The Blue Crew

In this episode, the Blue Crew talk about Chelsea's 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday afternoon, how Mauricio Pochettino has done at Chelsea so far and where he can improve and preview any possible dealings this January.

Well, well, well, who had that on the bingo card? Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-1, the hosts had two men sent off, there four goals disallowed and that just about covers the first half. The boys are back to discuss one of the most incredible and unpredictable matches ever seen in England.

Tom, Luka and OJ's favourite son announced his retirement on October 10 and there's no better way to get over the emotion of no more Eden Hazard than by talking about him.

The boys are back to discuss a Chelsea win and it's been a long time coming.

Who could have guessed? Chelsea fail to win yet again because it's still 2023 and players are still out injured. Tom, Luka and OJ join up to discuss just how long it will be until they are called up to fill the bench as well as more serious debates over the state of the team, how long a process usually takes and if there's more positivity than fans are allowing themselves to recognise.

Another day and another disappointing Chelsea result, when will it end? Tom and Luka gather to discuss just how Mauricio Pochettino got it so wrong against Nottingham Forest, what's going on with Ben Chilwell, whether Thiago Silva should take some time out and how this all fits together with the transfer market work.
