It's a bit difficult to get used to something that only happens once or twice a year

Very windy today, Tuchel’s hair island could be exposed.

Sex joke about you and your wife. 

Time to see if Pulisic can perform with his start. I like the line up.

Name of my sex tape....once or twice a year

Tommy Tinkerman keeps us all guessing with the starting XI once again. Would be strange to suddenly shift to a back 4 but that's certainly what the team selection looks like. 

Big call to select Pulisic and Ziyech who have looked far from impressive of late. 

It’s very quiet here considering we’re 30 minutes away from playing Dirty Leeds!

Yeah he has kept a lot guessing with this line up.

and I agree ziyech and pulisic have yet to put in a impressive performance as of late

I have a good feeling about our socks today, I think we may go full blue. 

I was thinking the same thing.

I'm also hugely encouraged that for once my first goalscorer  - Jorginho - is starting!

Is this a guaranteed 3 points, or what?!

Anyone Got Links For The Game?

it has got to be a back 4 with that selection....

                       Mendy

Azpi  Christensen Rudiger Chilwell

             Kante  Jorginho

Ziyech          Mount         Pulisic

                   Havertz

 

I dont think either Pulisic or Ziyech can play the right wing back role effectively...

It was good of Dirty Leeds to dig up the potatoes before the match wasn’t it. 

Tommy likes playing very high wingback, they are basically wingers. And one of those is usually a bit more offensive. Looks like Pulisic is playing right wing in a 3-2-4-1 formation

4-3-3 as a dress rehearsal for the Atletico game? 

Otherwise I'm wondering why we'd move away from a formation that's bought so much recent success. 

But then Pulisic as the RWB would be a strange choice too, especially as CHO is available. 

Pitch looks like garbage. How can they play premier league on such garbage pitches. We have much better in our low standard a league here in Australia 

Come on CHELS!

Smash these pricks!

Hopefully nobody gets injured on this pitch today.

Chelsea vs Charlton 2003.

At least we won 4-1 on the day.

Gameday!! Lets goooo!!! 

That was then. Ah well. 

Is that a back four?!

just switched to BT sport coverage after watching madness on youtube for the last half hour, i loved that little segment

 

 

OMG remember this day.....

@Munkworth liked a comment of mine. for months i lay awake at night hoping for this day to come.

Actually I’ve just heard from my commentators the pitch was bought from Spurs. Now I understand why it’s so crappy. 

Nice little VT from Suggs & co there on BT, got me feeling confident.
