Morning people!

Tomorrow we finally fly back home to the UK after four weeks in paradise. We’ve had a superb honeymoon here in Cyprus, and I might do a sort of reflections article for it all with some images, how it was working from abroad, how I coped still speaking to sources and trying to keep up/watching games etc, what we got up to, that sort of thing, if anyone is interested in for next week.

Whilst I am flying home tomorrow, Chelsea will be playing against Brighton [might have to ask the Pilot for updates!!]. So I’ll be catching up on that one when we land and reviewing it for Sunday’s set of articles. I have a preview and predictions article for the game here. Charlie will kindly be doing a watch along match review for the game, that will be uploaded to the site soon after the full-time whistle so please do remember to check that out!

The live blog was running yesterday as always, you can catch that here for all the latest Chelsea news, quotes, and transfer rumours. In here, the announcement of our second expert to the recruitment department in two days!

Something different for you today now, and something that really exercised my brain cells (both of them 😅). I’ve got an interactive poll article here. It’s basically a list of questions that I came up with, Podcast style, as a bit of fun and entertainment that I could get you all involved with as well. So please take part if you can.

Meanwhile, Chelsea announced the hiring of Laurence Stewart as technical director this week, so I’ve done some extensive research on him here. This also has some really insightful and excellent quotes from the man himself, so make sure you do check this out. It’s very interesting.

Finally, a piece on quotes and comments from two experts, or at least people much more qualified to speak on football than me, regarding the midfield and more specifically, the use of a defensive midfielder. Check that one out here as I continue to bang my drum on it!

Finally, finally, the Pod! We had Matt Debono, the owner of Absolute Chelsea join us this week, and I must say, it was one heck of a show. Check it here!

That’s it for now. I’m off to pack my case and head home to the cold, damn…… Will catch up when I’m back, have a great weekend and UTC!

Peace, Si.
