“If big Pete’s happy then I’m happy” is from the CL documentary “Kings of Europe”, the context is Cech in the 2008 final wasn’t happy from day one when we got to Russia cause everything was read but when we got to Germany for the 2012 final everything was blue so he felt really good about us winning it.
I love Rory Jennings man, he said at 13:58 that John Terry was baffled and looked out of his depth up against Falcao in the 2012 Super Cup. Only problem is that Chelsea played David Luiz and Gary Cahill that day, Terry wasn't even in the squad.

Ripple. My sister and I cost my dad a Premier League title. The year is 2003 and Leeds United are selling Nigel Martyn due to their financial issues with Martyn’s wages being higher than Paul Robinson’s at the time. There are two clubs going in for him, Everton (who he subsequently goes to) and Chelsea. Both clubs were offering a second choice keeper role behind Wright and Cudicini. Myself being 10 at the time, I remember vividly my dad, being the great father he is, asking me how I’d feel if I had to move away down to London. I wasn’t that enthusiastic of the idea as I had my friends up in Leeds and was settled at a school I really enjoyed. My sister was also in the same situation. This meant that my dad chose to sign for Everton and drive across to Liverpool from Leeds every morning for training. Unfortunately for Richard Wright, he got injured a few games into the season and Nige was called up, performed incredibly and then kept the number 1 spot for the subsequent 3 years. Also making some extremely important saves and clean sheets that actually kept Everton from being relegated that season and Leeds went down after Nige left. (So one could say, if one were so inclined, that I helped keep Everton up that year? 😉) Nige was also instrumental in helping Everton finish 4th (Everton’s highest Premier League finish) in his second season. David Moyes then goes on to say that Nigel Martyn is his best ever signing. However if Nige had gone to Chelsea, they wouldn’t have needed to buy Petr Cech (so where does Cech end up then?) and he would’ve been in the Mourinho team that won the league with 15 goals conceded and I feel he could have pushed for the first choice spot from Cudicini like he did against Wright at Everton. So in conclusion, I’m tangentially (kinda) responsible for keeping Everton in the Premier League, costing my father a Premier League title and Petr Cech going to Chelsea. 😂 Only Forwards 🐌

But that means they'd have to get Robbie on. As far as KZread channels, Arsenal are way over-represented and many people get sick of hearing about Arsenal.
The real story about “if big Pete’s happy, I’m happy” is from a documentary about the 2012 CL final. Cech was saying that in Moscow 2008 everything was red, the tickets, banners matchday programme etc and he didn’t like it. But in Munich, everything was blue. So Cech was happy. And that’s when JT said it gave everyone an air of confidence as in “if big Pete’s happy, I’m happy”

It’s like his misremembering of Pfeirrera and Essien playing so Mourinho could make a point. It’s like no we had injuries to all our CBs which is why they played,
I think Schurrle just couldn't get regular game time, was great in that German Win at the world cup assisting the winner
Let’s go great guest!
I remember all of these players except I have no memory of Tiago. Can’t remember who he is or him even playing for Chelsea. Looking at what he achieved in his career he seems to be another young player that Mourinho was crazy to let go along with the obvious Salah, De Bruyne, Lukaku (nor do I remember Papy but that isn’t surprising)
Rory knowledge is crazy at times pulling out Tiago scoring at Palace away where Drogba got his first Chelsea goal
I think where Rory has Willian and Pedro is super valid. As a fan now in my mid 20s, those two were excellent while they were here. Especially Willian in that 15/16 season. Was the only player to turn up each and every match
I used to meassure how good a player was by whether he would score against Cech from a longe range. I still remember Iniesta UCL goal against him from outside the box and saying damn! not even Cech could save that.
that ending sentence 🤣🥲
Ivanovic was signed by Avram Grant and didn't make his debut until Scolari came in. Cech was signed by Ranieri.

The Ramsdale point is good for Petr Cech, but also totally ignores the fact that keepers start with a much higher position now so they can sweep easier. It's not a matter of bad positioning from Ramsdale as such - though I don't argue Cech is much better at that in general - it's stylistic changes in football.

Rory is so right about Drogba changing the way football was played. Only needed the one striker. Allowed you to play an extra central midfielder to over run the 442 while still maintaining the 2 wingers feeding off the bigman

7.52 samism!!! Is that the horse to die on
That Liverpool game we played Essien and Ferreira at CB cause we had nobody else
Branislav Ivanovic wasn't signed under Mourinho. Mourinho left in Sep 2007, Chelsea signed Ivanovic in Jan 2008.
40:36, Obi Mikel would be in contention for Chelsea all time best 11?! Makelele and Kante are obviously ahead of him in that position, he has no chance of breaking that team.
"The answer is a resounding Ja" 😂😂😂
Ivanovic was not part of the early Mourinho teams and wasn't even signed by him. Certainly didn't play with Gallas either. It's easy to get foggy memory but Rory praised Paulo Ferreira (the actual RB) minutes before. A lot of people make the same mistake with Ashley Cole who didn't arrive until the season Jose was sacked.
“The answer is a resounding Ja’ 🤣🤣
How the hell are fabregas and costa being rated ahead of petr cech and michael essien. Im sorry but that's just mental.
Love the pod, however Cech wasn’t the most expensive GK of the time. Infact was about £40 million less then Buffon. However if you meant EPL fair enough
Follow up podcast with Rory ranking Chelsea football songs.
I think it's easy to compare Cesc and Van Persie and their legacy at Arsenal but they feel very different in my mind. Cesc went home to Barca first of all, he gave everything to Arsenal (I'll always remember him scoring a penatly for us in the champions league with a fully broken foot), captained us through a miserable period, and I feel more sad than anything that we didn't do more to keep him. He also never has a bad thing to say about Arsenal to this day. Wenger rescued Van Persie's career and stood by him while he was injured perpetually, he then had two hot seasons at Arsenal, then immediately left to United, then started showed up on TV badmouthing his old club. Very different legacies in my mind.
Cech was Raneri signing (though didn’t get to play for him) you’d think a Chelsea man would know/acknowledge it 😅
