The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 12th February 2024!
Morning all!
Yikes, it’s due date week for us! So just a reminder for those who might have missed it or any new subscribers who might have arrived after I posted the news. Please check in on this article here, as I might have to duck off for 1-4 days (hopefully not more) very soon now! It’s ‘squeaky bum time’ as they say in football!!
Hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed some local football if that’s what you chose to watch. There was also some great games played in the Premier League too.
Chelsea are in action tonight, and the players will be pleased for a bit of rest after the impressive win against Aston Villa in the week. Training has continued over the weekend, with recovery and gym work, as well as on pitch work happening.
You can get all the details, facts, stats, team news, predictions, H2H, Ted Lasso (yes, I did mean to say that), and so much more in my big match preview article for tonight in here.
Luke Rushbrook is not only our anchor man on this site, he is also Mr. Positive! Which is great, as it adds a nice bit of balance to the rest of us. I don’t think of myself as negative at all, but perhaps not always as positive as Luke is. There’s no right or wrong by the way, the beauty of football is all about opinions and different perspectives. But Luke had a look back at the Villa game here, and he noticed some very valid points on Mauricio Pochettino’s tactics that impressed him. Some diagrams and images to accompany his points in this too.
And we also had another fantastic contribution from The Score this weekend. He has made some really great points that I find myself agreeing with in here. After a chaotic week, this one is basically discussing what happens next at our club and what happens in the summer?
I have an exclusive article out next on Enzo Fernandez. We all saw the way he celebrated his incredible free kick in the week, and there are some really important reasons behind that other than just correcting speculation on his future. A detailed report on Enzo’s time at Chelsea so far and what has been going on behind the scenes in here.
Finally for today’s newsletter, I have the Chelsea News Bulletin from Sunday here. This covers all the latest Chelsea news in one place from multiple sources and outlets. Any transfer rumours will be in this one too, and there are some interesting updates from Fabrizio Romano too 👀
Right, join me on the live blog from around 8am today on the home page. If I need to communicate with you guys for any baby-related news this week, it will be on the blog, as well as on the Substack App chat section. So I will do my best to keep you all updated as to what is going on, and I know Luke and the team will do their very best to still get content out for you when I do have to duck out (hopefully not for too long at all).
Peace, Si.
