Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Worrall to look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat of Leicester City.In part one with 3 goals and 3 wins on the trot we ask crisis, what crisis? Are Chelsea beginning to gel? Are key players returning making a difference? And are Kovacic and Fernandes becoming the glue that holds it together and if so how does Kante fit in?In part two we discuss the new arrivals getting better. We bemoan VAR the 'Karma Killer' with no-one celebrating Havert's superb goal. Also, VAR letting us down with the terrible foul on Felix going unpunished. We praise a rejuvenated Havertz and ask are Mount & Gallagher too good to let go?We sum up by looking at the apparent upturn in Chelsea's performances and ask have we and Graham Potter turned a corner and has this come about by playing the right system for the players. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to look back at a superb European night at Stamford Bridge against Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the Premier League match against Leicester City.In part one we look back at Chelsea's superb win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions' League. Apparently BVB are good, and we done good! Where did that performance come from? Stand out performances across the board especially from Chilwell, James, Havertz and Cucurella. Chelsea showed some much needed fight and we are pleased for Potter. Who next and can we win it?In part two we look ahead to Saturday's match against Leicester. We discuss Potter’s Presser and Chidge gives his team selection – will it be the same as it was for the Leeds match? We discuss Chelsea's defensive consistency and Capt. Kova. Leicester are mercurial at best but can Chelsea build on the last two wins? Is this another 6 pointer? We wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan, Chair of the Chelsea Supporters' Trust, prolific Chelsea author and all round great bloke to look back at that rarest of things...A CHELSEA WIN!!!In part one we look back at a better performance in the 1-0 defeat of Leeds, bar the usual profligacy and a resort to Championship team tactics to hold on to the 1-0 lead. Talking of 'championship', why the lack of humour about a good old fashioned bit of gallows humour, something Chelsea supporters have been doing for years. And Chidge has found some shocking analysis of Chelsea's rubbish corners.In part two we applaud the performances of many of the players and ask if consistency of performance can be found in consistency of selection. Has a 1-0 win against Leeds given Potter a reprieve and it's remarkable what a win can do to cheer us all up and help the local economy judging by the busy Chelsea pubs after the game. JK and Chidge also report back on a fantastic afternoon spent with Paul 'Canners' Canoville at the Troubadour Club on Sunday afternoon.In part three we look ahead to the match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. What is Chidge's team selection? With it being advantage Dortmund will a Dortmund goal kill the tie? How will Chelsea score the (minimum) two goals needed to get through when they haven't scored two goals since Boxing Day? And if Chelsea get knocked out that will be the season over but will it be 'Aufwiedersehen Potter'? We wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman and Football.London Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to preview Chelsea v Leeds.In part one we discuss 'Potter's Presser', rue the latest injuries to Chelsea players and wonder why more pertinent questions are not asked in the pressers. We also discuss the announcement of the Fans Advisory Board and the latest on the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.In part two we preview the Chelsea v Leeds match. Chidge's team selection has a 'make do and mend' feel about it but he suggests a change in formation. Is this another must win match and another relegation 6 pointer? Do we fear a new manager bounce from Leeds? And Javi Gracia has form against Chelsea. We wrap the show up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to review another Chelsea match and another defeat, but this one, to Spurs, is indefensible. In part one, we look at Potter's team selection and bemoan Chelsea being incapabale of scoring. It seems an air of resignation has set in with the supporters. When we concede it's game over. Why are Chelsea so poor in adversity? No goals, no fight, no clue, it's a case of wash, rinse, repeat with nothing changing and we ask what’s the point?In part two, we ask why not play James and Chilwell at wing back, now we have 5 centre backs available? We discuss the strange rescinding of Ziyech's red card. Applaud Mount for being the only player who seems to get it and for showing some fight. We face up to the fact that 'it’s relegation form folks isn’t it' and why should we accept the process if the process is the wrong process? And for that matter, why should the owners?Happy days, not! