Except we don't want to get badly beaten. We've got a decent goal difference to protect.

Yeh, but that doesn't mean you have to start off camped in your own half. That kind of starting tactic would only backfire I think. Now if at 2-0 down the game is likely over and it would be damage limitation. It's important not to give them the initiative and the lead at the start but we often do that with high placed teams.
 
If we camp in our own half and let Chelsea have possession, sometimes over 90 minutes they will pass there way through us and score. they look least at ease when teams go at them with pace and power. e.g. Bradford City.
 
Way over the top reaction, even in slow motion. Is he looking fro the ref when he turns round? That said, under the current laws, Bentalob should have been sent off it was seen.
 
At least he didn't roll around on the floor holding his face. I thought the reaction was fairly normal but I've only seen that vine, don't know what he did after.

That looks so so feminine the way he reacts to the slap.

It's the way there is a slight delay before he decides to react that gets me. It doesn't seem instinctive. He then looks as if to say, "Oooh, you big bully boy." I'm beginning to think that sort of reaction is now being coached into the players so that it does become instinctive, not just to slaps but to any sort of contact. It's like crowding the ref after every foul. The whole thing is designed to get players sent off. Bentalob was lucky to stay on. Watch how the Chelsea players respond to Alex Bruce this afternoon.

It's to be hoped that their play-acting gets carded.

We've been undone by two of the most ridiculous own goals and a **** referee decision. However staunch you are in your weird hatred of Pearson, you know deep down that we were unlucky today.

We get the same amount of bad luck as everyone else. Just we don't get any good luck.

I can't remember the last time something good happened to us that's made me think "we didn't deserve that".
We'd be going down even if we were a lucky side, because we're just not clinical enough and our defence loves to gift goals away.
