The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 15th May 2025!

Morning all!

We’re here! We’ve arrived at FA Cup Final weekend, and for once, Chelsea are involved!! If there is ever a time to leave everything out on that pitch, then Saturday afternoon at Wembley will be that time.

I’ve been previewing it all week with different articles on the FA Cup, and now, my final preview article can be found here. This has my predictions, as well as a chance for you to give yours. It’s the BIG ONE!

William Gallas has been speaking this week about Chelsea’s biggest problem. I mean, there’s more than one… But anyway, Gallas is not wrong at all here, and I also give my words on it.

Xabi Alonso is THE talk of the town around Chelsea right now. I have a couple more articles on him today. One here on his style and how he fits Chelsea much better than Andoni Iraola does. Odd that these two are apparently the top two candidates but very different stylistically.

And another one here based around comments made this week by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. He says he would hand Alonso the keys at Chelsea. But is that what is needed? I give my views on that in the article.

I also had some sourced updates on Alonso to Chelsea in my solo Podcast yesterday! This is positive news here!!

Round up all your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. This includes MANY more positive Alonso to Chelsea updates!

Right, time to focus on the final. GO TIME. Let’s do this Chelsea!!!

As always, I’ll be back on the site now on Sunday, and any big news I get before then will be delivered on the Substack App chat section. I’ll also have the Live Discussion Thread going on there for the big game! COME ON CHELSEA!!!

Peace, Si.
