Chelsea vs Burnley

All cheer for burnley and clattenburg

 

[Marty]

PATERSOOOOON

How did he not score there?

 

[kcmei]

2 great chances for burnley cant beleive he missed

 

[Marty]

Think we finally saw a situation where Drogba's reputation preceded himself. Clearly caught just outside the box but a slightly theatrical fall makes Clattenberg wave play on.

Stevo's Predos on BBC

1230: Stevo's Predos:
Chelsea 3-1 Burnley
Blackburn 1-1 West Ham
Bolton 1-2 Liverpool
Stoke 1-1 Sunderland
Tottenham 5-1 Birmingham
Wolves 2-1 Hull
Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal

Eek

I get a bad feeling when someone neutral actually predicts that we'll thump the opponent.

 

[Marty]

From stirydka1 on 606: "Burnley are a really strange side to play against. At times they look like a Championship team, with lack of pace and defensive positioning. And then, before you realise, they are in behind you..."

Never has a truer word been spoken on 606.

The Eduardo dive might have played a factor as well



Agree about when someone predicts that we'll thump the opponent. Gets too many hopes up, lost to them last season as as well.

Think it will be a close game with Birmingham trying to hit us on the break

 

[kcmei]

as seen from his last match ref for us he dont give many fouls or yellow cards this year

 

[Marty]

Dammit, Anelka 1-0 on the stroke of HT

Great attack though, and fully deserved.

 

[SpurSince57]

It's like the Hull game. The Russians have virtually no threat down the left from midfield and not much support for Bosingwa on the right.

 

[Marty]

2-0

Bollocks, header from cross.

Game over.

 

[cwy21]

3-0.

Our hopes to be top of the table over the break are slipping away.

 

[Marty]

3-0. Cashley ****

But I have to grudgingly admit that it was a fantastic goal, neat passing and great finish.

 

[kcmei]

haha i got cole in my fantasy team

 

[Marty]

I've got Carvalho and Essien, so they'd better not concede and if they get one more Essien's gotta get it. But I'd rather they didn't score more.

 

[Partizan]

Lampard's assists today have been top drawer. And some people still fail to acknowledge him as a world class player

:duh:

 

[cwy21]

Chelsea looks amazing this season. Its still early but I could see them running away with the title by 10+ points.

I know. Even if we were to beat both Brum and ManUre I can't see us getting anything from the Bridge. They might not get round on the wings much against compact sides but they always seem to manage to work it through the middle anyway.

 

[Marty]

Great save by Jensen from an Essien strike, that was going in.

 

[haxman]

He's basically saved them from a real hiding, this could have been nearly double figures for Chelsea by now.
