Chelsea ‘exploring a move’ for Douglas Luiz — reports
According to The Athletic and the BBC, Chelsea are “interested” in midfielder Douglas Luiz and are “exploring a move” over a potential loan for him (and nothing more than that, as per Fabrizio Romano). None of this makes too much sense of course, but sense isn’t ever a necessary ingredient to transfer market rumors and […]
Chelsea 1-0 Pafos, Player Ratings: Moi saves the day
1. MOISÉS CAICEDO (7.5) Caicedo’s having a career year as far as goals scored are concerned: this is now his fifth in all competitions, just one off his career high, which he set back in his debut season in Ecuador. This is all just a bonus of course to his usual contributions as a world-class […]

Struggling in PL Leaving Surprise
Rosenior: ‘You have to keep banging on the door’
Despite being dominant on the pitch and on the statsheet, Chelsea were approaching the final ten minutes of the match against Pafos FC last night without anything to show for our efforts. The prior 80 minutes or so had elapsed almost entirely as an attack-versus-defense exercise, with the Blues having nearly all of the ball, […]
Chelsea 1-0 Pafos, Champions League: Post-match reaction, ratings
Neither side made an especially energetic start to the game, though Pafos were clearly happy to not press the issue too much and focus on their defensive work, just as they had done throughout the competition. Those plans might have been undone pretty quickly had Enzo Fernández gotten away with a little push on the […]
Manchester City WFC 0-1 Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Post-match reaction
Unsurprisingly Chelsea Women were very wary of Manchester City in their trip to the Academy Stadium in Manchester tonight. And so were the hosts, unwilling to let the Blues put an end to a 16-match unbeaten streak with 15 (regular time) victories started right after they lost the season opener to us at Stamford Bridge. […]
Chelsea vs. Pafos, Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Matchday 7 (of 8) in the Champions League “league-phase”. A win here would guarantee Chelsea’s place in the knockout rounds, and keep us in contention for a top-eight finish as well. Anything less and suddenly there would be a lot of pressure on our final game of this phase, away to Napoli. Not […]
Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Pafos: Don’t take it too easy!
On paper, Chelsea’s game tonight against Pafos FC, the second lowest-ranked team remaining in the competition, is the easiest of our eight league-phase matches in the Champions League. That ranking will have improved over the past few months however, as they’ve collected six points from their first six games, and remain well in contention for […]
Manchester City WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Lineups & Game Thread
Once again, a cup match on the table for Chelsea Women. Win this and we’re through to the Women’s League Cup final match set to take stage at Ashton Gate in Bristol. Lose this and we’re out, with Manchester City moving forward instead. Today’s City team arrives in a much better place than the one […]

Monitoring Wow Hmm
Chelsea vs. Pafos, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watch
David Luiz is, unironically, one of my favorite Chelsea players of all time, and on Wednesday night, he will return to Stamford Bridge, and receive (hopefully) the hero’s welcome that he deserves. Of course, It won’t be the first time the now 38-year-old real life video game character returns since leaving (for the second time) […]
Tosin Adarabioyo to miss ‘a few weeks’ with hamstring injury; Axel Disasi joins Chelsea training
Tosin Adarabioyo was substituted off in the second half of our 2-0 victory over Brentford over the weekend, and unfortunately it sounds like he will be out for a little while at least. Head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed the news in his press conference earlier today. “Unfortunately for Tosin, there’s something in his hamstring which […]
Manchester City WFC vs. Chelsea FCW, Women’s League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s only January and Chelsea Women can already claim their first shot at silverware, hinging on beating Manchester City in the upcoming Women’s League Cup semifinal. This City are not like the one under Gareth Taylor. With Andrée Jeglertz at helm they’ve only lost a single game. It does bode well for us that this […]
How should Chelsea line up against Pafos in Champions League?
Champions League football returns this week, and since the “league phase” (née group stage) is extra long nowadays, we are still not in the knockout rounds despite it being the second half of the season already. And, actually, Chelsea’s place in the knockout rounds isn’t quite assured just yet either, as we have just ten […]

Agreement Official Sad
Chelsea to recall David Datro Fofana from Fatih Karagümrük SK loan — report
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are set to recall Loan Army warrior David Datro Fofana from Fatih Karagümrük SK, with a view towards a permanent exit from the club before the end of the month. The 23-year-old striker joined the Turkish Süper Lig side in the final hours of the summer transfer window and has […]

Nicolas Jackson and Mamadou Sarr win Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal
Six months ago, Nicolas Jackson and Mamadou Sarr stood on a makeshift stage in New Jersey and celebrated being crowned (Club) Champions of the World. Last night, they were celebrating again, this time being crowned African Champions after Senegal’s dramatic 1-0 extra-time win over host nation Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations final. Both […]
Chelsea 2-0 Brentford, Player Ratings: Bob strikes back
1. ROBERT SÁNCHEZ (7.7) Sánchez had one of the worst games of his Chelsea career on Wednesday, with two massive (and simple) errors leading directly to two of Arsenal’s three goals. Though mistakes have never been too far from Sánchez in his time at Chelsea thus far, they almost always had something to do with […]
Liam Rosenior pleased with Chelsea ‘attitude’ in battling win against Brentford
It was far from the prettiest and most definitely far from our best, but Chelsea got the job done against Brentford on Saturday, picking up the full three points for just the second time in our last ten Premier League matches. Taking advantage of a couple mistakes from the visitors, we rode our luck at […]

Lol First What
Chelsea agree personal terms with Jérémy Jacquet — report
Chelsea look set to reinforce the defense this January transfer window, but of course in classic Clearlake style, we’re going to do it with promising potential rather than proven experience. Marc Guéhi for £20m? Don’t be silly. Here’s some random under-21 from France instead! That’s no slight on said random under-21 from France of course. […]
Chelsea 2-0 Brentford, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings
It took a minute for the game to kick into life, though it weren’t Chelsea who were doing the kicking with the visitors looking the more energized and certainly the more dangerous on their forays forward. But Chelsea were living a charmed life in front of our own goal, with Brentford wasting at least two […]
Chelsea vs. Brentford, Premier League: Lineups & Game Thread
Welcome to Liam Rosenior’s third match in charge, his first (ever) in the Premier League. Can we get him that inaugural win? Brentford certainly won’t make it easy, and they’re in excellent form. The good news is that Cole Palmer and Reece James were both passed fit and they both start, as does Alejandro Garnacho […]
Chelsea FCW 5-0 Crystal Palace FCW, Women’s FA Cup: Post-match reaction
Match blackouts are unfortunately not unprecedented with Chelsea Women. It’s still a weird happenstance given how in modern football you can easily find ways to watch live quasi-professional matches in leagues and countries severely under the radar of the average sports watcher. To our luck Chelsea have always been on top of the game when […]
