It was one of those where you shudder as you see the replay. His knee was bent all over the shop.

He's having a scan on it today. Looked a bad 'un so fingers crossed for him. As a Chelsea fan the game went pretty much as expected. Knew we'd still put out a pretty strong side despite all the changes from the weekend. Very impressed how Town stuck to their principles right to the end and not simply lump balls into the channels. Those passing stats, both in number and percentage, are indeed commendable and although you're playing at a lower level, your team actually seems more advanced and proficient at this style of playing than we currently are in our own league. By that, I don't mean you've got better passers, just that the movement off the ball and anticipation of the pass seemed more 'in tune' than us. Just more fluid. Some have mentioned that we seemed to be in cruise mode for much of the game. I wouldn't go so far. Think apart from that short spell when we showed some urgency and scored, the game was highly competitive in the first half. Got a bit feisty early in the second as Luiz was moved into midfield but as the game wore on we looked more content to sit deeper and counter-attack. Thankful to see that offside flag go up. Could have ended very differently had that goal stood. Excellent atmosphere and agree, no need for drums. Trust you don't play awful tannoy music after goals either, Naff imo. Anyway, lively banter in both the ground and Merlin pre and post match. All the best for the rest of the season.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the consensus of those watching in the pub thought Mata deserved at least a yellow card for his foot-up challenge in the second half.

I don't recall that one, but I do think he was lucky not to have got a yellow for persistent fouling.

I thought that as well. High and late, and you could argue a worse challenge than Byrne was sent off for against Franchise.

Dave Clarke 5 Agreed its a bit americanised playing music when we score a goal, just let us behave like animals for 2 mins, get over the hysteria and get on with it, we dont need music to know we scored a goal!

At least Palace have a connection to the song, we've just copied them which makes it that much worse IMO
XTC or nothing.
