October 25, 200916 yr 1-3 int Carling 1-1 int Prem, a good point Edited October 26, 200916 yr by Carlos
October 31, 200916 yr Perhaps Elmander is now fully fit & Megson sees him as a first choice when fit. Gardner and/or Taylor may have knocks from midweek: we just don't know!
October 31, 200916 yr Basham always scores against Chelsea , i know hes only played once against them but
October 31, 200916 yr Kinell. I kept thinking 'Just watch these cnuts score just before half time'. B0llocks.
October 31, 200916 yr Stupid challenge by Samuel IMO. He'd let Drogba get in behind him and stood no chance of making a clean challenge from that angle. The slightest touch on Drogba will always result in him hitting the deck: Samuel should have just sprinted towards the goal-line and let Jussi deal with Drogba. Worst case scenario is a Chelsea goal, rather than a Chelsea goal and a red card. Despite the 4-0 scoreline, I thought we attempted to play some good stuff, Elmander looked a bit more like an ?8m striker too.
October 31, 200916 yr For someone who would take a JCB to knock over, Drogba doesn't half go down easily.
October 31, 200916 yr For someone who would take a JCB to knock over, Drogba doesn't half go down easily. It was a pen but not a sending off, turned the whole game on its head, that what the top four get given and the rest dont Edited October 31, 200916 yr by tyldesley_white
October 31, 200916 yr i thought Elmander played aright today if it was a foul (couldn't really tell from where i was) it was a sending off in my opinion.
October 31, 200916 yr It was a pen but not a sending off, turned the whole game on its head, that what the top four get given and the rest dont Fair fucks to Fat Frank, when interviewed after he said the sending off as well as pen rule is silly. Edited October 31, 200916 yr by no balls
October 31, 200916 yr Wasn't there today but after last Wednesdays 4-0 drubbing and another today our defence is a real worry. Zat Knight and Ricketts both look very suspect and Samuel is going through another bad spell like he did when he joined us. How were they today? Our fans are no doubt the best in the world. Villa he we come
October 31, 200916 yr According to the BBC sport website live scores we lost 5 nil! Bolton 0-5 Chelsea R
October 31, 200916 yr It was a pen but not a sending off, turned the whole game on its head, that what the top four get given and the rest dont If it was a pen, then it was a sending off, under the rules. Doesn't make the rules right, but there you go.

Villa he we come If anyone one looked suspect today it was Cahill,if it was not for Jussi, his 2 errors we would have already been 2 down before the pen Edited October 31, 200916 yr by tyldesley_white
October 31, 200916 yr It was a pen and according to the rules he had to go. What annoys me about the rule is that the player is sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity but they are then given back the goal scoring opportunity by being awarded the penalty. Therfore why does the player have to be sent off also? It results in a double punishment. Was the last goal offside? The other two goals came from bad defending from Ricketts and Kev Davies for goals 2 and 3 respectively. I thought we had a go and it would be difficult to play them with 11 men never mind 10 for the whole of the second half. Why did Samuel have to lunge in like that? I was confused with the starting 11 also. You need your experienced players in games like this so I can only assume that Gardener and Taylor had slight knocks. The lads worked their bollox off in the second half and you could see they were physically knackered.
October 31, 200916 yr If anyone one looked suspect today it was Cahill,if it was not for Jussi, his 2 errors we would have already been 2 down before the pen Ricketts was suspect at times too and from his reaction he knew it. He shouldn't have let Anelka have that ball when he was nearer to it.
October 31, 200916 yr Was the last goal offside? I thought so but you can never 100% tell at the game, can you? That liner was poor all game though.

Looked offside on the tv, Samuel did not lunge in he just touched his ankles when trying to get back ,if robinson got booked for that tackle, then why was the 3rd goal allowed he nealy took knights head off, studs up, head height and all that shit Edited October 31, 200916 yr by tyldesley_white
October 31, 200916 yr Ricketts was suspect at times too and from his reaction he knew it. He shouldn't have let Anelka have that ball when he was nearer to it. I agree 100%. Ricketts is awesome going forward but is too often let down by his defensive abilities.
October 31, 200916 yr Ricketts was suspect at times too and from his reaction he knew it. He shouldn't have let Anelka have that ball when he was nearer to it. you've got to respect Anelka speed, and I think thats what he did just tryed and buy some time for people to get back and help out,didn't work mind

It was a good old fashioned hard tackle which they seem to be trying to outlaw. Edited October 31, 200916 yr by jolly-olly
October 31, 200916 yr I was gobsmacked at Robonson's booking. It was a good old fashioned hard tackle which they seem to be trying to outlaw. They only seem to trying outlaw it when you are playing a top 4 team and it against them
October 31, 200916 yr They only seem to trying outlaw it when you are playing a top 4 team and it against them Indeed. When he got that booking I just thought, let's pack in now, eh and give them the points. Refs - spineless wankers who've probably never made a tackle in their life! Watching a game sober is bloody over rated! Grrrr!
1-3 int Carling
1-1 int Prem, a good point
