So Villa are "a truly abysmal team"??


What a pile of shit. Villa more than matched Chelsea, and were unlucky not to nick it at the end.

Were you at the same game as me yesterday?

Seriously Gaffer, how do "match reports" like this add any value to your site? Frankly, it's embarrassing. I, as an EPL Talk reader, would find it much more interesting if they wrote about their match day experience, something you wouldn't be able to get from other sites.

Not over impressed with this report tbh.

Mate - you've made a right c*ck of yourself witht that 'report'...Maybe you damaged your brain when you banged your head? Our lot thought the Villa were one of the best PL teams we've had down here in the last 2 seasons...

You are a twat. Is this your first or second season following Chelsea? Either way fuck off, we don't want you representing us. Beware Villa, wankers like this will turn up at your place if Lerner brings you any success. Yeah, ok so Cole looks way short of the player he was at L'Arsenal but to slag a kid like Kalou off, given his improvement game on game over the last two weeks is absolute bollocks. Fair play Villa, they made a game of it. It's nice to see a side come to Chelsea and have a go, not many do these days. Noisy support as well, perhaps next year you'll take the full allocation!

Jason:


Good point. It's always interesting to get a person's opinion of a match, to see how the personal account differs from the type of match we see on live TV.



I agree that a report on the matchday experience would have been preferable, and we'll take that into consideration for future postings.



I'll be flying to England in late November for a 10-day tour, so you'll be seeing, hearing and reading what it's like to experience the Premiership from a fan's perspective at the matches.



Cheers,

The Gaffer

Total load of tosh. Considering Chelsea should have been reduced to 10 men for a pro-foul on Angel you should be grateful for a draw.

What a crap report. You don't seem to understand football let alone be able to write on an actual game. I can only assume Kelly is your sister.

Really you weren´t at the same match were you? "The goalkeeper was tentative and he was punished by Drogba"... is that how to describe bundling the keeper over with one attacker while the other tucks the ball away?


"a truly abysmal Aston Villa side" - you obviously weren´t paying attention last season then...



As for Graham Poll.. surely you´re most influential player. Even other chelski fans admit it was a penalty.



I generally have no grievance against Mourinho and his men, and would like them to achieve their potential... but look out, even "a truly abysmal Aston Villa side" held you to a draw.

Anyhoo....


Villa impressed me quite a bit, going into Chelsea and playing that well. Chelsea gave me hope that they might actually take a step back this year, despite their high level of store-bought talent.



And then I'm reminded....it's early.

I was at the game and thought that villa had the chances to win this match. Angel and Baros were bundled when they were one on one with Cech. Graham Poll was shite and wouldnt give villa anything. Shevchenko didnt impress me... I think Chelsea should look to youth players like villas Agbonlahor instead of buying aging superstars who arent up to the job!

The vitriolic posters who left four-letter words on here instead of using proper language should cut it out and have some respect for The Gaffer. You make me sick.

The Gaffer · 3 years ago

Aye, try to keep your language in order. I've already removed a few distasteful posts.


Cheers,

Appalling piece of writing...wondering if the writer's first language is English...


I also have to ask, like Jason, how do 'match reports' like this, make it onto your site...



The best thing you could do is remove it.

another chelsea fan who cant admit the fact that its HIS side that have problems, dropping points against an "abysmal" team? have a word with yourself chap

I was at the game and proud of how we battled. we also in petrov had a focul point and had many attacks a fair result imo although we had to defend in large parts. the original report was a joke
