Ask Nick the cheerful chappy he probably started that thread too. The man's a misery and a quick look through his posts confirms this. Jesus if we were still shite he'd have long since done away with himself.
We are second, we drew and yes we didn't turn out second half but there are still only three points between us and top spot. Can say Chelsea played the harder game but we turned Southampton over.
;) message boards are for venting when City ruin your night/week/weekend. When we win/ play well I'm out/too busy to care about this forum :). These things do happen; and I don't begrudge Burnley, their fans or their manager. But Chelsea slipped up, we were 2-0 up, cruising and on the way to break a record.
Not sure you'll ever find any post from my slating Clichy though. He had a bad game in the cup and came straight back as he usually does.
Glad to see some sense being talked in the last few posts. I also agree that the players probably knew the Chelsea score. I hate the different kick off times as we never seem to take advantage (back to the year the Scum kept dropping points).
It does annoy me that Chelsea go out and find decent full backs for decent prices while we get linked with big names or pay a small fortune on someone who is half decent in the Italian league.
As a negative P.S - I've said it all year but Chelsea dont tend to drop points against 'lower teams' (sunderland aside who will probably take points off us on Thursday...). They've dropped points to us, the scum, saints, newcastle - all decent. We've lost to Stoke, West Ham and dropped points to Burnley and QPR. Chelsea also have all the big teams to come at home. We hammered the Saints and Chelsea struggled. Thats why its so frustrating that we drop these points because IMO we ARE the better team. Better team on the day (and would have proved these if zabs stayed on the pitch). But they are a well oiled machine with a deeper squad. They need an injury to Matic...
