of sharing the wealth, Hendo was signed to provide some veteran leadership, to share the wealth of knowledge […]
Xabi Alonso happy with ‘very complete’ Chelsea performance against Bournemouth
Chelsea went into the international break on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Brentford, with manager Xabi Alonso questioning the team’s “competitive mentality”, among other things. Three weeks later, in the first game back from the break, it took Chelsea just 64 seconds to showcase our mentality as we jumped out to yet another […]

Official: Cole Palmer signs new long-term Chelsea contract
Announced just before today’s entertaining 5-1 win over AFC Bournemouth, Cole Palmer has put pen to paper on his latest contract extension, committing his future to the Blues through 2034. Palmer’s previous contract, signed a couple years ago, was set to expire in 2033. So, as usual, it’s not necessarily about the length but about […]
Chelsea 5-1 AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Early goals have been a defining feature of the early season, and we dialed up that habit to eleven today, with not one but two goals inside the first three minutes. Jordan Henderson opened the scoring with barely a minute on the clock, after Cole Palmer was allowed to run half the length of the […]
Chelsea vs. AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Confirmed lineups; how to watch
We’re back to football and we’re back at Stamford Bridge, welcoming the winless Cherries. A great opportunity to get back to winning ways. It’s the usual back-three setup from Xabi Alonso, though Moisés Caicedo making his first start of the season at long last. The trio up front are all fit as well, while Josh […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Bournemouth: All fit and ready to go
The voting for today’s preferred lineup against AFC Bournemouth was started without knowing whether the likes of Moisés Caicedo, Cole Palmer, and João Pedro would be able to feature, so the percentages may not be an accurate reflection of the community’s preferences. Still, all three of those players were able to gather enough votes to […]

Chelsea vs. AFC Bournemouth, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch
As much as I appreciate FIFA combining the first two international breaks of the season into one long international break, three weeks without club football in the middle of the season is entirely far too long. But we’re finally back, and hopefully back to something better than where we left off. Chelsea headed into the […]
