For the 39th and final time this season let’s do this.

We’re joined by Adam Newson (@AdamNewson) Chelsea reporter for football.london (@Football_LDN) for a review of Chelsea’s season. First up we get Adam’s experience of covering Chelsea this season before we look back at the predictions we made back in August. 

We then tell the tale of Chelsea’s season in four parts. Firstly we start in August and the feel good factor around Chelsea till Ben Chilwell’s injury in the Juventus win with that being a big turning point in the season. The second part focuses on Chelsea falling off in December with Covid and injuries playing a part, up till Chelsea winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea making progress in the cups during this period. The third part focuses on the Carabao Cup final defeat with Roman putting the club up for sale before being sanctioned. We discuss this period of uncertainty and the siege mentality that grew at Chelsea, with Thomas Tuchel leading Chelsea through this period with respect for the German coach reaching an all time high level up till that Real Madrid first leg defeat. The fourth part focuses on the fallout from Chelsea’s heartbreaking defeat at the Bernabéu till the end of the season with stuttering league form, poor performances that resulted in a brief top 4 scrap and another heartbreaking defeat in penalties to Liverpool, this time in the FA Cup.

Then we move onto our season awards. The awards are as follows:

Goal of the season

Player of the season

Most improved player 

Unsung hero 

Player with biggest turnaround 

Most disappointing player

We then bid farewell to Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen assessing their Chelsea careers before we pay thanks to Roman Abramovich as the curtain comes down on his time as owner before we finally look forward to the new era under Todd Boehly and his consortium.

Thank you for all the love and support this season, it’s been a pleasure. Have a great summer and see you next season. Until the next episode KTBFFH💙
