I am hoping Perez gets the nod over Giroud for the 70th minute sub

Further proof that when we actually want to do something, we can do it.

My Chelsea mate must have a flat battery because he's not answering my texts.

Because he has to make a sub on or around the 70th minute and Gibbs was the closest player.

Good win today! :barscarf: 8)

The window-lickers will also be happy about this win, though this Chelsea side look as bad as Villas Boas' side.

Sad to see TOF being a cúnt again by dropping Xhaka. That'll teach him for shooting from outside the box!

Scumbag Costa started early, trying to fuck with Koscielny in the early minutes; buying a foul even though he pushed our man first. I am so glad we did a job on him and shut him out for a change. Good to see Fabregas the Rat be largely anonymous too. Boo the cúnt louder!

It was hilarious to see Chelsea make such a colossal fuck-up to let Sanchez in for a rare counter-attack goal from us (remember those?). What a beautiful finish too. Less Cahill's fault IMO, more the idiot who passed to Cahill with Sanchez near him.

I was surprised we scored again so soon. Good passing move, though I was pissed off that Bellerin didn't shoot, but luckily his pass found Walcott, who put it away well. I hope that Walcott is finding his way out of his long slump.

I'm glad that Xhaka got on much, much earlier than the 70th minute. You can be sure that TOF was demanding that he never shoot again :roll: Good to hear the crowd shouting at him to 'Shoot!' :lol:

Sanchez and Ozil combined well in another great counter to score the third. I thought they were going to mess it up. Conte looked like he was about to cry. I hope they give Sanchez his £200K a week. We must keep him!

That first half performance comes close to the demolition of Manure last season. Excellent! Wished we played like that every week. Sadly, like against Manure, we took out foot off their necks in the second half. Someone please destroy this handbrake! (Augie, get your sniper... ;) )

Disappointing second half. We squandered a couple of really good chances by passing it to death, which is more typical of us. Chelsea were terrible, gifting us lots of little chances, despite illegally changing tactics and formation. What's all that about? :roll:

Bringing on Gibbs at the trademark 70 signalled the end of any more goals for us. Very disappointing not to see Perez get some minutes, especially with the game well won. TOF's Project Giroud must continue :banghead:

It's annoying that I can't even enjoy the win entirely, with the way we pass up opportunities to slaughter teams, especially against those who have slaughtered us in recent years :? We should have scored more.

:barscarf:
