Let's just hope the crowd dont forget the 19 minute applause!

We probably just need to hope it isn't too much of a stuffing and that the other results go our way near the bottom

[Toronto Villa]

Shame some Holte Enders couldn't be bothered to show up.

What about people in the other stands???

Looks quite full. Guessing around 39000 in the ground

Tracked Mata there for a bit and then switched off. Half hearted, unaware and cost us a goal

Chelsea's movement is that of a Champions League team.

Added to this we have the bench of a youth team we're in a totally different league to them. Losing games to teams like Chelsea isn't going to get us relegated.

clearly offside using common sense; however, no idea with the new rules

[Rigadon]

We need to get Gabby involved a bit more.  Play him something t run on to. 

[Rigadon]

Like that (but onside)

[Mister E]

GA was not effin' offside there!!

[Chicago_Villa]

GA was not effin' offside there!!

Yes he was!

[Doorbell]

At least the lads are pressing and not just sitting back...

I think cueller is a huge loss here, we look disorganised at the back again, which hadn't been the case for a few weeks.

[Toronto Villa]

We really do have quite a small (height wise) squad. Easily bullied.

[Chicago_Villa]

3 mins to Petrov time. Let's hope this muted atmosphere explodes!

[Toronto Villa]

A goal for us in the 19th minute woud be very appropriate
