We Ain't Got No History: for Chelsea FC fans

The return of the Loan Report! — #50 — We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! The start to the season has been a very good one for Chelsea and we were luckily joined by WAGNH community member Siva a.k.a. eternalblue to discuss and look back at all the positives that come to mind. From Romelu Lukaku’s exceptional form and Mateo Kovacic’s newly found clinical touch to the difficult position Callum Hudson-Odoi may find himself in this season, we tried to address all the current issues surrounding the Chelsea squad. There was also a heated debate revolving around the Blues' contract situations, most prominently concerning a possible departure of Toni Rüdiger.

Should Chelsea do everything possible to keep Toni Rüdiger? — #49 — We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! With Ram on holiday, I brought in some quality reinforcements to record the big Premier League season preview for the 2021/22 campaign. I was joined by two well-known faces in part-time Chelsea philosopher Ollie Glanvill and WAGNH’s very own Fellipe Miranda. Needless to say, this one was a cracker! Questions about Romelu Lukaku’s impact on the season ahead, squad planning, and a potential formation change were all on the agenda. Also: what are our realistic expectations of Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea this season? Who will be our biggest rivals up top? Is a title challenge the bare minimum? We had a lot of fun speculating about top 4, POTY, top scorer, and a lot more during our quick-fire prediction questionnaire. Finally, we also had a crack at predicting Chelsea’s upcoming Super Cup encounter against Villarreal. WARNING: may include hot-takes!

The big Chelsea season preview! — #48 — We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! The start of the season is just around the corner and we sat down with fellow WAGNH writer Jay Woolmington to discuss the most pressing Chelsea issues in this episode. Preseason results, fringe players potentially deserving of a squad spot (or not), and juicy transfer gossip were all on the agenda. Safe to say, we were all pretty happy about the thought of Romelu Lukaku a.k.a. The Kraken returning. With Jay joining us, we also had the great opportunity to have a look at the brilliance behind how Chelsea Women have become the European heavyweights they currently are. WARNING: includes some extensive gushing over Emma Hayes. P.S. at the time the episode was recorded the most recent news about Romelu Lukaku hadn’t been reported yet!

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! After an eventful few weeks of international football, Chelsea's finally back and preseason is in full swing. In this episode, we therefore welcomed back podcast expert and part-time WAGNH-enthusiast Joe Tweedie as the three of us took the opportunity to reflect on several hot topics surrounding Chelsea. How did the Blues' representatives fare at Euro 2020? Who should win the Ballon d'Or this year (warning: may include Blue tinted glasses)? Which positions should Chelsea be looking to strengthen in during the transfer window? Haaland? Rice? The main part of this episode saw us take on the contemporary question whether or not Chelsea's recent academy exodus should worry us and how the club could attempt to counter the tricky situation we currently find ourselves in. Should we panic? Will this be the begin of a trend? Or is it all being blown out of proportion?

Should Chelsea be punished for their participation in the Super League? — #43 — We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! After a terrible defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened West Brom, we tried to make sense of what went wrong for Chelsea by using discussion as a tonic against the pain. To do so, we were joined by returning guests and fellow WAGNH community members Robert Hanson a.k.a. simongabriel and Siva Sankar a.k.a. eternalblue who both helped us analyze Chelsea's abysmal showing with some insightful stats and opinions. Questions were asked with regards to certain players' positions at the club (spoiler: one's Tammy Abraham) and what Thomas Tuchel has to do to react appropriately, among several other topics. We also looked at the upcoming Champions League quarter-final game against FC Porto, including some cautious predictions, potential tactics and how Malang Sarr has been doing at Chelsea's upcoming opponent.

We also had a look at the until now perceived weak points of Thomas Tuchel's system, what has to be done to improve.

Was Tuchel right to substitute Hudson-Odoi? - #40 - We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! For our newest episode, I was joined by fellow WAGNH writers Brian Yatco and Fellipe Miranda as Ram sat this one out, but will be back and up for it in the next! The three of us tried to process an eventful week for Chelsea, making use of the theme “the good, the bad, the ugly” to analyze and discuss the newest developments. The managerial appointment was naturally a major talking point, but we also looked to discuss the first games of the “new” era, tinkering formations, the impact on the players, possible new leases of life, and of course Frank Lampard’s departure. Combining positives and negatives, the episode made out to be a balanced chat about what has become part of Chelsea’s identity - whether we like that or not.

The “new” Chelsea - the good, the bad, the ugly - #39 - We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! Our newest episode saw us discuss a Chelsea win over League Two side Morecambe together with fellow community member Saelenn (otherwise known as Sealy Sealson) as we gave our first thoughts on a strong lineup and performance. Goals were scored and some pressure lifted, but is everything rosy again? The persisting lack of utelizing players to their strengths was a hot topic. How might things change to bring the Blues back to winning ways in the Premier League? Does Frank Lampard need to be more flexible? Those were only a few of several questions we asked ourselves. On a very positive note, we also chatted up the steady resurgence of Chelsea’s most in-form attacker and how his situation needs to be handled from now on. Time stamps: 1:33 Full-time thoughts after win against Morecambe 9:57 Goal droughts ended, but still problem of square pegs in round holes? 17:29 Building on win; tweaks still needed? 28:25 Hot-take on Mount x Havertz 34:49 Is a certain winger now Chelsea’s best attacking threat? 42:19 Chelsea’s tactics - do we have a style of play? 53:02 Is Frank Lampard walking on thin ice? 1:07:15 Previewing the Fulham game Please also make sure to follow us on Twitter: Jimmy a.k.a.

Callum Hudson-Odoi HAS to start! - #38 - We Ain't Got No Podcast

Welcome to "We Ain't Got No Podcast", a production of SB Nation's Chelsea blog 'We Ain't Got No History'! In our thirty-seventh episode, we looked at two painful Chelsea defeats over the past week, attempting to analyze and name what went wrong against Everton and Wolves. What could Chelsea and Frank Lampard have done better and where did things go so terribly wrong? How much is playing Werner and Havertz out of position affecting our team performances; how much are we REALLY missing Hakim Ziyech? Is there an easy way to get a positive reaction out of the team against West Ham? We also posed the question whether or not the statistic of not having won against top half teams yet this season should be a concern, as well as what the immediate needs for the January transfer window are. Finally, we also had a look at the very recently changed managerial situation for one of, if not the, most exciting Blues prospect on loan right now, Connor Gallagher. What kind of an impact will Sam Allardyce's introduction at West Brom have on his playing time? Does he still have a future at the Hawthorns? Ram shared his expert opinions on the matter! We addressed all this and more, so tune in to hear us ramble on about everything Chelsea Football Club! Please also make sure to follow us on Twitter: Jimmy a.k.a.