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover and Football.London's Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to catch up on the Chelsea news and preview Spurs v Chelsea.In part one we give an appreciation of legendary football commentator, John Motson, who for many of us was the voice of football when we were growing up. Adam and JK report on Potter’s Presser and we ask what does Potter need to do to turn it round; what happens if he wins or loses next 3 matches and how much are Boehly and Co culpable for the current mess?In part two, Chidge reveals his team selection for the Spurs match. Should Potter go back to his Dortmund selection? Should Mount and James play as they get the himportance of the fixture. Will Conte's absence be agood or bad thing for Chelsea? Will beating Spurs help Potter in getting the fans on side and will he be able to get the players at it and up for it? We wrap up with out predictions for the match. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a dreadful defeat at home to bottom of the league Southampton.In part one we discuss an indefensible performance, devoid of inspiration. Did Potter make too many changes? Is no consistency of selection hampering progress and has Potter been hamstrung by the need to protect players coming back from injury. There was no pattern, no organisation, no finishing and no clue and all this against a Southampton team bottom of the league, with an awful record and no manager. Simply unacceptable. Arguably of more concern was the injury to Cesar Azpilicueta who recieved a terrible kick in the head thanks to a badly directed overhead kick. .Our best wishes go to 'Dave' for a speedy recovery.And Chidge & JK have come up with a couple of songs to cheer you up or depress you further...In part two we ask is Potters out of his depth; not elite level and not the leader or personality Chelsea needs? Is he wasting players? I.e., making them worse? He’s lost the match day support; if he loses to Spurs, Leeds and then BVB knock us out of the Champions' League, surely his position is untenable.We could argue he should go now but who could/should replace him - temporarily and/or permanently? And how much of this is on Boehly and Co? Are they stubborn or clueless? And a timely reminder that whilst it may be truly depressing on the pitch, off the pitch before and after remains as the main joy of following our club. The definition of a great day out ruined by 90 minutes of football. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan and from The Athletic, Liam Twomey to look back at Chelsea's defeat to Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the atch against Southampton on Saturday.In part one we discuss a horrible result, but a good performance and Mark’s experience of the Signal Iduna Park and the 'Yellow Wall'. Nine, nein, nein, as Chelsea just cannot put their chances away and the new boys and returnees beginning to make a difference and our hopes for the second leg. And Liam provides great insight with the media's view of Potter and his press conferences.In part two we discuss Chidge's team selection versus Potter's team selection. Saints are bottom, relegation bound, and have no manager – stop me if you’ve heard this before...We ask how do Chelsea solve their goal drought and we wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at the 1-1 draw against West Ham and ahead to Wednesday's Champions' League match away to Borussia Dortmund.In part one we discuss a promising start fading and dying; Felix looking the real deal; did Cheek and Fernandes work and why didn't Cucurella and Mudryk not work? And should we be worried by James not yet looking back to his best.In part two VAR screws us again and should Potter have reacted more aggressivley to it? Joe Cole thought so. With Chelsea's form still not good enough, there are signs of improvement but are we being unrealistically impatient with Ponderous Platitudinous Potter?And in Part three we preview the match against Borussia Dortmund, talking to Ben McFadyean who runs the Borussia Dortmund London Supporters Club.

We start with Chidge's Team selection and look at West Ham who have been in relegation form but are now improving just in time for the visit of Chelsea. Will Moyes' terrible record against Chelsea be a factor? What about Chelsea's awful away form this season? Chelsea's recent clean sheets show a sign of improvement with Potter perhaps building from the back but who can score the goals? If Chelsea win will we still be in the mix for Europe? And finally we give our predictions for the match. