'Analyse That!' Chelsea FanCast #1000

Stamford Chidge interviews Chelsea author Neil Fitzsimon about his new book 'Rebirth of the Blues'.Having chronicled Chelsea's 1970 FA Cup winning side in 'Rhapsody in Blue' and Eddie McCreadie's promotion side in 'A Deeper Shade of Blue', Neil has turned his sights to the period between 1977-1985.One of the nost turbulent periods in Chelsea's history, it was a period when Chelsea narrowly escaped relegation into the Third Division in 1983, before being resurrected under the management of John Neal when the likes of Kerry Dixon, Pat Nevin and others catapulted the club to new glories. The next year, Chelsea took the Second Division by storm with their new brand of quicksilver flowing football to make a triumphant return to the top flight as champions. But Rebirth of the Blues is more than just a chronicle of football history. It’s a gripping memoir of a Chelsea fan growing up in the late 1970s to mid-80s and his experiences of living through the political unrest of Thatcherite Britain when excess and greed were seen as ideals to be admired. Fitzsimon recalls his tentative first steps with girlfriends, the changing face of the music scene and what it was like to be single and one of the lads.You can buy the book here Hosted on Acast.

'Rebirth of the Blues' Chelsea FanCast #999

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd (from his hospital bed!), Clayton Beerman and Dayne Whittle to review the last match of the season against Newcastle.And breathe. Yes, Chelsea's worst season for nearly 30 years is finally consigned to the dustbin where it belongs. We look back at the last match against Newcastle, where Chelsea did ok against a Newcastle side clearly sipping cocktails on the beach. The usual profligacy in front of goal by Chelsea; why break the cycle eh lads? Of more interest was who might be playing their last game? Azpi with a superb banner to honour him? Loftus-Cheek who gave the "I'm off" clap to all four stands in the ground? Mason Mount who looked tearful in the lap of appreciation.We know Frank is off and he got a well deserved warm send off. But it's now "Hello, hello, Pochettino; Pochettino!" as our new manager has been announced. Interestingly one of his first decisions may have been to refuse to put an offer in on Felix who is set to return to Atletico Madrid. We wrap up part one with a chat about a fantastic evening at the 1983/84 re-union at Under the Bridge on Saturday night.In part two we welcome back Garry Hayes and Ceri Levy from The Chels to talk about the next installment of their superb documentary podcast series on Chelsea from the Hoddle era to Munich, called The Blueprint. The next episodes are available from May 31st from wherever you get your podcasts. Make sure you check them out. The Blueprint Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Over and Out” Chelsea FanCast #998 

Stamford Chidge &amp; Jonathan Kydd look back at another painfuil Chelsea defeat, away to Man Utd and ahead to the last match of the season at home to Newcastle Utd.In part one we discuss a better 1st half performance but Keystone Kop defending and inability to finish kill us again. Midfield looked better – well done Chuk and Hall impressed again, but in defence, Fofana instigated the collapse in the second half with two poor mistakes. At least Felix scored a good consolation goal. Are there parallels with the 4-0 defeat at Old Trafford meted out in his first match in charge in 2019? And how valid are his comments about poor attitude from training ground to pitch? And respect to the superb Chelsea away support, who out sang Utd from start to finish.In part two we look ahead to the match against Newcastle United. Will Frank play 'da Yoof' again or go for experience in his last match at the helm? While Chelsea has been breaking all the wrong records this season, they do have an imperious record at home v Newcastle with only 1 defeat at home in PL history. We ask whether Newcastle will still be hungry or on the beach? Are we worried about their goal threat (2.5 goals per game on the road) and can we expect more shit housery?Do we expect a toxic atmosphere at the Bridge if we lose again? And what can we expect from the Lap of Appreciation? We wrap up with our predictions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #997 

Stamford Chidge &amp; Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan to look back at surprisingly unsurprising defeat away to Man City and ahead to Man Utd this week.In part one Franks team changes beg more questions: is Frank under orders, down to the bare bones or just clueless? More Keystone Kops defending cost us again. In fairness, we didn’t play too badly as in we didn’t get hammered!! But its not really good enough, is it? And why having been held back from the England U20 squad did Chukwuemeke only come on with 9 minutes to go? The season really needs to end doesn't it?In part two we look ahead to Thursday night's match against Man Utd kicking off with Chidge's team selection. Will Frank heed his advice? Very probably not!! Utd will still have one eye on Liverpool who have a better goal difference, if Utd lose against us and Fulham at home (Liverpool away v Southampton). Utd only lost once at home in the league this season – v Brighton 1st match. Given this dare we hope for a win for Chelsea?In part three we wrap up the show with a couple of listener emails. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Tammy’s Double Whammy” Chelsea FanCast #469

Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd and Tony Glover to report back on a topsy turvey week for Chelsea with a 4-0 defeat away to Bournemouth followed by a 5-0 thumping of Huddersfield.On the show tonight we discuss the seeds of another potentially great Chelsea partnership up front with Hazard and Higuain scoring two goals each in the 5-0 defeat of Huddersfield.In part two we discuss Kante and Barkley catching the eye as well as Hazard and Higuain, but with Chelsea so inconsistent at the moment, are we just becoming flat track bullies? Will a very testing February be too much for Sarri?In part three we look back at the 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Have Sarri’s criticisms of the players mentality and motivation been misconstrued? In spite of bouncing back against Huddersfield do many of the current issues with Sarri, the players and the Board remain? And will it ultimately boil down to whether or not Sarri can get Chelsea in to the top four.Finally, Jonathan has some great emails to read out this week and I wrap up with the usual Parish notices.
