Badders omg nooooooooo 

 

[El regreso]

Still don’t trust this team so not expecting a win. Draw but more likely a lost.

Seagulls will want to out one over on us.

 

[Scott]

Picking a near certain win over a near certain disappointment? Now why would you do that?

Nothing is certain mi amigo. 

 

[Caps_Lock_King]

WTF?

Badiashile AGAIN 

HE IS sh*t

 

[just]

Strong bench at last.

 

[JM7]

Unfortunately I think we’ll drop points. We’re still conceding way too many goals.

Yeah and is now on Trev to hold together a defence when he has Badiashile on one side and a Gusto wanting to get forward on the other, while Cucu is likely inverting.

Defending against Dunk and Webster might be fun.

 

[Scott]

Stereo Chels

Come on you blues, another MUST WIN game.

Anything less than 3 points probably means no europa league, I can’t see an injury ravaged Man Utd getting anything more than 1 point against Newcastle.

It would really be nice if we can smash Brighton tonight by 5 or 6 goals, to get abit closer to Newcastle’s goal difference.

Their goal difference is 22, ours is 12.

I don't think players feel this is a must win game. Sorry. 

 

[just]

Joao Pedro back up front for them. He is a decent centre forward.

 

[dR3]

Come on boys!

 

[General]

When was the last time team won four on the trot in EPL ? I was looking at stats but google wont give me a straight answer to my Q, is it perhaps when TT took over from SFL ?

£205m v £978m

Money talks !

0-5 !

Good option to come in a compete with Nico you think Just?

 

[PloKoon13]

Hilarious that there are boos from the Brighton fans whenever Cucurella touches the ball rather than a peal of laughter.

 

[mojo]

thanks f**k we are not playing in that horrible mint kit again

 

[DarkMata]

When did we sign osimhen and whys he playing in midfield?
