A Chelsea Two-Fer
Sterling gets two, CFC starts Carabao Cup play, and San Antonio Blues preps for a Saturday match against Nottingham Forest.
San Antonio Blues News
There is no stream or broadcast available in the States for Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against AFC Wimbledon, so no watch party at London Pub Wednesday, but you can just go beat the heat with some cold beverages. Don't let us stop you.
HOWEVER we're back on the horse on Saturday morning at 9AM for our match against Nottingham Forest FC. Start your day off right! We're also competing for space against the return of college "football" - so we need to show up and show out.
Chelsea News
Match Result: CHE 3 - LUT 0
How about Raheem Sterling going all out for two goals against Luton Town FC? How about Nicolas Jackson getting his first goal for the club? Magical. Just magical. It was a very nice win for Mauricio Pochettino, his first of the season. Catch the highlights here:
"I had a conversation with the gaffer earlier last week and we've gone through the role and I know exactly what he needs from me and it's as simple as that," Sterling said. "I came in a difficult period, that's all finished," he added. "I think the most important thing, I've had a look at myself and I'm a person who always tries to analyze what I've been doing, what I've done wrong, what I can change."
In other Sterling news, he posted this hilarious TikTok of kids making fun of his "dinosaur arms" run.
Transfers and Injuries
No new injuries, thankfully, but the list remains the same from last week. As for transfers, we're still making moves!
Transferred IN:
- Djordje Petrovic from MLS's New England Revolution
Loaned Out:
- Andrey Santos to Nottingham Forest
- Cesare Casadei to Leicester City
- Romelo Lukaku to Roma (!)
On that last point...
Interesting detail in Lukaku deal - other than dropping his wages for the year at Roma and further two years of his Chelsea contract, Chelsea have also written a £37million release clause into his new contract variation. Sets the price if he does well at Roma this season #cfc

There is also news about Marc Cucurella being loaned to Manchester United... that story is still developing.
#KTBFFH and we'll see you on Saturday!
