Matchday thread for the Premier League match vs Brentford at Stamford Bridge.

BUT more importantly at 1PM is the protest against Eghbali and BlueCo. If you can be there to help fight to get our clubs soul back please do so.

WLD BLUECO OUT!

Brentford's attack will likely have a field day against our keystone cops defending. That, aligned with the protests, should make for an uncomfortable afternoon for the leaches running our club.

Protest maybe, I doubt it but maybe. The game though? Like they care.

"It is more important to build business value than win or lose on the field"

WLD BlueCo out.

Brentford amazingly two points ahead of us currently (despite being a lot of peoples favourites for relegation), so 3 points needed to go above them.

PLEASE, LR, none of this Sanchez and the defenders f**king about with it at the back. We will have enough trouble dealing with Brentfords set pieces and balls into the box without creating more problems ourselves. Can't see Fofana playing another game so soon after last night and coming off, so pray LR picks a good side that will be able to deal with Brentfor and in particular Thiago who is scoring goals for fun. If he gets a few against us, what are the chances we look to sign him in the summer for £100m?!!!

Given our recent form this has become a must win game. Anything else and we are more likely to be pulled into the lower half of the table.

WE haven't got 100m. If he's got as 14 year old brother though, we could probably get to 30m

As far as the remaining games in the PL are concerned, we've basically got 17 straight cup finals and we'll need to win at least 12 of them.

Another team that simply isn't afraid to play us, even at the Bridge.

Brentford have a potent front line, experienced and physical team, and long throw specialists. What could go wrong?

Why should they be afraid? Why should any side?

Maresca was a flawed manager who had us play boring football. Yet he wanted to win, asked for a little help to win and got told no, got the hump and left. Now we have some pseudo psychologist who has no clue at this level and is here to "manage, age management" the cattle for market.

Our defence is a joke, Bob is laughable as a ball playing keeper, we have a worse selection of wide attackers despite getting rid of nkunku, Noni and Felix and managed to assemble a forward line that makes Jackson look elite!

Had Wolves had some balls they could have done something against us.

I think Wolves are a different prospect to play now, then when we beat them earlier in the season. They may have left it too late to avoid relegation but they should pick up a lot more points second half of the season.

SANCHEZ

GUSTO FORFANA CHALOBAH CUCURELLA

JAMES CAICEDO

PALMER ENZO GARNACHO

NETO

DONT THINK DELAP WILL BE FIT, ESTEVAO SHOULD START BUT THE YES MAN WILL BE TOLD TO SIT HIM ON THE BENCH

They are in good form and we are in sh*t form and just hired a P.E teacher, so no chance of 3 points here.

i think both fofana and palmer are being used for a maximum of 60 minutes currently.

What Brentford have done so far this season is remarkable. They lost their 2 top goal scorers , lost their captain, lost their manager. AND they're above us in the table.

God only knows how we would have done in a similar situation.

BUT I think we win this. BUT I still remember the tonking they gave us at The Bridge a few years ago, scored a couple of banging goals too. We lost 1-4 FFS

We win 3-1 !! Come on you BLUES!

Anyone fancy tomorrow’s game in the dug out club? You get a padded seat, yes padded and a great view of the back of players heads as they sit on the bench with a meet and great of one of those players after the game.

They have just dropped in price by a whopping £400 in the last hour……. Now available for the modest price of……… brace yourself………. £2,350 pp.

At that price I’ll have two just for the leg room🙄

They also have the lowest payroll in the league according to Capology

Amazing isn't it..AND they built a brand new stadium.! Not long ago they were a permanent lower league team

Perhaps the owners should have modelled themselves after Brentford instead of Brighton, who only made a profit when we gave them tonnes of money.

SO A VIDEO WAS SNEAKED OUT AFTER TRAINING TODAY BY ONE OF THE PLAYERS

Match Day!

Come On Chelsea!!

Please!!!

Oh dear…nothing to look forward to today except more psychology from the PE teacher in his pre and post match comments. I know it’s only 2 games in and 50 interviews, but I’m getting bored with him already…perhaps I shouldn’t…maybe after another couple of games. He’s like a giggly kid ATM.

First time at the bridge today as a lifelong fan. Absolutely buzzing.

Hope Liam ages these men well enough to get us the win today!
