The BBC website is extremely slow and it takes a couple of minutes before 1-0 overruled by var gets changed back to 0-0.

Work is mental for me this time of year so couldn't see the game which I was extremely pissed off about but nothing I could do. So I have to follow the match by my phone fuck those alert apps to much jeopardy involved 50-50 chance the opposition have scored. So I checked the score on the BBC website every ten minutes or so but here's the rub, because of VAR you have to control your emotions for a few minutes because there's no guarantee the goal hasn't been disallowed and the next time you check the score is 0-0. It's going to happen to someone and I hope it's not Chelsea fans it happens to (sods law it will be) you score a 89th minute goal you celebrate like a lunatic unknown to you the goal is disallowed the opposition score an injury time goal so the next time you check your phone you've lost 1-0

Anyone noticed that although the racist incidents at the Etihad have been reported by the press there's not the sense of outrage there was this time last year when the racist incident happened at the Bridge which by the way were never proved.

Lampard is just another AVB there I've said it. People are watching from blue tinted glasses if Lampard wasn't a Chelsea legend he'd be getting all manner of shit thrown at him. I don't want to hear the word transition it's just a convenient buzzword bandied about when things are going badly. We've lost three out of four of our last matches two against teams in terrible form a scrapped win against Villa and we were lucky to draw against Valencia. Things may improve but I have my doubts great English players historically never make good managers and Lampard seems destined to join that list. I've seen enough bad managers in my time watching Chelsea and I'm not saying Lampard is up there with the worst of them but he'll never be a top manager I'm convinced of that. Some may think I'm being harsh and maybe I am but if anyone thinks we are making top four watch today and the West Ham game again. And finally Kepa is fucking useless get rid of the paralysed streak of piss.

Lamps should call a team meeting and say right because of this decision none of you are safe from being replaced that will keep them on their toes.

And of course the mention of The Coleherne in hanging around.

I do remember the Earls Court thing lot of gay boozers round there in the 70's but I've never heard Chelsea fans being called rent boys till recently.

Totally agree FB and I'm not sure calling someone a rent boy is homophobic it is after all a male prostitute. What I can't fathom out is the genesis of it we certainly weren't called rent boys until recently. If they're talking about pedo rings they were everywhere in the 70's and 80's and if there was one in Chelsea well someone should tell them we play at Fulham Broadway.

Lamps has I suppose got a free pass this season but performances like yesterday are not acceptable especially against those pikey pricks. It's been a bad week with some questionable starting 11 choices as well it's obvious Giroud is going in January he should never have started yesterday equally Christensen on Wednesday.

Worse keeper since Beasant I've got zero confidence in him a 70 million dud.

Must admit I didn't know that it's a weird rule.

Definitely and don't forget Crespo would have been ineligible to play.

Everything was different pre Roman not just for Chelsea if we hadn't beaten Liverpool in 2003 we would have had to sell our best players which were JT and Lamps who were young and Eidur. Apart from that the squad didn't have great depth but then most teams hadn't. I posted a thread about us playing Spurs in 2003 in the gold section you should see the difference in the quality of the two teams it's staggering.

I'd rather not you've posted about ten times recently but just to clarify what are the comparisons ? and what the fuck is mantality ?

Are you saying the Spurs squad today is better than our 2004-5 squad? if you are you are your taking the piss mate.

Yids back to mid table mediocrity where they belong and the bonus of having a white elephant of a new stadium. Just far too ambitious for a club that's won a single trophy in 20 years and it smacks of desperation if they hire the special needs one.

Not sure you've got the experience .

If there was a fine for being late for the ball Alonso would be skint !

Newsflash: The Metropolitan Police have called off the search for Wilfred Zaha he's been in Reece James's pocket all day

That was the last rites for him as a Chelsea player last night if Emerson is out it's going to be Dave and Reece as full backs. I don't want to be to hard on the geezer but he's a liability and is one bad performance away from becoming a boo boy. Decent wing back awful left back.

He has no presence he's always rooted to his line and I haven't seen a worse fuck up in goal since Dave Beasant.

I'm to drunk and frankly to mentally exhausted to post much there were some bad performances tonight but Kepa is fucking hopeless thank you and good night.

Left the pub before the Son incident so can't comment on that but Spurs are fucked the spark has gone and they will go back to where they belong mid table no marks. Such a dreadful game although to be honest I only had half an eye on it.

The Guardian has been called the Grauniad for years because of its inability to spell but there's no excuse for this. They say they beat us 4-1 last season when in fact it was two seasons ago but then further down they actually get it right and it says last season 1-2. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/nov/01/watford-chelsea-match-preview-premier-league
