So here’s my news. I had my surgery on Tuesday and God willing I am going home tomorrow! It’s been a quick turnaround but all looks good. Now the blues must do the same! Come on the Chels!

The latest news. I’m still in hospital waiting for an aortic valve heart replacement and I’ve just been told that the op is set for Thursday and then 3 months recovery. We should be top of the league by ten points then! Don’t disappoint me Chelsea!
@ChelseaPodcast
@mrasaunders
Thank you
@mrasaunders
for letting people know about me.This is what’s happening. I’m getting surgery to replace the aortic valve in my heart at glenfield hospital.Being moved tomorrow.Thank you all for your kind and wonderful messages. Each one makes me stronger
@ChelseaPodcast
A momentous day! Went to hospital for my six-week check up,tests went well and now discharged! On to gym rehab for 2 months and nearing a return to normality!! Whatever that may mean in these strange times. See you soon
@mrasaunders
and
@ChelseaPodcast
and wildlife trips beckon!
Yesterday I walked the courtyard garden at Glenfield hospital for the last time.Daily I walked in circles for a month averaging over 10,000 steps. It kept me mentally strong and fit while waiting for my operation.The power of outdoor spaces! Thank you garden. Thank you
#NHS
I hope Xmas is going well for everyone and just wanted to say a huge thank you to all those that supported me on here through difficult times this year! Here’s to 2022 and hopefully getting back to some semblance of normality!
Never in doubt!! One of the greatest Chelsea team performances ever. Reece James was superb as was Christensen and the rest of the team.

What I would say about Frank Lampard and
@morriskid
and all at Chelsea is that they are overseeing the two most difficult seasons in Chelsea's history. A transfer ban and then Covid football. Yes, there are issues but they can be overcome. We need this rebuild and it takes time.
I am not there tonight but a part of Chelsea history and a part of Stamford Bridge is with me tonight. A seat from the old West Stand! It’s not very comfy but tonight is not about being comfortable!
Chelsea are with me and I am with Chelsea!
#ChampionsLeagueFinal
Thanks for everyone's good wishes! I am feeling better and self-isolation is nearly up! One more day to go and as long as I feel ok and show no symptoms, which I don't, I will be out and back into... normal lockdown! Weird but that now seems like a reward!
The series we have been working on over the last 8 years begins tomorrow with an exclusive interview with Ken Bates talking us through the major moments of his Chelsea tenure.

Well we can be proud of Chelsea today. We saw the high tempo game that Tuchel wants to play and we saw it working. Kova and Kante were magnificent and just perhaps that goal has helped Pulisic turn the corner. Imagine when everyone is fit!

Some news - after 13 years and over 500 episodes we have decided to call time on the
@chelseapodcast
. Although we have loved doing it we are all now involved in numerous other projects that have made it increasingly hard to get together on a weekly basis.
Can't wait to see Frank's team in the flesh on Sunday after last night and so many excellent performances. Kante was immense. Jorginho was incisive and Pulisic is extremely talented.Zouma fought his corner too. Top notch from all.

Ok... We must be realistic about the team.This side will look remarkably different in a few weeks time.
One major point is that Tomori must surely have played his way into the squad for the season. No loan for him.
@ChelseaPodcast
An amazing afternoon spent with
@JohnTerry26
talking through his extraordinary Chelsea career to
@garryhayes
and myself.
Incredible listening and you will hear it soon enough.
It’s going to have been worth the wait, I promise you and I never break a promise!
Thank you to everyone who has sent kind messages and listened to
@Blueprint_pod
this week.
It’s incredible to see it remain in the top 10 after all this time. An independent series, competing with so many other great pods.
From
@cerilevy
and me, the response has been humbling.
People know I’ve had my fair share of illness & a few near death experiences. It seems this was the closest I’ve been. I’m thankful for the prayers & love that got me through. Now I’ve got unfinished business. Gods plan for me!!

One fantastic new addition to the household today! This authentic and original Chelsea FC West Stand seat. My first seat as a kid was number 49 in the West Stand. A few hundred were salvaged in the 90's and were sold off. Come on you Blues!

@mrasaunders
Gareth Southgate and his team (including the exceptional Steve Holland) have created a sense of family that has long been missing from England teams. No egos, just players playing with spirit, unity and heart. Not since 1996 have I been prouder of our team!
I have completed the 100km walk for
@DementiaUK
but am going to carry on for the whole of June. I intend to raise as much as possible for such a great cause!
Two Chelsea 97/99 shirts... the kit JT made his debut in.
We will be giving these away soon as part of a competition linked with our final four episodes of The Blueprint, season one.
We'll confirm details soon.
Thanks to
@JohnTerry26
for being incredible!
Finally getting the chance to sit down with JT was more than worth the wait. He was utterly brilliant and gave us so much insight into Chelsea and football.
Looking forward to sharing it with you all!
📢 UPDATE ALERT 📢
As you know, we’ve been conducting our final interviews… but can confirm…
🔹 19 July: Ep.5 - Champions League or Bust drops
🔹 Normal service resumes weekly thereafter
🔹 “The

Tapes” released in full (two parts) after our season 1 run ends
I do believe there should be punishment for the six.I have no issue with that. What should it be?Perhaps financial and payments to be made to grass roots and lower level football? God knows money is needed there. Let some good come out of this.
#FansUnite
We have had two defeats and yet the feel good factor seems to be back at Chelsea! Feels like early days of Mourinho, Ancelotti, Vialli and Hoddle. Remarkable.

I’m up to 25km walked in support of
@DementiaUK
! Thank you to all those who have sponsored me so far! It’s amazing how much we’ve raised together. And we’ve only just started the walk! Here’s another reason why I’m doing this. It’s personal…
If that man, I will not use his name, did come back as PM then I would have to think about moving far far away from this country that has lost its mind. Perhaps Patagonia and go in search of lost Welsh relatives. What's it like getting a dog into Argentina?
#packthebags
The intolerance that members of the media and some fans have is extraordinary. The hierarchy at Chelsea knew Frank was inexperienced and accepted that. The outcry from so-called journalists is hysterical, pompous and ignorant.
Things we discovered from the Villa game.Jim Rosenthal is alive.Jim Beglin is too.Both as irritating as ever.Callum is becoming the player;Pulisic is a fraction off being fully back;we need to accept things take time to gel;it's one from three for the central striking role.
Thoughts on yesterday.We are work in progress but we are headed in a brilliant direction which takes time but I am already prouder of this Chelsea side than I have been in years and let's not forget we have had so many injuries to contend with.VAR? If it's offside, it's offside.
Glad to say that the latest episode of
@Blueprint_pod
is up now. So much in it. Sometimes it gets forgotten how Claudio Ranieri set foundations for the winning formula for Chelsea. JT and Frank Lampard were two important ingredients.

We need to boot this racism back to the eighties. There was actually no place for it then and there is definitely no place for it now. But that fight back then helped me grow as a person as I hope it helps many youngsters today grow too. NO TO RACISM!
We’re the only team in London to win the European Cup, we’re the only team in London to win the European Cup, We’re the only team in London, the only team in London, the only team in London to win the European Cup! All together now...

When we are playing in a normal world then is the time to look at where we stand. Nothing is close to a normal season right now and yes we aren't doing well but there are mitigating circumstances and yes there have been mistakes made. But now we need to unite behind the team
Delighted that our work over the last few years is coming to fruition and we are looking forward to sharing this! We have chatted to so many amazing people throughout.
