Greetings, fellow gluttons for punishment! Yes, both the Reds and Blues contrived to lose 3-1 each on Saturday. But the manner in which they chose to do so was spectacularly different. Let’s inspect the corpses.Despite Evan’s poignant, double-edged speculation ahead of last week’s match against United, Chelsea were good value for money in the first half and could have had a larger cushion before disaster struck. As like last weekend, Chelsea were always looking open after a game-changing instant

Welcome back, Reds and Blues! The international break is over, and that means the return of league and Champions League footy. How did our clubs fare after a few weeks off? Chelsea’s start to the season has been a mixed bag. Coming off a summer run to a trophy – and the extra games and miles on legs that entailed – they have at times looked sluggish. And so it continued on Saturday, as they fell behind to Brentford in the first half. This prompted a trio of changes at halftime and the introduction

Hey Reds and Blues, the Premier League is back! The first weekend of matches is in the books. Neither side got off to the start we/they had hoped for, but each club showed signs of what may lie ahead. Let’s see how things have gone so far.Chelsea’s long and successful summer run at the Club World Cup ended in a trophy, but it may have come at a price. Many Chelsea players looked a bit tired and off the pace, with a plucky Palace side showing why they’ve been a thorn in many sides in recent months

Hey Reds, Blues, and all soccer fans! We are finally back and ready to once again give our local take on the global game. Who has had the better transfer window? Will these signings have an immediate impact? And who will be lifting the trophy several months from now? Let’s jump in and find out…Chelsea theoretically splashed the cash this summer, though most deals are listed as “Undisclosed”, so full amounts are yet to be known. What is known is their intent. Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens, and Joao Pedro

Reds and Blues, we are finally back after an extended hiatus. There’s much to catch up on. So let’s dive right in. Chelsea now sit in sixth place, 1 point behind City and 2 behind Newcastle. A top-four finish is still possible. But the immediate focus is on progression in the Conference, where they take a 3-goal lead into the Bridge on Thursday. Take care of business and advance in a tournament they are heavy favorites to win. A trip to tricky Fulham awaits at the weekend. With a seemingly safe

Reds, Blues, GFOPs! A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March. Set our clubs before us; let us see their form. Chelsea’s fifth-place standing is both blessing and curse. It’s probably enough for future European exploits regardless of Thursday’s trip to Scandinavian shores. But it hides an inconsistency that may be their undoing. They have conceded 5 and scored 4 in their last 3 matches. They could win or lose by similar margins tomorrow and no one would be surprised either way. With only 4

Welcome back, Reds and Blues! January flew by, and our absence has done the same with February. We have a lot to catch up on, so let’s dive in!The ongoing inconsistency of Manchester United continued this weekend as they fell to Spurs away. United entered February on a 3-game winning streak. But an incredibly limp performance against Palace brought them back to earth. That was followed by another unconvincing win against struggling Leicester in the FA Cup, before this weekend’s turgid affair with

Let’s see how our teams are handling it.It’s safe to say that Manchester United are struggling to find themselves. While they are able to get up for the big rival matches, they continue to have problems with teams they should historically be beating. But recent history is full of inconsistency and frustration, and that trend

Happy Holidays, Reds and Blues! It’s that time of year, and we are definitely in the midst of the Festive Fixtures. Games are coming thick and fast, so let’s see how our clubs are faring.MANCHESTER. IS. RED. Yes, it was against a City side that appears to be in free-fall, but United haven’t exactly been setting the world alight with their performances either. Despite playing well for long stretches against Arsenal and losing to 2 well-run set pieces, their follow-up effort against Forest was well

Happy New Year, Reds and Blues! We hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. The Festive Fixtures are winding down. How did our clubs close out the year and kickoff the new one? “Chelsea’s December has gone about as well as any Blue could have hoped.” That’s what I wrote just a few weeks ago. But the mid-December form that had some folks talking up a title challenge has disappeared into the wintry mix that has overtaken England. A comfortable win over Irish side Shamrock Rovers in the

How did the USMNT fare in their 2-leg Nations League encounter? And how did our clubs do upon their return from the break? Let’s dig into the leftovers!Chelsea returned from the break with an away day at faltering Leicester, and they seemed hungry from the start.

Let’s look at what they’ve done, and what we can expect from the new USMNT manager as he takes on Jamaica in the Nations League.Chelsea goes into the break on a relative high. They followed up the away draw at Old Trafford with an 8-0 trouncing of Armenian side Noah in the Conference. Then came the big test against Arsenal, and it’s fair to say they got a passing

Welcome back, Reds and Blues! We made it through yet another international break. The USMNT was in action under our new coach, and several players from both clubs got much-needed rests. How did the first 2 games under Poch go, and how did our respective clubs fare upon returning from the break? Let’s get into it!Mauricio Pochettino got his first look at his Eagles, and it’s safe to say he must know his work is cut out for him.

Greetings, Reds and Blues fans! We are back for yet another international break. This one feels a little different for USMNT fans, though. Let’s get into why that is and also how our respective clubs have fared as they go into the hiatus.The Poch Era begins in earnest. He took over training just this week. He is saying all the right things, but the reality is that the USMNT underperformed for the past few years under GGG. And the timing of injuries isn’t going to make Poch’s job any easier in the

Welcome back, Reds and Blues fans! We have made it through a fairly boring international break, but it did bring closure to one issue for the USMNT. The focus returns to the EPL this weekend. Let’s see what has happened and what we can expect. Chelsea’s season appears to be building some momentum. While not always pretty, when you’re re-building (again) the results remain the focus while trying to get the performances to match.

Hello, Reds and Blues fans! We have made it through a fairly boring international break, but it did bring closure to one issue for the USMNT. The focus returns to the EPL this weekend. Let’s see what has happened and what we can expect. Chelsea’s season has begun in fits and starts. An unfortunate early-season match-up with City, a fairly easy draw for UEFA Conference League Qualifying (which they ultimately limped through), a big win, and a sluggish draw.

Hello, Reds and Blues! So much has happened in just the past few weeks: Olympic finals, season curtain raisers, new coaches, and especially new players. Let’s sort through it all. Chelsea didn’t make many big moves in the transfer market before their season opener with City. And while none of their new signings started, several were subbed on during the match. But the reality is that Chelsea appear to have the same issues as last season. City were the better side, but as with last season the

Welcome back, Reds and Blues! When last you saw us here, we had audio issues that we didn’t know about in real time. Coupled with our European adventures, it’s been nearly 2 ½ months since we’ve shared this space. So, we’ve got quite a lot to discuss. The Euros and the Copa have dominated summer entertainment so far, and we got to experience the early rounds firsthand. From arguably the best fan base at the tournament – Turkiye! – to a matchup of pre-tournament heavyweights, we saw 3 matches between

Let’s catch up on all the action.When last you saw/heard us, Chelsea had just broken collective Red hearts. Chelsea jumped out to an early 2-0 lead inside of 20 minutes and were worthy of it.

Let’s dive into their performances and results.Chelsea needed a win over Newcastle to keep them within touching distance of the top 10, and possibly even an outside chance of a spot in a Europa competition next season. It was another see-saw affair that Chelsea managed to turn in their favor, but another late opposition goal remains
