    After the dismal result of last nights game against the Foxes and the upcoming fixture against Chelsea on Saturday .....someone needed to do a match thread and quick.
    So here it is no thrills/pictures/ bells or whistles........meh.... can only see a home win for the blues here.
    My prediction 3-0.

    Play like we did last night and we will get spanked by 7/8. We won't though, we will be set up more defensively with maybe a return to a 3 at the back in a 5-4-1 type thing, but feel it will be similar to the Liverpool game at Anfield with the same score line 3-0.

    More confident with this one that i was the Leicester match. it was so easy to see that defeat coming, but i wasn't expecting us to concede four. I just hope they will get a kick up the arse and won't have lost their confidence. going for a 1 - 2 win.

    Play to our defensive strengths and we could get something from this game. Chelsea, like Arsenal, aren't at their best. If we get nothing (not unexpectedly) from this game, let's at least have a good performance.

    We will somehow win. Hopefully last night was a blip, and that the good form itself wasn't the blip.

    No new injuries.

    Interesting press conference. That is one unhappy manager. Wouldn't be surprised if we had a bit of movement next month.

    Except their pride I hope.


    Was it confirmed why Hoedt was dropped? It can't be injury now.

    <laugh> Despite resisting your miserabilist tone, I had to like your post because you're right - the motivation of professional athletes ought never to be in doubt. Mick Channon never needed motivating. Nor did Jimmy Case, Glen Cockeril, Frannie Benali, or dozens of other ex Saints who never earned a fraction of what these guys earn (Matty did need motivating sometimes, but that's Matty - he could do no wrong)

    Nah, I think the version that MP2 has been sleeping with Wesley’s dog and they have a litter on the way is far more plausible.

    If I earned more in a week than I usually do in 2 years whether I played with passion or not I could see my game dropping off. You have to play for looove! not money. If I get a tax refund of a few hundred quid I feel like taking the next week off! If you're earning 50 grand a week how is money an incentive? I'd run out of things to buy within a month AND it makes me laugh when footballers are hailed for donating 1% of their salaries to charity. wow
