Chelsea v Everton. 16th Jan at 1500.

[peteblue]

A game of two clowns, one dressed in yellow, one dressed in black..........

 

[BigBlueConk]

Still, was odd to see Chelsea celebrating a home draw like they had won the world cup, against a team that hasnt won there since 1994.

Just saw that terry goal on tv for the first time rather than a stream, and my goodness, it's so blatant. He was never onside and stood right in full view for the lino. Just didn't have the balls to make the call

 

[Ring master]

Been an Everton fan,i dont know if to laught,scream,cry,be angry or what,they drive you absolute crazy,i wish we could be skys game of the day having won,or be 1st on MOTD for same reason etc,its good to be exciting but with us,we always know even if 2 up,and last 10mins or whatever that we are not safe,

and when we get the little luck we get [like city pen midweek],it evens itself out near enough next game,were as when we dont get something that we should get,we wait for ever for it to go our way-and invetween waiting more go against us lol

 

[savillesu11s]

everton score 3rd on 89.59,play restarts on 91.19, [ 7mins are added on spot on 90 mins],chelsea score on 97.53,play restarts on 98.58,ref blows on 99.06,plus del trys to take last chelsea player on, on 97.23 secs instead of hitting long,or passing to one of the 2 everton players to the left,gets caught,it goes to chelsea throw which ends in the end for there goal,having just watched it again,anyway,its never dull watching us [most of the time]

cheers for that, offers perspective on the "extra-extra time". There's still cause to be furious about it though - there should never have been 7 minutes in the first place.

 

[BigBlueConk]

To paraphrase RM, we can fume as much as we like, we wont get the points back.

I just hope karma pays John Terry a visit who when asked about being offside, said "I don't care".

 

[Blue 1]

Still fuming.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Lads have to get their heads up and get to Wembley.
Performance like that will be enough.
With half decent officials.

When we scored 90 minutes it was then a 1 min 20 seconds celebration until game resumed I think they add on 30 seconds for a goal so more time was added to the original call. If correct, then celebrations have cost us 4 points hence Bournemouth

 

[kithnou]

Just saw the goals. Yep.

 

[toffee matt]

Moyes on MoTD

Bed for me then

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Watching MOTD, that first goal, where is Howard going, absolute Howler.

If you come out like that better make sure it's to stop the threat.

 

[The Equaliser]

Great watch that 2nd half, but the accusations of cheating and corruption are embarrassing and sound more than a bit rawkish.

It was great to see FM jump into the crowd when he scored what he thought was the winner but it was clearly the reason that the ref added on more than the 7 minutes originally signaled. The goal was clearly offside but it seems that the lino didn't see the flick on which caused Terry to be off as he was onside when the original ball was played, or he thought that it came off an Everton player. Unlucky but that's the way it goes. We have only ourselves to blame at end of the day as we should have had the ball down near their corner flag wasting time trying to kill off the game. Instead we insisted on playing it out from the back and inviting them on to us.

Would have taken a point before the game so there is no reason to be fuming, other than we again showed our inability to defend a lead. It was Bournemouth and Stoke all over again and it was disappointing not to take the 3 points against these nouveau riche beauts.

Biggest positive for me was Mirallas back in the side and scoring a superb goal. Long may it continue. Baines and Barry looked good as well, but Stones needs to cut out the showboating which is causing him to lose possession unnecessarily.

We are where we are in the league because that's where we deserve to be. On to the next one.

 

[ToffeeMark]

Effin disgrace

 

[bluelife]

Being reminded why MOTD is such [Poor language removed] here.... Not mentioning / rightly covering the mass of wrong decisions in that game
