  • Yall ok?

    I love this podcast but I can’t in good faith give 5 stars to a podcast that runs 3 ad spots in less than an hour. If you folks are hurting that bad maybe podcasting isn’t for you?

#1658 | A Chelsea Conversation with Capo Lee! We need a Chelsea Asthma pump to break the curse! #CFC
Q: How did Capo first connect with Chelsea beyond being a fan?
Capo explains his remix and collaboration with Chelsea through Jamal Edwards and a training-ground campaign, which led to longer involvement and a higher-profile ad shoot with the players.
#1655 | Matt Law Special! Worried Or Not Worried? 90 Min Display? Defense? #CFC
Q: How do you assess Chelsea's current midfield balance and the front three's impact?
They acknowledge the front three have been extraordinarily productive, but worry about the defensive and midfield support, the depth of the squad, and how injuries could disrupt the balance and performance going forward.
#1626 | Ben Jacobs Special! Our New Veterans! More Outgoings? FIFA? #CFC
Q: What do you make of the Henderson signing and how it fits Chelsea's culture-building approach?
It's a smart, low-risk move that adds a strong character and leadership presence in the dressing room, which should help stabilize the team and set standards while the younger players develop.
#1613 | Fan Mailbag! Tactics with Xabi! Summer Transfer Targets! Squad Management! ft. CFC Central #CFC
Q: If you had 100 million to spend, what would your signing strategy look like?
The approach would be to split the budget across 2-3 players, prioritizing defensive reinforcements and possible central midfield upgrades, while considering outgoings to free up wage and transfer space, with a plan to target players who can adapt to a flexible system rather than a single fixed role.
