Chelsea 3 Burnley 0

August 27 2016
Chelsea kept up their 100% start to the season with a convincing victory over the Clarets at a sweltering Stamford Bridge. Goals from Eden Hazard and Willian bookended a first half that saw Sean Dyche's men on the back foot.

Tom Heaton made two terrific saves from a rampant Hazard and a third from Diego Costa as Chelsea looked to extend their lead. |

Been fine for me though.
Well beaten, but cant really have a go as it was only to be expected, we know our limits, and they are likely to challenging for the title.
The sad thing is, we end up with a centre half and an 18 year old kid playing as our 2 central midfielders. To be fair, O'Neill looked ok.
Arfield and Boyd lack pace to be effective out wide, whole midfield was dreadful until O'Neill showed up.
Anyone think we should consider signing some new players or was this just a bad day at the office?

I love the American sense of humour.

It is sad Fred but you're being polite, if I had to say what I really think about the cretins responsible for this shambles three games into a PL season I'd get banned.
So I won't say anything, as long as no one tries to tell me we support a well run football club.

Developed in the back alleys of Colne, refined in the pubs of London and brought to the climatic, brilliant vessel you see before you in the clubs of LA. All for the edification of The Longside Lounge.
Enjoy! (pearls before swine though I sometimes think).
How many of us go shopping and spend money like there is no tomorrow ?
Suspect it might well have been a statement..
Nothing masks the lack of players who can take a man on... Arfield now avoids it all costs...
