“Thoughtful and analytical contributions from contrasting viewpoints . I quite like that although they all clearly have chelsea sympathies not every one is a die hard Chelsea fan as it makes for more objective comment. There also appears to be some informal links in Cobham so you feel that your...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast, listened to it every week for the last couple of years. After the final I was looking forward to hearing a podcast that didn't ravish on the chelsea bottlejob angle. But what can you expect from a Palace and Forest run podcast.”Read full review »

“This is a great CFC pod if you want proper journalistic coverage of the Blues. Matt is an impressive and professional broadcast host, Liam is a smart tactical analyst and Simon comes across as a proper footie hack. A good balance of Chelsea fandom and objectivity on the true state of the team and...”Read full review »

“And certainly more entertaining than the football team!
Very good and fair criticism given when needed. Also unbiassed.
Stop reading this now and download it!
Oh and the quiz on Thursdays is great as well.”

“As a Chelsea fan born and bred in West London I always knew a lot about what was happening and with gossip I got a pretty conclusive new story about Chelsea. Ever since I moved to to New York City though, I haven’t had a good handle on the news, so I went searching on my IPhone for a good...”Read full review »

“Enjoyable, informative - just the right balance between fandom and objective journalism - and love the quizzes. At the risk of being labelled a neanderthal I have no interest in the women’s team and would prefer that they had their own pod, but I suppose that’s what the skip button’s for.”

“Matt is a good host, but the analysis and opinions on matches and players generally rely on tropes and old, outdated ideas of player performance/positioning (Thiago Silva is bad now, guys, and has been for a while). Neither Liam nor Simon actually ask anything remotely profound or interesting of...”Read full review »

“This is certainly the most balanced and informed Chelsea podcast available.
Matt and the guests are all fantastic.
Some other Chelsea podcasts are often let down and lacking in some basic production values, but the production on SOC is excellent.
Long may it continue.
Come on you blues.”

“Matt is everything a host should be; witty, self deprecating and most importantly, impartial.
Haven’t missed an episode since the 2021 season.
The show badly misses Sam Parkin, hopefully they find a way to bring him back.”

It had officially reached a “jumping the shark” moment. It’s just not a...”Read full review »

“Hard to take seriously. Presenter, journalists, and producer all appear to suffer from ‘Main Character’ syndrome. Who cares that they posted something online? Only them. Who needs post-match audio notes full of hot takes which are often rolled back in the rest of an episode? Not even them. This...”Read full review »

“Gossipy and smug commentary. None of the hosts seem to support the club and are more interested in peddling drama. London is Blue Podcast is a far better listen imho. Will say it’s unfortunate because the Athletic produces some great pods.”

“Needs to go back to twice a week. Feels like always on catch up and a lack of depth now everything is crammed into one show. Once a week would work for summer to discuss transfers etc but during season it needs to be twice a week.”

“This was one of the best Chelsea pods until recently, when the budget got cut and they went went from twice to once a week; culling the number of contributors in the process. As well as making things feel less ‘current’ the additional prominence given to the core team of host Matt, Liam Twomey...”Read full review »

“Best Chelsea pod out there but really suffers from the once a week format. Feels like it’s constantly behind the curve now rather than leading from the front. Nit what you expect from the athletic. Still love it but it has really suffered from this change.”

“Matt is a great host and the insight is in depth and informative. Shame that once a week just feels a bit lost, with football (and chelsea) the way it is, a top story one day is soon lost.
Bring back two per week!”
