No idea why we took off our best players. Stupid. Hope we don't pay.

Arsenal fans on Twitter blaming fucking grass on the pitch for us leading.

We could have (without loans) played our strongest youth XI - Blackman; Kane, Chalobah, Kalas, Nditi; Saville, McEachran, Baker/Boga; Piazon, Lukaku/Bamford/Feruz, Lalkovic/Kiwomya. Fact is, it's our 2nd-string team beating Arsenal's 1st.

Imagine Chalobah - Baker - Loftus-Cheek starting in a midfield 3 against their own age group. Domination. It would honestly be so much like the Essien/Lampard/Ballack combination.

"Never Say Die" and "Chelsea" are now synonymous at all levels.

You know how Terry has always been known as a Born Leader? Yeah, same could be applied to Baker. I'd love to play wit him you know, even if just a kickabout. He oozes confidence yet at the same time has quite a laid-back style.

YES MAN YESSSSS

Must be said - despite the 'keepers mistake, it was good work from Baker to even get that on target and think about taking the shot. I know it's an odd comparison because of how much he has indeed achieved, but I watched youth clips of Lampard a few years ago from when he was like, 16/17 or something, and the similarities are uncanny.

This is far from over. Nail biting shit this is.

I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS GUY. WHAT A CAMPAIGN FOR HIM.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EHOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Our defence looks like Arsenal's first team at the moment.

I'm not actually sure how Pappoe is still with us. Seems a decent guy but he's not a decent player. Neither is our keeper. Or left back.

Something about their manager I just despise. Not sure what it is really.

This ref is clueless. Too many cards.

Technically since the goal was a rebound from a penno it came from open play, right? So IF we win, no "you only won because you scored a penalty" nonsense I hope.

So instinctive!!

FERUZ LOOKING LIKE MESSI! MWAHAHAHA

FERUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate penalties. Scared.

Ugh. Just like our senior team. Great position to pile on pressure, but no - pass it back to the defence and let the opposition regain their shape.

What a counter-attack that was!

WOOO!!! Good for him! I never thought of him as a particularly good finisher, because, well, he's not. But what he does have is that special instinct which only certain strikers get. That 'be in the right place at the right time' ability. I love it. He's going places - hopefully. (That's just a general comment. Of course I haven't even seen the goal!)

Question - Why is Blackbeard portrayed to have been some sort of old man? Didn't he only live into his late 30's? Did everyone look old back then?
