Maresca: ‘Nothing’ positive to take from ‘bad night’ against Leeds United

The danger of a letdown was always going to be high. After two highs, the low is almost inevitable. And sure enough, despite the warnings, despite the awareness, despite the rotation and fresh legs, we were indeed let down … and let down quite badly. It’s probably fair to say that no one played well […]

Leeds United 3-1 Chelsea, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

The fear was always that this would be a massive letdown after the Barcelona and Arsenal games last week, and unfortunately that’s precisely how things panned out at Elland Road, an unhappy hunting grounds even in the best of times.

Leeds United vs. Chelsea, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to Elland Road, a place where we’ve not had much success historically. But Chelsea are in pretty good form, with some pretty good momentum, so perhaps we can change that today.

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Leeds United: Just a bit of rotation

It’s tough to keep up those levels, especially when the occasion is not nearly as grand. One way to combat this problem is through rotation, to keep legs and motivations fresh. Rotation […]

How should Chelsea line up against Leeds United to avoid a letdown?

After two massive results and two massive 90-minute efforts, Chelsea hit the road to Leeds to take on one of the Premier League’s lesser lights. Of course, there’s history here, too, and quite a bit of it, but The Whites are struggling at the wrong end of the table after winning the Championship last season. […]

Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal, Player Ratings: Reece James, our very own

1. REECE JAMES (9.2) It’s not been talked about too much, perhaps for fear of whispering it too loud and thus inviting disaster, but Reece James has been able to stay fit all season thus far, featuring in all thirteen of our league games (starting nine).

Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal, Premier League: Post-match reaction

Three yellow cards in under 13 minutes of play is a good summary of what took place in the first minutes of Chelsea’s match against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge today. Bukayo Saka’s strike straight at Robert Sánchez, which would have been overturned for offside had it gone in, was the Premier League leaders’ only strike […]

Earls Court development plans finally approved, sans football stadium

The redevelopment of Earls Court, a roughly a mile away from Stamford Bridge as the crow flies, appears to have taken a massive step forward … after many years of the site going disused and its future being (somewhat) in question. Unfortunately, though entirely as expected despite a few rumor-cycles, it’s taken that step forward […]
