Fran Kirby's Fight Club

Your favorite fight club is back with a surprise guest (hint: 🐶)! Join us as we breakdown Chelsea FCW’s 1-0 versus Brighton, delight in Sam Kerr’s fourth goal in two games, heap praise on Ji’s performance, and spotlight Millie Bright’s contributions! We also take a moment to discuss the overall effectiveness of our attack when teams work hard to deny Kerrby. Give us a listen, rating, and review!...

We're back! Your favorite CFCW chatterboxes chat about the team's return to league action with a fairly weird 3-2 win over West Ham. They celebrate Sam Kerr's hat-trick, heap loads of praise on (who else?) Fran Kirby, and look ahead to the Blues' return to Champions League play, and next league match versus Brighton.

The Finishing Special! With the postponement of our Conti Cup match extending the break before our next match, we decided to do something a bit different! This episode focuses on ChelseaFCW's finishing struggles. We look at the team as a whole, then drill down on particular players who stand out. We also attempt to pose solutions that could give the team the best opportunity to convert more of the...

Well, that was weird! Chelsea started the match against Arsenal about as flatly as they've played in well over a year. The second half was changed due to a sub and things were getting back to normal until Arsenal scored. Then, Chelsea equalized due to a wicked (and hilarious) deflection and own goal from Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy. Your hosts discuss the match and all its weirdness, ponder...

Another great week for CFCW has your hosts flying high! Chelsea get a comfortable 2-0 over London rivals Tottenham, then extract a measure of revenge on Everton via a 4-0 scoreline. We discuss the Ingle-Leupolz pivot that smothered the Toffees, the return of Bethany England and her goals, and Pernille Harder scoring an outrageous goal! We also get into some, hmm, interesting comments by Emma Hayes...

Chelsea FCW—and thus we—ARE BACK! Chelsea end their three-week break with a #ContiCup match versus Tottenham Hostpur, then get a chance at some early season revenge against Everton, this time in the league. Your hosts preview both matches, give updates from the international break, and make their predictions for the week's matches! Listen, rate and review!

Chelsea FCW doesn't have a match this week or next but your hosts couldn't possibly go that long without talking about the team. So we hopped on Twitter (@FranKirbyFC) and solicited questions from you — our lovely listeners! The result? Our very first Q&A pod! Maryam and André answer questions on Chelsea's January transfer window, tactical advancements in the WSL, which former Chelsea player they...

WOWOWOW! Your hosts are absolutely buzzing after a fantastic week in which Chelsea FCW faced their two primary rivals and came away victorious over both. Their FA Cup match versus the Gunners ended in a familiar 4-1 scoreline, and four days later the Citizens were heading back to Manchester with a 3-1 L. Maryam and André discuss keys to Chelsea's dominance, Fran Kirby going supernova on poor Demi...

Maryam and André breakdown Chelsea's somewhat hollow 1-0 win over Birmingham City. They also talk about being well off of on their predictions, ask if it means anything that Sam Kerr, Ji So-Yun and Pernille Harder were left on the bench, and André wants to fly to London to give a certain linesman an eye exam. Give us a listen, and if your heart compels you, rate us and leave a review!

Bad Times at Goodison Park by Fran Kirby's Fight Club

Maryam and André used the international break to look ahead to our 2019/20 FA Cup matchup (because 2020 is nothing if not weird), check-in on players on international duties as well as some back at Cobham, and reflect on things that have surprised us so far in the season — that's right, all of two competitive matches into the season! Also, Maryam continues her quest to pile on the points in our ye...

Maryam and André are feeling much better after Chelsea's 9-0 win over Brighton. The Blues ran rampant in their season home debut, having nine (NINE!) different goalscorers including new signings Melanie Leupolz, Niamh Charles and Pernille Harder bagging their firsts for Chelsea. Also, Fran Kirby scored her first WSL goal since May 2019 after battling pericarditis for the better part of the last ca...

Maryam and André react to Chelsea's frustrating 1-1 result away at Manchester, and try to figure out if it meant more that Chelsea (Sam Kerr in particular) missed chances or that last season's midfield struggles against United continued. Also continuing, the Pod Curse™: André whines and begs and hopes for Lucy Bronze, who has just re-signed with Manchester City. :/

Your hosts are back and buzzing after a thrilling 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield. Maryam and André react to Millie Bright deciding to do it herself, Fran Kirby's return to the starting XI, Melanie Leupolz's debut, Chelsea's riotous first-half press, Sam Kerr being very un-Sam Kerr, highlight some areas of concern, and make predictions ahead of the league opener away at United...

Welcome to Episode 2! Maryam and André discuss Chelsea's upcoming tussles with the Manchesters, our shiny new midfield, Gareth Taylor's appointment, Press and Heath going to United, Rose Lavelle, and Sam Mewis being large. #CFCW
