I'll take things Cobain won't ever say for $100

Dreadful

[Wabaloolah]

Batter them? Did you see their finishing tonight?

don't think they've battered anyone this season either

[Wabaloolah]

Wanted them in the semis or Fulham to get them, I think they would have gone out to either. They'll massively raise their game for the final - they'll have too much for Boro at home.

Our injury issues at the minute would make it tougher but Fulham is the tougher tie right now anyway.

why do you always say this? At the moment Chelsea don't look like they are capable of raising their game under one of the most overrated managers that there has ever been

[Red Beret]

If this is the best Chelsea can muster against a championship side missing a dozen players, they shouldn't be taking the second leg for granted.

Of course, they would play like lions against us though.

[PeterTheRed ...]

I can't see them getting past 'Boro. This Chelsea team is fundamentally flawed. They have no real setup, no style of play, no rhytm. I haven't seen a more unbalanced expensive team ever, and I am watching football for 50 years ...

[1892tillforever]

It should be a very easy Chelsea win but they're well capable of embarrassing themselves.

Yep.

They should get through in the second leg but again, they have the ability to screw it up.

[Red Beret]

Will 'Boro have any of their missing players back? I'm not saying they'll be "stronger" as such, but they only need a bit of cohesion and Chelsea couldn't hit a barn door right now.

PREMIER LEAGUE

FRIDAY 12TH JANUARY

Burnley V Luton Town 19:45 TNT SPORTS

Just saw that this fixture was arranged with 5 days notice.

When the TV selection were made, it was scheduled for Monday 15th but caveated due to FA Cup replays. As Luton are involved in a replay it has moved from Monday to Friday.

Disgusting really when it could've just been put on Friday to start with.

[newterp]

oohhhh relegation 6 pointer

Let's go LUTON!

^ Some good match ups this weekend

[newterp]

Holy crap - I'm rooting for....Saudi Arabia, Manchester United and Everton??

Oh look - is that a horseman of the Apocalypse I see over there?

[Gili Gulu]

Great start to the game, definitely not going to be cagey

[disgraced cake]

The results in Sunday's matches will mean very little (you'd like to think). All about that game on Saturday evening. If Newcastle can win it it just makes the second half of this season even more enticing.

[Elzar]

Savage just said the difference for him was they had a goalscorer in Dugarry. He only scored 5 goals

[Bennett]

Savage just said the difference for him was they had a goalscorer in Dugarry. He only scored 5 goals

They won 4 games on the bounce in April 2003 and he scored in all of them.

[andy07]

Anyone else persisted with this dire offering from deepest East Lancs?  Imagine paying to watch this.

[smicer07]

Trafford has been spending too much time around Pickford. Time wasting from the word go.

[Chakan]

This will be given as a foul.

[Dim Glas]

cannot believe that goal stood for Luton

[gazzalfc]

Clear foul. Keeper goes down too easy but his path was blocked

[tonysleft]

That's a foul, he clearly moves into him

[Chakan]

This will be given as a foul.

Shows what I know.

I have no idea how that stood.

[Elzar]

Fair enough, he phrased it terribly

[Hazell]

cannot believe that goal stood for Luton

Is this good or bad for Everton, the absolute c*nts?

[In the Name of Klopp]

That was a foul, surely.

[Caligula?]

That's a foul all day long. Why didn't he even go to the monitor?

[red mongoose]

That's insane. What the fuck are they thinking?

[Gazza-LFC]

That has to be a foul for me! You'd be screaming if that was on Allison and not given as a foul.

[Gili Gulu]

The Luton player clearly steps into the goalie. Definite foul for me.

[Dim Glas]

Shows what I know.

I have no idea how that stood.

shouldn’t have done. A clear foul, he just backed right into the goalie to block him.

[tonysleft]

Wow, how the fuck have they given that. That's absolutely a foul.

[Elzar]

He clearly obstructed the goalkeeper.

[smicer07]

Wow clear foul on the keeper for me.

[spartan2785]

That is atrocious, you see the player deliberately look at the goal keeper before he body checks him, it's clearly a deliberate block, just awful. 

[newterp]

Hahahahaha one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

Should go into the corruption thread.

[AllyouneedisRush]

Thought Trafford ran into him....  Adebeyo just stood his ground... looked bad, but a goal for me.

[smicer07]

Striker had a good look at the keeper then blocked him off

[Caligula?]

On a side note Burnley are dire, they've created barely anything at home against Luton

[tonysleft]

No way, the guy has looked up and made sure he blocked the keeper, even moved towards him. I'd be fuming
