Was looking forward to this (VAR-free) game as well. #DickHeadOut

I will be asleep for this one, but expect to wake up and find that we have drawn Exeter in the next round.

 

[jcdenton08]

That’s it, you’re sacked!

But anyway, three points this afternoon lads, no excuses.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

These seem familiar

 

[oldboyroy]

Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea put out full strength (or as near as damn it) side as they need a win,any win! Depends what Roberto does.

 

[JetsetJimbo]

The result I'm dreaming of is that we win 3-1 or 4-1, but their goal is an own goal - it'd be their goal of the month by default, as they haven't scored since the 30th of August and, after today, don't play again until the 2nd of October.

After everything, it'd just be too funny if a Brighton player scored Chelsea's goal of the month.

…..Super league hasn’t started either, so they can’t even nominate any from the women’s team

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's got nil-all written all over it

 

[Beach Hut]

So excited

That might work if they had a clue what their best side is.

It'll go to a penalty shoot out, and Sanchez will save every penalty he faces.

Roberto said he'll put out his strongest team possible...but taking account of tiredness and the Villa game. Will be interesting
