I'll take any sort of win today, can see it being another nail biter, nothing seems to be easy this season

The weather is atrocious down here on the south coast today, so good luck to anyone going, prepare for a soaking.

Are the hotels etc. still on our books. I remember in the early days they used to have to be supported by the clubs income, not sure what the position is today though ?

If 'basic economic law' was applied to football clubs, we would be out of business by now, and the Bridge would be full of houses. Thing is, football is not like any other business model, its a world of its own, trying to impose sensible economic rules to it is hopeless. Players wages are ridiculously high, ordinary workers have pay freezes and reductions imposed on them if their company is in the red, but players live in a cosseted bubble, becoming millionaires every couple of months while the clubs they play for sink into the red, it crazy, but that's football !

well the taxpayer here will effectively fund West Hams new stadium, and Tottenham will receive taxpayer money towards the regen . of the area if their stadium gets the go ahead.Add in the fact that top players have a variety of methods to dodge tax on their incomes and I think its not all about basic economic law. And that's before you start to look at Romans wealth, you don't even want to go there! I think though, that this announcement will seriously limit the money Jose has at his disposal in the summer, can see a few leaving, including Mata to fund purchases.

I think Suarez's reputation undone him. It was deffo a pen, but no ref wants to give it if he thinks the cameras will show he was duped, we got away with it. But over all an excellent performance, our work rate was superb, let's hope we can push on from here

Excellent player, and getting better the more PL time he gets.

Fantastic at The Bridge yesterday, cracking atmosphere and a stunning performance, please please Chelsea don't undo it at Southampton.

what a lovely vid

Great idea beerqueen

our false number 9 or the greatest ever centre forward in the world who's on loan to the Toffee's ?

haven't read any Hamlet, but I've smoked a few.

Dunno mate, but if he lives within 200 miles of London, Brenden will be lodging a complaint.

Haha, that could be right...remember dads taking their kids thru the turnstile saying 'room for a little in' as the kid squeezed in with them. Blimey, some of our crowds must have been massive if they were added in.

Torres struggles against everyone mate, the most you can hope for with him is a lot of running around with no end product

I love football logic !!

Glad to hear that !But I think it's going to be a long afternoon for us, you looked terrific against City. I can see us playing you on the break, sitting back for most of the game. A point would be ok , but you never know with us, could nick all three.

Fortress Chelsea....it won't be easy for them, need massive support on Sunday.

Wishful thinking more like....look like every game's going to end up as a nail biter.

Excellent first 30 mins...clean sheet....all set up for liverpool
