The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 29th September 2025!
Morning all,
I hope you had a good weekend despite Chelsea losing and continuing their little slump right now. Winning two games in the league out of six so far is not good enough at all and we simply must bounce back now.
I’ve got some words in the aftermath of the game, but this one was a pretty easy one to review because it was quite simple to me why we lost. Get those words in full here.
You can read every word Enzo Maresca said after the game here. And perhaps more importantly, I’ve thrown a poll in this one that I’d like you to all take part in please.
More reactions, quotes, and every other bit of general Chelsea news from Sunday can be found in The Blues News report here.
Maresca is well aware that he needs to qualify for the Champions League again this season as a minimum expectation set by the club. So of course after the slump we are in, there is naturally pressure and naturally tension. But what exactly is going on? Find out here. Late last night, Chelsea sent out the media briefings to every single publication that would listen, that Maresca is safe and there is no pressure right now!
The media have reacted to the Brighton defeat and I’ve drawn out an article actually written by a Chelsea fan/reporter, and it’s a very good one. I have highlighted the points and spoken about them here.
See you all on the next live blog from 8.45am today on the home page.
Peace, Si
The squad is unbalanced and not good enough, Stamford Bridge is sadly too small and we still have no front of shirt sponsor. It’s not going too well and winning the CWC (we played well in one game) doesn’t solve the fundamental problems.
