Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Sarnia Kevin]

Chelsea 1 up.

..I do, Matey. I think that was the season they had a valid goal disallowed against us at their place.

You're spot on.
Bolton's first game or televised game at the Reebok, ball beat Southall and hit joint of crossbar and upright and fell behind the line.
That final game at home against Coventry was eventful though. The Farrelly goal, Barmby missing a penalty then Dublin equalising. All whilst watching Chelsea v Bolton and the Blues fans booing when Vialli scored.
That day we had RS luck.

Get in

 

[gonetomorrow]

Ya beauty!!!

 

[USABlue]

Giroud dodged a bullet with us

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

Class defending by [Poor language removed] Van Dyke there

 

[Lapeno77]

Girouds missus has a lot to answer for!!! Caused nearly as much damage to our season as Allardyce

 

[Mickey]

How great would it be if they got utterly pumped at the bridge?. Few doubts would start to set in.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Flipping cheat. I'd red card him and suspend him from the CL final meself.

 

[Seathestars]

They go on about Robertson being the new Maldini (most handsome Italian ever) yet he's being given the run around by Moses.
Alright going forward but can’t defend, I hope RM target him.

Southall was disembowelled a couple of seconds before that, which the ref missed. Justice. And as Woy said yesterday after Palace beat Stoke, you don't get relegated on one game, you get relegated over a whole season's performances...

Whilst true, the incidents/luck/other games on the same day do leave a resonance long after a disputed penalty in August is forgotten.

 

[Tubey]

Still makes me laugh that people on here didn't want Giroud at Everton in the summer. Clueless.

 

[Khalekan]

That Bakayoko plays for Chelsea?

He is nearly as bad as the Bakayoko use to play for us

How we stayed up that season remains a mystery - that game was horrifying, and the utter shoeing that Arsenal gave us the week before was even worse.

Aside from the comedy of the Goodison derby that season had nothing to recommend it whatsoever.
