From The Shed End Podcast

Manchester City's financial-rule verdict is in, with an appeal now lodged — but how does their case actually compare to Chelsea's own disciplinary charges?

In Episode 196, Theo and I break down the key differences between the two cases before revealing our three favourite Chelsea goals of all time.

We also discuss Xabi Alonso's international-break reset, Chelsea's biggest selection questions, and a massive October featuring Bournemouth, Everton, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Plus, Theo gives his predictions as we look ahead to the return of Chelsea football.

Up the Chels!

Chelsea scored six against Leeds — but the final score hides a much more complicated performance.

This week, we look back at the 6-3 Carabao Cup win and ask whether Xabi Alonso over-rotated, how much Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers changed the game, and whether Chelsea’s control issues are still a concern.

We also discuss the biggest talking points from Alonso’s latest press conference before previewing Saturday’s Premier League game against Hull City.

Hull arrive at Stamford Bridge unbeaten in the league and yet to concede a goal, while Chelsea have an extraordinary historical record against the Tigers.

Also discussed:

Who earned more minutes against Leeds?
Does Welbeck deserve to start?
How important is Morgan Rogers becoming?
Can Chelsea break down Hull’s compact defence?
And our score predictions for Saturday.

From The Shed End — Chelsea discussion, analysis and reaction.

Chelsea head to the Emirates after one of the most eventful weeks of the season.

In Episode 193 of From The Shed End, we discuss Chelsea's chaotic 4-3 win over Brighton, Enzo Fernández's £125m move to Manchester City, the extraordinary collapse of the Lamine Camara deal and what it leaves Xabi Alonso with in midfield.

We also give our final verdict on Chelsea's transfer window before turning our attention to Sunday's huge Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Can Chelsea end their poor recent run against the Gunners? What team should Alonso select? And would we take a draw at the Emirates?

Plus, our predicted XI, key battles and final score predictions.

Chelsea have started well. Now it's time to prove it.

From The Shed End is back — and this season, the expectations at Chelsea have changed.

With Xabi Alonso heading into the new campaign and Morgan Rogers arriving as Chelsea’s marquee signing, we discuss whether the Blues now have the squad to genuinely compete at the top of the Premier League.

We break down Rogers’ arrival and where he fits alongside Cole Palmer, the direction Alonso is taking the squad, Chelsea’s summer recruitment and the players who could still leave before the window closes.

We also discuss Danny Welbeck, Maxence Lacroix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Andre Santos and Romeo Lavia, before asking the biggest question of all:

What is the bare minimum for Chelsea this season?

Top four? A domestic trophy? Or should Chelsea now be involved in a genuine title race?

Plus, we look ahead to Real Sociedad, discuss Chelsea’s strongest XI and predict how many points the Blues should take from their opening Premier League fixtures.

Chelsea have spent. Chelsea have strengthened. Now there are no excuses.

Chelsea’s summer is entering a decisive stage as Xabi Alonso prepares to work with his squad for the first time.

In Episode 192 of the From The Shed End Podcast, we discuss Real Madrid’s public denial of interest in Enzo Fernández, whether his agent has created unnecessary uncertainty, and why Chelsea should demand at least £130 million if the midfielder is ever sold.

We also react to the latest Granit Xhaka developments, debate whether Chelsea still need an experienced midfielder, and look ahead to the players reporting for pre-season under Alonso.

Other topics include Marco Palestra’s role, the competition between Reece James and Malo Gusto, the players fighting for their Chelsea futures, and the biggest decisions Alonso must make before the new season.

Follow From The Shed End and let us know: should Chelsea keep Enzo, and what should Alonso’s strongest midfield look like?

Chelsea’s season is over, so it’s time for a full From The Shed End reset.

In Episode 191, Theo and Theo go through the end-of-season awards, debate the biggest winners and disappointments, audit the current Chelsea squad, discuss the transfer profiles the club should be targeting, and look at the Chelsea players involved at the World Cup.

Topics include:

• João Pedro as Theo’s Player of the Season
• Cole Palmer as the controversial flop/worst player pick relative to expectation
• Chelsea’s biggest squad gaps
• Transfer targets and profiles that could fix the team
• Chelsea players at the World Cup
• What success should look like in 2026/27

Welcome back to the From The Shed End podcast. In today’s massive episode, Theo and Theo break down the absolute chaos of the last 48 hours at Chelsea Football Club. We dive into the breaking reports from The Athletic regarding exactly why BlueCo sacked Liam Rosenior, the £1 BILLION debt crisis hovering over the club, and how the dressing room completely disconnected.
