That the players improve as we progress up the football ladder, but the ****ing ref's get worse! 2 games - 2 penalties that shouldn't have been, 1 sending off that shouldn't of been and 2 points stolen as we were so in control before the red card, we would of probably gone on and got another. However, there are so many positives to take from today's game. Ruddy, Johnson, Crofts, Bennett, Pilkington and Chris Martin were superb and look very comfortable at this level. We defended very, very well and when the defence was breached, Ruddy looked very comfortable. Both wingers caused problems all game and Pilkington was unlucky not to score. Great game, great atmosphere which was only spoiled by the ref (as usual) and his 5 minutes of injury time
We are good enough to stay up but Wigan and Stoke are important games as i doubt we will get anything from Chelski next Saturday, last weeks non pen and todays non pen and non red is 4pts stolen and thats the kind of margins that you need for survival... I m really disappointed but not with the team manager or performance.
agree 23 am gutted, but I suppose we learn from all of this. I thought we were really good today but as always in the PL the ref is the extra player: Mr Lambert's disgust when they scored and when Bennet was sent off was appropriate. But, still 2 games in. No losses. Still his record, and ours' remains. Good luck Chelsea. Never mind the Danger. As Ever
