Match Thread Chelsea v Everton - Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Timbucktoo]

After we got our first points deduction we needed a few things to go our way. Forest getting 4 points deducted was going to help, and this weekend, not for the first time we got favorable results from teams around us. All we had to do last night is keep it tight, and keep our goal difference advantage as our trump card if things got really tight on points. Could we do that, of course not this is Everton.

Under normal circumstances, like a team with a hint of talent, the result could be a spring board, to roll up your sleeves and go on a run. However, with this team of 'No Shows' I'm far from sure !!!

@Daveysgingerlovechild, are you up for doing the Forest match thread mate?

I'll be hunted down and beaten.

 

[Sadken]

To think we’re not in the bottom 3 with that record

Not yet .

 

[Nymzee]

Hindsight is amazing tho. Park the bus and get beat and everyone says, we should never of done that.

No one would say that.

 

[Jeff Jones]

It's ok James, getting pummelled by sheff wednesday next season 10-0 will put it in perspective.

You can't be relegated two divisions at once.

 

[blue in oxford]

Shamables when will we note that the game is a fast one and geriatrics can’t keep up

This is so much worse, that was at least just the first game of the season. We are 6 games from curtains right here, back then relegation was uncertain and there were 37 games remaining

Hate to be pedantic but I think you're thinking of the 6-1 home defeat when Fabregas took the p**s which was the first match of the season.

The 7-0 was the last game of the 04-05 season when we'd already guaranteed 4th place.

I say pedantic because your basic point is totally correct. This is much worse. we were supposed to be fighting for our lives last night. Against a very erratic Chelsea team.
Back then we had nothing to play for against a boss Arsenal team who had gone unbeaten the previous season.

And if memory serves, I think they'd actually beaten the rs in the previous game to seal 4th spot for us so we sort of owed them.

You are right! And a pedant! But as a pedant, being right is kinda crucial!

Depends on how many more points the PL try to deduct. We’d be in the Conference if they had their way.

 

[kiss the crest]

Because they are probably not bellends. Would they not be chanting abuse at Moshiri as he was at the game?

You don't have to be a bellend to shout that, just a football fan

 

[anton66]

We’re stinking the place out. No wonder other fans think we offer nothing to the PL as we don’t. Hope the manager and the players are forced to reimburse those travelling fans for a pathetic attempt again at trying to play football.

Proper football 6 — Hoofball and hope for a lucky break 0,

I cant help but think Dom went to a psychic before the game and was like "you'd best sit this one out".

Some major changes are needed for the notts forest game. If dyche starts colemen and young on the right side again, I cant see us getting anything. We got rinsed on that right side in the first half (didn't watch the 2nd half).
