    So glad to escape with all 3 points, thanks guys. Still missing 4 first choice players, the fact that we were awful and clung on by our fingernails makes it all the more satisfying. Couldn't have complained if we had lost 3-1. But we didn't and we've opened up an unexpected gap space on the bottom 3.    :o)

  • dan

    For a few seconds I got confused and thought we were playing barca.  Shit officiating if I've ever seen it.

  • Really proud of how the boys played in the second half. I wonder what AVB said to them at half-time to really light that fire. We were so close to at least getting a draw.

  • Mateo

    we went down with out boots on,

    SO MUCH HONOUR i feel really proud of the team, despite the outcome

  • ph0bolus

    Malouda has been shit...I'd have rather had Kalou on.

  • AISIR

    we're showing a LOT of character! whatever the result..

  • Sharinganfx

    HOLY SHIT LOL. man we're class.

  • Again, this is a joke. We're on pace to have every player booked today.

  • orthodoxyordeath

    We're playing hard, but still getting shit on by Foy. No fouls on QPR? Plus, that last card on Cole means we don't have him for next week against Arsenal.

  • Tom

    we get cole for arsenal, just not for the midweek game against Everton

  • Playing some solid football, but this has turned into a fucking joke. 

  • Dochinzo

    We're playing decently. This is a good exercise for one touch, free flowing football. Except that, we need to win.

  • QPR are a bunch of mugs. Derry and Hill can jog the fuck on.

  • Sharinganfx

    things can still possibly even up on the man front. set pieces always help. wonder if the special one ever does 9 man training.

  • ph0bolus

    bullshit red for bosingwa and what the hell was going through drogbas head?

  • He was thinking I've been semi-rubbish for the better part of a year so I better make something happen. Ridiculous.

  • Dochinzo

    Drogba has been terribly ineffective. We want to renew his contract?

  • ph0bolus

    Bayern Munich seem to be in a similar situation. 1-0 down away from home via a pen and now a man down.

  • Mateo

    that ref should get gang raped in a dark alley, i really cant belive this

  • Dochinzo

    And Anelka on for Mata. We are fucked.

  • Mata who appeared to injure his shoulder. Fucking great.

  • Dochinzo

    Currently playing with only midfielders,3 CB's and and one LB

  • Dochinzo

    What the fuck is wrong with this ref?!!?
    Chelsea down to 9.

  • Nothing wrong with him on the Drogba sending off. That was an atrocious challenge. Mostly everything else, however, is on Foy.

  • Yeah, you can wrap it up now. Drogba with a ludicrous tackle, and we're down to nine.

  • Sharinganfx

    at least Torres is gonna be back? this is insane...

  • That's an egregious decision. Fucking awful.

  • Sharinganfx

    Foyd is the worse fucking ref ever

  • Mateo

    this looks like 2010 chelsea, and to make matters worse, in ot back ups i do not trust

  • Sharinganfx

    i think drogs and luiz should just switch positions. that would be entertaining

  • QPR are frantic in their pressing. You'd expect them to tire quickly. Sidenote: Somebody's getting sent off today.

  • We both jinxed it apparently, Jack. When I saw Luiz on the teamsheet instead of Ivanovic, I told my friend that he'd probably give away a penalty. Sigh.

  • Mateo

    way to jinx lol, the ref isnt even trying to appear level

  • No point in slagging off Bob. We all know what we're going to get with him. Plus, Helguson went down like a heap of bricks. We'll be fine.

  • AISIR

    bob's recklessness costing us as we all knew it would one day..

  • Sharinganfx

    Bob just embracing his role as a freaking clown. We're not gonna lose but again no clean sheet.

  • Up the Chels.

  • Mateo

    Although mathematically Merc city winning didnt quite benefit us, i cant hide my exitement when Manure gets their asses handed handed to them at OT. now its our time to sieze the 2 place.i was hoping to see josh starting, but... i will be happy if he gets some minutes as a sub

  • City's kind of good, eh?
