So this is going slightly better than expected

The way this is echoing last season's game so far is a bit uncomfortable like, hope the outcome is a bit different

It still is in Pennywell apparently

The state of this man, not a grown adult surely... "Not knocking the Burnley lads , they were game. But the Sunderland youth appeared to know "exactly" what they were up to. And more importantly they seemed a tight little mob." Read more fascinating comments https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/burnley-fans-on-carley-road.1592132/page-5

Also think EH will have learned a lot from last season's game, he's not one to forget major lessons like that

I mean they scraped into the league one playoffs last year and now they're upset at being mid-table championship. Have a day off MLF

Think Man Utd are really poor in the box honestly, they had at least 3 very good chances to score prior to Chelsea getting the pen. They weren't great but a Chelsea win would have been daylight robbery

Eh? ok, I suppose honest opinions get pulled now?

Fair but is that really worthy of comment in the press when he's consistently the best player in the league over a season by a country mile the past 5 years? "Oh sorry Kevin, you were only a 8/10 today, you're slipping pal".

Also Pep "KdB not at his top level yet". Pep, no offense I quite like you but shut the fuck up mate, he's as good as there is

I think literally one person said that

Tight like, worth a Belichick challenge

When all's said and done, they deserved something, Chelsea have been fucking terrible

"The Bridge is brimming over" as Chelsea fans sing for all of 9 seconds. Someone spark this soppy cunt.

Where's Froggy with McTominay's picture this week?

McTominay, what a plank

Just had a random thought, do players define the era they play in or does the era define the players in terms of officiating... Was just thinking how Fernandes operates in just the right era for his type of player, where players scream when tackled and get soft free kicks for nowt all the time. Then thought of him trying to play in the 80s when they had Robson, Whiteside and Moses in there playing on muddy shit pitches, bloke wouldn't last 90 seconds playing back then

It was already described as tactically nuanced and cerebral at half time by dribbling Drury

Shit Bruno getting shitter by the game

Chelsea fans are such a nice classy bunch

Well done Jadon, another absolutely cracker of a performance

"a game of tactical nuance, cerebral". No mate, it was just canny shit overall, with expensive and overrated players doing very little. Sancho ffs, what a waster.

Chelsea should be 2-3 behind by now

Chelsea in the past few seasons to me are the side in the top 4-6 that are most likely to look a mess on any given day. Lots of good players, often they click, but plenty of times I see them and they're all over the place and you wonder how they spent so much and look so poor.
