Sunderland v Chelsea

On Wednesday we welcome Chelsea to the SoL who usually bring a decent following even for night games..With Sunderland showing signs that they may have turned a corner, well at least when the ref doesn't keep sending their players off, and Chelsea riding high at the top end of the league, I'm hopeful of a good entertaining game.
If we could follow our home victory over man City with a win against Chelsea, it would be a welcome and much needed confidence booster for all concerned..
I'll be in the Victory Club before tomorrows game, and I hope that is a good omen for the match..
Ha'way the lads..

No sending off, but denied a definite penalty..

Yes well we are all used to that of course.

The most worrying thing about last night's match was the understanding that the three referees (the one with the whistle, Terry, and Lampard) had

It wasn't even discrete

That first booking we got was a shocker..Anyone could see that he had no intention of giving a yellow card until after the 20th roll across the ground and a few words in his ear from certain players..

is that how your CB stayed on for dragging down ba as he was through on goal

JFDI:- Very true mate: it is a bonus for us..

Nickalopodis:- If you are talking about the slight tug on Ba's shirt, when he acted like he had been attacked by King Kong, it probably wouldn't have been noticed by the ref if it was the other way round. The ref somehow didn't notice Fletcher being clearly fouled in the box in the 2nd half, when everybody else and their mothers did!
Apart from these odd incidents, it was a good game to watch despite getting beat, and we will hopefully get the 3 points against Spurs on Saturday..

I thought the ba one was a bigger foul then the terry one but both were concrete, hardly a slight tug mate when ba was trying to actually get his shot away, dont think he acted at all.
Only reason I thought the ref didnt give the fletcher one was because he didnt give the ba one.

The Ba one was outside the box anyway though!

Nichola doesn't seem to take facts into account, though, Whitey, so don't let those get in the way
