The Blues continue their 13-match league unbeaten run with a 1-1 draw at home against Stoke. Traore scored in the first half before conceding a late equalizer.

We could be as good as the 2014-15 champions or as bad as we have been this season the Gooners still can't score let alone beat the Blues. Before we got into that match we recap the 3-3 draw with Everton since we didn't record a podcast last week. When we get into today's mach we talk about Per Mertesacker's early red, Diego Costa's goal, Cesc Fabregas being named Man of the Match and more.

This episode was recorded a few hours after the 2-2 home draw to West Brom that was poorly officiated by Anthony Taylor. It was so awful, a fan was overheard on the mics yelling "You're Full of Shit Ref" just before the final whistle. We talk about that match, our poor run in the league as of late, what's wrong with Oscar running into defenders whenever he gets the ball and recap our 2-0 home win over Scunthorpe United in the FA Cup 3rd Round.

In the biggest Premier League match to date this season, Chelsea drew 1-1 with our closest pursuers from the blue side of Manchester. We maintained our 5-point lead without the league's top duo Febregas (hamstring) and Costa (3-match ban from Liverpool). All things considered it was a job well done by Remy and Zouma. Later, we talk Frank Lampard, the end of the transfer window that saw Bertrand (Southampton) and Schurrle (Wolfsburg) depart while we welcome Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina. In CIA News reveal the date of the Summer Conclave in Las Vegas and talk about a Jose Mourinho book you shouldn't spend your money on. Find us @cia_podcast on Twitter and facebook.com/ciapodcast.
