The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 3rd July 2026!

Morning all,

How are we all doing? Into another weekend and another heatwave in the UK and Europe. Joys. Get those fans back out then I guess!

Round up all your latest Chelsea news in general from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. Covers all you need to know on every story right now.

The World Cup continues to be entertaining, unless England are on of course. I did a bit of a review and reactions article to the England vs DR Congo game here, with some comment on Thomas Tuchel.

I had a sourced article out on Granit Xhaka yesterday morning and since that was out he’s played his latest game in the World Cup - he ideally wanted his future sorted BEFORE this game.. But if you want to read it anyways and missed it, it’s here.

A couple of ‘ranty’ type articles to finish up. Because as I explained earlier this week, I still feel a disconnect with my club. I have hope with Xabi Alonso being here, but I still see things happen that shows why I have such a disconnect. Marco Palestra a ‘ready-made’ signing is one of them… Read my words on that here.

The next thing is the lowballing madness, overpricing our own players, and time wasting in the summer window. Check that out here.

Have a top weekend all. I’ll put any news out I get between now and Sunday when I am back here on the website, on the Substack App in the chat section. If I get nothing, you’ll hear nothing from me until Sunday. I never hold out on info, I’ll always get it to you somehow! :) On that subject, there is another exclusive story I put out on the App last night, so check that out now!

Peace, Si.
