Please Don't Show This To My Therapist

     Just seven days ago I wrote about the incredible impact 21-year-old midfielder Cole Palmer is having on Chelsea Football Club. He’s scored 23 goals with 13 assists in just 38 appearances, he’s the first Chelsea player to be in the running for the Golden Boot since Didier Drogba won it in 2010, he’s the heart and soul of this team. With a continued run in the FA Cup and strong showings in league play, all was looking well with Palmer on the field. Yet, within merely a week of composing my previous article, the hopes of every Chelsea fan have once more been scrambled.       Let’s begin on Saturday. It’s the semi-finals of the FA Cup, 80,902 screaming fans packed the stands, the lights of the historic Wembley Stadium shining down on what has been a highly anticipated match between Premier League powerhouse Manchester City and Premier League joke Chelsea Football Club. Being at the semi-finals is a concept no one saw coming for Chelsea. It wasn’t an ...

Since transferring from Manchester City on Sept. 1, 2023, Palmer has carried the Chelsea franchise on his back. He’s scored 23 goals with 13 ...

     Have you ever been a fan of a team that historically has been dominant but now sucks so much it hurts to watch? Lately, this has been my life. It’s like a virus that keeps spreading to each one of my favorite sports teams. If you think I’m crazy keep reading, I swear this is real.       As I am sitting here writing this, behind my computer are a bunch of red and blue blobs moving quickly around the screen. Chelsea F.C. versus Liverpool F.C.; a game for the ages. Well, at least it used to be. Historically Chelsea Football Club, a Premier League soccer team, has dominated the soccer world. Eight FA Cup titles, five League Cup titles, two Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League titles, a FIFA Club World Cup title and countless others. In the 2009-10 season, they won their first and only “double:” a Premier League title and the Football Association Cup title. They became the fourth club in history to win a “Erupean Trebel” wh...
