That is more like it. Chelsea respond in emphatic fashion with a dominant 4-0 win over Hull City in the FA Cup, putting the frustration of recent weeks behind them in style.

Manny and Simon break down a performance full of confidence and cutting edge, as Pedro Neto delivers a superb hat trick to silence the doubters, while Liam Delap provides three assists in a statement display. It was controlled, clinical, and exactly the kind of response Liam Rosenior needed from his players.

The hosts reflect on Rosenior’s early impact and why there are encouraging signs that this squad is finally developing resilience and identity under his leadership.

They also preview our special full length interview with Chelsea legend Paul Canoville, dropping Monday. It is a must listen episode following our unforgettable Bluesday weekend in New Orleans.

Finally, attention turns to the next Premier League test at home against Burnley, after a rare and important seven days without a game. Can Chelsea build momentum and string together consistent performances at last?

🎧 Confidence restored, cup progress secured, and big episodes ahead.

Chelsea somehow manage to capitulate to a 2-2 draw after leading 2-0, in what Manny and Simon describe as a disastrous result in the race for the top four. A performance that was dominant for 85 minutes ends in familiar chaos, exposing the same weaknesses that continue to haunt this team.

The result also cruelly ruins the incredible vibes from Bluesday and our unforgettable weekend in New Orleans with Paul Canoville. An interview podcast with Canners is coming very soon and will be worth the wait.

Simon and Manny are raging as they tear into the players for their inconsistency, poor game management, and inability to see games out. Chelsea were excellent for most of the match but once again collapsed when it mattered most.

Attention now turns to the FA Cup fourth round away tie against Hull City in the Championship, as Chelsea look for any form of response after another self inflicted setback.

Make sure you stay tuned on our socials for the upcoming interview with Paul Canoville.

🎧 Anger, frustration, and honesty after another damaging Chelsea result.

Our next live show information is HERE!

Chelsea are out of the Carabao Cup after a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, losing the semi final 4-2 on aggregate. Manny and Simon dissect a disappointing night for the Blues and reflect on a tie where, in truth, Chelsea came up short over two legs.

The hosts show sympathy for Liam Rosenior’s setup, acknowledging the difficult task he faced, while also being honest about the overall performance level. There were some encouraging individual displays, but nowhere near enough quality, control, or cutting edge to turn the tie around against a strong Arsenal side.

Attention now turns back to the Premier League as Chelsea prepare for the next league match against Wolves, with the pressure firmly on to respond and steady the ship.

The episode also looks ahead to something far more positive, as Manny and Simon preview our next live podcast with Chelsea legend Paul Canoville, taking place in New Orleans for Bluesday on February 6th. A huge weekend ahead with the Chelsea community stateside.

🎧 Honest reflection, realism, and looking forward.

What a night. What a comeback. Chelsea fight back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Stamford Bridge, pulling off a last minute thriller after what Manny and Simon describe as the worst first half in living memory.

The moment of the night belongs to Enzo Fernandez, who smashed home the last minute winner on the third anniversary of his Chelsea debut. You couldn’t write it.

Finally, attention turns to another massive challenge as Chelsea prepare for the Carabao Cup semi final second leg against Arsenal. After everything we’ve seen recently, the question has to be asked… can the Blues pull off another unlikely turnaround?

Chelsea return to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Brentford, but it was anything but comfortable. Manny and Simon review a game where Chelsea had to suffer, dig in, and grind out a result — something this team has too often failed to do in the past.

The hosts acknowledge that Brentford missed several big chances, but give real credit to Chelsea for staying alive, showing resilience, and getting over the line. There’s praise for the players and Liam Rosenior, whose approach helped Chelsea secure a win that previous versions of this team would likely have thrown away.

Special mention goes to Robert Sánchez, who delivered a strong performance after weeks of heavy criticism, stepping up when Chelsea needed him most.

Finally, attention turns to Europe as the lads preview the next Champions League fixture against Pafos, asking whether Chelsea can build some momentum and finally string results together.

🎧 A tough win, a positive response, and a chance to kick on.
