Hammered! The Chelsea Football FanCast #109

email@footballfancast.com (FootballFanCast.com) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:43:25 -0400

The boys are in good voice after Chelsea do proper job on the Hammers which puts us back in pole position at the top of the table. The boys discuss the game, and give their celery, Guinness, man and chant of the match awards. Talk moves on to the return of the Special One for the game against Inter Milan, and the case is made for Joe Cole, plus Dear Mart and You’re on CFFC!.

God’s chosen time for football – 3.00 pm Saturday – puts the boys in good heart this week, although West Ham are not the only ones hammered, as Dr Mart has one or two Guinness too many!

A good team performance highlighted by Malouda’s man of the match performance and Joe Cole’s dazzling cameo, has both the Stamford Bridge faithful and the FanCast crew in full singing voices. Even the proliferation of horse manure along the Fulham Road is discussed as well as Martin’s encounter with Wink Ball!

Joe Cole wins the plaudits in the Guinness moment, Drogba and the MHL combine well for the Celery moment, and there can be only one chant of the match against the caravan dwellers from the East!

We work out the game plan to beat Inter Milan on Tuesday including a non-biased Uefa Ref, an early goal and the crowd getting behind the team, as we look forward to chanting stand up for the special one at the start of the match and you’re not special any more at the end of it!

Chidge holds ‘clear the air’ talks on the most debated issue of the week – and makes a passionate defence and case for keeping Joe Cole and ends with a plea to his favourite player to keep the blue flag flying high.

One of Chelsea’s most proper Chels terrace songs is given an airing in “We’re out to show the world the way to Sing”. Not for the feint hearted, but West Ham get a name check…and all the rest!

Finally Dr Mart answers the questions of the week in “Dear Mart” and Chidge reads out some of the best posts from the week in “You’re on CFFC”

From Stamford Bridge to Wembley! The Chelsea Football FanCast #108

On this week’s show, sticking it up Stoke to get a Wembley semi! Plus Jez Walters from CFC Net talks about the CFC Net website and takes the “60 Second Fan” challenge, as well as our match awards, “Goal of the Month”, “Dear Mart”, a classic song or two and “You’re on CFFC”!

The lads celebrate our seemingly annual trip to Wembley as Chelsea put a spanner in the Potter’s wheel. A thorough and professional job is done on Stoke and their aerial bombardment repelled. We are particularly delighted that John Terry silenced the Stoke boo boys – all together now: “John Terry, knocked you out!!”

Lots of candidates for Man of the Match as Dr Martin and Chris try to nominate the whole team, as well as popular nay surreal choices for Guinness and Celery moments and Chant of the Match. All will be revealed!

Jez Walters from CFC Net is our special guest, and he takes the time honoured “60 Second Fan” challenge. We sing his favourite Chelsea song in “We’re out to show the world the way to sing!” – a very fitting one on FA Cup days to boot! Jez also tells us how the CFC Net web site got started, why it’s important to remain independent from the Club and the vital service it provides to supporters old and new from far and wide, closer to SW6.

Ross get’s to debut his Goal of the Month section with the contenders being Drogba’s free-kick v Hull, his second against The Arse, and his goal against Wolves, plus Ballack and Kalou’s goals against Cardiff. Tough call but we announce the winner.

All this plus the irreverent and irrepressible Dr Martin in another session of “Dear Mart”; Chidge with the best posts of the week in “You’re on CFFC”. And last but by no means least ChelTel mentioning ‘catharsis’ at least 7 times!!

The Referee’s a ******! The Chelsea Football FanCast #107

The boys feel somewhat cheated after the Nightmare at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea’s poor schoolboy performance and a mugging by Man City’s Tevez and Bellamy (Baaaaahhh)!

Much moaning on the FanCast this week as the CFFC crew dissects a bad day at HQ. Mike Dean, no width, no pace, schoolboy defending and no energy are the key villains other than Tevez and Bellamy. At least the loyal supporters who stayed to the bitter end did their bit as the team gave it a go in the last 15 minutes with a 3:1:4 formation!

Tough calls for Man of the Match and Guinness moments – even Mike Dean gets an ironic nomination, but a rip roaring Eng-er-land gets the nod in Chant of the Match, and the (Proper) Chels support gets the Celery moment for their defiant singing in the face of the Wayne Bridge boo boys and early leavers.

