As the long hot summer break draws to a close, the Blues look forward to the return of the Premier League. The first match of the season will be just down the road at Fulham, and kicks off at 8pm on Monday 24th August. Before then, there are a small handful of non-televised friendlies, which […]
The transfer window can be a transformative time for football clubs with big ambitions. Players are brought in who, hopefully, will help to improve the team and take it to the next level. Those not up to the mark are moved on pastures new. Managerial changes are commonplace too, as the incoming head coach can […]
The 2026/27 Premier League season promises an enormous amount. Given how hectic the summer transfer window has been across the board, fans can expect intense matches, high goal tallies, and plenty of talking points from the very first weekend. Many sports bettors are already engaging with Premier League markets, and casino platforms offering betting services […]
Another week, another fine for Chelsea over their breaching of financial rules. This time it was UEFA’s doghouse that the Blues have found themselves in, breaching the governing body’s Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) regulations that are in place for their continental competitions.

Given Spain’s rather lacklustre performance in their 0-0 draw against tiny Cape Verde, La Roja fans may be wondering if their players would be better concentrating on getting results for the national side in the World Cup rather than getting distracted with dream transfers. Spain, one of the pre-tournament favourites, were frustrated in their 2026 […]

The incoming manager arrives with a distinct tactical blueprint that aligns naturally with the technical profile of Chelsea’s current squad. Crucially, Alonso has been handed the title of manager rather than head coach. […]
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 […]
