Stamford Chidge is joined by Jonathan Kydd (from his hospital bed!), Clayton Beerman and Dayne Whittle to review the last match of the season against Newcastle.

And breathe. Yes, Chelsea’s worst season for nearly 30 years is finally consigned to the dustbin where it belongs. We look back at the last match against Newcastle, where Chelsea did ok against a Newcastle side clearly sipping cocktails on the beach. The usual profligacy in front of goal by Chelsea; why break the cycle eh lads? Of more interest was who might be playing their last game? Azpi with a superb banner to honour him? Loftus-Cheek who gave the “I’m off” clap to all four stands in the ground? Mason Mount who looked tearful in the lap of appreciation.

We know Frank is off and he got a well deserved warm send off. But it’s now “Hello, hello, Pochettino; Pochettino!” as our new manager has been announced. Interestingly one of his first decisions may have been to refuse to put an offer in on Felix who is set to return to Atletico Madrid. We wrap up part one with a chat about a fantastic evening at the 1983/84 re-union at Under the Bridge on Saturday night.

In part two we welcome back Garry Hayes and Ceri Levy from The Chels to talk about the next installment of their superb documentary podcast series on Chelsea from the Hoddle era to Munich, called The Blueprint. The next episodes are available from May 31st from wherever you get your podcasts. Make sure you check them out. The Blueprint
