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 […]

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 […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Crystal Palace FCW, Women’s FA Cup: Lineups & Game Thread

Here we are for a third consecutive year, facing Crystal Palace in a Women’s FA Cup match. Is it about to become a tradition? As long as it means Chelsea Women taking them out of the running, as we did the last two times we met in the competition, we’d be fine with that. Chelsea […]

Chelsea vs. Brentford, Premier League: Preview, team news, how to watch

For Liam Rosenior’s third match in charge, we take on fellow West London outfit Brentford, who are actually the best team in West London at the moment. They come into the weekend sitting a lofty fifth in the table — they’ve never finished higher than ninth in the top tier in their history — having […]

How should injury- and illness-hit Chelsea line up against Brentford?

Chelsea were a bit understrength against Arsenal midweek, and unfortunately the situation may not have improved too much as we welcome the best team in West London to West London’s finest setting. Cole Palmer, Reece James, and Malo Gusto all missed the League Cup semifinal because of fitness concerns, while Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens […]

Chelsea FCW vs. Crystal Palace FCW, Women’s FA Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch

It’s the third consecutive season Chelsea Women face Crystal Palace in the Women’s FA Cup. The difference this time is we’re facing them in our first match of the competition. Lose this and you’re out. Simple as. Meaning even though we’re facing a team that just got relegated from the Women’s Super League, we don’t […]

Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal, Player Ratings: Garnacho keeps hope alive

1. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO (8.3, sub) Garnacho’s best performances seem to be off the bench, which isn’t a bad thing. But it would be cool if he could make similar impact when starting. But hey, better than nothing at all, and his brace gives us a bit of hope of pulling off an upset in the […]

Chelsea ‘ready to make a move for a new defender’ — report

Chelsea are apparently ready to do something for Liam Rosenior that we weren’t willing to do for his predecessor, and try to sign a new defender before the end of the January transfer window! The club refused to acquiesce to Enzo Maresca’s demand for a new signing at the position in the summer, and evidently […]

Official: Facundo Buonanotte signs on loan with Leeds United after Chelsea loan cut short

Facundo Buonanotte’s time at Chelsea is over after six months, eight appearances, one goal, and many questions about why he was even here. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder arrived on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion in the closing stages of the summer transfer window, evidently surplus to requirements there and, as it unsurprisingly turned out, […]

Chelsea 2-3 Arsenal, League Cup: Post-match reaction, ratings

Chelsea started the game well enough, but Arsenal struck first, and quickly, scoring from a corner with barely five minutes on the clock. Arsenal scoring from a set piece? Inconceivable. That said, the goal had as much to do with weak defending on our part than anything special from the Gunners: Robert Sanchez flapped horribly, […]

Chelsea vs. Arsenal, League Cup: Lineups & Game Thread

Welcome to the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal! The Liam Rosenior era got off to a good start midweek; now can we start league-leading Arsenal’s inevitable annual collapse? The new head coach’s favorite word has been “intensity”, so let’s have at ‘em! Looks like Liam Delap has been a late scratch (Shim Mheuka’s […]

Chelsea fans’ preferred lineup against Arsenal: Faith in Delap and Estêvão

It’s fair to say that neither Liam Delap nor young Estêvão Willian have been first-choice players this season, in part due to injuries, but Delap seems to be finding his feet finally and we all want to see Estêvão play more, so it’s perhaps not surprising that the WAGNH Community have chosen both of them […]

Arsenal vs. Chelsea, League Cup: Preview, team news, how to watch

Liam Rosenior became the first new Chelsea head coach in a decade, since Antonio Conte, to win his first competitive match in charge, as we beat second division Charlton Athletic, 5-1 in the FA Cup last weekendTos. A remarkable statistic, that, strength of opposition aside, accomplishing something that Maurizio Sarri, Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel, Graham […]
