Chelsea F.C. Women

I got her to sign it and I put it in the frame and I said, I promise this will be framed and I'll never touch it.

Actually, that's my first shirt that I actually got when I started to go see more Chelsea women for the last four years.

And that was what led to how I became the season ticket holder.

But now I'm doing this podcast with you guys.

We have two games to settle, don't we? Both on a Sunday and both in Manchester.

Yeah, so the first one was the Manchester United women's team taking on the Chelsea women's team.

And I said Chelsea would win 2-0.

You said Chelsea would win 3-1.

So the only reason that Chelsea exists is because Fulham turned down a stadium.

Wow, and 40,000 people fit in Stamford Bridge today.

And on Saturday, it is Chelsea women's turn to play there.

It is indeed, which leads us very nicely to our predictions, George.

... saying.

And I'll tell you one thing, from difficult starts for Malo Gusto, with difficult starts for Chelsea Women, 'cause we head to Kingsmeadow Corner after a very difficult start in the WSL against Aston Villa.

Uh, they took on Manchester United in the second game of this WSL season.

Hello and welcome to the Chelsea Women's Fancast Episode 2, a podcast for the Chelsea Women's team, made for the fans, by the fans.

I'm your host, Clayton Mimmon.

Today's pod is entitled Deja Vu, after our disappointing home draw on Saturday against Aston Villa.

That's incredible.

I think when I love seeing women centered partnerships like this, especially with when it comes to women's clubs, because we had Carly Telford on here and she's obviously head of partnerships with Chelsea Women, which is an interesting one because they separated from Chelsea as a club to have these female-centered partnerships that are so important.

Do you find a lot of freedom in that with Gotham and it being an independently owned and why is centering around women so important when it comes to partnerships and then take up from players and staff and everything becomes all encompassing, right?

You mentioned something really important.

um like so rumble

london are partners with chelsea uh fc women so the chelsea women's football team yeah um and they also launched like a match perfection like the new and improved formula or whatever of their match perfection foundation yeah exactly and so the trip was to celebrate the launch and to test the product post with the product announce the product that it's back kind of thing And yeah, that was it.

And I was living in style.

I got an AMG in my door.

Yay! two games and as always you'd get one point for calling the result but an extra point if you get the exact score so we're going to jump in with our very first game of the week

game one is at midday on sunday man united women against chelsea women chelsea obviously a very strong contender for the title this season man united off the back of a loss to relatively new club london city lionesses last weekend george what are you thinking

I'm thinking Chelsea are always very, very strong.

As you say, United haven't started the season amazingly, but they are at home.

It just feels at the moment as if they're moving in a direction of finding ways not to win.

When traditionally Chelsea women, their identity was bound up in finding ways to win.

There were so many games under Emma Hayes where I'd watch them and think they really haven't been good here.

They've really been underwhelming, but they'd grind it out.

And it feels like, I mean, there's obviously been a lot of change on and off the pitch, Chelsea women over the last year or so and over the summer.

And maybe they've lost a bit of that.

And...
