That's what someone (Anita) that can cross from deep can bring to a side. Whip it in early before the defenders are set and let the forwards attack it. Highlights how much Simpson (Santon's not great at it either) is holding us back. It's actually painful to watch Simpson in the final third.

Booked my Eurostar as the times I was looking at were down to the last 10 tickets. Not been get able to get hold of my mate though, not the end of the world but I'd rather not have to go on my own.

I'm trying to work this exact route out, bit of a fuck on. Might have to go back to bruges and then on to brussels for the eurostar back to london. Train seems to take nearly 4 hours from bruges to amsterdam though.

Would love to see him back in the Premiership, got to admit. As long as it wasn't to Chelsea.

Drop Cisse/Ba for Marveaux against Everton.

Mate reckons they've got 14 'on loan'. Can imagine Championship fans and clubs will start kicking off if they start to do well.

Absolutely dying to get to Brugge.

Reo-Coker in, Cabaye out.

Still looks sluggish, needs game time. Was decent in the opening half hour but looked done around the hour mark, can't believe he wasn't brought off.

The touching the face thing is a pretty well trodden admission of lieing, non? Hopefully Pards gives Ashley a fucking rocket and it wakes the cunt up.

Blatantly a pen, he went for a grab too. Playing well but not pressuring high enough imo, allowing them too much space in the middle third.

Intredasting.

Pisstake. Ba, Cisse and Shola our only 3 recognised forwards in a season with potentially 50+ games. Really poor and a damning insight into the boardroom's ambition.

Fucking ridiculous we're going into the season with Simpson first choice. Will cost us badly over the season imho. Just have to pray we get someone in in Jan.

Honestly.

Berbatov.

Plan C - Sign Rob Hulse for £175,000 as planned all along.

Fuck sake, 3 pages since midday when I last checked and all hot air. I should know better to get hopeful tbf.

Ermahgerd 16m we should use for debuchy

We need a number 10 ideally to link things, Ben Arfa does it but not consistently in the same position or in the same way. A Rooney rather than a van Nistelrooy.

We were leggy and flat and things just didn't go our way. We weren't embarrassed by any means and had a decent amount of the play but didn't deserve anything. Recuperate and move on. Today highlighted how much we need to replace Simpson. We're a team that other teams fear now and will play a lot of football on the front foot, he's simply not cut out for it. Can't use the ball and shits himself when it comes to him. Can't cross, can't run with it, doesn't overlap effectively... He's a decent defender but we now need more than that, he sticks out like a sore thumb and is holding us back.

I'm on a 3 game unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge, fearing for my record today

Tight game, lose by a one goal margin imo.