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at a frustrating 0-0 draw against noisy neighbours Fulham.In part one we discuss. We bemoan poor finishing again and ask are we one striker short of a picnic and if Havertz can't score then who canscore the goals? Fulham looked a team and Chelsea didn't. Did the new arrivals make this difficult and what is the on-pitch plan now? Meanwhile Enzo Fernandes looks a player and the defence is shaping up well with Silva and Badiashile developing a partnership, but why was Badiashile left out of the CL squad?In part two we discuss Cucurella and Ziyech infuriating again and why did Ziyech start given his failed move to PSG? But it was good to see Reece and Chilly back and Mudueke and Fofana looked promising. With Gallagher impressing again with good energy and forward motion, will Gallagher, Mount and Fernandes feature in the midfield more regulalarly? We wrap up asking how long all this is going to take to gel? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman and Football.London's Chelsea correspondent, Adam Newson, to reflect on Chelsea's stunning transfer window and preview the Chelsea v Fulham match.Chelsea are back. Boiling piss since 2003. We assess the new signings and ask has Potter got everything he needs? Is there now more pressure for top 4? How will Potter manage such a big squad and what are the risks? With Jorginho the only significant departure, we reflect on his up an down Chelsea career, oh, and what on earth happened with Ziyech?In part two, we preview the Chelsea v Fulham match, kicking off with Chidge's team selection. With the new signings and the buxx around Cobham and Stamford Bridge, the supporters will no doubt be expecting immediate impacts, but will patience required? Fulham's form has dipped in the last few week's while Chelsea have had a rest, can they turn this to their advantage or shoud we beware the curse of Willian? Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at the 0-0 against Liverpool at Anfield.On the show tonight, we discuss a better performance and an ok result. Chelsea shwoing signs of life, enhanced by a lovely cameo from new signing Mudryk. And with Chelsea looking better going forward is this down to increased confidence or are Potter's ideas beginning to sink in?In part two, we praise Silva AGAIN! Especially in helping out new signing Badashiale who has impressed on his two appearances so far, But when James and Chilwell return, will Potter revert to a back three and wing backs or keep the back four?With Mount continuing to struggle we ask is it time for him to have a break and analyse the burden he has been under and reflect on the other potential reasons for his dip in form.We also show appreciation for Cesar Azlilicueta reaching the milestone of his 500th match for Chelsea, a feat never achieved by an overseas player for Chelsea and only the 6th Chelsea player of all time to achieve the landmark.And with the possibility of Chelsea's season turning around with the return of James, Chilwell, Felix, Fofana, Kante, Zakaria and the additions of Mudryk, Madueke, Fofana with more signings to come hopefully.We wrap up in part three with this week's emials from our listeners.

But what about a right back, defensive midfielder and an out and out goalscorer? Plus does this mean Boehly's plan is coming together? What about FFP and when will we be getting the deadweights out?In part two we look ahead to Saturday's match against Liverpool. Chidge goes through his team selection and asks why have the media ignored the fact that Liverpool have been as bad as us?

Should we sack off the want aways and not good enoughs and play the youth and re-build properly?

Dean Mears, Dayne Whittle and Jonathan Kydd discuss another feeble performance this time versus 18th placed Forest at the 'World Famous City Ground' as the announcer called it where CFC threw away a one goal lead with a bizarre second half performance where they only had one shot and rarely entered the oppo's half of the field. They then discussed whether it was the players' fault or the manager or a combination of the two. Dean believed we'd beat Citeh on Thursday! But JK and Deano foresaw embarrassment. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan take a look back at the 2005-06 Chelsea season.In part two the boys pick up the season in January with Chelsea top of the league and 11 points clear of Man Utd. Confidence for a back-to-back Premier League title was understandably high together with the chance of a first 'double' for the club, adding an FA Cup and another tilt on the Champions' League having made the semi-finals in the previous two seasons.Chelsea made hard work of dispatching Huddersfield in the FA Cup round 3 before dropping their first points in the league at home to Charlton. A 1-1 draw in the FA Cup fourth round at Everton was followed by a 1-1 draw away to Villa. Three matches without a win having broken the club record of 10 consecutive wins beforehand? Was this a wobble?A comprehensive 2-0 defeat of Liverpool at home with Crespo outstanding, proved otherwise, and everything seemed back on track with a 4-1 thumping off Everton in the FA Cup replay. But a 3-0 defeat away to Middlesbrough was one of the shocks of the season and came out of nowhere and not the ideal preparation for the Champions League round of 16 tie against Barcelona,In the first leg, Chelsea were robbed by a terrible refereeing decision when Del Horno was sent off for 'being in Messi's way' and although Chelsea put in a brilliant performance when down to 10 men, Barcelona won 2-1. 