Diego Costa

Competitive football creeps ever closer with the Emirates Cup out of the way, the transfer window hotting up - Daniele De Rossi has signed for Boca Juniors! - and Mike ‘Flannels’ Ashley up to his usual shenanigans. He’s part of a rogues’ gallery that features a pumped up Diego Costa, a fictional version of Carlos Tevez and, somewhat out of left field, Gary McAllister. Enjoy.

Hello again. We reflect on a famous victory for humility’s Jose Mourinho and a surprising Steve Bruce-starring sequel to the Turin Shroud as Man United beat Juventus, a grim tunnel experience for Liverpool and Raheem Sterling’s rub of the green in the Chaaaaaaaampions League. Back on domestic turf Mortal Kombat’s Neil Warnock is still just happy to be here, words are put in mouths and there’s some good old fashioned nihilism.

Well! Spain and Portugal treated us to an all time great and we’re still frothing at the mouthes just thinking about it. Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea, Diego Costa, that Nacho goal. So many moments. This is what it’s all about. On top of all that there’s Mystic Marcus the psychic pig, a surprisingly misfiring Luis Suarez, and an own goal that may prove to be fateful for everyone’s favourite heartbreaker.

Diego Costa has a lovely time parading himself around Atletico's shiny new stadium before Chelsea get one over on him, there's a striker crisis for Crystal Palace as they have no fit strikers (apart from the fit striker they have) and we conclude that Harry Kane is in fact very good indeed. On top of that we travel back to the time of the superhero player manager again, and a new Ramble honour is created. The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

Plus, a look ahead to Chelsea v. Tottenham and what to make of the Diego Costa holdout situation (30:00).

It's party time for Chelsea as they're crowned champions and Diego Costa learns the perils of pouring carbonated liquids into his own eyes.

Buckle up, because we're covering a lot of ground in this week's episode. In chronological order, here are all the questions the gents were able to get to: – What is Everton's best case scenario if they sell Lukaku and Barkley this summer?– What stops first, and when: Spurs 'competing with the top 4', or Spurs spending around half as much on wages as them?– Does Klopp's style of play have the capacity, with an improved squad, to consistently defeat low block counter-attack Premier League...

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.
