Match Day Thread HMG's Chelsea (H ) Sat 9th April 15:00

Probably the worst time to play them after two heavy home defeats.

OTOH, we will catch them when they are down, and put four past them, before they realise what has happened. Always look on the bright side of life....

I wouldn't want to be in Real Madrid's boots after Chelsea have lost 3 in a row.

 

Looks like money can't buy results if it's all frozen up. They are there for the taking. COYS.

 

Do I sniff the slight whiff of an opportunity here?

 

It's your toast burning....

From my usual "I know nothing about football, but this is what I reckon" viewpoint, this will go one of two ways - Either Chelsea players will still be on a complete downer, and lose all interest in the game, allowing us to win easily, or Tuchel will have inspired them to show what they can really do, and we'll have to settle for a draw.

Or they might beat us, but I'm ignoring that possibility...

 

Regrettably, Saints are the masters of outrageous generosity - a striker who has not scored in 50 games will find the net against us, a team who has not won an away game for 3 years will beat us off the pitch at St Mary's... we can be too saintly for our own good!

 

This is going to be a win, lose or draw...no doubt about it.

 

I admire your confidence. Have you ruled out the possibility of an abandoned match, requiring a replay?

 

No Broja I suppose, who could take his place?

 

Shane Long. There is only one no7

 

Chelsea, who the flamin' 'eck are Chelsea? We'll stuff that lot imo.

 

Massive insight well done! I also believe it's a game of two halves after which the team with the most goals wins.

 

I am hoping that my internet is up and running, in Spain, so I can watch this. Last time I was in Spain, I contracted to an internet company that allows me to turn the internet on and off, so I only pay for the days I am there. This will be the first test of their ability to deliver.

 

I don't know what the current roaming charges are for UK networks in the EU. I have a T-mobile unlimited for €25 that I use as a tethering hot spot when travelling and access to all the TV I want.

 

Long is injured.

 

What we don't want to do is concede first.

 

The next goal is important.
