Chelsea v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Ron Manager]

Men against boys.

We aimed to frustrate, they enjoyed walk in the park never having to really step it up a gear.

Not too disheartened, our midfield showed signs they can link up well, they just need to create more attacking threat now.

Chelsea are a cracking team, every player can control the ball with ease and their movement is very good. It will be between them and Manchester as to who wins the league.

Its obvious that the title will be won by either Man City or Chelsea. That is before September is finished!

Only injuries will stop this Chavski side strolling to the title. They look miles better than anyone else in the league, and that includes Citeh.

Frankly, it's obvious that Chelsea will win the title. City are often unimpressive against the kind of teams (I hate to say it, but the likes of us) which Chelsea swat away easily.

oh well only another 4 years of lamberts shite tactics

[curiousorange]

Fuck Chelsea. Fuck them right in the ear.

One day, when there's some sense back in the game and tosser clubs like these lot are playing in their own little gilded league, we'll all breathe a sigh of relief that we don't write off an entire month of fixtures. But until that day, here's a shrug of the shoulders.

Expected, and frankly couldn't care less. Game out the way. We are not in the same division as Chelsea realistically. The cartel at the top won't be breached unless things change massively, so these games are like the bonus round, you know we will lose 95 times out of 100, but lets have a go and see if we can nick a point or two.

Beaten by one of the only 2 teams that stand a chance of winning the Premier League this season. No disgrace, move on.

Villas starting 11 today cost £14m

Chelseas starting 11 cost £190m.

[lovejoy]

Pleasantly surprised and the pragmatism on the thread today.
We go again.

Bought by....please!

But then Man City don't normally need to be that impressive against us to still walk away with a 4-0 or 5-0 win.

Just can't believe we lost this game, should have been an easy 3 points

[ozzjim]

It is a bit like Scotland at the minute, where 2 sides are just streets better than the rest, although Arsenal are a passing resemblance to decent much of the time. The rest are poor at the moment.

But they've already lost at home to Stoke and they were fortunate today. I just feel they're more likely to have one shocker every five or six games or so.

[Jon Crofts]

Commentators taking the piss about our consistent lack of goal efforts or shots on target is all getting a bit monotonous.

Monotonous it may be, but it's piss poor.
