Chelsea 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Chelsea players immediately lobbying the ref to...send Mara off I guess?...instead of showing concern for their teammate who is unconscious.

He looked fucked. 

It's a worry that he can't last an entire game. 

[Miltonaggro]

Blimey having kittens here, hold on Saints! 

[egg]

Potter looks like he's aged about 10 years. 

[Brissysaint]

Fuck you could hear that contact, ouch.

[Saint Matty 76]

Horrible that

[skintsaint]

Nasty. Will add on about 10 mins to the end as well no doubt.

[OttawaSaint]

We know how this goes, 10 mins extra and Azpilacueta's replacement bags a late leveller...

Sure is. Understandable substitution though. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

How can that be a yellow for Mara? It was a perfectly reasonable fucking shot on goal. Hope the players ok, but the lad didn’t deserve that!

[Chez]

ouch. Overheadkickedoff 

[Saint NL]

Love perrauds reaction to that block 

[The Kraken]

Dunno if Mara is lucky to stay on the pitch there, they’re not showing the replay. He absolutely nailed him.

Yeah it's nonsense. They should ban overhead kicks if they're going to say that's a yellow and properly kill the beautiful game.

Looked like the Chelsea player stooped down, I don't think Mara caught him at full standing height.

[Convict Colony]

He's been Chelseas best player today I reckon.

On another tangent good rest for our boys

No way - every right to play the ball.

[Saint NL]

Awful for the player.

But this long a break won't do saints any favours.

[skintsaint]

Hopefully causes Chelsea to break their momentum they had.

According to Paul Merson AMN has been absolutely outstanding…..

He has, again. Genuinely looks a Rolls-Royce of a centre back. 😂

Yeah I didn’t really see it but that’s what the commentator said.

[Saint_clark]

To be fair this breather probably helps our players more than it helps theirs. 

[Crab Lungs]

Hope Azpi is ok.

Referee is a massive pr1ck. He’s been all game. 
 

Bournemouth and Everton winning is a bit sh1t

[SotonianWill]

forest have scored 1-1 vs city 🤢

[Weston Super Saint]

Who needs a Shane long injury to get a gel on board when we've got Mara's acrobatics 😎

[johnnyboy]

Ouch

Not sure the game is looking beautiful from Azpilicueta's angle.

[Saint Fan CaM]

James - get your players to keep moving 

round so the muscles don’t cramp. Be a Captain.

[Saint_clark]

Forest equalise as well, if Chelsea win this from here we are properly cut adrift.

[Bad Wolf]

15 minutes stoppage time coming up...

[NewYorkSaint]

So... of the three players we were all whinging about, Ely has played a big part in our press but has - as usual - been poor with the ball. Bednarek has been strong. The defense are playing like gods.  And AMN is candidate for MoM.   Walcott has looked fantastic since coming on too. Just maybe Selles sees things in training we don't see.

Dont scud us fs

[Chez]

about 6 minutes of injury time for this incident...plus whatever else he was going to add.

[Saint_clark]

Went down in the 73rd minute, finally resume play in the 74th. Looking at over 15 minutes added time here. 

[OttawaSaint]

So the delay took about 11.5 minutes.

There's about the 4th lazy AMN mistake very lucky not to get punished, don't try and act clever

[Saint Fan CaM]

That’s about 30 minutes extra time then.

[Disco Stu]

Jack Stephens having a great game for Bournemouth.

[Saint_clark]

Have we got any more subs to make for disruption/time wasting? I've lost track of who we brought on.

[Saint NL]

So about 20 mins to go?

[RedArmy]

Is a Leeds equaliser too much to ask for? 

[Matty's Caddy]

AMN absolute liability 

[BotleySaint]

Looking at other results, we can't afford to lose here.

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off Chelsea!

[Brissysaint]

Lavia 😂 what a windup haha

[Saint_Ash]

I think the injury time will be until Chelsea score. 

[HKsaint]

AA gives a cheap free kick

I'm worried he's going to go excessive and add on 17+. It should be 13 added on. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Armstrong that is fucking braindead ffs
