Well, here we go again. The coaching carousel continues to spin at Chelsea Football Club. I really thought that Mauricio Pochettino would have the chance to take this young squad further, and build on what was achieved. And things were achieved last season. I firmly believe steps were taken in the right direction to get… Continue reading Pochettino out, Maresca in, as Chelsea ring the managerial changes again.

My Chelsea mid-season report.
If you had asked me at the start of the season ‘where would you like Chelsea to finish?’, my reply would have been for them to finish in the European places and have a good run in the cups. We’re halfway through the season now, and Chelsea are not far off achieving those aims of… Continue reading My Chelsea mid-season report.
What do Chelsea need to do this summer?
Well for one thing, they need to sort out who the hell is going to be in the squad next season. At the moment, the squad is far too big and unwieldy. So, we are going to see a lot of players leave, maybe even some we don’t want to see go. I think the… Continue reading What do Chelsea need to do this summer?
The UK is UEFA’s best bet for Euro 2028.
The UK’s final bid to host the 2028 European Championships is in. And it looks like a pretty good one. While England does dominate the bid, that is to be expected. I think the grounds are split quite nicely across the four countries. While England has the majority of grounds included in the bid, that’s… Continue reading The UK is UEFA’s best bet for Euro 2028.
Some thoughts on the Club World Cup.
While some pundits like Craig Burley may sneer at it, Chelsea completed the set on Saturday. And like many fans, I was very happy with that achievement. Having failed to win it the previous time the club were involved in the competition, everyone in and around the club really seemed to be taking the Club… Continue reading Some thoughts on the Club World Cup.
Oh so near, and yet so far for England.
But this was always going to be a matter of progress. And as much as it will hurt the players right now, they have shown tremendous progress. When Gareth Southgate took charge of the England team, did anyone think that England would make a major final? Because I certainly didn’t. England announced a ten-year-plan back… Continue reading Oh so near, and yet so far for England.
Who might win the Euros?
Italy have put in two extremely impressive performances so far at Euro 2020. So much so that they are starting to look like real contenders for the crown. But that might not be as surprising as some would think. While Italy faced a real crossroads after shocking the football world by failing to qualify for… Continue reading Who might win the Euros?
You can stick your “Super League” up your …
I could not give a damn about the commercial opportunities for this new “European Super League.” I don’t care at all. Because this cabal of club owners conspiring in a corner behind closed doors have sold the last of the integrity left in the sport I love down the damn river. And my club has… Continue reading You can stick your “Super League” up your …
A Week in Review: 17th- 23rd August
Premier League return looms with fixtures release Most non-football fans will often make a comment every time the new season rolls into view that it barely seems like the previous one has ended. That feeling has never been truer as the Premier League fixture list was announced for the 2020/21 season this week. While many… Continue reading A Week in Review: 17th- 23rd August
