Very rarely do I switch off a Chelsea game but today I have.

Dreadful performance; Leeds miles better.

I'm still in shock, I was expecting an absolute drubbing today. Times like this I don't mind being wrong ^_^

Not sure which reincarnation of Bury they are as I believe there is a Bury FC and a Bury AFC but the AFC version have progressed to the next round of the FA Cup after beating Widnes.

Don't know if this outfit plays at Gigg Lane or somewhere else.

Think yourself lucky you don't support West Ham. Third straight defeat looming and not even a goal to their name unless they perform a miracle in the few remaining minutes :sad:

Or a MUFC fan - they're in a dire state.

Today was irritating as we were really good against Spurs although we had Kante in as a DM in that match and he is always makes a big difference. In effect our best pairing (Kante & Kovacic) were both out injured and we even had to utilise an out of position player (Gallagher - who I'm not really sure if he is top drawer or not) to fudge our way through.

Plus today Mendy decides to have a brain-fart and attempts to play football on the goal-line and surprise surprise the first goal went in - and then we decided to surrender. :sad:

No excuses though, Leeds were the better team, they pressed harder, had more energy and generally seemed 'on it'.

It was an even bigger shock here - nonetheless well done to your team; they were by far the best outfit of the two today.

Your struggling, without a striker its going to be tough to beat teams like leeds

Without a striker it's tough for us to beat any team - on the other hand we haven't had a decent one for some years and still have done ok. Not won the EPL since 16/17 but, sadly, MCFC are having their moment in the sun with LFC not too far behind. Still, every dog has their day and ours may return a couple of seasons down-track once we get over the sale/purchase/embargo period of the previous few months.

This result has gone a long way to easing the memory of the 1970 FA Cup replay score,considering how many zillions Chelski have spent on players.

Keep up Postie - we are no longer Russian owned. :laugh:

Yes i was at the London Stadium today @Smokin Joe and it was terrible.
They can't seem to put any passes together and a lot of players who were good last season are having shockers.
What's happened to that fast counter attacking team?We are taking soooo long to build up.
I think it's going to be a long hard season.

I was a big fan of Drogba, so strong and scored crucial goals.

Would you take Aubameyang ? I reckon he’d do a job for you.

It started going pear shaped after Christmas. Poor league form was masked by our run in the Europa League.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Rice go before the end of this transfer window.
