1905: The Chelsea FC Podcast

That’s more like it. A sharp start, a bit of huffing and puffing, then a proper grown-up win. Gusto got his first-ever goal, Estevão lit up the Bridge again, and Garnacho ran the show — direct, fearless, electric. We get into his performance, the Enzo–Caicedo partnership, and what a settled back four could mean for this team. Plus: a word on Delap, some love for Trev, and how far this side could actually go. Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chelsea poster from Graficona⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chris Sheen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Kevin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Another bipolar Chelsea night in Europe. Chris and Joe get into the tinkering: too many changes, no rhythm, and a centre-back carousel that keeps inviting trouble. Big-picture chat on the Champions League league phase and how this result ramps up the pressure for Barcelona, Atalanta and Napoli. Plus the case for a settled pairing at the back, why Estevão has to start, and how much this team misses Cole Palmer’s coldness. Then it’s Wolves at the Bridge — caretaker bounce or routine home win? What we need: less roulette, more certainty, three points.

A proper derby job. Chelsea went to Three Point Lane and looked… mature. Controlled, compact, and nasty in all the right ways. Could’ve been four or five, but one was enough. Chris and Joe get into the game plan: the set-piece tweaks, Sanchez owning his box, and a back four that finally looked like a unit. Caicedo hunted the opener like a man possessed, Enzo ran the tempo, and João Pedro delivered the moment — plus a handful he’ll want back. Spurs were miles off it, but this was about Chelsea acting like a grown-up side in a big game. Attention turns to Europe and then Wolves at the Bridge — Six wins in seven, time to keep the standards and avoid more Sunderland's.

Pure carnage at Molineux — all swagger, then squeaky bums. Chelsea blitz to a 3–0 lead with Andrey Santos running the show, Gittens electric with two assists and an outrageous Estevão chip — then spend the second half surviving the storm. Set pieces, long throws, panic in the box… and discipline out the window again with Delap’s double yellow. Jorgensen jittery, game management missing, but the Blues scrape through. Attention turns to Spurs: Frank’s set-piece threat vs our soft spot, why Santos and Estevão should start, and how Sanchez can help cut the chaos.

Chelsea somehow manage to lose at home to Sunderland. Garnacho scores early, but it’s the same old story: no control, no ideas against the low block, and then a joke of a goal to throw it away late. Chris and Joe get into the defending on the winner, the lack of urgency after going ahead, and why Stamford Bridge never feels safe at 1–0. There’s talk on Neto not squaring it, João Pedro going missing, Guiu struggling to get a touch, and how much this team clearly needs Cole Palmer. Then it’s Wolves in the cup, Spurs on the weekend, and the bigger question: are we actually just in another scrap for top four?

About as close to a perfect Champions League night as you’re going to get. Chelsea smash Ajax 5–1, three different teenagers on the scoresheet, and plenty of players rested up too. Chris and Joe take it all in: the early red card and instant opener, Enzo and Estêvão sharing pens like it’s five-a-side, Mark G getting off the mark. We get into Estêvão’s swagger, Gittens growing in confidence, and why this squad suddenly feels deep instead of thin. There’s love for Reggie Walsh - 17 going on 27 - and a bit less love for Tosin after that clumsy penalty. We talk rotation, rest, and why nights like this matter if you’re serious about going deep in Europe. Then it’s on to Sunderland at the weekend. Are Chelsea finally settling into themselves? Is Marisca quietly cooking? And are we… starting to trust this team again?

Chelsea win 3–0 at the City Ground with a big second half performance. This one belonged to Cobham. Reece James, on his 200th appearance, led by example - bombing on, scoring, and setting the tone. And 19-year-old Josh Acheampong marked his first Chelsea goal with a header right in front of the away end. Two of our own, both massive. We get into the injuries, why Josh should keep his place, and the discipline stuff that’s still costing us. Clean sheet probably flatters us, but three away and a bit of swagger back. Ajax on Wednesday, Sunderland at the weekend. Momentum time.

