Fuzzar 1,702 Posted October 18, 2021 Lukaku hasn't netted in half a dozen games - got 0-0 written all over it 😂. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 18, 2021 The hypothesis is sound. If we did beat them then that would be a boost. It doesn't matter that it is at Stamford Bridge as we haven't won anywhere yet. It doesn't matter about Lukaku as we allowed Emmanuel Dennis to score against us. But to delve deeper into this hypothesis. Apart from a guess, a hunch or a visit to a crystal ball, where does the Norwich side of this belief gain traction? Yes LDC, I expect us to win against Chelsea. But it isn't an expectation built on anything tangible other than I am a lifelong supporter who wants us to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted October 18, 2021 Well, we did beat Man City 3-2 with a squad so threadbare McGovern probably fancied a cameo outfield! Realistically, this is a free hit, but Chelsea are not exactly firing on all cylinders at the moment. Keep it dogged, keep it tight, and it puts more and more pressure on them.

How much longer will that ManC game be relevant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we beat Man City last time, we went to Burnley with a weak team and struggled through injuries. That is not yhe case now and a win next week would really set us on a good path and give pundits something else to say about us. Tough ask, yes, but can it be done? Yes. absolutely.  I love your positivity, so to allow you to fain financially on the back of your optimism, I bet you £100 Chelsea beat us... I know you can thank me later...  Edited October 18, 2021 by Kenny Foggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can refer to a game over 2 years ago but not a season 10 years ago as you called me out on when I mentioned our league one season? Hypocrisy is alive and well I see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we go there and park the bus and stink the place out and Chelsea have an off day, we might get a point. I'd put more money on us going 10 games without a win tbh. They’ve got a champions league game on Wednesday night although unfortunately it’s against the weakest side in their group so I guess they will rotate. I always think you have half a chance of a dull 0-0 with these lunchtime kick offs. Atmosphere is often a bit flat. You never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you can thank me later... I will quite likely have a small bet on that we win. When a team is at it's lowest is when you get good odds on an unlikely victory - but it does happen sometimes.
