    Clearly the best Chelsea focused pod out there. All panel members are well balanced and highly qualified. I look forward to every edition.

    Matt is the MVP
    Really enjoy this pod. Quality over quantity, I always miss this over the international break. Matt does a great job keeping it light and torturing Simon and Liam with the quiz. Makes sure to give the women’s team their due with the fantastic Jesse Parker Humphreys. Only bad part is the rambling voice notes after matches. Great listen!

    Excellent

    Only Chelsea pod I need
    Great insights on all things Chelsea, and not just the men’s team but also our WSL superstar. Intelligent, fun show

    Top of the Table
    Charming, well-informed hosts with thoughtful, level-headed opinions. A refreshing change from the usual bombastic, overhyped Prem League drivel. The Cole Palmer of Chelsea podcasts

    Why insult Noni?
    I thought it was in poor form for Adams-Davies to dismissively say Noni “isn’t the brightest lad” after he made a pregame post about Wolverhampton (before going on to score 3 goals in the actual match). Why make such a nasty and demeaning remark about a Chelsea player, especially when it had nothing to do with his playing ability? Stop begging for 5-star reviews and start doing better.

    Indispensable listening for Chelsea fans
    Always great insight, news and analysis about the Blues, along with a good dose of humor and camaraderie…or commiseration (depending on the results).

  • Ashtrip
    Honestly, absolutely amazing.
    As a Chelsea fan born and bred in West London I always knew a lot about what was happening and with gossip I got a pretty conclusive new story about Chelsea. Ever since I moved to to New York City though, I haven’t had a good handle on the news, so I went searching on my IPhone for a good podcast. I already have subscribed to the The Athletic’s sports news for NFL and the Premier League so I thought I should try one of their podcasts. After searching for a while I found this gem of a podcast on Apple Podcasts/News and it is very informative and tidy, I also love this podcast because of the direct update of episodes right after CFCW and CFCM games so I always have something to listen to. Also if you like this podcast you should try The Athletic’s “Athletic’s Football” podcast for informative and exciting news from professionals.

  • Di3573
    Best of the bunch
    I listen to a couple Chelsea podcast. This is my favorite. Smart opinions, newsy, and brief. I like that they cover the women’s side too.
  • TheJesseeLuvsYu
    Best Chelsea FC podcast out there!
    Love the lads, even after a loss I always enjoy hearing the viewpoints on this podcast.
  • WillyTurt
    Hands down one of the best CFC pods available!
    Gotta give props to the lads behind the incredibly well-done Chelsea podcast, Straight Outta Cobham. I look forward to both new episodes each and every week and you’re the reason I subscribed to The Athletic as well (honestly loving it, definitely worth the monthly sub). Please keep up the amazing work and thanks for all you do!!!

    More quizzes

    Up the Chels!
    Comprehensive pod about the blues that is informative and highly recommended!
  • Throckmorton79
    The best
    The best Chelsea podcast there is. Matt should host all Athletic podcast.
  • WJward
    Terrible
    Gossipy and smug commentary. None of the hosts seem to support the club and are more interested in peddling drama. London is Blue Podcast is a far better listen imho. Will say it’s unfortunate because the Athletic produces some great pods.
  • nate the average
    Welcome back!
    Extremely enjoyable and insightful Chelsea chat—glad to have you lot back this season
  • Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej
    More episodes please!
    Best Cheslea pod around. Insightful and enjoyable. More episodes please!! Do you hear me The Athletic management/number crunchers??
  • Chris near DC
    Terrific podcast
    The host and commentators are tremendously insightful and articulate. These are no average sports writers. They speak with real substance and care about all things Chelsea.
  • Barça+CFCfan
    Love it!
    This is my favorite podcast! Really fun and enjoyable even though this season hasn’t quite been that. London is blue 💙🤍⚽️
  • Pyro73016
    Best Chelsea Podcast
    I really enjoy this podcast even when watching Chelsea isn’t as enjoyable right now lol. I love the insight the contributors give, and impressed with the memories they have of moments in Chelsea history.
  • Emily in So Cal
    All the news and analysis!!
    Love SOC….best Chels podcast out there!!
  • nordicuser365
    Highlight of my week
    Highlight of my week, even the ads aren’t annoying!
  • FilouBlanco
    Very good journalists who trade access for PR
    It’s just too obvious that whenever the club wants to peddle some narrative, every single one’s of the guest just parrot it over and over with zero critical analysis, regardless of how obviously crazy the message is. It’s obvious that they need to remain on good terms with the club, if you want to host a Chelsea FC podcast. But there should be a balance between access and journalistic integrity. Right now the line is massively skewed in one direction.
  • Skillomie
    Such a shame they’re downgrading to once a week
    Really looked forward to listening to the pod twice a week.. gutted well be losing Sam and Jesse’s insight.. hope the change isn’t permanent.
  • willy.t.90266
    Incredibly well done podcast
    I will truly miss Jessy and Sam on the show. I hope more CFC fans find this podcast so it can continue its insightful, and in-depth, coverage of everything Chelsea!
  • nycopyboy
    Brutal to hear about the cutback of women’s coverage
    Love the show, but disappointed with the news of moving to once a week.
  • KyleS242424
    Great pod!
    Really enjoy this pod
  • BlueNoteJr
    Great pod!
    I’d be pretty upset if they cancelled it.

    A lovely pod about all things CFC. A must for Chelsea fans around the world. Keep up the great work!
  • UpTheChels1970
    Come for the Chelsea expertise, stay for the quiz
    An insightful and terrific podcast with great humor from the host, correspondents, and guests. It’s a fun listen when Chelsea win and great therapy when they don’t. Kudos to Lucy the producer for making it all come together. And Matt is a great Alex Trebek.

    As a Chelsea fan
    This is a must listen every week. Excellent reporting.
  • phschock
    Required listening for every fan
    Not aware of a more thoughtful or insightful show about Chelsea. Has been an indispensable compliment to the Athletic’s excellent coverage of the team, especially during a very trying season. They also do a great job of providing updates on the youth and women’s teams, which are otherwise impossible to find coverage of here in the US.
  • Ryan_Ra
    Fantastic podcast
    Quality hosts and guests, excellent analysis
  • Drewos555
    The best
    Expert analysis and insider reporting. Not explicitly a fan podcast but better for that.
  • TT535
    Best Chelsea Podcast
    Straight out of Cobham is truly the best Chelsea FC podcast out there. It’s not hosted by regular supporters or Chelsea fans but rather professional journalist who work for the athletic and cover Chelsea as their profession.They provide great match reviews, insight, and breaking news found nowhere else. It’s a must listen for any Chelsea supporter.
  • Ar2zee
    The podcast that equals to the club

  • SassGMi
    Not horrible, but not great
    This pod serves as a vehicle to sells eyeballs to the articles. Not very insightful info or analysis discussed.
  • jacerv
    Always looking forward to new episodes
    This is a must-listen-to to every and all Chelsea fans. Always insightful and fun!
  • Peter Jarka-Sellers
    A go-to Blues pod
    A good listen every week
  • royalsquared
    Great pod
    Great for in depth review of the blues
  • chelseablues8
    Excellent Chelsea Podcast
    Listen this podcast for its more journalistic approach to covering Chelsea (I’m also a big fan of some of the other Chelsea “fancasts”). Matt is a great host and Liam, Simon, Dom & Sam all bring different perspectives when they’re on the show. Sam’s perspective as a former academy player has been really fun to hear this year, and getting two shows a week has been awesome. The guys’ Chelsea coverage on the Athletic is also great, go check it out if you can’t get enough all things Chelsea!