International break but no let-up: Chris and Joe are in the studio asking the big one - what actually makes football fun? We get into pragmatism vs purity, Mourinho’s Anfield masterclass, sterile possession, and why a bit of sh*thousery can be glorious when it wins you points. There’s a loan watch, too. Strasbourg’s youngsters catching the eye, Anselmino’s stop-start, the Jackson question, and a look at Giovanni Quenda lighting it up before his summer arrival — the Estevão pathway all over again? Chris also takes the goal-music debate to the club — emails, replies, guidelines, and a plea to keep the celebration organic (or at least delayed). Fans are split; we chew through both sides. Then it’s Forest away on Saturday lunchtime: first game back, a rare post-break advantage for Chelsea, and the need to back up Liverpool with a grown-up three points.

Bedlam at the Bridge. A last-gasp winner from Estevão and the limbs in the Matthew Harding were pure, unfiltered joy. Chris and Joe talk through the dread at that patched-up back line to praise for a front-foot Chelsea who pressed, believed and went again. Maresca’s touchline sprint felt like a line in the sand; the manager out-thought Liverpool and wore it. We get into Enzo’s orchestration, Reece stepping in at centre-back to calm the storm, and why we looked like a proper team again. Big-picture chat too: belief before the international break, injured players celebrating together, and the need to turn this into a run when we’re back.

It wasn't pretty, but Chelsea have their first Champions League win in two and a half years. Chris and Joe break down the Benfica grind: Caicedo’s near-perfect passing, Neto’s menace, and why Garnacho looked ready while Gittens… didn’t. We get into Badiashile’s mixed bag, Gusto being targeted, and how Reece settled the chaos when he came on. Then it’s Liverpool on Saturday: selection headaches at centre-back, Lavia watch, and the case for Estêvão when one moment of magic might be the difference.

Chris and Joe break down a deflating afternoon at Stamford Bridge as Brighton extend their bogey-team status with a 3–1 win. After yet another red card collapse, they pick apart the tactical decisions, defensive chaos, and worrying lack of leadership that defined the defeat. There’s Roland’s take on why Chelsea’s captaincy problem is bigger than just Reece James, plus reflections on the growing pressure on Maresca ahead of Benfica and Liverpool. It’s raw, frustrated, and a little bit sad - but we’re here, as always, trying to make sense of where Chelsea go from here. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

A win, but not much else to shout about. Chris and Joe look back on a cup tie that felt more like survival than progress, with Chelsea scraping past Lincoln after another chaotic start. They talk Jørgensen’s horror show in goal, Fofana’s worrying rustiness, and Enzo’s heavy-legged display. Plus, early verdicts on Hato, Gittens, and Garnacho as the new boys get their chance. There’s also reflection on the sponsor saga, how the Cole Palmer injury could reshape Chelsea’s season. Finally, they pick their XI for Brighton and look at how we can beat the Seagulls.

Well, it was fun for 5 minutes wasn't it... In this episode, we try to make sense of a sodden Old Trafford night that started with a rash Sanchez red and spiralled from there. We talk Maresca’s call to go ultra-defensive, the subs that sucked out our outlet, and the set-piece chaos that gifted United control. We also zoom out: what this says about Chelsea’s game management, why a top goalkeeper and centre-back still feel non-negotiable, and what needs to change before Lincoln and Brighton. Therapy, and tough love - straight from Gate 13. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Chris and Joe break down Chelsea’s 3–1 defeat in Munich - from defensive lapses and schoolboy errors to Palmer’s swagger and Sanchez keeping the score respectable. They talk Gusto’s bright performance, Enzo’s tired legs, and why Tosin is running out of excuses. There’s praise for Andrey Santos off the bench, a debate on squad rotation, and plenty of referee rage. And with Manchester United up next, the lads look at what Enzo Maresca should change, who deserves a start, and why Old Trafford is long overdue a Chelsea win. All that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Well, that was frustrating. Chris and Joe relive the late sting of Brentford away, where Caicedo and Palmer’s brilliance should’ve sealed it… until the 94th-minute lapse in concentration. They dig into defensive worries, questionable selections, and why Brentford have become a bogey side. There’s discussion on Tosin, Trev, and Sánchez, plus the strange striker situation. And then - attention turns to Bayern. Can Chelsea shake off the Brentford hangover and make a statement on our Champions League return? Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
