  • Goalless at Goodison, 2024 reflections and a look ahead to Fulham and Ipswich
    Dec 23 2024
    It's a point they haven't managed to get in the past... Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey in tow to look back on the blustery and attritional goalless draw with Everton at Goodison Park. Then, as it's our final show of the year we take a look back at 2024 in the life of Chelsea - the ups, the downs, the managerial changes and everything in between. A couple of familiar voices drop by to share their reflections on the past 12 months at Stamford Bridge and beyond. We're taking our Christmas break BUT we'll be back with you on Thursday 2nd January to look back on the festive fixtures against Fulham and Ipswich, look ahead to the trip to Crystal Palace - and catch you up with any of the Blues news we've missed while we've been away. (With apologies for the quality of Liam's audio - Santa needs to bring him a new microphone...) HOST: Matt Davies-Adams WITH: Liam Twomey PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Guiu's in the goals, a final trip to Goodison and the latest on Mudryk
    Dec 20 2024
    26 goals in six games... don't you just love Thursday nights? Matt Davies-Adams in joined by two of The Athletic’s finest - Luke Bosher and Simon Johnson to round off a rather eventful week at Chelsea Football Club. We begin with matters on the pitch, and another thumping Conference League victory on Thursday night as the Blues beat Shamrock Rovers 5-1 to make it six wins from six in the league phase. We praise the tenacity of Marc Guiu, the impressive showing from Josh Acheampong and the future of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Next up a trip to unhappy hunting ground Goodison Park awaits! We preview Sunday’s trip to Merseyside as the Blues look to end a run which has seen them lose five of their last six visits to Everton. But before that, we discuss the news which broke on Tuesday morning that Mykhailo Mudryk has been provisionally suspended by the FA after an "adverse finding in a routine urine test". Plus, there’s a round up of the rest of the Blues news elsewhere including another Champions League win for CFCW - and the last quiz of the year!

  • Bees curse ended as Chelsea close the gap at the top
    Dec 16 2024
    They just can't stop winning... Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Simon Johnson and Luke Bosher to reflect on the frantic 2-1 victory over Brentford at Stamford Bridge. After three straight defeats to the Bees at home the curse is finally over! We heap praise on the relentless Moisés Caicedo, bemoan Marc Cucurella's full-time ill-discipline - and Enzo tells us why Chelsea STILL aren't in the title race. Then, there's one last Conference League group phase game to navigate as Dublin's Shamrock Rovers make the trip to Stamford Bridge on matchday six. We ponder team selection and issue an apology for our incorrect naming conventions! Plus, CFCW's bid for a perfect season came to an end as they were held to a surprise 1-1 draw by WSL strugglers Leicester City. No such problems for the under-18s though, who produced a stunning comeback to progress to the 4th round of the FA Youth Cup at the expense of the Foxes. We'll be back on Friday to reflect on that final Conference League group game against Shamrock Rovers AND look ahead to Sunday's final trip to Goodison Park.
