Chelsea v Leicester as well as some other games.

Ridiculous that Leicester’s away kit is so similar to their home kit. At least it is not as hideous as some of the other away kits for example, Arsenal’s.

2-0
Sterling can't score today so he makes 'em.

Former Claret Rob Harker scores for promotion seeking FC Halifax vs doomed Oxford City in the National League.

Brilliant own goal.

They need Muric!!

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 1:58 pm**

Bizarre, wasn't it!

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 1:59 pm**

Why are TV Directors obsessed with showing a repeat of something when the live action is going on. BBC just missed a classic own goal because of this. SKY are even worse at it.

What a strike! Having said that I’m not seeing anything from Chelsea,

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:08 pm**

Equaliser.
2-2 well taken.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:08 pm**

cracking goal

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:08 pm**

What a goal.

Coventry v leicester semi final at Wembley would be a bit tasty ( and nasty) !!!

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:11 pm**

Why does Sterling play like

. Except against us

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:17 pm**

Shouldn't be a pen there.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:18 pm**

pen Chelsea, looks outside the box on first replay viewing

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:18 pm**

Of course it’s a red card!

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:19 pm**

A positive use of VAR there.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:19 pm**

such a dumb rule

Agreed! Commentator says "Yellow- he made a genuine attempt to get the ball"

Total rubbish!

No attempt other than to trip, outside the box.

Stirling nightmare match!

Why? He’s prevented an obvious goal scoring chance.

We can definitely get something at Chelsea after the international break, the atmosphere is getting toxic, it reminds me of when we went to West Ham and won 3-0.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:30 pm**

Some squad have Leicester. Full of premier league experience

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:31 pm**

Sterling subbed.

the rule is if it's inside the box they get the pen and it's a yellow card but because it's outside it's a red card

"Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.”

There was no way on planet earth he meant to trip him, the front of his foot just about contact Jackson.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:34 pm**

Think Poch's position will be rather precarious if Chelsea contrive to lose this.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:37 pm**

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:38 pm**

turns out Pochettino knew what he was doing after all, who'da thunk it

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:42 pm**

It’s no wonder Chelsea get to so many cup finals. How effing often do they pull out a home draw against lower league opposition?
Do they ever play outside London?

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:43 pm**

4-2 cracker.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:44 pm**

That reminded me of Paolo Wanchope's strike for Derby(?) at Old Trafford

Belter!

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:44 pm**

proper embarrassing for the Chelsea fans, 2 subs scored

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:45 pm**

Need to do all we can to frustrate Chelsea when we go there, no gifting them stupid/soft goals. Their fans will soon turn on them going off what happened today.

Incredible reaction to Sterling's free kick balloon. I never expected him to get that sort of stick.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:48 pm**

West Ham 1 Villa 0

Moyes out

the very worst of 'football fans' imho. I'm yet to see a player do well when supporters are on their back, it's literally the opposite of what they need

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:50 pm**

chelsea fans are a bunch of entitled babies.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:51 pm**

Obafemi vs Connor Roberts in 10 mins - though Roberts starts on the bench for DL.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:53 pm**

Tbf Sterling taking the penalty off Palmer when he's scored 5 out of 5 was ridiculous. Still actually booing your own player is crazy.

yep, they were a mediocre club before Roman rocked up with his money. There's not a single team in sport that 'deserves' anything, you have to put the work in and it can take seasons to get it right which makes the constant chopping and changing of managers pretty mental for most clubs. Funnily enough under Abramovich Chelsea had a lot of success doing that, rare occurrence though imho

There was no possibility to play the ball, he just tripped him.

you think he tripped him on purpose ? We won't agree

edit: the point is, if it's in the area then VAR don't give him a red, because it's outside they do

Still annoys me on Connor’s behalf that he’s gone there and isn’t starting.

Obafemi is fast!

Fully aware of the law but to be fair I’d have kept it as it was - denying a goal scoring opportunity is a Red regardless of inside or outside of box.

However, if outside the box and least there is some communpence for the offending team by losing a player otherwise their is nothing lost apart from their player getting a caution and a small chance of conceding from a free kick.

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 3:28 pm**

How many red cards at Leeds today do we reckon?

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2024 3:35 pm**

Lucky mis-kick.