58 home games and a first defeat in 90 minutes for Jose and only our 3rd home defeat in Europe. Of course this proved a mountain to climb in the second leg and Chelsea were duly knocked out by the eventual winners of the trophy.Before that Chelsea was rocked by the untimely death of club legend and 'King of Stamford Bridge' Peter Osgood. An emotionally charged match against Spurs gave everyone a chance to say farewell to Ossie and William Gallas' last minute winner rounded the day off perfectly. Chelsea entered April 14 points ahead of Liverpool and 15 ahead of Man Utd. Supporters were confidently weighing up when the title would be won. A superb performance beating West Ham having gone a goal down and reduced to 10 men all but confirmed matters and beating Man Utd, by then our nearest rivals with 3 matches to go would seal the title. Before that the matter of an FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool needed to be won. Thanks to a limp performance and some poor finishing, Liverpool knocked Chelsea out of another cup competition but a week later, Chelsea made amends with a Joe Cole inspired demolition of Man Utd to be crowned back-to-back Champions.   Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham and Football.London’s Chelsea correspondent, Adam Newson to look back at Chelsea’s 2-0 win against Bournemouth and ahead to Sunday’s match away to Nottingham Forest. In part one we discuss the short-lived return of Reece James and whether his importance to the side makes Chelsea a one-man team. Also, Zakaria doing a job for the team, is 4:3:3 the way forward and more shit refereeing.In part two we discuss the forthcoming transfer window: what is happening/will happen? Is it better to wait until the summer? We also look at the Behdad Eghbali interview with Sportico and ask who is he trying to kid?In part three we preview the Nottingham Forest v Chelsea match. Adam and JK report on the Potter Presser, Chidge presents his team selection and we discuss the history of this fixture which hasn’t been seen since 1999, before giving our match predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan take a look back at the 2005-06 Chelsea season.Chelsea entered their centenery season as Premier League Champions with a new kit and a new badge to celebrate it. Hopes were high that more trophies would be won this season with the 'Special One' at the helm, but could we be become back-to-back Champions?Chelsea secured their first trophy of the season in a 2-1 win against nemesis Arsenal in the Community Shield; notable mainly for Drogba scoring against Arsenal, in a final and bullying their defence in the process. Our defence of the title could not have started better with 7 wins, no goals conceded and 13 scored. By the end of September Chelsea were already 10 points clear of their nearest rivals, Man Utd, at the top of the table.The Champions League was proving a little more troublesome, with Chelsea in the same group as Liverpool, the current holders. While points were dropped at Anfield in a 0-0 draw, Chelsea turned up at Anfield a couple of days later in the league to inflict a 4-1 defeat on them. Liverpool’s biggest home defeat since 1969 and Chelsea’s biggest win at Anfield.The only blip in the first half of the season were away defeats to Real Betis in the Champions' League, a 1-0 away defeat to Man Utd and Charlton knocking us out of the Carling Cup on penalties. Typically, Jose claimed that our impregnable home form remained in tact as losing on penalties didn't count!December was negotiated expertly, including the first 'Double' over Arsenal for the first time in 36 years in a 2-0 win, the last time we would play at Highbury. Chelsea finished the year top of the league 11 points clear with 55 points, above Utd on 44 and equalling last season’s points tally and record at this stage of the season, with one draw and one defeat. Chelsea had played 38 games in 2005 and won 101 points a remarkable feat not told enough.   Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Chelsea author Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea's 2004-05 season.In part two, we pick up the story in January 2005. Under the management of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea were top of the league, 7 points clear with 55 points, the largest points tally at this stage in the PL ever, and were fighting for trophies on all fronts with qualification for the Champions' League round of 16 achieved with 13 points and a Carling Cup semi-final against Man Utd to look forward to in the New Year as well as the FA Cup.All eyes were on Stamford Bridge as we took on Man Utd in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final. A cagey 0-0 with Utd using every trick in the book was followed by a 2-1 win at Old Trafford to seal a place in the final at the Millenium stadium in