Series 2, Episode 3 - Incredibly Emotional Moments (with David Baddiel)

FANS

Given the drama and success that has come to define Chelsea in recent decades it was inevitable Sachin would dedicate an episode to the club, and here it is - a chat about the Blues with that most brilliant of guests, David Baddiel.

David, of course, is the man who alongside Frank Skinner played a big part in the 90s being such an amazing decade, first with Fantasy Football and then with Three Lions, and Sachin goes into full giddy-teenager mode as he asks David about that, and specifically if Fantasy Football was, looking back, the inspiration for football podcasts. Including this one.

The conversation then moves onto David's love of Chelsea, which began at the very start of the 1970s in rather sweet circumstances before quickly becoming a difficult, and dangerous, experience. David rode the storm and was eventually basking in the glamour and glory that comes with supporting a club filled with exciting foreign talent, a rich foreign owner and lots and lots of trophies.

David speaks with great wit and intelligence about everything he's experienced as a Chelsea fan during the past 50 years, which in turn leads to interesting discussions about fan pessimism and relationships with managers. And speaking of managers - it's no surprise David and Sachin also chat about José Mourinho. He was ALWAYS going to come up.

Finally, David talks through his all-time Chelsea XI before going back in time and changing one slippery moment from his Chelsea-supporting past.
