[maffew]

I wonder what the real attendance is tonight. 20,000?

21200 booing cucurella then.. booooo

Oh minus a couple of chelsea

 

[Kit Napper]

Now we need 5 goals in the second half to restore our goal difference

 

[oldboyroy]

70+% possession for Chelsea but 2 nil down. Reminds me a bit like us in previous seasons

 

[Alex BH]

Unconvincing performance, but we lead 2-0 so you’ve got to be happy with that. I’m just not very confident we’ll hold onto the lead give our record when ahead this season.

Rover Vitesse Fastback is where it's at.

[BrickTamland]

Mitoma

 

[Krafty]

That is the best first half I have seen all season.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Tactically excellent first half, Minteh dropping into right back has really worked. Well done to Fab and his team for working on our previous weakness behind the fullbacks.

They've rebadged it you fool.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Fuckin hell Karou, that is the goal of the season!!!! Unbelievable!!

 

[Driver8]

Mitoma’s first touch. f***ing hell.

 

[Simster]

IF we hold onto this lead (and we have got form for not doing that obviously), I wonder if that prick who manages Chelsea will have anything nice to say about a manager who will have completely done him twice in a week?

 

[Gazwag]

Well that's goal of the season sorted, worth coming just for that moment

Unconvincing? Think its all gone to plan - let Chelsea have the ball, know theyve struggled to create much lately, hit them on the counter.
Love how FH adapts his style of play - refreshing after managers who have been quite stubborn in their approach

Rover Vitesse Fastback is where it's at.

Also, “With a mere ninety break-horse-power available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast, but on the motorway in fifth gear the Vitesse’s slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair.” Not my words, @ManOfSussex . The words of Top Gear magazine.

Hello?

The good thing about the automatic transmission on these things is you don't have to do those tricky hill starts. Just hit the gas, away we go.

 

[Driver8]

The angle of the Nike tick on Chelsea’s shirt annoys me. What’s that all about?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Maybe we should put cardboard cutouts in the crowd to paper over the empty seats

We're winning 2-0 by the way.

I only started watching from 20 mins, but it's been one of the best performances I've seen from us for a while. Defensively solid, Chelsea have had most of the ball but we are hardly letting them have any chances. Then making the most of the chances we've created. Reminds me a bit of Forest.
