Finally its here! Chelsea are back in the Premier League and unlike my normal pessimistic ways for once i am expecting us to win the title this season but before we think of that we have the small mind of Burnley away tonight.
A quite tipsy me went to pick my daughter up from my mums Saturday night so decided to get a taxi back home and i had a very good football chat with the driver who was a Pompey fan (where i live). Now this is very rare as most Pompey fans i come across are very bitter towards Chelsea and talk rubbish but he was very clued up. He said this game tonight will be like playing at Fratton Park when Portsmouth where in the top division, fans close to the pitch and very vocal and i agreed. But he also stated that there was 1 club who never struggled with playing in these situations and that was Chelsea!
He also said he believed the game would be a little bit like our opener against Wigan in their first ever game in the top flight, a game we deserved to lose but Crespo popped up with a last minute winner. It surprised me a fan of another club remembered such game. Cannot wait for tonight now, booked the night off work and everything for it.
CHELSEA ARE BACK!!!!!
