Chelsea (H) Build up thread

If Long is out, would expect Redmond to start.

Expecting by end of today we’ll be pretty much relegated. Hope saints prove me wrong & relegation rivals lose their very winnable games.

I've had us down and out since Newcastle the rest of the season is just death by a thousand cuts. Mathematically we might still be in with a chance but there seems a total lack of fight from the players or leadership at the club things you need in a relegation battle. Even if we somehow pull off a win today I still think we are going down.

Well the next 8 days enshrines the whole season; we could be 6 points better off and in a Cup Final or still on 28 all over bar the crying and a demoralising national humiliation at Wembley to dwell on before Bournemouth come up to deliver the coup de grace. So depressing not getting excited about it at all, its the hope that kills….

It'll be an almost welcome relief when it finally happens.

Good time to be playing Chelsea, hopefully they'll be sh1t enough to let us score.

As said further up. We have to get something from this game. I personally can’t see it but if there is a good time to play Chelsea, then it is now.

 

They seem to down tools a tad when they go behind or let a lead slip!

That last bit could be the tag line of our season...

For those not going to the game and that don’t have Sky Sports the game is being shown on Sky One today.

 

Which means that you can get either a 14 day free trial of Sky Entertainment Pass on NowTv, or pay £7.99 for a monthly pass if already signed up, and watch the game as well as some actually decent entertainment (Soprano’s and soon-to-be-released West World season 2, etc.) It costs £7.99 for a Sky Sports day pass by way of comparison.

Quiz question - when was the last time Mike Dean refereed at SMS and didn’t give a penalty?

 

Off the top of my head I can recall Brighton earlier this year, Spurs (Harry Kane ballooned it), Hull in the last minute which we missed...

Expecting by the end of today to be nearly out of the relegation zone!!!

Feeling positive about the game today. Saints to put in a top performance. Will it be enough to get a win? Let s wait and see.

Let s sing our heart out and support the boys!!!!

COYS!!!

Pubs are dry in Dubai today so pre matching at home by finishing off a half a bottle of champagne left over from last nights excesses and a couple of huge bacon and mushroom sarnies

to mop up last nights excesses. Probably squeeze in a few Brew Dog 5am Saint .... and who knows a hhip flask of Malibu might slip into my pocket to make my Pub Coke taste better!!

 

Bizzarely I'll probably be more trashed than on a normal match day #COYS

Get a massive safety bet on Chelsea to win !?

Malibu ? Isn't that a bit of a girly drink?

Well, that's a 'must not lose' team if ever I saw one.

It’s the same as last week where we played well...what were you expecting?!

Plus don t forget we have a game on thursday. Austin will probably start against Leicester.

Bench looks good - apart from Forster. Long, Tadic, Ward-Prowse up front !!! The writing's on the wall.

Just seen Chelsea's line-up. Tough game.

Carrillo not in the squad again. Good work Les and Ross. What an embarrassment.

Agree with that lineup. Fresh Austin v Cahill should be interesting with 25 minutes remaining...

 

Defence will be interesting, embarrassing for a Premier League club that those are the options available to us.

 

It’s a case of whether we will be able to score more goals than they can. If we’re mirroring 2005, another 4-3 thriller coming up???

He was signed to show MoPe that he was being backed by the Board when the decision should have been to sack him. Carrillo will have zero value when we try to offload him in the summer.

Game is live on Sky One for those who do not have Sky Sports

The worse signing we have made in our history and probably takes the record for the most expensive striker never to score for their club.

Almost forgotten about Carrillo. Feel a bit sorry for him but it highlights how incompetent Les Reed has become. An absolutely reckless signing.

 

Strong looking Chelsea team but they seem to have given up a bit (much like ourselves). Praying for a win today but its difficult to see it.

The defence has been on a decline for two seasons not only in terms of first choices but back ups as well Cedric and Ryan have been able to get away with constant crap performances because there is no decent replacements to put pressure on their position.

Bednarek. Scared.

Chelsea look like they have a massive allocation. Uh oh

Was the only signing that would come, clearly. I was available.

Thanks for the tip-off

Damning indictment of our recent transfer and new contract policy Lemina, Boufal, Gabbi, Forster on the bench Gudio not even on it. Some of our biggest recent signings and highest paid players can't even get on the pitch.

That Chelsea team is full of quality. They may be in poor form but I reckon they'll have too much for us today. I correct my earlier predo of 1-1 to 1-3 to Chelsea but stranger things have happened. A point would be massive, as it puts us within 3 points of Swansea and Huddersfield.

Status Quo again on the speakers. Jesus

3-3?

 

I reckon they will get 3, can we get 3?

 

We were much improved last week, we need to take the chances when they come.

Gonna get smashed..
