Not been able to watch but I said we should be beating this load of shite, and we have. 3 points in London is all that matters. Performance is secondary, we can let Unai worry about that

Yes but you just have to remember as only far back in 2017 Chelsea were league champions and we were coming 11th in the Championship.

Have to say Chelsea are better than their results of late. They have quality all over the field and will click.

Exactly, they should be battering us as a scouse once said but they've been shit for ages.. and that's why I knew we'd win. King Unai

Watching on a weak Qantas WiFi signal over the Nullarbor and nearly woke up the whole plane shouting "just shut up you stupid woman!" Several times.

Purslow must have had a good booking history!

Don’t think we played as well as we can but we won so all good. What a calendar year!

Expected a defeat and 100% glad I got it very wrong.

Great result!!

Definitely a better away performance today. Probably helped that we didn't concede within 5 minutes of kickoff.

Averaging 2 points per game having travelled to Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea in the first 6 games is really solid going. 

We've got a decent run of games coming up now. I'm excited.

MOTM is a tricky one; liked Zaniolo in the first-half particularly. Cash was brilliant too....

Konsa and Kamara were much improved and Luiz was brilliant too.

But Emi Martinez pulled off a couple of absolutely brilliant saves when it really mattered, so he gets MOTM for me.

Glad we kept a clean sheet and the defence was much improved, still a little suspect with a simple ball over the top.

The defensive cohesiveness can be improved upon and this away win is definitely something to build upon. Hopefully Konsa and Torres can form a good understanding together.

Important for Watkins to get that goal too, he played very well and was full of defensive and attacking endeavour. Great to see him pointing to the badge after he scored, that was very noticeable.

*A word on commentary, Efan Ekoku was very good but the woman he was with was a complete imbecile. Now I'm all for equal opportunity in the MEN'S game but she quite clearly didn't have a f****** clue about football and was very obviously pro-Chelsea. Every word out of her mouth was idiotic.

I Thought the linesman was man of the match.

Me too...good result under the circumstances

Ultimately we scored more than our opposition which is why we were able to win.

We scored one and they didn't score any.
