Next up Chelsea at home, 11th March 3pm

[Matt]

Is Top going to be 'flying in to monitor crowd reaction'?

 

I'm smirking at security that'll be in place around the pitch already  

[The Doctor]

lose without a fight, "oh what do you expect, it's Chelsea and we were in league one 15 years ago". Rinse and repeat until we're back in league one

I think it's Brendan Nout's birthday next Saturday...

[Edingleyfox]

Just hope we don’t spend all week worrying about the opposition or playing to a plan that stifles any imagination . Somehow need to play without fear and with a bit of pace we know Chelsea are vulnerable this year.

This and let’s give little Wes the reception he deserves. 

[ClaphamFox]

Potter got a stay of execution yesterday but he remains a dead man walking. We will beat them next weekend and it will probably be his last game in charge of Chelsea.

I'm just hoping that the beloved fancam focuses on two supporters who look all smiley and lovely, who then proceed to throw willy puller signs when they see themselves on the big screen. That'll cheer me up.

 

I'm also very much looking forward to the instructions on how to use the honesty flags, and the warning to ensure I'm not hit by a t-shirt being launched into the crowd at half-time, when as ever I will be sipping on an over-priced luke warm bovril.

 

Not to mention the friggin football. 

 

Still looking forward to it, because basically I'm an idiot. It's the hope that kills you.

[Wymsey]

These aren't anything special; very much a work in progress, despite the obscene amount of money they have spent in January.

 

Without Silva, they seem fragile defensively.

 

Just hope we go on the front foot early and try and maintain such mentality.

 

 

[LCFC_FAN_1995]

Not won away since October in the league.

 

we might be lucky to just lose 1-0

[dylanlegend]

To be fair this is the type of game I can see us winning.

 

think we need to start Vardy and Nacho play Madders on the right where he was playing before Xmas 

[Silva Fox]

Any update on Barnes' injury? 

[lcfcsnow]

With Barnes injured and Tete off form and us snookering ourselves with no other wingers I guarantee he'll match Chelsea up in a back five and we all know how that goes.

[FoxesWalk]

I couldn’t watch the game yesterday but just watched the “highlights” 

 

The usual shite defending but it looked like we were fairly dominant and created lots of chances… Nacho should have had a few goals on his own. We had zero shots on target though, which is absolutely honking considering some of the chances. 
 

I do think we are one of the worst 3 teams in the league due to our defence, but could see us getting a point here.

Tuchels first game in charge, 3-0 win over his old team, potter sacked. 

If Carlsberg did dreams….

[Buzzell]

I’m expecting nothing but a loss. Even with Chelsea being shit we will let them play like Barcelona 08-09 side and get absolute tonked.

 

Fofana to have a blinder, Kante to score a 30 yard top bin screamer and Rodgers to happy clap the team off the pitch because they showed a little character.

[Harry96]

Fofana will have the game of his life obviously 

[phoneticerror]

Not sure I’m going to bother with this with him at the helm

[Unabomber]

I have a season ticket but prob won’t bother if Brendan is still in charge

I’m Brendan and I’m not bothered 

[An Sionnach]

Don't worry the incurable optimists will still think we can win. You know they could even be right. Predicting results this season is nearly impossible. I don't really think any team in the division is that good. Arsenal nearly slipped up against the bottom team and Man City are often vulnerable. So who knows maybe we will have a good day. However we will not be turning any corners , we could be shit the week after.

[NJFox]

Picked a heck of a first match to attend.
 

May need a good post-match pub, the way this is likely to go…

[ARTY_FOX]

Probably gonna sit this one out. It just ruins the day. The football is shit, the subs are predictable and I have to sit opposite the fraud doing a little clap as the players walk back towards the centre circle after conceding once again. 

[volpeazzurro]

For the 3rd home match in a row the club can resell our tickets. Only been to two matches this season anyway and that was probably two too many. Think I've only missed one previously for as long as I can remember. Going down and just seeing the smarmy fraudulent luminous toothed midget just makes me so angry!

 

For all the good Top's family have done for the club, it is now fast disintegrating and my feelings of some connection to it is quickly going out of the window. Vichai's dream is well and truly over and the club appears to be sinking under the stewardship of a bunch of incompetents because under Vichai or any other club chairman, I just can't see this clown of a manager still being in charge! 

.

Previously, when relegated, although it's been a blow, you just have the summer off, regroup and get back down there with hope and optimism and go again as keen as ever. It was not so this season even though we hadn't been relegated. If Rodgers is still there after the summer then I doubt we'll be renewing and the club will no doubt have thousands of happy clappy's more than willing to buy our season tickets and it just won't mean anything to them. How some people can still back Rodgers is absolutely beyond me, I think he's in my top one of despised managers ever.

[Vindaloo FOX]

3-0 Chelsea.
