Match Day Thread Chelsea FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 25th October 2025 - KO 15:00

I've just had my tea and then remembered today really did happen. Gerrin

 

Well well well who said Brobbey might not be up to speed , and this could be a bridge too far, brilliant motivation that. .
Seriously that was another brick in the wall that we are building here, and the team is going from strength to strength, we are in this league on merit and here to stay as Merson said . OaU.
PS I doubt we will get much higher this season than this, but what a start we have made to life in the top league in the world.

Watson has just come on for Brighton wonder what he is feeling about his actions as Man U go 3 up.

 

I think the excuse is the game has stopped so the ref cant do anything.

Guaranteed if it was the other way round we would have seen a red and it being talked about for days

 

Shocking that by the Ref to allow that 3rd goal for Man U. should be a public outcrywith these refs and var at Old Trafford in particular.

 

Brighton have Milner and Welbeck in their team ...

... neither would start for us in my opinion.

 

Off to a gig in North Shields!! Absolutely floating!!

 

Well that was bloody something mind.

I thought a while ago that these lads aren't frightened of anyone, and they're not. Neither is Regis. This is a proper, good team we have here and it will only get better. It's only nine games they have played together and they will already give anyone a game, and a fight if it comes to it.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen the like of this before. Not just the team, though this level of improvement over three and a bit years is rare enough. But everything, the physical and personnel improvements to the Academy, the introduction of a proper footballing structure fit for today's game, the improvements to the stadium with more possible, the sky high hit rate on buying players.

All this, all at the same time. In a few years. It just hasn't happened before. So a rollicking thank you to all involved in it.

And I like to look at it this way too; the way we are shaping up now is a massive thank you to all who kept the flame burning when we were surrendering in the Championship and then floundering in League One, seemingly with many people at the place not that bothered or utterly incapable. There had to be something for KLD to take over and nurture, and those who kept that faith ensured there was. We were the subject of much, (often deserved) mockery back then and a lot of people were laughing.

They are not laughing now.

 

Fantastic well done to all.

 

He will struggling to get back into the team. Standard is through the roof for a starting 11

 

Welbeck just scored a beautiful free kick

not sure mare, but I'm loving what's happening at our club.... I mean we've just beaten the Club World Cup winners.

 

Pure propaganda piece

 

You said you needed a boost. I reckon your prayers were answered

 

Do they sub that work out to a nine year old?

 

They can keep Guiu as well. Wasn't impressed with him at all today.

 

Same here

 

About to score the equaliser;-)
