Chelsea champs versus Mighty Clarets

Incredible, Defour is an amazing talent. 1 red card and we turn into Brazil.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:53 pm

Knowing how football can be, I just hope we carry this on into the second half. Teams can come back, even with 10 men, so it's certainly not all over yet.

This dream I'm having, could someone give my alarm clock a nudge and wake me up.

Now half time has calmed me down a little, seeing the replay, what a superb cross from Defour for 3-0!

Video panel might have something to say hopefully.

I just cashed my bet out with PP as I don't think this will stay at 0-3 and they paid me my single to win as we are already 2 clear goals in front

, wonder if West Brom will be a sell out if we are top of the league

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:55 pm

Match abandoned. What?

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:56 pm

I would like to apologise for getting the 2-1 Burnley win scoreline wrong. I thought I was from the future but I'm just a bit confuzzled.

Svenster · Post by **Svenster** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:56 pm

From the BBC:

Burnley are in dream land, Chelsea are having an absolute nightmare.

The red card played a part in all this, but take nothing away from Burnley. They have been absolutely superb

We're top of the league as it stands.

Absolutely brilliant and whatever happens, this squad will need protecting from the rabid fools at Deadwood. Play a much weakened team and if we get beat, so what ? If we win, happy days.
Come on you Clarets, you've got half the guests in a little hotel here in St. Anton, Austria, rooting for you.

And Ashley Barnes has yet to appear to inflict more pain.
Steady now boys. Just keep the ball. Brilliant first half

spadesclaret · Post by **spadesclaret** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:57 pm

I am so nervous about the upcoming half. I feel quite jittery.

Keep it steady, lads.

COME ON BURNLEY!

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:57 pm

Such a great contrast to when City were down to ten. Defour running midfield.

He has been absolutely SUPERB! A JOY to watch.

Need game management, second half, chances will come as they can't handle big bad Sam.This might be a blessing in disguise for Conte because now Chelski will be forced into the market surely.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:58 pm

I know it's half time during the first game of the season, but for the record...

Absolutely mental.

Unprecedented.

Ridiculous.

Go for a fourth Burnley.

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 4:03 pm

Defour been outstanding, but again so as everyone else

Nothing silly now, no early goals for them

KefkaClaret · Post by **KefkaClaret** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 4:04 pm

Now I'm going to sit here nervously for 45 until we get a fourth

Decades · Post by **Decades** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 4:04 pm

Defour and Vokes have been superb!

Defour looks like a man on a mission.

Giftonsnoidea · Post by **Giftonsnoidea** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 4:05 pm

Defour is class always has been, just taken Dyche a season to realise

Cork has been outstanding

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Aug 12, 2017 4:08 pm

I agree with Murger. The job is not yet done. And as mad as it sounds, I'd still take a 3-2 win and go away with the 3 points. It would certainly be 3 more than we expected.
