Lots of standout performances - Cucurella, Madueke, Trevoh, Jackson but was it the best performance of the season?

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall, Gate 17's finest, to look back at the draw against Villa and ahead to Spurs on Thursday night. In part one we look back at the draw against Villa, arguably our best performance of the season, where we showed the fight, passion, and good football lacking against Arsenal. Poch’s half-time tweak moving the Poodle inside, worked well. And we shoudl have won it had VAR not intervened to deny Disasi a winning goal. We ask VAR what is...

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...

Stamford Chidge, Jonathan Kydd and Dan Silver look back at a frustrating FA Cup final against Man City and ahead to Tuesday night's match against Arsenal. In part one we reflect on a disappointing and frustrating FA Cup semi-final against Man City. City were leggy and there for the taking - we were the better side for much of the game, but we couldn’t finish a shit. Poch's tactics were good - we took it to them, went long and wide and were good in the transition. It was a good performance....

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at Chelsea v Burnley and ahead to Chelsea v Man Utd. In part one we look at the inept finishing and faiing to break down a team in 19th position who were playing with 10 men for 55 minutes and the indefensible - ot defending the first goal; failing to defend another set piece goal and there should have been a third winning goal. Is the conclusion that some of our players are simply not good enough and likely never will...

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Marco Worrall to look back at the FA Cup quarter final win against Leicester City. In part one, Raheem Sterling discuss! Should Poch have picked him in the first place? Is it a lack of confidence? Is it selfishness. The pen and free kick miss were very, but was it also poor captaincy in letting him take them in the first place? Either way we should never boo a Blue. We say well done to the Super poodle and Ice Cold Palmer, but we should have...
