Kante doesn't play "that" position. He has always played with a DM at Chelsea.

Don't disagree, but it happens at every ground across the country, so if we want to ban people for hurling non racist, non bigoted, non discriminatory abuse then a LOT of people are going to get banned. A lot.

Well, if that is enough reason to suspend someone (presuming there was no racial slurs) then I'll look forward to watching games with some very empty stadia.

Where I sit in the East Stand, I get a good view of the away end at SB. It never ceases to amaze me at the anger and bile directed at ours players* taking a corner in that part of the ground, and the look of pure anger and hatred in the faces of those standing there**, even when it is a fairly inoffensive character taking said corner. *this is true of any player, from Dennis Wise or SFL to Zola, Hazard, Willian or Malouda. The race or nationality of the player is completely irrelevant, they all get the same abhorrent treatment. ** this is equally true of our fans away from home too, I am not exonerating us

Interesting, thanks,

I dont really get this part.......Tammy wouldnt have played a single minute up to now, and playing against awful opposition in a dead rubber wouldn't really show aything

A bit of me wants Liverpool to stay in the competition to try and derail the PL charge.....if they fall into the EL, they will stick all their eggs into the PL basket.

I don't know but you would think there is a time window........I doubt you could just revisit a project 5 years later and start building.

Maybe try and get Moses in the shop window.......talk that that Palace and Fulham are interested. Would be a nice start to the window in January.

If that is true, he sounds like a double agent doing a hatchet job on behalf of our rivals.

It is an opinion. You diagree with it. You can't have a discussion when one side is that arrogant to state I am wrong and you are right, so I'll just duck out after this one. Your comments on the Huddersfield game are just odd IMO. The penalty was crystal clear (was our second goal in the first half btw) but somewhow winning 3-0 is "fortunate"? They had one shot on target.... how lucky were we??? Imagine if it had gone in. Imagine if every shot the opposition has goes in? Meanwhile, the mighty Arsenal destroyed this Huddersfield team 1-0 at home at the weekend, so that's good for them. You must be a very miserable soul, that even after beating arguably the best team the PL has ever seen in a game most expect us to lose, you just want to nitpick and say how poor and lucky we have been. Don't worry, with any luck we'll lose to Brighton and Leicester and you can have a very Merry Xmas as we sit in 5th and you can sit back and tell everyone how very clever you are. Enjoy!

Which of the many games could we "easily have lost or drawn?" Huddersfield 0-3. No Arsenal 3-2. Maybe Newcastle 1-2. No Bournemouth 2-0 . Maybe Cardiff 4-1. No Arsenal game was certainly 50/50, a draw probably fair. The Bournemouth game we weren't brilliant, Ake missed a good chance for them. The other victories were all a case of the better team deservedly winning. To say we took "all our chances" is simply wrong. Newcastle for example, the opposite was true. They took their one, which should have been a free kick to us. Then comes West Ham away - probably a fair result, ditto Liverpool at home, then a 3-0 win at Southampton. Not much to see here. The Wolves game was different as we didn't take our chances, they took their 2, and the ref missed the clearest penalty for us you are ever ever likely to see. We then conceded and collapsed thereafter, which was a big difference to the earlier games like; conceding twice to Arsenal but recovered and hit back. We conceded to Newcastle, hit back, conceded first to Cardiff, hit back Burnely away, Palace at home, no real debate. That leaves United at home, bit lucky with late equaliser, but a draw probably fair - they had 2 shots all game If you look at the balance of the games we've played, I reckon we have got a fair return of points. If you say some of the early games were lucky wins, you can also say we could have beaten Liverpool at home, we should have had penalties against Everton, Wolves and Spurs...........Yup, I reckon we are about right.

Ham - how about hompphobic abuse? How about the entire away end singing "Chelsea rent boys".........did I miss that report on Sky?

Fair point. We got marked down!

Liverpool beat Bournemouth, Spurs beat Leicester, and Man United beat bottom club Fulham, and they all get ranked "A" for the weekend. Chelsea beat the best team in the league, keeping a clean sheet in the process, in a game nobody thought we could win........... B+
