Given that we are at Stamford Bridge and the ref is quite possibly going to be a homer I imagine there is more chance of Baleba picking up two yellows than Caiceido!
How many tickets have we got for this game?

Hmm… a difficult game ahead and last season’s stats do not make good reading. Pity about Pedro,I agree we shall probably see Ferdi the Turk in action. Who knows about Gruda ? Mystery man .
Anyway , at least it is Saturday at 3 o clock and a point will be a good result.

I can see me turning this one off early as we take a kicking. Man flu is not helping my negative outlook.

I’ll be there at Withers come rain or shine until the bitter end
So maybe we shouldn't play a high line. If Ferdi or Pervis have the pace to stop them, fine, but otherwise I'd rather we weren't giving away goals for free.

Surely it is not so much negativity more realism?
Preparing oneself for the worst just makes it even more exciting if it doesn't come to pass.

Looking forward. Chelsea really haven't been tested yet. Landing in Prague early afternoon, should be able to get checked in then find a pub showing it!
Beat Barrow 5-0 well done Chelsea pays back some of that billion
Beat West Ham and they're crap atm
Scored just once beating Bmuff, who conceded twice to Everton
Drew at home to *this* Palace (not the end of last seasons Palace), lol
Smashed a crap Wolves a long while ago
It's not the foregone conclusion some people think it is

FH has said we will play a low block depending on how the game is going and transition to a high line when attacking. Well at least that is how I read his comments in the Argus

Why oh why oh why?
In the eye-catching 6-2 against Wolves, Chelsea only had 1.68 xG. Wolves had 1.96.
They also 'underperformed' (but outscored) Bournemouth by a fairly significant margin.
They SMASHED Palace on xG, but got out-lucky-sodded...

Yup. Playing all their new signings straight away has worked out well for West Ham hasn’t it?
Thanks. The problem is when we lose the ball.FH has said we will play a low block depending on how the game is going and transition to a high line when attacking. Well at least that is how I read his comments in the Argus

Did you see the match stats in the OP? We lost to them 3 times last season, they’ve lost 2 in the last 20 (Arsenal and Manchester City)… our away record against them is horrific…
It would be a massive upset to get a point.

I’ve not spoken for a week and I’ve hired a Glyndebourne opera singer to give me a vocal warm up at 2pm just to make sure my boooooo is as good as it can possibly beI won’t be at Stamford Bridge so please give the 3 ex Albion players an afternoon of very loud boos from me, whilst winning would make it a special afternoon
Fingers crossed that those going enjoy themselves
