for those that are going to the game, where will you be drinking before?

Apparently we won't be able to drink anywhere near the stadium. Have a read of the club statement seems pretty intense

where are people drinking before? Probably not still in Tower Hill any more like when they were at upton park?

Done Deal it would appear pending medical

Thought there was a lot of promise from last night. Period of about 15-20 mins after half time where we looked like a proper team, it was actually a pleasure to watch for a little while. Definitely need players to reinforce this squad. We still look like we lack creativity and still worry that a very quick attack could open up our defence, although I dont think that any of our back 4 put a foot wrong. Hazard looked excellent, kante good although the early reckless yellow ended up having a big influence on his game. Thought oscar looked sub par to begin but grew into the game, likewise felt willian first half looked like he might have been carrying a knock. Did anyone else notice that we begun by sitting quite deep(too deep in my opinion) and then as soon as we took a higher line and pressed a bit more we were able to dominate the game a lot more? Finally no one really talking about it that much but it would be an absolute nightmare letting fabregas go, he is a class act and still the only player in our team that could reliably turn a game based on one good pass. Not to mention the work that he does controlling the tempo of the game and taking stress off the back 4 and matic. I still rate matic very highly, as I do kante but it is unfair to constantly rely on them to be our creative force when their jobs are to break up the play and to defend and track not to spray 40 yard wonder passes…. Good performance, great 3 points, good atmosphere, and shock shock no noise from the pikey boys….

those that are going tonight... Where are you drinking before the game??

I know some people saying a bit better but, I really thought we were infinitely better on Wednesday night thought we were playing proper football for the first time in a long long time which was refreshing and sort of felt that there 2 goals were just long strikes that(although we should have done better with) would normally be the sort of effort courtouis would just see wide... Thought mikel and fabregas looked very good together, obi did well again and thought cesc had arguably his best game of the season... still room for a lot of improvement but i thought it was a much better performance and also that the ref completely sh*t his pants. Anyone else feel a bit of promise from the performance??
