1905: The Chelsea FC Podcast

A win, but not much else to shout about.

Chris and Joe look back on a cup tie that felt more like survival than progress, with Chelsea scraping past Lincoln after another chaotic start.

They talk Jørgensen’s horror show in goal, Fofana’s worrying rustiness, and Enzo’s heavy-legged display. Plus, early verdicts on Hato, Gittens, and Garnacho as the new boys get their chance.

There’s also reflection on the sponsor saga, how the Cole Palmer injury could reshape Chelsea’s season.

Finally, they pick their XI for Brighton and look at how we can beat the Seagulls.

All that and more.

Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Well, it was fun for 5 minutes wasn't it...

In this episode, we try to make sense of a sodden Old Trafford night that started with a rash Sanchez red and spiralled from there.

We talk Maresca’s call to go ultra-defensive, the subs that sucked out our outlet, and the set-piece chaos that gifted United control.

We also zoom out: what this says about Chelsea’s game management, why a top goalkeeper and centre-back still feel non-negotiable, and what needs to change before Lincoln and Brighton.

Therapy, and tough love - straight from Gate 13.

Chris and Joe break down Chelsea’s 3–1 defeat in Munich - from defensive lapses and schoolboy errors to Palmer’s swagger and Sanchez keeping the score respectable.

They talk Gusto’s bright performance, Enzo’s tired legs, and why Tosin is running out of excuses. There’s praise for Andrey Santos off the bench, a debate on squad rotation, and plenty of referee rage.

And with Manchester United up next, the lads look at what Enzo Maresca should change, who deserves a start, and why Old Trafford is long overdue a Chelsea win.

All that and more.

Well, that was frustrating.

Chris and Joe relive the late sting of Brentford away, where Caicedo and Palmer’s brilliance should’ve sealed it… until the 94th-minute lapse in concentration.

They dig into defensive worries, questionable selections, and why Brentford have become a bogey side. There’s discussion on Tosin, Trev, and Sánchez, plus the strange striker situation.

And then - attention turns to Bayern. Can Chelsea shake off the Brentford hangover and make a statement on our Champions League return?

Voicenotes on all that and more.

What does the future hold for Stamford Bridge?

In this special two-part episode, Chris and Joe kick off with their final verdict on Chelsea’s transfer window - the upgrades, the misses, and why squad harmony might matter more than one more big signing.

VAR gave us the rub of the green again as the Blues edged Fulham 2–0 at the Bridge.

Chris and Joe break down a frustrating but ultimately winning performance: Enzo’s rollercoaster from worst-on-pitch to goal-and-assist, João Pedro’s all-action display capped with a goal-line clearance, and a backline that still leaves plenty of questions unanswered.

There’s chat on the VAR calls, the Delap injury scare (and Jackson’s recall), and whether Chelsea should have moved for a centre-back.

Not the prettiest of derbies, but three games unbeaten, two derby wins, and right towards the top of the league going into the break.

Chelsea hit West Ham for five under the lights at the London Stadium - and it could’ve been more.

Chris and Joe share instant reactions to a wild 5-1 win: the shaky start, the flood of goals, and the players who stole the show.

They also dig into the Cole Palmer injury scare, whether Chelsea need another centre-back, and what the latest transfer noise means for Jackson, Nkunku and the rest of the attack.

Oh, and a reminder of just how fun this Chelsea side might be to watch this season.

Chelsea’s season opener didn’t exactly go to script.

In this episode, Chris and Joe share their raw reactions from Stamford Bridge after a flat 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace. From sluggish passing to missed chances, it felt more like pre-season than Premier League.

They talk Palace’s disallowed goal, why Chelsea looked leggy, and the few bright sparks – including Delap’s impact off the bench and Estevão’s energy.

There’s also a wider chat on match sharpness, missing Colwill’s passing from the back, and whether Maresca needs another centre-half.

Plus, the optimism around the Bridge before kick-off, the reality check that followed, and what needs to change ahead of a Friday night clash with West Ham.
