  • Best Chelsea show around

    I’ve listened to a few Chelsea podcasts and SOC is by far the best one. Great insight on the team and they present the information in a witty and interesting way. Highly recommend to any Chelsea fan looking for a podcast to listen to about the team.

  • Enjoyable

    It’s so nice to have a positive Chelsea-focused podcast when so much of the media takes shots at the club (some fair, a lot of them not so much). Matt is the best and most likable host around, he’s just pleasant to listen to and I’m always happy to hear him on other podcasts as well. The rotating guests are fun and I love checking in with the pod after each match to recap. Keep up the good work!

  • Great podcast - shame about the ads

    This is by far the best of the Blues-focused podcasts. Only drawback in Australia at least is all the dreadful gambling ads - not just obnoxious and repetitive but really badly made: bring on the ban!
