I’m not driving a mini metro. I’ll just talk over you

 

[BadFish]

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.

Hey now, we cant just go giving Fab credit for stuff. Don't forget the mantra: wins are the players, losses are the manager.

When I saw BBC lineup had us with a back 5 I thought they'd got it wrong again - but no, spot on.

And it’s working so it’s a good thing.

Also have you got a mate called Tom Donaldson, and have you ever been to Thailand?

Aye was beautiful man, seen the golden temple

Can we just wait until the 99th minute please before such judgement. You know how we only play one half, don’t you?!

 

[Hendrax]

this ref is so bad. they should review and sack refs bassed on percentage of decisions. surely

 

[BadFish]

Probably get the customary Bart f*** up and go on to loose this 2 - 3. We could really do with a third.

Is it being so cheerful that keeps you going?

 

[hart's shirt]

It's so satisfying watching Cucurella floundering on the deck while the ball sails past him into the net.

Cucurella's rapidly developing an amusing reputation for making a huge effort to get to a ball that is ultimately futile and results in a goal.

The words of Geoffrey Green come to mind when he described Billy Wright failing to stop Puskas in England 3:6 loss to Hungary at Wembley in 1953.

"...rushed past him like a fire engine going to the wrong fire."

 

[maltaseagull]

Eh? Doesn't look that bad at all - east lower some empty seats by otherwise pretty full

Are you there? On tv loads of empty seats.

 

[Herr Ing Gull]

Not over yet. Need the next goal.

Yep long way to go and we've been here before.

Probably get the customary Bart f*** up and go on to loose this 2 - 3. We could really do with a third.

Well, that's our good 45 out of the way - can we now survive our bad half?

Some people didn't get a card today, then

Not giving the ball back after injury - ****ing cheats

 

[nsclurker]

Mitoma will rightly get the headlines, but Minteh did well to get round Cucurella and put his shot away.

Sideshow Bob had a PROPER tantrum after the goal went in. Stamping his little feet and hair flying everywhere.

f***ing brilliant.

Not giving the ball back after injury - ****ing cheats

[oldboyroy]

I know everyone hates Talksport but just in case you’re not listening to they really are unashamedly biased. It’s all about Chelsea losing, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s their in house radio station.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'd remind the boys after the game......from now on, we never put the ball in to touch for Chelsea.

 

[BadFish]

I wear Tommy Hillfinger.

You threw your monkey into the sea.
