The refs perpetuate it though. Multiple times our lads could've gone down in certain situations for an easy FK, where Chelsea just dropped, rolled, pirouetted on the spot or just full on dove over incoming tackles as if they were looking over a swimming pool at any given opportunity, and then holding body parts like their head or shin while rolling around - especially Felix & Cucurella - with no contact at all in many cases. The ref ate it up. If they stop giving them as free kicks the players have no incentive to dive or cheat.

Wonder if this new contract has a get out clause... for either party.

It’s manners mate, you usually kick the ball out when there’s a man down. Chelsea carried on and score from that side where JJ would’ve been. I’m not saying at all that they weren’t the better team, they clearly were and a point would’ve been incredibly lucky for Leicester, but Chelsea were poor and relied on shithousing because they didn’t have the quality to completely kill the game.

Low standards all around. Chelsea spent billions buying anyone they wanted, hoarding talent and that’s all they can muster, relying on diving at any opportunity, wasting time at every opportunity and largely being lacklustre. Second goal comes from us having a player down and they just carry on. Surrounded the ref in the first half, 5 of their players screaming at him to give a red card, spoilt brats everywhere. Referee a clown yet again for giving every single thing they asked for, missed what looked like a blatant pen for Mavididi and let Chelsea waste time as they wished, with no consequence - at least 2 of those first half 4mins of added time were taken up by Fernandez walking over to the corner flag yet he blew up on 49:04. Weak referee playing lap dog to a team of spoilt children. We were calamitous yet again, first goal is another circus act, repeatedly heading the ball back towards his own goal from Faes. Chelsea cutting through us at will, lateral movement pulling us apart and us looking completely lost and boxed in when we did somehow get control of the ball. Should’ve stayed in bed.

Nice. Been a while since the last home game... almost like there's been a significant anniversary in the time since then. Just hope the people with mobile tickets get in early, as mine hadn't updated yet today and I had to do it manually, will be long getting in if thousands of people suddenly have to figure this out at the turnstiles tomorrow if it's a wider spread problem.

Restarted the phone, it’s fine now. Just worth a quick check if you see these posts.

(Mobile) season ticket holder. Going, but the wallet app on my phone hasn’t updated my pass and the instructions don’t seem to be going anywhere. Refreshing the season pass screen changes nothing while it's only showing a ticket for the Forest match. First time I’ve had an issue, so might be worth checking yours if you see this post as to not have a situation in the queue to get in at 12:25 tomorrow afternoon.

Picture above came straight after a counter attack from one of our corners, the positions are scrambled because everyone’s just had to rush back. The space exploited for the goal was where Soumare should usually have been.

Soumare's at fault for the 1st, we just switched off and bang 1-0. I don't really know what people expect, Man U away is always a rough fixture for us, 1 win in what 20yrs? We're a newly promoted team, not established Premier League any more. We have some good players but some that are flawed and others who have glaring faults. Also missing our main goalscorer. Thought Fatawu put in a great account of himself. Find it unbelievable that Man U managed to get by without picking up any yellow cards - Dalot for 3 in the first half and the one where Casemiro just steps across to stop one of our lads on the breakaway in the second half. Very weak ref. Poor performance. We need more about us if we expect to pick points up away from home against these sides regularly.

3 times Dalot's fouled Fatawu, no card. Justin wins a corner but the lino can't see it from 10 meters away. Then the Buonanotte foul on the edge of the box, who they've clearly adapted tactics to swarm and pull back whenever possible. We haven't been great either. 1st goal completely switched off from a throw in, bang, goal. Ndidi might've done better with his chance.

Strange how the broadcasters are showing the replay of a goal 2mins ago rather than a possible foul on the edge of the box which wasn't given. Fatawu's got Dalot on toast

Liverpool great chance to win the League again.

Trincao, now there's a name I forgot

Don't even think it should've been a penalty either. Chaplin's knocked the ball out of his own control and launched himself up in the air towards Fatawu, who was coming in but the contact was initiated by both.

How's Garnacho not been booked for that?

Great goal but we got away with that big time. Ipswich weren't particularly great, we dominated early on, then we were never really in it the game til they had Phillips sent off - which should've happened in the first half after he deliberately elbowed Buonanotte in the back of the head. Bouba did fantastic work in the build up to our goal, hasn't often received praise in his years here. That moment was so important.

Our dominance seemed to subside about the time Buonanotte picked up the yellow card, lost the tenaciousness in winning the ball high up the pitch, and couldn't get out from the back anywhere near as much. Ricky also seemed to fade out of it. It's a game of many little battles, both pairs of wingers isolating their full backs. Delap giving Faes a few digs, Hutchinson vs Kristiansen... fascinating stuff. Although I think with our reliance on the wings we need more control over the middle of the pitch. Wilf is having a great game aswell.

They do, they've been near the top of the industry since the 90's. Shame their YT channel doesn't seem to catch the algorithm/people's attention, I think they make some decent content. Noticed last season when I went in to pick up an away kit, the material used in the black & teal sache was practically transparent close up and had a nasty glossyness to it, really cheap feeling... didn't help that it also stunk of some other persons BO fresh off the club shop rack either, so prompt refund. The trainingwear we get from Adidas is good, with alot of practical bases covered, but the kits have been sub par for years.

These two not particularly impressed.

Embarrassing second half, thought we were well in the game during the first, cut them open to equalise with ease and kept threatening. Came out after the break with no impetus, Buonanotte looked exhausted despite just having had a breather. Missed the 3rd goal but the first two were glaring defensive errors, and of course the mercenary of 10+ clubs Wood had to score against us. Forest back 3 built like brick shithouses. Was a kick in the teeth to concede so soon after the break, we looked daunted at having to go again. Nuno Santo teams usually so hard to break down. Thought Ricardo held up well but would worry against him up against the likes of Hudson-Odoi every week, Ricky’s such a talented player with great professionalism and mentality but the pace these Premier League teams have is immense.

Surely the best celebration to wind up their lot would be run over to the corner flag at the away end and hack at it, as it were a tree. Then howl TIMBERRRRR into the air.

We really should've beaten Palace at 2-0 up

Don't know what else you expect with half the Premier League Club owners being from The USA. It's only going one way fellas.
