Chelsea v Leeds United Match Thread

[Madron]

I'd like West Ham to stay up for Summerville, unless we could get him back.

Frankie boy the next manager to be avoiding his smartphone or does the Champions League save him for now?

[weasel]

Watching West Ham defend a goal lead. Are they sitting back and playing deep? No they are not. Take note Leeds coaching team

Didn't work though did it. Did we sit back when 1-0 v Forest, or at 1-0 v Palace?

"Rosenior angry about Leeds’ equaliser

Six minutes, six minutes of switching off. We were in complete control of the game. I don’t want to talk about the football we played if we want to get to where we want to be we have to make sure we’re switched on for 90 minutes, simple as that.

It’s devastating. Some of the football we played was excellent and we should have come away with three points but we haven’t and we gift Leeds a point.

Even at 2-1 we have to take the sting out of the game. Whether we think it was handball or not, we’re still in control of the game. You kick the ball away and then ask for handball. [But we switched off]. At the time I thought it was handball but I haven’t seen it back. If there’s any contact it should have been disallowed but I haven’t seen it back to make that judgment.

[They said it was non-deliberate]. The rule is the rule. From my understanding of there’s any hand ball in the lead up to the goal then it has to be disallowed. If they’ve said that, then someone please explain the rules to me. You saying that has got me angrier because that’s unacceptable "

Please can we play a strong team on Sunday, keep the cup dream alive.

Well that's a pretty satisfactory evening and West Ham and their fans will be deflated. First they see us looking like we will lose then they look like they would still close the gap but don't.

Hopefully will have a negative effect on them

I still think that Spurs are far more likely to go down than West Ham.

Spurs have a horrible run of fixtures upcoming.

Spurs go down, we get Archie back on the cheap

[Victor_OTT_17]

I want them to go down for scamming the tax payer with their stadium and cheating with Tevez years ago

I want them to go down so we don't!!! Wolves and Burnley are already gone...

f**k Jimmy

It's where we're different. I have respect for former players that gave a lot for this club

Just can't imagine them going down. When was the last time they were relegated?

[Sean_Nile]

The mods are aware of one of the trolls that has been targeting me.

But Mill considered that if you are offended by someone it can't be classified as harm, and an appeal to the Mods is just the same as appealing to the government to jail someone for a tweet.

Let a hundred flowers bloom.

That's a plan...

I’d say it’s all but impossible for spurs to go down - they’ll get players back and kick on

What about 0-0 v Fulham away. Or 2-1 v Bournemouth? Don’t we have the worst record in the league for conceding late goals?
A better striker than Wilson and West Ham could have been 3 up before a freak equalising goal. Leeds don’t look good sitting back in defence, was my point. Ask Cole Palmer. Our game is front foot best.

I could have bided my time until the final whistle before I posted that - or not, as the case would be - 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Anyway, if you look back a couple of pages you’ll see how I responded to my own post.

Yeah - I think they will be well in the rear view mirror come the end of the season.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Any team can go down! Including Brighton/Spurs etc. We were 'too good to go down' in 2004 remember and see how that panned out? We have not recovered since...

Like vic says , Wham going down means we don't.
Thats all i care about, not EX players.

The Staying Up and FA Cup double is still on
