    Chelsea 0–2 Spurs | Washout

    Two defeats to Spurs at Stamford Bridge in 36 years, and Xabi Alonso’s overthinking hands them the second. Spurs deserved it, but when every Chelsea player turns in a six out of ten, that’s on the manager. It’s the Pep and Rodri move all over again. No João Pedro, so no striker. Geovany Quenda thrown into a London derby with Danny Welbeck and Estêvão sitting on the bench, and not a single change at half-time. Mike Penders needs building up, not knocking down, though at two metres tall he should be catching that corner. Cole Palmer’s red is petulant and silly, a week after Everton gave him a free pass. We still back Alonso long term. We just need Anfield on Wednesday to go a lot better. — ★ ★ — Chapters0:00 Washout: Chelsea 0-2 Spurs1:00 Where’s João Pedro?2:30 No striker, no creativity4:00 Mike Penders: don’t pile on6:30 Lacroix, Hato and Palestra at the back8:30 Quenda: a fish out of water10:00 Why Welbeck and Estêvão don’t start11:30 Cole Palmer sees red13:00 Liverpool, Man United and a caretaker Carrick14:30 Two defeats in 36 years18:30 Alonso gets too clever25:00 The substitutions that make no sense26:00 Estêvão can’t catch a break28:00 Penders, punching and the Premier League31:00 Palmer’s red card and the Everton warning33:30 Anfield preview: who should start — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who’ve been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05🌐 www.1905podcast.com📧 hello@1905podcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    160. Everton 0–2 Chelsea | Grown Up

    Chelsea grow up at Everton: a 2-0 win that ends the hosts’ unbeaten start and delivers a first league clean sheet in nine months. Pedro Neto’s second-half brace takes the headlines, but the bigger story is a side that stands up to a physical away day and looks like men rather than boys. Josh Acheampong has his best game in a Chelsea shirt, Jordan Henderson and Moises Caicedo hold the base, and Xabi Alonso’s three-week break looks to have tightened the defence. Emi Martinez goes off after a clash of heads, with jaw surgery to follow, Mike Penders gets his chance, and Reece James is out for months. — ★ ★ — Chapters0:00 Grown up at last: Everton 0-2 Chelsea reaction2:30 Emi Martinez’s injury scare3:50 Mike Penders steps in5:00 Josh Acheampong comes of age7:00 Lacroix and Colwill: building a partnership8:30 Hato at left back10:00 Henderson and Caicedo run the base11:30 Palmer, Rogers and Joao Pedro: the work rate15:30 Pedro Neto, reborn17:30 Alonso’s three-week break19:00 Joe’s take: a serious Chelsea20:30 Martinez’s jaw surgery and the road back23:30 Penders: the big opportunity29:00 Reece James out for months31:30 Henderson, Tchaikovsky and the squad minutes problem — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who’ve been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05🌐 www.1905podcast.com📧 hello@1905podcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Everton v Chelsea Preview | Overdue

    Chelsea haven’t scored at Everton since a Jorginho penalty in August 2022, and last March’s 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium didn’t help the mood. After the 5-1 Bournemouth win, Alonso’s side finally look balanced: a back four with the ball, a 4-4-2 without it. Acheampong’s height against Everton’s set pieces, Estevão stepping into Pedro Neto’s role, and Colwill and Lacroix as a settled pairing in front of Martínez. Plus the fringe players short of minutes without Europe, Jordan Henderson’s critics, and Joe’s pick of Chelsea’s best Goodison result — the 3-2 in 2006 with Lampard, Ballack and Drogba.

    Chelsea 5–1 Bournemouth | The Hendo Show

    Jordan Henderson, 36, scores twice on his home debut as Chelsea beat Bournemouth 5-1 at Stamford Bridge. A right-foot finish off the post and a free kick into the top corner bookend a masterclass in game management. João Pedro makes it five in five, Morgan Rogers scores inside three minutes again, and Henderson and Caicedo look like a proper midfield pair, though the set-piece wobble at 3-0 is still a worry. Plus Cole Palmer’s new deal to 2034, announced on a live stream, and why the Premier League table feels a little like a mirage. — ★ ★ — Chapters0:00 Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth: two goals in three minutes2:30 Henderson takes control before half-time3:30 João Pedro makes it three, then the set-piece wobble5:30 The Henderson free kick and the Lavia call6:30 Front three, Estêvão’s minutes and Caicedo’s return9:30 Relief for Alonso after three games without a win11:30 Everton away preview14:30 Chris on Henderson: 11.9km and the Caicedo partnership20:30 João Pedro five in five, Acheampong’s rise23:30 Joe on Henderson and life after Enzo Fernandez27:50 Cole Palmer signs until 203432:30 Premier League round-up: City, Brighton and the top four race — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who’ve been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05🌐 www.1905podcast.com📧 hello@1905podcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Man City's sham contracts of £830m might be the biggest football story of our time. We ask what it means for Chelsea: how we feel about it, how it compares with our own case, and whether we'd even want the trophies. Then the big one, the best punishment from a Chelsea point of view, with relegation-battling Hull, Coventry and Spurs watching closely. Plus the postbox: Stamford Bridge or a new stadium, one January signing, and the Chelsea match we'd watch again and again. — ★ ★ — Chapters0:00 The international break drags on1:00 How do we feel about the Man City charges?4:30 The asterisk on Agüero and Guardiola's 100-point side9:30 Chelsea's case vs City's: is there a comparison?13:00 Would you want the trophies?15:30 The best punishment, and what it means for Hull, Coventry and Spurs18:00 Sympathy for City fans22:30 Postbox: Stamford Bridge, stay or go?26:00 Postbox: one January signing30:00 Postbox: the Chelsea match you'd watch again and again33:30 Postbox: the best Chelsea item you own36:30 Postbox: favourite Chelsea chant — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05🌐 www.1905podcast.com📧 hello@1905podcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Brentford 3–0 Chelsea | 22 Days

    22 days to sit on Brentford 3-0 Chelsea, 22 days for Xabi Alonso to find a plan B, 22 days to restart the season. A perfectly decent first half unravels when Jaidon Anthony nods in from a back-post corner, and the familiar Chelsea collapse follows: one goal down, crosses going nowhere, no answer. Chris backs Alonso and asks for patience, while Joe wants the back three binned, Estêvão on the pitch and Lavia alongside Jordan Henderson, who might have been Chelsea's best player on the night. Plus João Pedro's absence, Levi Colwill at left centre-back, and why Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth always seem to arrive with a plan Chelsea don't. — ★ ★ — Chapters00:00 22 days to sit on it02:00 A first half that was fine03:30 The back-post corner and the same old Chelsea06:30 What happens when Chelsea go a goal down07:45 Jordan Henderson in a Chelsea shirt08:30 Estêvão and the subs that never came12:00 Why Chelsea have to back Xabi Alonso16:00 Joe: "an appalling watch"18:30 Henderson best player, Lavia on the bench21:30 Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth have a game plan28:00 The back three has to go32:30 Five points behind Arsenal, four ahead of Coventry — ★ ★ — Meet the HostsChris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.What started as swapping post-match voicenotes has grown into a fan pod capturing the highs, the lows, and everything in between from Gate 13 of the Matthew Harding Stand. — ★ ★ — The 1905 PodcastChelsea FC Founded: 1905European Champions: 19/05🌐 www.1905podcast.com📧 hello@1905podcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
