No idea what was said but Patterson said something to Jackson who was sitting on the pitch. I guess it wasn’t best wishes for the rest of the season

Looks like Jackson refused to shake his hand so he's given him a push on the back of the head. Can't put your hands on a player's neck, so should be a ban.

Dunno what was said - but Jackson grabbed Patts round the throat.View attachment 238118

I saw the bit of a kerfuffle, didnt see that, but great to see the blues get stuck

Good to see them all getting in and supporting each other.

Branthwaite started running in before Jackson even got up . Good eye for danger.

I like how we've got some fighters in the team at the moment. Always bothered me about the baines/jagielka/Barry days that our leaders weren't fighters. And lets not mention what's happened since those days

Anyone else thought the palmer booking was a bit harsh don’t think he dived cos he got straight back up and think he may have lost his footing

My take on it was that he tried the StevieMe manoeuvre, i.e. throwing his leg out to connect with the defender to try to win a penalty but he missed. He knew that VAR would see that there was no contact so he realised he might as well get back up and play on.

Myko man of the match for me. Some great performances from the boys in royal blue. Branthwaite - so glad he managed to finish the game. Was worried for a bit when he stayed down.
Onana looked calm and composed when he came on.

Spot on. Fully deserved yellow.

The perfect summation from John Burns via TW...

4 Days, 5 Goals, 6 Pts.

Says it all.

Spot on. Fully deserved yellow.

You'd think that, having got that one so right, he'd have a better eye for them flopping every time we came near them. I've not known many games like it for such bias officiating.

On another note, will anybody ever get pulled up for a foul throw?

Loving the absolute snide in the squad thile past few days. Finally starting to show a bit of metal and no surprise the horse punchers and Chelssa players didn't like it.

Get into their heads, back one another up and there won't be many teams relishing facing Everton.

I was just about to post the same. We must be the team that others least want to play against. We play well and get right under their skin too. Brilliant.

It was amazing Chelsea’s woolly headed left back, who was at it all afternoon never got booked even though he was warned by Oliver in the first half and carried on his snidiness throughout the game, going down twice claiming an injury that never occurred, pure phoney cheat!