Cardiff. The arrival of Abramovich and Mourinho notwithstanding, this was Chelsea's 12th cup semi-final in 12 seasons and the first time defeat had been inflicted on Alex Ferguson's Utd in a domestic semi-final.Back in the Premier League Chelsea passed the stern 'can they do it on a cold night in Blackburn' test standing up, literally to the physical intimidation meted out by Mark Hughes dirty side. Arguably this was the match that sealed the title for Chelsea, at least in terms of belief. February and March brought a plethora of high profile and must win matches which was to become the norm for Chelsea througout Abramovich's tenure. Newcastle knocked us out of the FA Cup, ending the pursuit of all four trophies. Barcelona beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Nou Camp in a controversial match where we had the upper hand until Drogba was sent off by Anders Frisk for a dubious second yellow. And in the space of a week, Chelsea defeated Liverpool in the Carling Cup final having gone 1-0 down after a Riise goal on 1 minute and rescued by a Steve Gerrard goal on 79 minutes, before Drogba and Kezman settled matters in a 3-2 win.March saw the return of Barcelona to Stamford Bridge and one of the greatest matches ever seen in the club's 100 year history as Chelsea stormed to a 3-0 lead inside 20 minutes only to be pegged back by a remarkable Ronaldinho goal which left the crowd silent in consternation, before John Terry ensured a 4-2 win on the night and a 5-4 win on aggregate. A quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich was Chelsea's reward and another classic played out in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, almost matching the Barcelona match for excitement and quality, with one of Frank Lampard's best goals for the club a highlight in a 4-2 win. Chelsea got the job done in the last match to be played at the Olympiastadion albeit with a couple of late goals from Bayern to cause more anxiety than we needed.Attention moved back to the Premier League. Would Chelsea win it against Fulham on the 50th anniversary to the day of our our first league title? Had we not drawn at home to Arsenal we would have, but we were destined to wait until the Bolton away match, just as Jose Mourinho had predicted months ago. The small matter of the club's second and consecutive Champions' League semi-final against Liverpool preceded Bolton. Thanks to a solitary ghost goal by Luis Garcia at Anfield, Chelsea were denied a final appearance again and our modern rivalry and enmity with Liverpool and Rafa Benitez was confirmed.It should have been crushing, but in truth it wasn't, because a few days earlier, Chelsea defeated Bolton thanks to two Frank Lampard goals to lift the Premier League for the first time in their history. Many of us never believed we'd see the day; tears were shed, friends were embraced and a massive party in the Kings Road ensued. Chelsea's greatest ever season? No doubt! Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Chelsea author Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea's 2004-05 season.On the 2nd June 2004, something very special happened at Chelsea. Jose Mourinho arrived proclaiming himself the 'Special One' and things at Chelsea would arguably never quite be the same again. Bolstered by the transfers of Petr Cech, Paulo Ferreira, Arjen Robben, Didier Drogba and Ricardo Carvalho hopes were high that Chelsea might go one better than the 2nd place in the league from the previous season and win their first Premier League title; their first league title for 50 years and in what would be their centenary year. The bouyant mood of the summer seemed justified as Chelsea remained unbeaten in all competitions until October 16th. But after the 1-0 away defeat to Man City, they picked up the pace again, knocking Arsenal off top spot on November 6th after a 1-0 win at home to Everton.Critics and naysayers accused Chelsea of being boring and functional as they ground out a lot of 1-0 wins, but once the flying wingers of Damien Duff and Arjen Robben returned from injury, Chelsea went up through the gears putting four past opponents regularly and playing scintillating football in the process. Equally important, they had not been beaten by title rivals such as Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool and had dismissed bottom half teams with relative ease, banana skins and glorious unpredictability seemingly banished by our 'special' manager.By the end of the year Chelsea were top of the league, 7 points clear with 55 points, the largest points tally at this stage in the PL ever, and were fighting for trophies on all fronts with qualification for the Champions' League round of 16 achieved with 13 points and a Carling Cup semi-final against Man Utd to look forward to in the New Year as well as the FA Cup.Historically, Chelsea supporters would be asking the question "what could possibly go wrong" with knowing cynicism but at the turn of the year many genuinely felt, absolutely nothing.

