We are playing Chelsea on Sunday at 14:00. Chelsea have a few players out injured including the highly influential Danny Drinkwater who has arguably been their player of the season. We have Troy back after his suspension for stupidly elbowing a midget he has had previous with.
After Wolves draw with Fulham on Saturday a win here will see us firmly back as favourites to finish 7th. COYH!!!
A point will only make a difference wrt Wet Spam if they draw at home to Southampton, if they lose they can't catch us anyway, if they win, they're within striking distance of us on the final day
Was going to go but the west coast mainline is shut for engineering works. Don't fancy a rail replacement from Leighton Buzzard to Watford then 2 trains. Hard to call as it's 2 teams who can underperform with the best of them.
My first match for a while. Think it will be the first match I leave early for a while too. 4-0 them.
Chelsea absolutely won't be on the beach ! A couple of games to secure Champ League place - or was that a whoosh ?
Sadly I work every single day so another shoutbox moanfest from me this week. I get to every game I can though. 6-0 Chelsea. Hughes, Deeney, Gray to be **** as usual as I've said all season.
I need to read a profile. Where is Chelsea? Does it have any architecture? Is their team any good? Do they have an owner who compares favourably with Gino or Bas?
Just need Hazard to get injured in their game tonight and we win. Not saying a long term injury, just something that keeps him out for our game only. A really bad dead leg will do, even if it’s from a fan doing this;
Must win game if we want to keep any thoughts of 7th place alive. Chelsea are missing several players at the back and I think we WILL take advantage. 5-1 Chelsea.
Just took a look at the away supporters guide and found the page numbering and colours to be unfortunate... (or the bloke has the weirdest tattoo ever).
We've blown Europe anyway so I expect we'll win 2-0 just to make it that much worse as to what could have been. Would give Gomes the last few games to get ready for Man City and rest Foster for next season now.
Rest one of either Doucoure or Capoue - replacing them with Chalobah. He should be up for a go against his old club. Assuming he's not utter rubbish and his leg doesn't explode, repat against Spam with whomever we don't rest at the weekend. I'd also consider starting Success or Penaranda - giving Pereyra seme minutes off. Chelski are thin at the back. Run fresh bodies at them all day. Press them high.
Meaningless fixture and the least important game of the season so far. Play that David O'Cassidy lad and a few other youth team. Get Prodl to do a bit of running about for his wages. Give Britos a start for what will undoubtedly be one of his final games for us. Let's have a look at Dhalberg.
We should of won this fixture last season. We get a point here under QSF and every other visit bar the Alan Smart goal in 2000 we've been tonked. I agree with everyone else. Rest key players or change it up along side Wet Spam. 4 points from are last two would be a nice confidence boost going into the final. Realalistically, a loss is more likely. 0-2.
It's finishing 11th that bothers me. I would accept top half and a cup final but dropping below West Ham would rile me. Also more money each place higher we finish
They sacrificed European competition to save their best player for the big one. They don't play a top ten team every week
The decision to keep him here as 3rd choice keeper was as flawed as sending Wilmott to sit on the bench at Udine.
