The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 22nd February 2024!
Morning all,
I hope you’re enjoying your week so far as we move into Thursday, just three days off our big cup final!
We can start there this morning because let’s face it, we all deserve to milk this little build up to a final this week. These moments have been few and far between lately, and I’m very jealous of any of you lucky people off to Wembley on Sunday! It will be a great day and I would give anything to see us bring the trophy home.
I’ve been doing little build up articles all week, and you can find my latest one here. This is centred around my hope that Thiago Silva is fit enough to make the bench on Sunday. I wouldn’t start him, but I really want to finally see him be involved and lift a trophy for Chelsea before he moves on this summer. Also in this one, I explain why we must go with the same team that drew with Man City on Saturday.
I have an exclusive article next and it is on our new recruitment appointment, Sam Jewell from Brighton. All jokes aside, this looks to be a good hire based on everything I have researched and been told by sources. In this here, I have some key details on Jewell’s exact role at Chelsea and what he will be doing and bringing. Must read this!
Next up, inspired by Cole Palmer being asked to build his perfect Chelsea player as part of The Carabao Cups’ match build up footage, I have asked the same of all of you in here. But I’ve made it a bit different and added in many more attributes so we can truly build our best Chelsea player from our current squad. So please do take part and I’ll put the results out later today!
Don’t forget to check in on yesterdays live blog here which covers all your latest Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place.
There is a Podcast today, and it’s a Carabao Cup final special! I will be on it with Jai if I can be (providing the Wife doesn’t go into labour beforehand or during). But even if I’m not on it, we do have a guest. We welcome Empire of The Kop writer Liam Togher on the show with us later today to preview the cup final from a Chelsea and a Liverpool perspective. We’ll be getting all the inside info from Liam and who he thinks will actually make the starting Xl with all their injuries in tow. Not to be missed this one, and it will be out around around 6pm tonight!
I’ll start up the live blog as usual from 8am this morning!
Peace, Si.
