With Jonathan Kydd away this week, Stamford Chidge is joined by 'The Smut Buddies', Tony Glover and Alex Churchill to look back at a pathetic defeat to Arsenal and ahead to Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

In part one we look back at Chelsea's 3-1 defeat away to Arsenal and ask Azpi why? Kova why? Sterling why? No Mudryk or Gallagher why? Yet again Chelsea showed No pressing, no effort, no responsibility in a shambolic performance. Raheem Sterling – what a waste of money! The return of Keystone Kops defending. But, we scored a goal – well done Mudueke! And it was great support from those who stayed.

In part two we look ahead to the match against Bournemouth on Saturday, kicking off with Chidge's team selection. On the bleak side we haven’t lost 7 in a row since 1961 and 5 PL matches since 1993 – Chelsea always making history! Bournemouth on a good run – will they be on the beach? But they have high energy and intensity – everything we don’t – is this a concern?

We also talk about Boehly’s comments and ask should he talk to the fans about what's going on at Chelsea rather than the financial press? Should Lukaku get another go next season Should Frank have a role at Chelsea going forward?

As ever we wrap up with our predictions.
