Closed Chelsea 1-1 Burnley

[nadavTKL 1,787]

We are a team who dont know how to win titles, Matic showed it very good today and imo could fucked our season with his red card. I hate this league, hate football.

[Beepu 1,714]

Gotta admit that I was skeptical that a campaign against Chelsea really exists, but after this match I am less so.

[Vytis33 1,043]

Is this real life? Still stunned to be honest.

Matic arguably the coolest player on our team goes after another player. A shit challenge for sure, but you just can't do that...made the decision very easy for a ref that already appeared to be working with an agenda today. Cesc and Diego were both very poor. Thought Filipe Luis and Eden were class today though.

Piers Morgan @piersmorgan

Chelsea get cheated,

[Miguelito 459]

Don't forget they should have been down to 10 men as well.

They shouldn't have had the advantage they had in terms of players on the field

[MichaelDance 552]

Literally the only thing that couldve gone worse is if we lost.

What should have been an easy 3 points turned into a disaster. Now the one player we absolutely couldnt afford to lose is gone for 3 matches.

Terrible, terrible day. We could be in trouble now.

Nah we won't be in trouble but we will struggle defencely for 3 games.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Can I just say Filipe Luis was brilliant today?

Hats off, lad.

[Blue Armour 4,165]

Nobody can convince me this was just an incompetent ref and not a bent one.

I swear the clown received instructions through his headset to wave off the first penalty appeal.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

These are the games that can be so so costly.Be nice if Newcasle can get something from their game seeing as the gap getting smaller again!

Need to step up our performances.Had 70 minutes with 11 men Do tend to play shit against lower down teams.

Though the FA do need to look at the incident.He shouldnt have pushed him but still it could've been worse.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Cancel the PC.

[Henrique 9,133]

We were robbed, but as soon as the team was down to 10 men the team suffered a huge pressure from the worst team in the league.

You cant accept that kind of thing.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Mourinho needs to go in dry on this one. FUCK EM UP BOSS

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

easy guys, we still have 5 points gap even if City win. Mikel or Ramires will fill in Matic place. Sometimes someday this shit will happen, this is the day. Burnley hold City at Etihad, so fair play to them. Time to move on.

[Rapkun 668]

Waiting for the FA to ban Barnes for 3 games...

Oh wait......

[Starman60 1,343]

Mr Atkinson, you're a f#@king cheat. Lets see what the FA make of this. Mourinho will probably be deported if he says what he really thinks of this debacle

Piers Morgan @piersmorgan

Chelsea get cheated,

Yeah well, Piers Morgan is an idiot! And I don't think even calling him that is harsh enough! Corrupt politician!

[Open 45]

We should probably have had two penalties in the first half, and Barnes should have had at least a yellow from the first half going studs up into the back of Ivanvovic's knee and kneeing Zouma in the side during that aerial challenge. How he still doesn't have a card after the tackle on Matic is incredible. Matic's reaction is understandable, and had there been any sort of competence from Atkinson at any point in this game, the entire situation could have been avoided.

[Barbara 15,149]

Robbed by the ref but at the end of the day, this was a very poor performance. The level of the performances have been very unimpressive for a long while now.

Matic really cost the team today, should've kept his cool.

should have kept his cool?

He's lucky to have kept his leg intact.... there's no cool there to be lost or kept. Seriously, the reaction wasn't proportional to what Barnes did to him... he should have broken his nose instead... or at least tried as Barnes did to his leg.
