And with a superb atmosphere, it was a timely reminder of what football is about; suffering the lows to enjoy the highs.With Chelsea facing Brighton in Sussex-by-the Sea on Sunday, we beat them 4-0 last time out, but Brighton may not be push overs this season.

With City visiting this weekend, has Sarri raised the white flag? What is it about Blackouts, mentality and leadership and why Alonso and not Emerson.While the 2-1 defeat to Wolves was beyond disappointing, Chelsea actually played quite well and had they put away the chances they had it would have been a different result. But, the lack of cohesion after Wolves scored is clearly very worrying.The same could be said about the Fulham match where had it not been for Loftus Cheek scoring after coming on as a sub, we may have seen a similar result as we did at Molineaux.Ryan Dellinger from North Carolina, USA, joins us in the studio to talk about supporting Chelsea from across the pond.

Evocative and heartfelt, funny and honest; from defeat at Queens Park Rangers to defeat at Zaragosa, via Tottenham, York, Fulham, York, Everton, a 6-0 defeat at Rotherham and many more. He tells us what it was actually like to travel to away games 30-40 years ago when heavy police escorts were the norm, and real ingenuity was needed to get a pre-match pint. (You can buy Neil's book from Amazon or from the cfcuk stall)In part four, we have a couple of emails for Jonathan to read; we look at the 'Americanisation' of Football and give a tribute to Joe Cole who retired last week and we have our usual Chelsea Specials.

Chelsea FanCast on Love Sport Radio - the only 100% Chelsea show on the radio!

And with qualification secured and the job done, will Sarri look to rest players in the final group match?We have an interview with Neil 'Smiffy' Smith, author of "Where Were You When We Were Shocking", who's first Chelsea match was in 1966, since when he has been to over 2,000 matches.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea, Kerry Dixon, to look back at Chelsea's 3-1 win against Crystal Palace and ahead to the Europa Cup match against Bate Borisov and Sunday's Premier League clash against Everton.Chelsea finally got their just deserts against Crystal Palace on Sunday but the South Londoners didn't make it easy and the match was only really settled by Eden Hazard coming on as a sub. Kerry was encouraged by Morata scoring two goals and putting himself about a bit, but still thinks it's too early to pass judgement on the Spaniard.With Sarri's Chelsea pushing Man City hard and still to be beaten in any competition, Kerry believes that as well as the quality of football improving, Sarri has generated a great team spirit.Looking ahead to Bate Borisov, several key players have been rested including three quarters of the defence and Alvaro Morata, however, Hazard, Kante and Jorginho who probably need a rest have made the trip. Kerry believes that whoever Sarri picks should be capable of beating Bate pretty much ensuring qualification to the last 32. Hopefully Ruben Loftus Cheek will get another chance to impress.Everton visit the Bridge on Sunday and although they had a poor start to the season, Silva their new manager seems to be getting them performing much better recently. Another opponent not to be taken lightly, Kerry still believes that Chelsea will have enough to beat Everton and keep the unbeaten run going. Hosted on Acast.

