The Chelsea FC Newsletter: NEW YEARS DAY 2025!!

Morning everyone!

A massive Happy New Year to you all as we enter 2025! We’ve made it to another year!

I hope you all had a great night last night whatever you did to see it in, if you even saw it in. I absolutely didn’t and never do these days!

Once again, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for being here with us in this amazing Chelsea community for another year. I see the ‘day ones’ always, those who always comment, those who have been here from day dot, I see you all, and I massively appreciate every single one of you, even the new members who might have only just joined us. What took you so long though!? ;)

The January transfer window is also now OPEN! Chelsea should really be on that blower to Liam Delap this morning after he absolutely terrorised us on Monday night, no? Some words on that, and also once again calling for improvements to be added to our squad and what we need to truly be ‘back’ once again in here.

I have more reflections and forecasting into 2025 based around Enzo Maresca in here. This one hones in on some comments from Maresca this week as well as my thoughts on what he is doing right, what he is doing wrong, and what he is also saying right and wrong, in my view.

The Score dropped in this week to remind us all that the criticism is deserved but sometimes goes too far. People have been calling for Maresca out, which for me is just silly at this point, but I’m not surprised. Fans are fickle, in both directions. As always, more balance is needed, and Score has some in here.

Marc Cucurella reacted after the Ipswich defeat and to be honest, his words were pretty smart and once again, is just the reality that we are facing right now. Check those out and my opinion on them in here.

I ran the live blog yesterday on and off as I was doing some family bits on New Years Eve. But I still covered all your latest Chelsea news in the same place in here. This has it all, any transfer rumours, general news, quotes, the lot… all you need to know!

Enjoy your News Years Day all! I will run a blog today but my Wife is working so I have the boy all day. So once again, it will be a very bitty blog and I will just have to jump on as and when I can.

2025, let’s go!!!

Peace, Si.
