Hello and welcome to straight out of Cobham, the Chelsea FC podcast from The Athletic.

Each week we break down all the latest blues news, as well as looking back on some of the big stories from days gone by.

Coming up on this episode, as preparations for the return of the Premier League ramp up,

we check in with how things are going at Cobham.

We'll look back on the brief Chelsea career of Romulo Lucaku and celebrate the anniversary of Chelsea's thumping Europa League final win against Arsenal.

We'll also answer your questions, all that to come.

On this edition of Straight Out of Cobham.

Yes, hello, listener, whether you're with us for the first time or you've been on board since day one, welcome into our weekly Chelsea chat. I'm Matt Davis Adams, excited that I might well get to commentate on a Chelsea game this month. Now, that's not the only reason I'm giddy with glee, though I also get to pick the brains of the athletics three up front when it comes to Chelsea. Now, I feel like my introductions are getting more and more laboured as lockdown fever takes holes. So this week, I'm going Route 1. First up, please join me in saying hello to Liam, to me. Hello. Dominic Fivefield is here too. Hey, how you doing? Good. And we couldn't have a show. Well, we could, and we have actually, but it wouldn't be the same without Simon Johnson. Greetings.

Greetings, indeed.

Just to say, Matt, I'm now getting asked about the KeePi Uppy Challenge on other podcasts.

It's gained a life of its own.

Were all the questions about the sunglasses or were any about the KeeP Ups? No, the question I got over the weekend on another podcast was what my potential is,

what my upper limit is for keepy uppies.

They were every bit as interested as you are in knowing the limit of my keepy upy talents.

But I haven't made much progress towards the 250 target yet.

Just keepy-uppy, so not journalism.

As soon as we finish this pod, you need to be getting back outside onto that rooftop with ball at feet.

I do think that you'll find it much easier without the sunglasses, but, you know, that's your decision.

Okay, we we got the important

keep you upy update out the way how about some news about actual football so we now know that

the premier league will return later this month with all 92 remaining matches being aired on

television in a variety of time slots and of course being played behind closed doors
