Tomo 21,751 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Im really happy. Im from the West and been waiting all my life for Chelsea to play one of the Devon or Bristol sides, would have preferred Exeter or Plymouth but beggars can't be choosers.

The game at Eastville was a bit lively to say the least we lost 3-0 and there was loads of trouble with many Chelsea fans getting banned for life. Were you there? Looks amazing atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Watford away game on the video. Chelsea's away support in those days was the best in the country if you compare it to our home gates. We would get home crowds on average 18-20,000 and we had at least 6,000 at that Bristol Rovers game so we would take about a third of our home crowd to away games sometimes more.

Jype 6,398 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Damn, followed the draw live and was almost relieved when I saw the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool all get drawn elsewhere but then we get the only remaining "tough" draw and away nonetheless. Remains to be seen how much effort Leicester will be putting to the League Cup though. They have so many fixtures coming up this season and with the CL group stages and PL games surely taking priority over the EFL Cup we may see a severely weakened Leicester side here.

They go to Anfield on 10th of September, then four days later they play their first CL group stage match, then it's Burnley at home on 17th of September, Chelsea at home in the mid-week and then they go to Old Trafford on 24th of September. CL group stage match again a few days later. So pretty much a busy schedule for them in the span of two weeks and a half. Liverpool and United away, Chelsea at home, plus two CL matches. And Burnley at home as well. Think they will most definitely use a mixed team for this one. Jype and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres not a position I would think about him as 1st or 2nd selection. Both us and Leicester are in different places this season. Both on and off the pitch. And thats what makes supporting Chelsea such a roller coaster ride. Right now we are on that relatively smooth ride up at the start and we have to make the most out of every chance we get. But after watching Liverpool dismantle them yesterday I'm not worried about Leicester too much. It shows just what a big part that N'Golo had in their season last year. I think hes going to get a bad reception and I hope it puts some fire in his feet to show them just what they are missing. I still cant get over just how good a deal we got on him. I would love to see Chalobah working with him until we can put him alongside a Nainggolan or Verratti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
