Ha ha I forgot it was Morata. Well if he's not injured Saturday morning he will be by Saturday afternoon .
That's the way to do it - if you're going to head-butt someone, then make sure their nose gets bent.....
Does anyone else reckon that our deer London Hornets are now one of the toughest outfits in the league? Always score in the last minute. Troy the only football personality honest enough to unmask Wenger’s lilylivers. And a psychotic pairing at the back who will always keep the St Johns Ambulance interested. An attitude worthy 5 places in the league.
The 90 minutes are up. There are 3 or 4 minutes of time added on. Your team is level or only winning by one goal against Watford. What are your tactics?
This is still a free hit IMO, recent results or not. Points v any of the top 4 sides away in this league are still bonus points and we as fans should not get too carried away. That's why I'll enjoy this game and not get too stressed if we lose. But... they will be more tired than us, they will be on a low after palace, and we will be on a high after Arsenal. Confidence is a massive part of football. We seem to have it in abundence right now. Although the head says on paper they should beat us, the heart most definitely says this is a winable game. I'd punt on a solid 1-1.
We’ll criticize his team selection, bemoan the tactics for the entire first half and plead with Silva to change things. Uneventful half only briefly comes to life when Holebas chops down Fabregas and the Spaniard gets very upset. Losing 1-0 after 60 minutes following a set-piece goal, Silva will give the fans what they want and make a change. We score shortly afterwards to tie things up, before Richarlison scores in the 95th minute. Holebas is sent off after receiving a second yellow for removing his shirt and racing around Stamford Bridge waving it madly.
All the attention's on Ricarlison but I fancy Carillo to start producing very soon. He's been desperately unlucky so far, takes up great positions although he is a little too prone to a worldy shot when much better options are on (but Silva will soon sort that out). Deceptively quick, IMO faster reactions than RDA with better control (albeit less two footed). My only disappointment is Gray, he's a bit limited but he still gets about, he makes defenders chase which is no bad thing and no doubt one day he'll score a hattrick ... but it won't be this weekend against top opposition.
It's a massive bonus that they are playing tonight so if there is a player backlash after losing to palace it will be tonight.
It won’t be a City but it won’t be an Arsenal, they’ll win but I’d say 3-1 will be the worst score line we’ll likely be on the end of. Yes we’re on a high, but I think the palace result is irrelevant, if anything it’s bad for us. They’re the champions remember, they’re very capable of overcoming a dissapointing result.
I think our midfield is the weak link in terms of thuggery. We have some hard men at the back - mainly britos and holebas, and you wouldnt mess with prodl either (though hardcase points are lost for the effeminate hair-do). Kaboul is a grock but doesnt strike me as particularly tough. Kabesele and femenia are soft and easily bullied. Janmaat no better. I dont fear gomes either. Up top with have the brutish deeney, the prison tatted gray and the tank that is okaka. Not bad at all. But midfield? Now we've lost behrami there's not much there to make me quake. Chalobah, cleverley and pereyra could be comfortably be battered by most. Doucoure is athletic but is no hard man. Carillo may have been brought up on the mean streets of lima but look at him, I could effortlessly weave him into the scenery. Overall I'd rate us as tougher than most, but are a midfield psychopath or 2 short of being the toughest.
In the last month or so top 4 has dropped from 400/1 to 80/1 ish. City, Utd and Spurs are better than us. If we beat Chelski 4th place is ours.
"know" in the biblical sense? I bet you do you saucy little mare. And anyway, being effeminate is not the same as being gay. YOU are the homophobe to make that assumption.
Even when we won at Stamford Bridge and I was 3 sheets to the wind, I never ran around waving "it" madly - it was usually too cold.....
I'll be walking in from 'Ammersmith and looking out for convenient, early-opening boozers en-route. And if we get something from this match they can expect some custom from me afterwards too ...
Sorry only just saw this - it is called The Blackbird on Earls Court Road. Fullers pub. Has bouncers on the door but they were reasonably friendly as bouncers go and were ok with Watford fans going in there (well, they were last time I tried which was the FA Cup tie - didn't try before the last 2 league games ).
According to their forum they will be missing Bakayoko, Luiz, Kante or Drinkwater. No midfield. Link for the lazy: http://www.theshedend.com/topic/30985-chelsea-vs-watford-pl-sat-21-oct-2017-ko-1230-gmt/
We score 2 in every away game , it's a new rule enscribed in the EPL constitution. So the question is can Chelsea score 2 to earn themselves a plucky draw ?