In a typically forthright and up front interview Kerry talks to Martin King & Stamford Chidge about his career at Chelsea; his relationship with Ken Bates; playing for England; his best goals and what it was like to hear 40,000 Chelsea supporters chanting “One Kerry Dixon” at Wembley when he was playing for Luton!With 193 goals to his name, Kerry Dixon is Chelsea’s third highest goal scorer of all time, behind only Bobby Tambling and Frank Lampard. Over nine seasons between 1983 and 1992, Kerry became one of the best loved players ever to appear for Chelsea.Following near relegation to the Third Division Kerry joined from Reading for £175,000 as John Neal sought to rebuild the team, Kerry scored 34 goals in his first season as Chelsea claimed the Second Division title.Scoring an iconic goal against Arsenal at Highbury in Chelsea’s first match back in the top flight, Kerry scored 36 goals to win the Golden Boot and took his Chelsea tally to 70 in just 101 games, earning a call up to the England squad in the process. Kerry was given a start against West Germany and responded by creating a goal for Bryan Robson before scoring two of his own as England beat the Germans for the first time in over a decade.A serious muscle injury in January 1986 hampered both Kerry and Chelsea’s tilt at winning the title and a mere two years later, Chelsea found themselves back in Division two. Although player unrest nearly led to Kerry’s departure, Chelsea and Kerry bounced back with Kerry scoring 25 league goals as he won the Second Division title for the second time. Kerry went on to score 26 goals on Chelsea’s return to Division One as we finished fifth, our highest position since 1970.In March 1992, Kerry’s 193rd, and final, goal in a Chelsea shirt was a a spectacular shot from the edge of the box to beat Norwich City. That summer he was sold for £575, 000 to SouthamptonBut that wasn’t quite the final moment in the love affair between Chelsea and Kerry Dixon. When Chelsea faced Luton Town and Wembley for the 1994 FA Cup semi-final, lining up at centre-forward for Luton that day was a certain Kerry Dixon. At the end of the match that Chelsea won 2-0, Chelsea supporters massed broke off from their celebrations to pay a final tribute to one of the club’s favourite sons, 40, 000 voices rightly proclaiming that there really was ‘only one Kerry Dixon’. A fitting tribute to a true Chelsea legend.With 193 goals in total to his name, Dixon is Chelsea’s third highest goal scorer of all time, behind only Bobby Tambling and Frank Lampard. He is also eighth in the club’s all-time appearances list. His two Second Division championship medals being his only honours with the club. Hosted on Acast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at Chelsea's third Premier League defeat in a row away to Newcastle.On the show tonight, in part one, we discuss Potter’s team selection, which I thought was ok; albeit the wrong formation. We also muse over Chelsea again stuck on the back foot, stuck in their own half, creating nothing. In a clueless performance with seemingly no confidence, understanding, tactical plan or ambition, we ask is this on Potter or the players?In part two, we ask if Potter has turned us in to New Brighton? Is he in fact Graham Potterfield? With Chelsea exhibiting relegation form: dare we think the unthinkable? And finally, we give an honest appraisal of Potter’s first 2 months in charge and ask where do we go from here, and what would we do if we were Todd Boehly?In part three we have loads of emails to read in this week's Chelsea FanCast Post Bag.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at Chelsea's 2-0 defeat away to Man City in the Carabao Cup and ahead to another tough match against Newcastle on Saturday.In part one we discuss a better performance against City but a poor result featuring Chelsea’s hardy perennials – profligacy & sloppiness, but the shining light was a super performance from 18 year old Lewis Hall. Is there a case for more academy players get a game and with one more game before the World Cup kicks off we give an appraisal of Graham Potter. We also have a look at the Chelsea players going to the World Cup, including Conor Gallagher, who pleasingly got selected for thr England squad.In part two, we look ahead to Saturday's match against Newcastle and Chidge reveals his team selection. We look at Chelsea's recent record at St James’ Park and Howe’s record v Chelsea. Saturday promises to be another very tough match with Newcastle riding high in third place and if Chelsea lose their fourth domestic match in a row, they might be in10th place by Monday; on the bright side, win it and we could be in 5th! With all that in mind, we discuss howwe see it going and wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at the defeat to Arsenal and ahead to wednesday night's Carabao Cup tie against Man City.On the show tonight, in part one, we discuss the Chelsea v Arsenal match; Chelsea still not being able to beat the press; the midfield being bullied by a much nastier Arsenal side than we’ve seen for years and the air of resignation hanging around. Was this match a fair reflection of where the two teams are at the moment? In part two, we ask is it old news that we’re not Chelsea anymore? Try and unravel the complicated narrative; ask is it time for a reality check? And ask is Potter lucky or unlucky?In part three we have a quick chat about the Champions’ League draw pitting us against Borussia Dortmund and we preview Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup match against Man City.

Chelsea continued to be profilgate albeit in a fairly comfortable win but who should Graham Potter be starting and who shouldn't and is there a case for starting players in their preferred positions? And who do we want/not want in the next round of the Champions' League?In part two we look ahead to Sunday's match against Arsenal; arguably Potters biggest test to date with the Gunners sitting at the top of the Premier League by 2 points. Chidge reveals his team selection and we ask is Arteta a template for how to manage a club in transition? Is this a must win for Potter to prove we can beat a big 6 rival and be in the top 4 before the world cup? And a defeat to Arsenal would mean we could lose all 3 games before the world cup – how big an issue would that be?We wrap up by discussing how do we see it going, complete with our predictions.
