The Premier League Hall of Fame was announced in 2020, with the first inductions taking place in 2021. It was created to recognise players who have made an exceptional impact on the league since its formation in 1992, with several Chelsea legends among those honoured. This article will look at the former Blues who have […]
Chelsea’s modern era can be measured in silverware, but the cleaner reading comes from roles. John Terry set the defensive temperature, Frank Lampard changed what a Premier League midfielder could score, Didier Drogba gave the club a final-day striker, Petr Cech turned clean sheets into routine, and Eden Hazard carried the ball when matches became […]
Chelsea’s former record goalscorer, Bobby Tambling, has sadly passed away at the age of 84. Tambling scored 202 goals for the club; a milestone that stood for nearly five decades until it was broken by Frank Lampard in 2013. He led the line for the first Chelsea side to really enjoy notable success in the […]
It’s a World Cup year, which means that once again a selection of Chelsea players will be involved in the summer showpiece. There have been some surprises, with Cole Palmer cut from the England squad in favour of Noni Madueke – a decision that has raised more than one eyebrow. Levi Colwill is another who […]
Chelsea have spent fortunes on players who flopped spectacularly, yet somehow also pulled off deals that look more genius with every passing year. The difference between the two is rarely the price tag. It comes down to fit, timing, and the willingness to let a player do what he actually does best. Frank Lampard: The […]
Chelsea and the rest of the Premier League had to watch on as Arsenal celebrated winning the title on Tuesday night. Bournemouth held Manchester City to a draw, and so, without kicking a ball themselves, Mikel Arteta’s current crop of Arsenal players ended the Gunners’ long, long wait for title success. It had been 22 […]
Xabi Alonso took the reins at Chelsea as the club’s new manager in May 2026. The Spaniard made his name at Bayer Leverkusen, where he won the club’s first-ever Bundesliga title. After a brief spell at Real Madrid, he’s now heading to Stamford Bridge on a four-year deal starting July 1, 2026, and fans naturally […]
Chelsea’s women (who, from here on, we’ll call simply Chelsea) won the Women’s Super League (WSL) six seasons in a row up to and including 2024/25. In 2018/19, Arsenal won the title, but for three out of four years before that, it was Chelsea who were the best team in the land. It is fair […]
The revolving door at Stamford Bridge has spun once more, but this time, the narrative feels entirely different. Following a turbulent campaign that culminated in a sobering FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City, the Chelsea hierarchy has delivered a true blockbuster announcement. Xabi Alonso is officially the new manager of Chelsea Football Club, signing […]
After a disappointing campaign, Chelsea head into the summer transfer window with work to do. While there is no shortage of young talent at Stamford Bridge, the squad still feels unbalanced in key areas and is in real need of some more experience. It has been reported that any new signings will wait until the […]
If you’ve been following Chelsea over the previous decade, you are accustomed to seeing some ups and downs. After all, this is a team that reached the highest level of European football glory as recently as five years ago, only to spend the next couple of seasons being very average. You could say that being unpredictable is the norm for Chelsea. Still, this […]
Betting sponsorship in football has always sat in an awkward place. On one side, clubs need commercial income, especially outside the financial comfort of the traditional elite. On the other, football is watched by children, families and millions of supporters who do not necessarily want gambling brands stitched into the fabric of the game. Chelsea’s […]
