[Albion] The Chelsea wins.....and reactions to them.

[DavidinSouthampton]

Oh, and I did WORDLE in two.

What a time to be alive

So did I!
But FH clearly out of his depth. Ha ha ha

 

[wellquickwoody]

We beat Chelsea in the cup for the first time ever.
After a massive clunk last week.
And we outplayed them
We were better.
Good?

Yeah, adequate I guess

I try not to go overboard about one off results like last week. More concerning was the managers naieveTy, our recent poor form overall, the one off result was neither here nor there. And so my reaction this one game is more muted than yourself. Great to get back to winning ways, showed a lot of character after Bart’s howler, let’s see if we can build on it going into the latter part of the season. So…….brilliant, no………but good work all round.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It is rare I watch an Albion home game on the telly.
That has to be the best.
I predicted a 1-4 defeat, hoping it would be only 4.

What do I know about football?
Same as many of you lot.
f*** all.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Tonight was brilliant

Within a sentence on ITV he has said Trust the process though.

In fairness, the rest of his interview has been very good

Hats off for not typing 'mooted'.

I agree that tomorrow will be another day.
Over the season, I expect 11th and would be delighted with better.
But I would rather be us than Palace.

And today, I am sipping from the chalice of 'we just knocked Chelsea out of the FA cup'
Nectar.

 

[Reddleman]

The things I was most impressed with tonight was his substitutions, meant we really controlled what could have been a nervous second half.

 

[JBizzle]

Fab lost the dressing room? None of our new signings good enough?

Where are the trolls/bedwetters now?

Rutter absolutely fantastic.
Minteh born to run.
Two children (Baleba and Hinshelwood) bossed the midfield - think how good the future looks.
Gomez looks like an absolute beast.
Lamptey brilliant.

Performance from the whole team great. Clearly all together. Chelsea has great players and we restricted them to f*** all.

I'm not saying Fab is our lord and saviour, still lots to prove, but people calling for his head mid season with all the injuries we've had are a disgrace.

Give it until the end of the season, then we can assess.

I was going to say exactly this. Does this look like a team not playing for their gaffer? No.

We're these players all shite? No.

To bounce back after a shit result and a shit start to win tonight shows serious stones.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

In Diiiixons

Cashback

 

[Triggaaar]

Unlike some clubs we know it's not always wise to sack a manager after one shocking result

Speak for yourself (and me). And, thankfully, Bloom. Quite a lot of NSC would have fired him.

Are we talking 98" 4K Ultra HD here?

 

[Bodian]

Brilliant?

Good seems a more accurate analogy to me.

It wasn't brilliant but we were the better team and we deserved to win. Can't remember another major chance for either side. Last week was an anomaly.

It's brilliant to beat f**king Chelsea - whatever the situation we're in. But to beat them after last week. As Harry says - that was utterly brilliant.

 

[darkwolf666]

I loved the fact that the manager had the same cool demeanour throughout.

I have no idea what the process is, but those boys were calm, focused, confident, occasionally brilliantly creative, on it, cool headed.

Brilliant.

But, but… we have no tactics, no plan, no ideas, no cohesion…. apparently!

What did Bob think?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Are we talking 98" 4K Ultra HD here?

Not down the road, no.
I could have watched it on my Time Lord TV at home,
But I like good company when watching football.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Tonight was brilliant

Within a sentence on ITV he has said Trust the process though.

In fairness, the rest of his interview has been very good

He can say 'trust the process' as many times as he likes - his team has just beaten Chelsea and responded in the perfect way to last week.

Maybe trusting the process actually works?

 

[Napper]

Palace in the last 16 . It’s coming

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What did Bob think?

He said it was the best we have played when he has watched us on the tellybox.
Chelsea were made to look ordinary.

Then he started on about his lot beating Plymouth tomorrow, and I stopped listening

 

[Balders]

FH said that he owed it to the fans earlier in the week to get a result - judging by the motives of plenty of "fans" on here in the last week, a win was something they didn't really see or want - just shows how out of touch FH is from our fanbase orchestrating a win tonight

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Plenty of positives tonight, Lamptey best performance of the season and huge character after last week, Rutter great header and worked tirelessly as did Welbeck. Mitoma back on the scoresheet, Baleba and Hinsh looked controlled in the middle. Gomez had a stunning cameo looks an absolute midfield unit and most importantly we have knocked sideshow bob and the rest of that horrible club out of the FA Cup!
