The last couple of minutes reminded me of this (sound on):

Great pass from Neto

Zian Flemming should go back to writing James Bond books

I've never met Scott Parker, but I can say with 100% confidence that he has only ever referred to a car as a 'motor'.

Is Estêvão doing a shot? Lad

Fine if unspectacular. Neto got a quality assist.

I feel like some of you could take a page out of my mum's book (she's a Wednesday fan, to @loz's dismay), who texted me the other day to say 'did you see the football? Wednesday almost got a draw."

Haha 'just a sh*t Cucurella' That Hannibal strikes me as the class tell-tale, really not living up to his name.

Not the first time Kyle Walker's been caught in two minds

Loved the close-up on Humphreys wiping snot on his shirt

'Cross for Neto to head at the back post' feels like an idea we haven't really thought through

No idea why we're playing Gusto, a centre-mid, at left-back.

Dennis Wise experiencing a rare moment of nominative determinism:

I don't think there's any question of who topped out of that duo.

I can't find any evidence for this, but I remember chuckling at Chiellini's approach to winding up Jack Grealish by complimenting his calves and hair.

Nice try

He could grow it out a bit like his dad did?

In the three years preceding this season, in the FA Cup they were drawn against Man Utd in the third round (and lost), Liverpool in the third round (and lost), and Man City in the fourth round (and lost). They've had worse luck than we have.

Pedro Neto scores a spectacular hat trick against Championship opposition to win the Liam Rosenior derby. Garnacho is keeping his fingers crossed for League Two opposition in the next round in the hope of finally finding his level. Take your pick.

Damn, that was a great story from Curtis Davies.

@GarnachoCheese I distinctly hear the sound of a gauntlet being lain down.

My cat has a brain I would estimate to be about the size of a golf ball. He just failed at his speciality of climbing into or onto places he’s not allowed to go, and fell on his arse (this time it was the laptop), despite the [literal] proverb. He is unusually dumb for a cat. He would be an immediate improvement as sporting director of Chelsea FC.

Well done Liam Delap, a player identified by people employed directly by private equity geniuses to identify good or good-value footballers as a suitable £30m striker for Chelsea FC.
