How do you reckon it'll go tonight?

I've put 2-2 in the BBC Predictor and tbh will take the draw. One of those games that'll have some 'edge' seeing as you dobbed us at The Bridge and one that could go either way.

Looks like it will be a cold, wet game too - I have a couple of friends (CFC fans) going down and they are packing Goretex. :smile:

May the best team win and I hope it doesn't come down to some crappy official's decision!

Seems to be the way of the (football) world sadly.

Cracking buy for WHUFC though. He lacks a bit of finesse but he's a big, powerful guy who can run at defences and who can really hit a ball.

Yeah, I saw him in the West Ham v Hull game in December and thought he looked decent. No Payet of course, but hopefully he won't go on strike.

Difficult to call. Given our current form it could be embarrassing but then again if Coutinho and Lallana come flying out of the blocks, it could be largely over before Chelsea are awake. Would like a win, a draw means our title hopes are well over (such that they were, I think it's mainly a media thing, top 4 would be a result for us) and would rather not have an embarrassing scoreline defeat.

Strange all the fixtures on $ky Sports favourite day, deadline day. I hate Football at the moment - hate BFS even more.

I don't write much on this thread for obvious reasons but it has to be said that the Chelsea 'fans' last night impressed by just how unimpressive they were. We've seen some good fan displays this season - Leicester being notable in how good they were - but last night's was noticeably woeful. A greying mass of apathy, really who clearly don't know what to do unless there's someone orchestrating them. And their orchestrator mustn't have been there last night. Of the fan-dancers, West Ham and Spurs are always entertaining but Chelsea are clearly followed by the worst sort of hangers-on. That's all.

Stamford Bridge was always a lifeless place, as was Highbury. Of the London clubs West Ham and Spurs were the places you got a real atmosphere.

The Premier league outpriced my wage bracket a while ago. I should imagine the influx of day trippers on a weekly basis who can afford 150-300 squids for a day out has an affect on most clubs ability to attract the people who created the atmospheres that most of us grew up with.
