The stupid twat. I'd forgotten how many needless bookings and resultant sendings off that he's had.

I can see us losing this

Oh shit

FFS!

I sometimes wonder why I put myself through this. I could do something relaxing like play with my bees.

How long before Caicedo gets sent off?

Just about anyone on here would have been happy with a point before the game. However, it feels like an opportunity missed. City have a fantastic team but they can get rattled when somebody gets on to the front foot and pushes them. Overall though, a good training outing in advance of the Wembley game.👍

Change your news source! From The Guardian:- FULL TIME: Chelsea 1-1 Newcastle (Chelsea win 4-2 on penalties) Chelsea were a couple of minutes of going out. But they’re in the semi-finals yet again! Poor Kieran Trippier. But on the balance of play overall, it’s no more than Chelsea deserve.

Four now ☹️

Hmmm. Good comebacks by Chelsea. The first penalty never was one (even over on the RefChat forum they say so). Disappointed that we didn't take 3 points but the positive is that we've stood toe to toe with the Scousers, Arse, Spuds and City and none of them have beaten us. It augurs well for the future.

I don't care about the errors and the false judgements by ref and VAR. I am just pleased to see that win. Just carry on building from this,

Wouldn't have heard a omment like this a month ago! (Not aimed at you, by the way)

No sense of urgency from Chelsea, even in the dying minutes.

Can't watch the game but pleased to see Sterling get off the mark. He didn't settle in last year; hopefully he can make amends this season.

Oh come on! Cucurella had one half decent game last year 😉 (I'm thinking of the game against Dortmund)

Campo Viejo Rioja. We're out of Italian reds at present. 😉

I certainly didn't! Home grown tomatoes 👍

Just going to open a bottle of red to go with the Chicken Cacciatore the wife has cooked for dinner👍

Actually, I'm on G & Ts having consumed a few pints watching the game🤪

Thank you 😀

Hello all. Much like JonnyCFC, am an old member who wasn't the most prolific of posters that seems to have been deleted at some stage. With the start of a new season, I decided to have a go at rejoining. I'm an old fart, having supported the team from a distance (Guernsey) since the days of Tambling, Cook, Harris, Hately, McCreadie et al. I hope that in my dotage, with more time on my hands, I'll be able to visit the Bridge on a few occasions. Anyway, acceptable result today; I'd have accepted a draw before kick-off. 😑
