There's an old adage that this is the most wonderful time of the year, but you could have fooled me.

Festive fixtures off to a terrible start.

With ambiguity surrounding Chelsea's next match, we just have to wallow in it folks. I will be

your shoulder to cry on. Chris Wittingham will be my shoulder to cry on. We'll bring in

Jenny Chu. She'll be your shoulder for everybody to cry on coming your way next

long ball from the back emotional hosts mike Ryan Ruiz here joined as always by my neutral observer.

How many episodes was it? Four episodes ago where you were telling me that Chelsea were title contenders.

This is very clearly now become a fight for the top four.

A fight even with Assembilla who Chelsea just lost to. Now beneath Hasin Villa in the table and Asin Villa has two

matches in hand because of COVID. And Chelsea had a nice lucky knack of dropping points at the right time when everyone else would

seemingly drop points two and at a time of recording we don't know how the rest of festive fixture

list two is going to shake out but you can only be so lucky for so long if you're Chelsea and I'd rather not concentrate on what's happening with the other teams.

Let's concentrate on what's happening with Chelsea.

Now, Chris, before I throw it over to you

and your neutral thoughts, let me get some emotion out.

These two disappointing results, the loss to Arsenal

and then the draw to Aston Villa.

We called that one correctly here on Chelsea Mike that.

We told you that we're going to draw Aston Villa.
