Reminds me of a mate of mine on our first holiday abroad, Ibiza 96, met 2 young ladies, went back, and heard shouting in the other room, and like this match thread, he arrived very early, to early for the young lady anyway, she had only taken her top off, he was fully dressed!!

2-0 Chelsea. I'll start with an optimistic prediction to kick us off

 

[true99blade]

Not so sure on this one. Wilder usually gets a responses following an angry post match interview, and with Fat Frank and Chelsea being a bit inconsistent...

 

[super_pig]

we'll win this .. although they only got a draw, Leicester annihilated them

 

[guancheblade]

Now Chelsea have their first win under their belt, they'll be odds on favs for this one.

Which should work in our favour.

2-2

McBurnie double
Lunny and Baldock with crossing assists with McBurnie destroying Azpi in the air.

chris wilder said some players did well against blackburn, others did not... he mentioned besic, ravel and two other guys as those who played well

hoping to see besic in this one, from the start or coming off the bench

I'm impressed he could still pull the ladies at that age

You just need to ease yourself into your surroundings.
Perhaps start with a quick rendition of the 'Vinnie Jones is illegitimate' song.
If you get away with that, let Frank have a chorus of 'shit Stevie Gerrard'
If you are still in the ground, you should be OK with 'Shoreham boys we are here' for the rest of the match.


Seriously though, take care and enjoy the game.

Windmill as many kidneys as you can before you are beaten unconscious.

 

[JackSUFC]

No reason why we can't give it a go. They've looked frail at the back so far. Leicester should've beat them and Norwich went toe-to-toe with them, so I fancy us to at least score.

 

[sufcboy95]

Darren bent on talkSPORT- “Mcburnie isn’t a goal scorer” “Sharp is their only goal threat”

 

[Woodwardfan]

I've just been looking at Chelsea's squad and last few performances.

Rookie Lampard chooses not to play Willian, Alonso ( dangerous at set-pieces and overlapping), Tomori and Giroud ( set pieces). Pedro and their best player Kante are unfit.

They no longer have a Hazard or a Costa.

They play rookies Abraham and Mount who were very little trouble to us last season.

Zouma is a disaster waiting to happen. Barkley is seriously over-rated. Kovacic and Jorginho are not incisive, more crabby Ray Wilkins types that flatter to deceive.

Azpilicueta is not in the form he used to be. Keeper and Christensen ordinary. Left back, forget his name looks o.k.

I was really looking forward to watching Wilson, Frazer, Zaha, Townsend, Vardy, Maddison and Tiellemans in the first three games. None of them did that well against our strong squad. Not bothered about any of the Chelsea team now Kante is out.

This Chelsea lot are 13th in the table and look no better than that to me. They do have a strong crowd to start with at games. Keep 'em out first 20 minutes and let them all gradually run out of steam. Bring it on!

Don't speak (northern). Jump up and clap if Chelsea score. Sit and laugh inside if United score. If asked say you are neutral and love the P.L. and from Bergen in Norway. Your own team is Rosenberg in Trondeim ( I think). Talk like a Scandinavian actor. Watch out, Chelsea's crowd are aggressive.

 

[Yank]

Fuck Chelsea. Fuck Lampard. 2-1 to the Blades.

 

[TJB.]

Our first real big away test against a side full of top quality. If they were able to sign players during the window this would be an instant write-off, in my opinion.

For some reason I've felt this is one we can win since the fixtures were first released. Not based on anything logical, I can just feel it in me watters. Let it be known that my watters are often wrong as my SkyBet record will clearly show.

We're not a gung-ho side, but we should go for this. Play with a decent mix of organisation and fearlessness and there's no reason we can't return from the big smoke without a point at least.

Let's look forward to it and hope for a result.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Melbourne blade is doing a 'likely lads" and trying to avoidi the score as I'm flying back to Oz from the US. I'll arrive 6 hours after final whistle so will rewatch whole game on Optus. Sshhh. Hope we don't lose 6-0. All notifications off. Any more tips?

 

[wavy-blade]

Lampard's pre match view on us , started it on us as before is all about cheski

 

[Blade56]

Got a reyt good feeling for this one, 3 points ‘t Blades. 0-1, 0-2 then 1-2

 

[LABlade]

Let’s give the Chavs a right ole shock tomorrow! UTB!
