    He’s honest. Not too much of a homer. Listened to it through the last few dark years. Really been enjoying listening through the exciting summer and start to the season.

    I discovered this recently and am really enjoying it. Daniel knows his stuff and his views are interesting and carefully considered. Best of all, there no padding and each episode is only as long as it needa to be.

  • Hato

    I’m here in New Orleans and love listening to you. I have a question: when a young player like Hato comes into the club to play as an understudy to someone does the starting player take them under their wing and help groom them or find them as a threat and let them sink or swim on their own? Keep up the great work!!!

    I’m not sold on Sanchez but we need stability in the back line to gain trust our midfield is brilliant and if the offense contributes more goals a top three is guaranteed

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Morning Blues: Palmer Hypocrisy, Cobham Plans, & Defensive Reality Checks
Q: What are your thoughts on the Piers Morgan coverage of Cole Palmer and the England duty situation?
The host argues that Morgan's criticisms are hypocritical and part of a broader, cathartic media cycle, pointing out similar cases (like Declan Rice) where players avoided international duty without similar backlash, and suggesting Palmer's situation is muddled by injury and management decisions rather than a simple choice.
Inside Chelsea: Liam Twomey on Clearlake, Xabi Alonso, and the Future of Stamford Bridge
Q: Where do you think Chelsea are going to finish this season?
Liam predicts Chelsea will likely finish around fifth in the Premier League, depending on how they navigate remaining fixtures and the balance between attack and midfield, while acknowledging the competition's strength and the City situation as a wild-card factor.
An Honest Look at Chelsea’s Season So Far
Q: Yeah. I think that the easiest place to start is just your assessments of the season so far.
The guest provides a balanced view: the start had ups and downs, with a good early run and some defensive vulnerabilities; possession has been low, but the team has shown ability to score in moments and the crowd has remained supportive, with potential tactical shifts discussed for the post-international break.
Chelsea Q&A: Fixing The Defense, Cole Palmer Injury Update, & Alonso’s Struggles
Q: Can the club address why it doesn't want to hire a guy like JT to sort out the first team's defense?
The host discusses John Terry's potential role, weighing his institutional knowledge and headlines against practical coaching considerations, noting that Terry's presence could influence perception and attention, but stressing that the club must consider current coaching structure and long-term fit beyond a single figure.
The Blueprint to Fix Chelsea's Midfield Crisis
Q: Will we get Champions League with current midfield options until the end of the season? And do you see a midfield of Caicedo and Henderson working?
The host argues that while current midfield options are not flawless, there is a plausible path to Champions League football if the team improves structure and adds depth, with Henderson bringing leadership and Caicedo offering off-the-ball intelligence, though it may require further reinforcements.
