Chelsea finally won. But only just.

Lucky to win that one.

Decent game tonight, supporting Arsenal for the title as they are the least offensive club of the ones who have a chance but Liverpool would be OK too, but only for Benteke.

We have no chance mate lol

Unless we sign Cavani.

What a draw

Wouldn't miss this one for the world

Last week's game should have been a draw. How can we hope to do well if we can't even cope with a ball kicked out by the keeper, can't take it upfield or at least into a corner to waste time and play for the draw? Lose it almost as soon as it's passed, and then they score? Deja vu or what? Bring back Benteke.

Squad now > squad last season. The time was right for Benteke to move on.

Adama and Grealish had belters last night apparently.

Cant wait for the window to close, its just too stressful. He's in Watfords reserve team and he wants to think about it! All because " his fwiends are in London and he weally weally likes it there", ffs get a grip you argie nonce.

It'd be bearable if the we weren't owned by a raving lunatic. I have a look online in the morning just praying that he hasnt lost the plot again overnight. Whatever we did wrong in the past surely we have served our time now, eight years of that Chelsea wanker and now this.

Sky can feck right off, we're five games into the season and we haven't played at 3 o clock on a fecking Saturday once yet.

I think you'll go down fwiw.

Adama Traore is ridiculous, was watching his videos on Youtube all week and within about 5 minutes he does that. Built like a fucking ox as well. Blatantly gonna be back at Barca before his contract ends.

Your lot should have beat us yesterday like. No doubt. A point for us away from home against a team we traditionally can't beat is huge, but we didn't really deserve it. We gave you the ball, we gave you the initiative, we allowed you to attack us time and time again, both our full backs were non-existent and you got in behind us no matter which side you went down, we gave you a penalty...

For those reasons, coupled with what is for me a correct decision for a penalty shout on Kaboul, I don't understand Sherwoods comment that they were robbed. They just weren't clinical enough.

I like that we're scoring goals, for a club that never scores enough goals, but our defence was just as embarassing yesterday as it has been for the first three weeks, we just weren't made to pay for it as much.

Yeah we played well, the forums are saying stuff like "anyone who thinks we aren't in a relegation scrap after that needs to get real" ffs

Still feel like it was two points lost.

That M'Vila I think it was, looks decent. Scored the free kick and pinged some pass to Defoe who should have scored. I'm sure it was him anyway.
