GET THE FUCK IN!

Refuse to let myself laugh until the final whistle. Palace may still find a way to lose this.

I've watched him plenty. Just an above average player.Perfect for a Liverpool/Tottenham/Everton level club that can't afford a top class midfielder.

He's not better than Ramires as an all around player. He's a much better passer but that's about it. Would be a great squad player but nothing more. We need an upgrade in CM and not another role player.

I think you misunderstood my post or maybe I just didn't make myself clear. Oscar definitely deserves the treatment he's getting this season with all of the substitutions and starting on the bench. What I meant was that NEXT SEASON he's too good of a player to just be a Mikel type who's a rarely used squad player. He's not quite good enough to be an every game starter for us but he's too good to simply not play.

Don't know if we'll be actively trying to sell him but I don't think we'd say no if a big offer came in. The ideal scenario would be that Oscar stays as a squad player who still gets his fair share of starts and we add another world class midfielder. I'm not sure Oscar would stand for that, though. To be fair to him he IS too good of a player to get the Mata treatment and ride the bench every game.

He lost the ball so much that he then went into a shell and just passed it backwards a bunch and made the safe, short pass. You could tell that he wanted to stop embarrassing himself. He's overthinking everything right now.

Posters on Arsenal Mania saying "I can't believe we're letting a mediocre team like Chelsea win the title." Also, "I hope Cesc and Matić don't pick up yellows so they can play against us. We'll beat them regardless."

Hazard once again proving he's the best player in the PL. Absolutely unplayable today. How good is Willian? He's got ridiculous energy and work ethic. Never stops, never slows down. He's a machine and almost undroppable now. So important to our team. On the other hand, how TERRIBLE does Cuadrado look every time he plays for us? He literally looks like me if I went out there in a Chelsea shirt. He looks lost, terrified, and so unaware of everything around him. Like he's in over his head. Very concerned about that signing now. Not ready to give up on him, but fuck me! Matić played much better as did Cesc. Ivanovic and Cahill were quiet which is a good thing. Remy' movement and energy were great. Oscar's first touch was a tackle and was rightly subbed at half time. His days are numbered here I think. José has completely lost faith in him. Diego looks like he may be done for the season. I think Remy can step up adequately.

This is why we can't relax or even truly enjoy any match from now til the end of the season. We always make such hard work of it. We always concede goals out of nothing.

All stemming from a foul ignored on Hazard.

Wow. Sitter.

Well, I was wrong about Oscar. Been horrific again.

So which lucky Stoke ogre will score a flukey goal today? My money is on either Charlie Adam or Jon Walters.

Probably mostly Gooner fans who think their side is full of world class players.

We know exactly why. The same reason José said he hasn't played Loftus-Cheek at all this season. He doesn't think he can trust a young, inexperienced kid down the stretch of a title run-in.

You've jinxed it now mate. They'll both get yellows.

Don't mind Oscar starting like many here do. It's Ivanovic and Cahill that bother me.

Once again would've started Luis, but good lineup. Come on, Remy!

I hate late kickoffs. Always seems like when we're the last match of the day our rivals batter shit teams and I have to sit around bored all morning. Also ruins the rest of then day if we lose after hours of anticipation.

I'm concerned because you can legitimately see them winning all of their remaining matches other than against us. They'll blow away every small team like they always do and they have now figured out how to play in the big games as well.We almost limp through most matches now even against opponents we should be hammering. We've basically been the opposite of Arsenal this season. Sensational first half and lagging a bit in since the new year. They have been the best side in the league recently. Do I think they'll catch/pass us? No, but the title certainly isn't in the bag and we can't really afford to drop ANY points against the likes of Stoke at home when we still have Arsenal, United, and Liverpool to play.

Yep, just as I predicted earlier. Massacre. Arse are definitely starting to concern me.

I'm foolishly hoping that Liverpool will win here but I can see a battering.

Any injuries for the Stokies?
