Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Rigadon]

Are they really doing a minute applause for Di Matteo?  Really?  What a bunch of spoiled brats they really are.

[Irish villain]

We look nervy. That early goal unsettled us. Need to calm it down a bit and get back into the game.

[ozzjim]

We do actually look a pretty decent side now down't we? Lambert has a tough job in January to find players to compete/ be better than some of this side.

Who is the ref??

And Why is JG pronouncing Fernando with a silent h instead of the F??!

[olaftab]

OK these boys are going to have to deal with conceding an early goal or two in big games. This is a good test.

[Rigadon]

Another team attacks our left back.  If nothing else, we need a left back in Jan.

[Irish villain]

Lichaj is still the weak link for me. I'd try Bennet next time out.

Holman tried to thread the eye of a needle there!

During the 16th minute 5 Live spend the minute talking about what it is and RDM etc. During the 19th minute, not a word about it. Anyone surprised?

[PaulWinch again]

Lichaj terrifies me.

[Apyadg]

It shows a real lack of class for our fans to have a minute's applause for Petrov during this game.

Petrov will never know the pain, fear and uncertainty over his future that Di Matteo has.

No BBC are now fully paid members of Chavness class.

He is not a left back at all.


Now the commentator calling for a Chelsea pen!!