And on a similar theme, a terrace favourite featuring a certain vegetable better known as a tickling stick is sung to cheer us all up in “We’re out to show the World the way to sing!” We also look back at a more honourable defeat in Milan last Wednesday but have a hilarious ‘Tale from Milano’ from Paul and Ross (Paulo Rossi collectively!) to enjoy.

All this plus Dr Martin giving us some much needed therapy in Dear Mart answering questions on smallest Chelsea players, Malouda’s role as left back and inevitably, do we care about Wayne Bridge? Finally, in “You’re on CFFC”, Chidge has some unintelligible and hilarious posts from somewhere in the Far East, San Diego. Arizona, Australia and Hastings!

Chidge, AKA ‘The Guvnor' is back from his trip to California to assume complete control over the Chelsea FanCast, and is brought back down to earth by a none too convincing victory over Wolves. But then a win is a win, and getting wins when playing poorly is Championship form.

Chidge gives Chel Tel, Chris, Ross, Stu and of course the Peter Taylor to his Brian Clough (AKA Dr Martin) a big thank you for holding the fort in his absence and then gets down to business to discuss the performance at Wolves and hand out the Man of the Match, Chant of the Match, Guinness and Celery moments!

We look forward to the clash with Inter Milan in midweek and hope that the ‘Special One' doesn't go from hero to nemesis. A repeat of the summer tour 2-0 victory by Jose's old team against his new team would be most welcome. The boys also debate whether Chelsea's new policy of being whiter than white in public is really necessary, but then again with the newspaper talk about Ashley's underpants reflect that it might be! Changing the subject, Chidge gets to talk about his own tour to the States and the San Diego Blues, and can confirm that his behavior was definitely whiter than white!

All this plus perhaps the most famous of Chelsea's songs in "We're out to show the world the way to sing", Dr Martin giving us THE answers to your questions in Dear Mart and you're Uncle Chidge regaining control in "You're on CFFC", all with the mic's turned on and the printer working!

Up for the Cup! - The Chelsea Football FanCast #105

With Chelsea safely through to the FA Cup quarter finals, the Chelsea Fancast team look forward to the draw. Chidge is otherwise engaged with family duties, so Dr. Martin fronts the show once again. Chelsea's defeat by Everton at Goodison in midweek leaves them still top of the league, but not really ‘aving a laugh.

Poor defending at Everton followed by four goals by different scorers against Cardiff represent a week of mixed fortunes for Chelsea. Both matches are discussed, and the Man of the Match and Chant of the Match, Guinness and Celery Moments are awarded.

In "We're out to show the world the way to sing!", Stu takes the lead once more in a rousing old favourite extolling the merits of West London in contrast to those in the North of the capital.

We look at the latest Chelsea gossip: the unfortunate injury to Ashley Cole, FA Cup and League prospects and say farewell to goalkeeper Petar Borota who sadly passed away this week.

Dr. Martin answers your questions on Chelsea-supporting celebrities, our favourite fixtures and Arsene Wenger's mental condition in "Dear Mart". In "You're on CFFC" we read messages from listeners on progress with the new Rio Ferdinand song which was suggested in #104 and an inspirational rant for Chelsea to win the League.

and then there were two! - The Chelsea Football FanCast #104

With Arsenal's title challenge in tatters the Chelsea Fancast boys celebrate a destructive performance by the team which leaves them still top of the league! Dr. Martin covers for Chidge once again whilst he holidays in the West Indes. Chelsea march on after a disappointing draw away to Hull on Tuesday. Four wins against the ‘big three' of Liverpoo, the Arse and ManUre this season without conceding a goal is title-winning form.

With Didier Drogba scoring for fun on his return from Africa, both matches are discussed, and the Man of the Match and Chant of the Match, Guinness and Celery Moments are awarded.

In "We're out to show the world the way to sing!", for no logical reason, Stu leads the boys in an old terrace classic which alludes to our dislike of Liverpool amongst others.

We look at the latest Chelsea gossip, no transfers this window, but with the club rightly exonerated in the Kakuta affair, the cheque book could be out come the summer. The sacking of JT is also discussed as well our League prospects.

Dr. Martin answers questions including one on Chelsea's most underrated players in "Dear Mart". In "You're on CFFC" we read messages from listeners on whether or not Didier Drogba is the best player in the world and one from ChelTel himself which could be the beginning of a song about the new England captain.
