Matchday 32

[chef]

Starting XI: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Miazga, Baba; Mikel, Fabregas; Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy; Remy

Bench: Begovic, Jake Clarke-Salter, Matic, Oscar, Traore, Pato, Falcao

Nice to see some kids in the line up.

 

[Cruyff14]

Miazga, interesting.

Where is Costa? Injured or susp?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Duckman on the bench at last and I certainly didn't expect to see Miazga in the team let alone the starting XI.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Miazga, interesting.

Where is Costa? Injured or susp?

His suspension was extended by one match.

Miazga, interesting.

1 more game suspended

 

[Cruyff14]

What did he do again? Completely forgotten.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What did he do again? Completely forgotten.

FA Cup incident with Gaz Baz. Nearly did a Suarez.

 

[Cruyff14]

Oh yeah, that.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

One advantage of no daylight savings: earlier matches!

 

[Zidane98]

apollo_creed must have never experienced such a meaningless Villa - Chelsea game. Then again I hear he's dumped both teams.

With iPhones updating automatically at 3am for daylight savings, any suggestions for the best way to set an alarm for the Liverpool Spurs game? Match starts at 2:30, but if you set it at 2:30 you'll wake up an hour early (clock rewinds at 3am), and if you set it at 3:30 you'll miss half the game because the clock would have re-set

Guess i'm using my old bedside clock...

 

[Magma]

is that kid in blue the ref today

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Why is this game being televised live in the UK? Villa are down and Chelsea playing for nothing - odd decision considering some of the three o'clock games

 

[BluesMan]

Ruben starting, night made

 

[Cruyff14]

Imagine how ****ing degrading it would be iff you're getting dropped altogether from the Villa team ala Agbonlahor.

Early game is always televised live isn't it?

And I thought you guys can't watch 3pm games at all.

Easy fix. Put your phone in flight mode. Set the date back 1 day. Job done.

 

[Cruyff14]

Villa Park is a magnificent pitch/stadium.

Will miss it, one of the best in the league without a doubt.

Yeah Saturday early game is the BT sport one. Sunday and later Saturday games (Liverpool/Spurs) are on Sky.

None of the three o'clock games are televised by law

When was the last time they were relegated? Seems ages.

 

[kreglze]

Alright boys and girls I'm here, still hyped from GC getting the chocolates and stoked the EPL is back. Too bad about the early game

 

[Art Vandelay_]

good move by Chelsea (overdue) playing the youth and lesser known players. Does make me more confident ahead of our trip to the Bridge that we may not lose this time

 

[Jatz]

Was because he was smoking on their trip to Dubai or wherever they disappeared to. Wasn't form related as such.

 

[BluesMan]

Well well well, look who it is