Kante mentally ready; the good start being unexpected; Gary Cahill is the Captain; Barkley is important and Ruben Loftus Cheek has improved but needs to keep improving & won't go on loan. Looking back at the Carabao Cup match against Derby County, we discuss the great reception for Frank Lampard & Jody Morris; a bonkers match where Derby played well and were unlucky not to win. Was the dodgy defending from Emerson, Cahill, Christensen, Zappacosta a question of being not good enough or just rusty? Are Frank & Jody a future Chelsea management team? We have former Chelsea player and Manager, John Hollins on the phone to share his memories of colleague Ken Shellito who sadly passed away at the age of 78 this week. Ken, one of 'Docherty's Diamonds', played for Chelsea from 1959-1965 and also managed Chelsea from 1977-1978.Chelsea Chadder joins us on the phone to talk about his new book '100 Memorable Matches' delving in to some of Chelsea's greatest and not so great matches from 1905 to 2018.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon to look back to the wins against Derby County and Burnley and look ahead to this weekends match against Crystal PalaceThere was a great reception for Frank Lampard & Jody Morris as Chelsea took on Derby County in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday in a somewhat bonkers match – Derby played well and were unlucky not to win. Was this in part due to some dodgy Chelsea defending with the B team defence of Emerson, Cahill, Christensen and Zappacosta - are they not good enough or just rusty?On the plus side we had more minutes for Loftus Cheek and Willian continuing his recent good form. What did Kerry think of the performances of Mason Mount & Tomori?With Chelsea still unbeaten in all games and Bournemouth next in the quarter finals, can we smell another trophy? How important is it for Sarri?Was it performance of the season against Burnley or were Burnley just poor? Should we be considered serious title challengers?Did the win against Burnley prove that Chelsea can play well, score and win without Hazard? With Chelsea playing Crystal Palace on Sunday, we hope that Hazard will be fit. The rest of the team picks itself but will Barkley to start ahead of Kovacic?Finally Chidge and Kerry discuss the need to keep the unbeaten run going; keep pressure on at the top and show no complacency. Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs could all drop points this weekend and we have tougher games against Everton at home and spurs away next.Apologies, but there is a technical fault on the recording this week with an echo on Kerry's contribution.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon to pick up from last weekend's victory over Arsenal and look ahead to Sunday's match against Newcastle.Kerry and Chidge ponder the exciting start to Chelsea's season but err on the side of patience as to where it might take the side with question marks about the defence. Morata's goal will do wonders for his confidence but it was Alonso and Hazard's cameo which caught the eye. Chidge asks what does Chelsea need to do to keep Eden Hazard - perhaps making him Captain?Looking ahead to Newcastle on Sunday, they have been something of a bogey side for the Blues with our last win at St James' Park coming in 2011.Hopefully Hazard will start in what Kerry expects to be much the same team selected for the Arsenal match.

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd, Clayton Beerman and Joe Tweedie to look back at the frenetic 3-2 win by Chelsea against Arsenal.On the show tonight we’ll be discussing Chelsea’s bonkers defeat of Arsenal, relive the excitement but wonder whether it would have been as much fun had we lost?In part two we ask can Chelsea keep up the pressing for 90 minutes? Are the defensive frailties a concern and should Kante resume the role he is so good at? And are we all getting a bit carried away with it all after just two matches.In part three, we have emails for Jonathan to read out on the captaincy; the low down on Kovacic from a Croatian; how a young man from Mumbai found Chelsea and what are the roots of the ‘match going fools’ v ‘armchair warriors’ twitter wars between Chelsea fans.In part four we have a roundup of Chelsea supporter news and if we have time we’ll do more Q&A with the mixlr live audience, also known as the Chelsea FanCast confessional.

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Mark Worrall join Aaron Paul to round up the Chelsea week and look ahead to the Chelsea v Arsenal match.The boys ask "what's the Sarri so far" and do they agree with his assertion that “in two months we can be a very good team."Will Kante's new role work? Is it a waste considering he’s the best defensive midfielder in the world? And what about Morata v Giroud – who should start? Morata is Sarri’s man but has no confidence so could Hazard be an option up front?With news of La Liga looking to play games in America, we ask how concerned should we be that the Premier League follow suit. As Chelsea face Arsenal on Saturday we ask is there anything to worry about and just to make sure we talk to Suburban Gooner for his take on the match as well as making our own predictions - how will it pan out, what’s key?Finally we ask who should be Chelsea’s new Director of Football.All this plus three new Chelsea songs accompanied by Mark Worrall's mythical 'stylophone' Hosted on Acast.

Chelsea Legend Kerry Dixon is back for the new season of weekly podcasts with Stamford Chidge. On today's show Kerry and Chidge look back at Chelsea's 3-0 win against Huddersfield and ahead to Chelsea's first home match of the season against Arsenal on Saturday.Kerry gives his thoughts on Maurizio Sarri's start as Chelsea manager and how long it will take for the players to adapt to his style of football. We discuss Kante's new role in the side and what Jorginho brings to it.With apparently 3 players up for the left midfield position, will Barkley, Loftus Cheek or Kovacevic make the cut? And what chance do Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abrahams have of making it in to the Chelsea side.With two new managers at the helm of both clubs, Chelsea v Arsenal this Saturday may be harder than usual to call. Should Sarri start Morata or Giroud up front and has Kerry changed his view on Morata?Kerry explains why it was so important for Eden Hazard to stay at Chelsea and why he is the man to make the difference. Finally Chidge and Kerry reveal their prediction for the match. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
