Chelsea goal ruled Offside... Phew! P.s. looked like a legit goal on the replay. Double phew

Tend to agree with this. Last thing we want to do is score with more than 5 minutes on the clock!

Through ball well anticipated by Gunn again there

Sounds like we've both got a copy of the same script. #Inevitable.

Decent effort from Armstrong

Half time. Decent performance overall.

This has got a Chelsea goal just before half time written all over it

Great save Gunn

Giving the ball away too much in the middle third

"Is this the Emirates?"

Moss just gave us a free kick (true story)

Good reaction from Gunn to come out of his area then

A nervy first 10 minutes but starting to come into the game now

There are mods on here that clamp down on trolling and WUMs...? Who knew?

Good to see Slattery involved

I didn't read it that way. They're saying that he will take on Hojbjerg's playing position, not his role as captain (IMO). Would be surprised if the captain's armband wasn't given to Romeu.

Bite count prediction: 14

The bestest.... #tinpot

This. 6 points from Ralph's first 4 games at the helm is encouraging (not counting the Cardiff game as he only had 2 training sessions before that which isn't enough to significantly influence the outcome) Hojbjerg getting himself sent off is going to adversely affect us though as he's the player Ralph was building his team around.

You appear to be mistaking Saintsweb for a tolerant and pragmatic forum where people don't get their knickers in a twist over someone doing something they enjoy. Lady Trousers doesn't get why anyone gets pleasure out of watching 22 overpaid egotistical men trying to kick a ball between two sticks for 90 minutes - she reckons it's "pointless"... Each to their own I guess...

Indeed. I think that's the pragmatic way to look at yesterday's result (yes, I'm fully aware that saintsweb doesn't do pragmatism but bear with me...). Yes, most of us were probably expecting more from last night (and with a decent ref we may well have snuck a point), but 6 points from Ralph's first* 4 games at the helm is an improvement on where we were. (*don't think it's 'fair' to include the Cardiff game as he only had 2 training sessions beforehand which wasn't enough to exert a significant influence on the outcome IMO)

Well, this tribute thread is going well...

Indeed. Surely goading the disabled fans in the same way he goaded the non-disabled fans is a display of equality rather than discrimination...?
