Chelsea will welcome Burnley to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon before the international break that will stall Premier League matches until 10th September. Chelsea are fresh off an EFL Cup victory over Bristol Rovers, 3-2, on Tuesday afternoon, with Michy Batushuayi, among other youth players making an appearance, thriving against the League One side. Antonio […]
Well, that didn’t take long! Just hours after submitting a ‘very high’ bid for AC Milan centreback Alessio Romagnoli, Chelsea have seen their offer rejected by the Italian side. Sky Sports are reporting that the bid was £30 million. It is understood that the Rossoneri are unwilling to sell the Italian international this window, just one […]
Chelsea picked up three points late on for the second time in as many games this season, as the Blues secured a 2-1 win over Watford at Vicarage Road. The first half ended scoreless, with Chelsea controlling most of the play. Cesc Fabregas was clearly needed from the start of second half, as Watford’s man-marking on […]
Three points to start the season can only mean one thing: a new episode of the Carefree Blues Podcast, co-hosted by myself and Amadi Thiam. It was our first episode in the third season of the show. In this marathon of an episode, we discussed the match against West Ham in great detail – including […]
What a match, aye? Chelsea opened their 2016/17 campaign with a 2-1 win over West Ham on Monday night. It was Antonio Conte’s first Premier League win. It took the Blues 10 minutes or so, but they were finally able to settle in and really started to take control of the match around the mid-way […]
Garry Hayes, who covers Chelsea for Bleacher Report UK among other sites, will be releasing a book on 15th August titled John Terry: Fifty Defining Fixtures. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that this book isn’t an autobiography. Neither Terry nor Chelsea Football Club were involved or provided input on this book, which was […]
Ever since Romelu Lukaku left Stamford Bridge in 2012, there have always been rumours of his return. Everton have reportedly slapped a £75million price tag on the former Blue, and Chelsea have already had a £57 million bid rejected from the Merseyside club. Transfers hardly ever seem to go over smoothly, especially when Chelsea are […]
Chelsea continued in the International Champions Cup on Saturday evening, losing to Real Madrid, 3-2, at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. Attendance for the match at Michigan Stadium – widely called ‘the Big House’ in the U.S. – was 105,826. It was a record attendance for a Chelsea match. The Blues got off to a […]
Chelsea continued their winning form early Thursday morning, collecting a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the International Champions Cup. The match marked the first ICC game for both teams, with Chelsea set to travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a match against Real Madrid on Saturday at Michigan Stadium. The goal was scored in the […]
Following Saturday’s disappointing result against Rapid Vienna, Chelsea travelled to Wolfsberg to square off against WAC RZ Pellets, collecting a 3-0 victory – Antonio Conte’s first as Chelsea manager. The match started off with plenty of end-to-end action, with Chelsea creating more chances and looking more lethal in the attacking third. A couple of mental […]
Antonio Conte managed his first pre-season match as Chelsea head coach on Saturday evening, a 2-0 loss to Rapid Vienna as they opened their aesthetically pleasing stadium, Allianz Stadion. It didn’t take long for the Chelsea back line to show shades of last season, as Joelinton gave the hosts a 1-0 lead just eight minutes […]
Saturday got off to a great start, as the team officially announced the signing of N’Golo Kante. It’s a shame that Saturday afternoon’s performance in Austria put a slight damper on the day. The Blues unofficially opened the Antonio Conte era with a 2-0 loss to Rapid Vienna in their beautiful new stadium, the Allianz […]
