The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1998-99 season.In part two, we pick up the season in January. Chelsea are 7th in the Premier League, their league form having suffered from rotation due to participation in the Champions' League. They faced Nottingham Forest in the 4th round of the FA Cup and were making good progress in the Champions League group stage 2.Chris Sutton had been firing blanks and Vialli shocked the football world with the signing in January of AC Milan's George Weah, a former World Footballer of the Year. Weah became an instant Chelsea cult hero by socring the winner against Spurs in the 87th minute to keeo our 10 year unbeaten run against them in tact.Chelsea's league form was still up and down but the FA Cup and Champions' League were a different story. Gillingham were dispatched 6-1 in the FA Cup quarter-final with John Terry scoring his first Chelsea goal and despite defeats to Olympique Marseille and Lazio, a superb 3-1 win against Feyenoord with some of the best football we'd seen from a Chelsea side was enough to set up a mouthwatering and daunting Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.The 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea scoring 3 goals in 8 minutes will go down as one of the best performances seen at the Bridge. Could Chelsea reach the semi-final of the Champions' League at the first attempt? They had given themselves every chance.It all went horribly wrong in an intimidating Camp Nou where having gone 2-0 down, Flo scored in the 60th minute with a goal that would send Chelsea to the semi-final. We were only 7 minutes away when Barcelona scored the goal that took it to extra-time and after Babayaro was sent off, Barcelona ran out comfortable 5-1 winners (6-4 on aggregate).But the season would still end on a high after two Gus Poyet goals helped Chelsea defeat Newcastle in the FA Cup semi-final and Robbie DiMatteo scored his second FA Cup final goal as Chelsea beat Aston Villa 1-0 to lift the FA Cup for the third time in the last final at the Old Wembley.

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1998-99 season.This season saw Chelsea compete in the Champions' League for the first time. With Gianluca Vialli retiring, Chris Sutton was bought from Blackburn Rovers for £10 million and it was hoped that he would provide the goals to mount a challenge on the elusive Premier League title and deep in to Europe.With the addition of French World Cup winning Captain, Didier Deschamps, Chelsea had a squad full of foreign world class talent and many believed they were set up to do well. The season began with a 4-0 rout of Sunderland and Gus Poyet's stunning goal which augered well.In the first group stage of the Champions' League, Chelsea proved they were at home in Europe's elite competition with impressive draws against AC Milan, home and away and a staggering 5-0 away victory over Galatasary. But Vialli was finding squad rotation difficult and after the highs of european competition, League form suffered with poor results against Watford, Liverpool, Everton, Leeds and most notably Arsenal at home thanks to a 15 minute hat-trick by Kanu.At least Chelsea beat European Champions and treble winners Man Utd 5-0 and even the out of form and out of his depth Chris Sutton scored.In part two we continue the season from January all the way to Wembley via the Camp Nou...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver and Mark Meehan to look back at another ritual beating of Spurs!On the show tonight, in part one, we look at Tuchel’s 4:1:4:1 system and ask does it solve the attacking issues.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd look back at the 1-1 draw against Brighton and look ahead to another crunch match against rivals Spurs. Adam Newson from Football.London joins us in part one to look back at the Brighton match. Was the lacklustre draw down to just a poor performance, or was it due to physical and mental fatigue as Tuchel claimed? After the spat between Lukaku and Ziyech are we talking bad apples or a serious rift in the camp? Has Tuchel exacerbated the problem re-enforcing to the players that they are tired but overplaying some? And how worried are we about Arsenal & Spurs having games in hand?

Sam Inkersole from Football.London joins us in part one to look back at the Spurs game where the bit part players like Saul, Sarr and Ziyech really stepped up in a dominant win over shambolic Spurs.

But it was not enough to create chances and actually score though.In part two we acknowledge that Wolves have been a tough nut to crack recently and commend Chelsea's battling performance under difficult circumstances.

Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan and Adam Newson from Football.London to look back at the 1-1 draw against Everton and ahead to the match against Wolves on Sunday.A failure to finish and defensive errors cost us again in the 1-1 draw against Everton. Does this mean that squad players such as Barkley, Saul, Pulisic and Alonso are not up to it? How culpable was Tuchel? Should the injuries and the circumstances around Covid be taken into account? Does Matt Law have a point about Chelsea's lack of mental strength and poor decision making and what about contract uncertainty over key players?We discuss today's press conference with Adam and ask is player availability an issue with covid uncertainty? With Jorginho and Loftus-Cheek injured will Kante & Kovacic start? And should games be going ahead at all due to Omicron transmission rate?

The Chelsea FanCast looks back, season by season, to 50 Years of Chelsea history from 1970 to the present day.Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Mark Meehan to look back at the 1998-99 season.In Pt 2 we pick up the season in January with Chelsea top of the Premier League and hopes high for their first league title since 1955.Chelsea got past Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup 3rd round, helped by a flying hot dog but their unbeaten run came to an end away to Arsenal. The 2-1 home win against Liverpool will forever be remembered for the spat between Graeme Le Saux and Robbie Fowler but goals were drying up in the absence of Gus Poyet and Tore Andre Flo through injury. Chelsea wobbled in March with an unlucky defeat to Man Utd in the FA Cup and then an unfortunate 1-0 home defeat to West Ham. But this was a mere precursor to what happened in April when Real Mallorca knocked then out of the European Cup Winners Cup semi-final and then a 2-2 draw at home to Leicester courtesy of a Steve Guppy goal all but ended the title challenge.The season seemed like a massive disappointment going so close to winning the title and finishing 3rd just 4 points behind Man Utd and being knocked out at the quarter final of both the League and FA Cups and the semi-final of the Cup Winners Cup. But in truth only 3 league defeats was our best ever performance to date and only 6 clubs had ever done this in a season. Crucially for next season it was Chelsea's first Champions League qualification; their second equal highest finish ever; highest average attendance since 1971/72; most clean sheets and lowest number of goals conceded in the top flight.But the feeling festered that maybe Chelsea had blown their best chance of a league title in decades. If only Casaraghi, Poyet and Flo had not been injured? If only Vialli had bought another striker in January? If only Chelsea hadn't dropped points against Blackburn, West Ham, Boro, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester.If only...it was that kind of season. Hosted on Acast.
