Brentford, Chelsea and Fulham all playing at home at the same time? Not sure I fancy the tube on the way back.

Chelsea and Fulham share a postcode and are one tube stop apart. Surely that can't be right?

Chelsea on Wednesday @Maupays fragrant shart @P.I.Staker ?

I think we will see a second team on Wednesday, can see RDZ resting lot of players for this match

What does that even mean anymore? We have been making 8/9 changes a game last 2 games. The real second team is the under 21s, hopefully there's not more than one in the starting line up

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I’m praying that we win 5 - 1, with their goal being an own goal from us.

Chelsea would then have to give our player their goal of the month award, having not scored any themselves in September.

Oh, please let that happen. Can you imagine absolute scenes?
Which player though?

 

[Giraffe]

I know it's Chelsea and a chance to win something but I'm not too worried about this. I'm guessing it will be quite a weak team so that we are as ready as possible for the Villa game which is infinitely more important.

Exactly. We've had 22 different starters already this season. That said, we may see starter 23 on Wednesday, most likely Baleba.

Really imaginative Sky Sports picks by the way.

Ten of our first team squad are under 21.

Perhaps you meant the under 18s?

The under 14s aren't bad.

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Gilmour or Lampty, after they've scored 3 for us.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Given that Chelsea aren't in Europe and their league form is dreadful a domestic trophy is their only hope for some joy this season. Which makes it really important we batter them.

We can compare and contrast Baleba and Caceido. I alresdy know which one will have the best game.

Chelsea fans agreeably pessimistic - and (whisper it quietly) almost showing a bit of respect*.....................
