Up the Chels!!
Welcome back to another episode.
As Chelsea book a place in the FA Cup final for the 3rd consecutive year in a row, we ask ourselves if possibly this is our year?
I am joined by returning guests in Judah alongside Dimeji, as I warmly welcome to the podcast debutants in Tori & Kolar (Kolar who's an Arsenal fan).
We look forward in eager anticipation at the upcoming London Derby at the Bridge as Chelsea seek to put an end to Arsenal's unbeaten run in this fixture (in recent history) invariably further denting their UCL Qualification aspirations.
In addition, we debate a few more topics such as should Lukaku be given an extra year at the club or should he leave right away?
This episode was full of funny moments & we hope you enjoy it as much as the experience we had.
We would love to hear from you, also feel free to leave a review & follow the podcast on your preferred platform.
Cheers & Up the Chels.
