The Chelsea Football FanCast: Fannies of the Year!

All's Well That Ends Well!

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:33:02 -0400

Stamford Chidge and the team convene for the last proper FanCast of the season and discuss the Europa Cup win, the Everton game, bidding farewell to Paulo Ferreira and debunk the myth of the Rafa love in!

The end of the season and we’ve won our second European trophy in as many years; secured 3^rd place in the Premier League and automatic Champions League qualification; Super Frankie Lampard breaks the goal scoring record and signs a new contract; Chelsea FanCast has a great party and hell, even Torres scores two important goals – life really can’t be that bad can it?

We discuss the Europa League victory and the last match of the season against Everton on the show and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments. We also ask is the Rafa love in myth or fact – and do we care - after all his tenure is over!

We also have another dose of Chelsea Chadder’s weekly stats, and to wrap up we answer your questions in “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get” – on anything – football or non-football!!

The Chelsea Football FanCast: All’s well that ends well!

Super Frankie Lampard 203! The Chelsea Football FanCast #246

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:04:05 -0400

Stamford Chidge is joined by Lol Bonavia from the Beautiful Game, Lauren, Ross and Pablo to discuss the Sp*rs and Villa games and pay homage to the record breaking legend that IS Super Frankie Lampard 203!!!

From the ridiculous to the sublime – we throw it away against Sp*rs when three points and champions league qualification should have been in the bag, and then on Saturday just when we are looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, Super Sir Frankie Lampard leads us to redemption, scores the record breaking goal to send us out of control!!

We discuss the games against Sp*rs and Villa and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments. We have another dose of Chelsea Chadder’s weekly stats, and to wrap up the live audience ask anyone of us a question in “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get” – on anything – football or non-football!

Reasons to be cheerful, part one! The Chelsea Football FanCast #245

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Sun, 12 May 2013 13:56:59 -0400

Stamford Chidge and the crew discuss the wins against Basle and Man Utd and ask does Rafa deserve any credit, and since when has grinning on a football pitch been a serious crime!!

Amsterdam we are coming and Sp*rs we are coming for you would be an apt summary of the week! Chelsea marched on to their second European final in 2 seasons with a devastating 10 minute spell against Basle last week, and then sneaked a 1-0 win against Utd. If we beat Sp*rs on Wednesday, Champions League qualification will be sorted!! But does the Fat Spanish Waiter deserve any credit or should the players alone take the plaudits. And talking of the players, should David Luiz be vilified for grinning after being kicked by Rafael?

All these and other questions of global importance will be answered on the show tonight, where we discuss the games against Basel and Man Utd and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments. We also have another dose of Chelsea Chadder’s weekly stats, and to wrap up we answer your questions in “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get”.

(Future) Captain, Leader, Geezer! The Chelsea Football FanCast #244

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Wed, 01 May 2013 11:53:30 -0400

Stamford Chidge is joined by Seb, Lauren and Sami from Carefree in the UAE, and the ‘Benches’ to discuss an altogether decent week for Chelsea!

In terms of this season, it has been quite a good week. A win against Basle which leaves us with one foot in the Europa Cup final, and a vital 3 points earned against Swansea solidifying 3^rd spot in the Premier League. And what was the common link in these two results? John Terry and Frank Lampard perhaps? It’s not rocket science is it Rafa!

We discuss the game against Swansea and we look back at the win against Basle. As always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments. We also have another dose of Chelsea Chadder’s weekly stats, and to wrap we answer your questions on anything – football or non-football – in “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get”

The Biter Bit! The Chelsea Football FanCast #242

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:51:44 -0400

Stamford Chidge and the boys are joined by special guest Dan Levene from the Fulham Chronicle to discuss Mad Dog Suarez biting Brana and Rafa's Liverpool love in and all round ineptitude!

Sunday’s match against Liverpool is best summed up by “He waves to the Kop, takes off our best players, doesn't defend our players, leaves our Captain on the bench, Rafa Benitez…he loves Scousers”. Harsh but probably true! From a position where we should have rammed home our advantage, we tried to hang on and ably abetted by another incompetent refereeing performance, we get mugged by a mad rabid biting dog. It could only happen at Liverpool…the home of Rafa Benitez!!!

On a somewhat lively post-traumatic show, we discuss the game against Liverpool and ask is Suarez the biggest xxxx in football, and we look back at the win against Fulham and the Youth team’s excellent semi-final win against Liverpool in the Youth Cup. As always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments, and to wrap the listeners ask us questions in: “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get” – on anything – football or non-football – we just don’t care! We’ll also have news of our end of season party later in the show so stay tuned!

Foyled Again! The Chelsea Football FanCast #241

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 11:12:59 -0400

Stamford Chidge is joined by Sami, Yousif and Fonz from ‘Carefree in the UAE’ as the Chelsea FanCast broadcasts live from Dubai this week to report back on the FA Cup semi-final.

A disappointing, rare and very frustrating exit from the FA Cup against Man City, but who was to blame? Was it Benitez’s cautious and negative approach which meant we took 60 minutes to get in the game or was it Chris Foy, surely one of the most incompetent referees we’ve ever seen?

Stamford Chidge is in Dubai working for a few days and is joined by the boys from ‘Carefree in the UAE’ in Loca Bar to discuss the FA Cup semi-final against Man City and the Rubin Kazan match and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments. We also have a chat about ‘Carefree in the UAE’ and what it is like supporting Chelsea when you live in Dubai.

We’ll also have news of our end of season party later in the show so stay tuned!

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:40:38 -0400

The Boys (and Girl!) are back! After an attack of Fat Spanish Flu, Stamford Chidge returns to discuss Chelsea v Sunderland and Rubin Kazan, The Fannies and asks is Torres really the man behind the mask?

We have had a fairly good week with wins against Utd meaning a return to Wembley, a sound defeat of Rubin Kazan which gives us one foot in the Europa Cup semi-final and a grim win against Benito Di Canio’s Black Shorts to put us third in the league with a game in hand against Spurs. But as we all know it could all go as pear shaped as Rafa Benitez belly, so let’s not count our chickens quite yet!

On this week’s show we discuss the matches against Sunderland and Rubin Kazan and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments, and to wrap we take your questions in “If You Don’t Ask, You Don’t Get” – on be anything – football or non-football – we just don’t care!

We’ll also have news of our end of season party later in the show so stay tuned!

What a great week it was for Chelsea! It seems ages since we were last able to say that doesn’t it!! Successfully dispatching a tough Steua Bucharest side in the Europa coop with Captain Leader Legend JT leading the way with a goal, and Fernando Torres scoring an important goal – wonders will never cease, and then on Sunday, giving the Happy Hammers a slap in a 2-0 battering, Super Frankie Lampards 200^th goal and Eden Hazard playing like the best player in the world. Happy days are here again!

On the show we discuss the matches against Steua and West Ham and as always we’ve got the Fannies where we award our Man of the Match; Chant of the Match; Guinness and Celery moments.
