‘The Chels Strikes Back’ Chelsea FanCast #1132

Season 16, Ep. 1132

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Gate 17's finest, to look back at the draw against Villa and ahead to Spurs on Thursday night.


In part one we look back at the draw against Villa, arguably our best performance of the season, where we showed the fight, passion, and good football lacking against Arsenal. Poch’s half-time tweak moving the Poodle inside, worked well. And we shoudl have won it had VAR not intervened to deny Disasi a winning goal. We ask VAR what is it good for?


Moises was a Kante like revelation but we still need a DM and it’s not Enzo. Reece James anyone? Gallagher steps up again – Clearlake’s folly if they sell him. Mudryk MIA again – should he be sold/loaned? Poch showing some fight at last. And finally Thiago Silva: Obrigado E Adeus.


In part two, we look ahead to Thursday night's match against Spurs. Chidge gives his team selection and reveals we are down to the bare bones. Can we maintain the standard? Playing Villa on Saturday was not a bad warm up for Spurs. Spurs are more bonkers than us butare dangerous. Can we exploit their high line? Will they be out for revenge? Will the players and manager get the importance? At the end of the day, we simply can’t lose to them.


We look back at some of our favourite Chelsea v Spurs matches at the Bridge and wrap up with our predictions.

He also learns to referee himself, experiencing first-hand the speed and scrutiny that come with every call.Through defining matches and controversial decisions, he examines the influence of VAR, how referees judge fouls, and the excruciatingly fine margins between control and chaos.And he looks into the issues between Chelsea and Anthony Taylor with a little help from Chidge, JK and Dan Silver!You can purchase the book on Amazon here
