Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a horror show against Arsenal and ahead to Saturday night's match against Aston Villa.In part one we ask why oh why did he pick Bagofshite and Disaster? Why pick Enzo if he's carrying an injury? But we actually did ok in the first half - hung on in there, created chances (which we couldn't finish). The second half was a shambles as we fell apart; poor defending again and worse, we gave up and as Poch said were “so soft”.It's unacceptable isn't it. It's also hurts because it's Arsenal and our heaviest defeat to them. With a record conceding goals 57 in a PL season and counting is the Bielsa affect on Poch in evidence? And with Pochs comments on what is neededm correct and necessary - will Clearlake heed them or fire and replace him? Maybe they should follow Arsenals model not Brighton's.In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up The Villa in The Opposition View. With Villa last English team in Europe - is this the priority or top four?And while Villa are in pole position for a place in the Top 4 are they worried about Spurs? With Olympiakos next week will this impact how Emery approaches Saturday? Is Justin worried about Chelsea given the result in the FA Cup? What does he think Emery's team selection and approach will be and what's his prediction.In part three we preview Aston Villa v Chelsea starting with JK's Presser Summary and Chidge's Team Selection. Can we, must we, bounce back from Tuesday night? How do we do it? Our record against Villa is good, but you can't trust Chelsea at the moment. We have tough fixtures coming up - Villa, Spurs playing for top 4, West Ham shit but hate us, Brighton and Bournemouth bogey teams, Forest fighting relegation - how many wins/points do we see us getting?If we get humped by Villa and Spurs will Pochs position be untenable Should Winstanley and Stewart's positions be untenable?We wrap up with our predictions.To get the best discount off your NordVPN plan go to https://nordvpn.com/chelseafancast.

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at the thrashing of Middlesbrough taking Chelsea to another Wembley final and ahead to Friday night's visit of Aston Villa in the FA Cup to hopefully set us on the patch to another Wembley final!In part one we applaud Chelsea's clinical finishing, in our biggest ever semifinal win. Palmer was outstanding and Chilwell is a class above. Well done too to Colwill and Disasi and while Sterling is frustrating he had a good game in reality. However, patience with Mudryk appears to be growing thin judging by the berating he got from Enzo and Chilwell and Broja continues to play with angst.But Chelsea reach their 18th Wembley final since 2000 which considering everything that's going this season is huge.In part two we welcome back Justin Hawthorne from Up The Villa for the Opposition View. We talk to Justin about the secret of Emery's success this season? Which players have impressed? What's more important – a trophy or a top 4 finish? Can Villa win the league? And with Villa having had 12 days off, and Chelsea having played on Tuesday is it advantage Villa or Chelsea? With the league game in September being tight and Villa playing it cagey, can we expect more of the same on Friday night? Justin gives us his prediction.In part three we preview Chelsea v Aston Villa starting with JK's Presser Summary and Chidge's team selection. Will Chilwell start? Who drops out if Gallagher comes in? Can we be as clinical as Tuesday? We might not get many chances as Villa don't concede many. We wrap up discussing how do we see it going & give our predictions before another round of 'They Played for Both!'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
