After spending most of his career keeping strikers out, Carlo Cudicini is now reaching out to the planet’s two most talented footballers…and he’s after their kit! Sky Sports presenter David Garrido chats to the now-loan player technical coach at Chelsea who has his own organisation, Footballers4Change. Its objective is to collect the match-worn shirts and boots of players (and indeed their families’ clothes) to extend the lifecycle of those items and raise money for charity in the process. Cudicini gives us his views on fast fashion, and talks us through some of the gear donated by the likes of Gareth Southgate, Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard, including a very specific use for the Belgian’s size 6 trainers!

London is Blue is a soccer fancast created by Chelsea FC fans from America and covers all things Chelsea. Hosts are @BBBusbee, @DanDormer and @NickVerlaney. London is Blue is proud to be presented by WorldSoccerShop. Visit them at www.WorldSoccerShop.com to find the best Chelsea FC gear! GUEST: Joe Tweeds, @JoeTweedie Part 1: Swansea City Review Chelsea 3-1 Swansea City, Premier League Saturday, February 25th | Stamford Bridge The big headlines from this match were Cesc Fabregas starting alongside N'Golo Kante, Pedro continuing his run of fine form, and Diego Costa finishes off a great move started by Eden Hazard. We tackle the Fabregas vs. Matic debate and question why Chelsea fans are so bitter after a 3-1 win? Are fans disillusioned with FIFA scores these days and forget that the Premier League is the best league in the world? We wrap up with our Man of the Match poll and the Top 6 standings in the table. Part 2: Social Media Questions Questions from social media include Pedro versus Willian, is Cesc playing like Lampard, why is John Terry learning Portuguese, and what would our starting eleven players be if we could only choose 3 senior team players? Part 3: West Ham United Preview Chelsea at West Ham United, Premier League Monday, March 6th | London Stadium As we preview Chelsea’s match against West Ham United, we look at recent results against Watford, West Brom, Southampton, Manchester City, and Middlesbrough. Bilic Seems to be barely hanging onto his job and some key matchups to watch will be Hazard/Pedro versus their outside backs, Luiz versus Carroll if he’s healthy, and even Kante versus Lanzini. The Hammers aren’t in great form so this is another chance for Chelsea to extend their lead. The big lineup question will of course be whether or not Cesc Fabregas starts again… KTBFFH Contact Us Twitter: https://twitter.com/LondonBluePod Instagram: https://instagram.com/LondonBluePod Facebook: https://facebook.com/LondonBluePod Website: http://londonisbluepodcast.com iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/london-is-blue-chelsea-fc/ This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/londonbluepod/support Learn more about your ad choices.
