The first, and most probably last, club to ever win the Conference League and the Club World Cup in the same season.

if I'm understanding it correctly (and I resent how much of the financial rules of football I've learnt against my will supporting this club these last few years), this is the list we need to reduce the net spend/value of for next season for UEFA, whilst adding Pedro, Gittens + any others?

Fair to say that final score was a lot more dramatic than I was expecting to wake up to last night. Nice one, Chelsea.

I keep forgetting to post here but just found out it's ten years to the day since the episode of GoT where Jon Snow died and this has shaken me to my core

When given the chance to protect his young player who is having the worst period of his career so far, Maresca opted for self-preservation instead.
Enzo Maresca says Cole Palmer’s drop in form in 2025 is a mental issue and not due to #CFC tactics. More here:

Cole Palmer’s dip in form down to self-belief not Chelsea’s tactics, says Enzo Maresca
Palmer has gone 16 games without scoring for the club, having started the campaign with 14 goals in 23 appearances.

Whatever this season brings, and whatever frustrations we have endured to date, we should all take a moment to reflect on and be grateful for the circumstances that have led to Willy Caballero being Chelsea manager in a Premier League fixture.

As Chelsea get more accustomed to Enzo Maresca's preferred style... they get worse.

This is why Chelsea are struggling
And how they can turn it around.

The decision to replace Ocon with Doohan at Alpine continues to age like milk to the shock of only Flavio Briatore.

Based on The Athletic's reporting: it's Caicedo/Essugo, Lavia/Santos, so I wonder what happens to midfielder number 3? One of Palmer or Enzo to leave, or both of them to stay because Lavia's muscles are made of tissue paper?
🚨 Chelsea have agreed an £18.5m fee for Sporting midfielder Dario Essugo, who is on-loan at Las Palmas. No add-ons or sell-on. Seven-year contract with option of a further year.
#CFC have been watching Essugo's development for 18 months. Viewed as a ball winner with fighting qualities.

I have to keep reminding myself that Chelsea's form at home since early September has actually been really good this year, and I've been there to see a lot of wins. Each win has somehow felt less and less inspiring rather than any sort of gathering momentum.

Chelsea have spent €670m on attacking players since the new ownership took over in 2022 and yet their front line is a complete mess.

Dunk and van Hecke have the look and vibe of two incompetent henchmen whose incompetence keeps foiling the plans of the villain they work for.

Increasingly fascinated/bewildered by Chelsea's approach to selling unwanted players. Some are completely banished (e.g. Chilwell, Chalobah last summer), given a price-tag that far exceeds their on-field performance or importance (e.g. Nkunku for £65m), or some combination of both (e.g. Carney)
