Post Match Chelsea 5 Leicester 2

[FryattFox]

No, not at all. He wanted to show his appreciation to the away fans and gave credit to Danns. The guy really cannot win with some people. I had an argument with the twat sat behind me on Sunday because every time one of our midfielders booted the ball into no-mans land, he blamed Beckford for not being there.

Fair enough.

I'm a big supporter of Beckford and hardly fall into the 'some people' category; I just felt as though Chelsea were clearly quite vulnerable at the back and felt that if they had actually thought that we thought we had a chance of getting back into the match then it may have been a different game.

I don't care how good the support was; if it had been another top club scoring to pull it back to 3-1 then I am sure that they would have grabbed the ball and sprinted back to the half way line.

we only lost because StLedger went to the races

Did he take Bamba and Morgan with him? It would explain where the defenders were whilst Chelsea were scoring their goals.

He scored against one of the best teams in the country, and possibly Europe, in the club's biggest game for years. I can understand why he was pleased with himself and gave the fans something to celebrate for a few minutes.

Yawn...

Are people actually complaining that Beckford celebrated with the fans...really?

Yes

Get with the programme

And I saw him having a drink at one point during the game. Why couldn't he wait until full time ?

The money he's on he could afford as much Lucozade Sport as he wants, without having a free drink at our expense

Modern footballers just take the piss

You are not being thick, it is.

He was loving his goal.

But he could've got on with the game a bit quicker.

I think it summed up our approach to the game that we were happy to score as opposed to actually thinking that we had a chance.

I don't think it was a troll, I think it was someone preparing to post some spam.

Would have made a nice change from tripe.....

Dear Lord, I can't believe people get annoyed that a striker celebrated scoring perhaps one of the biggest goals of his career. In fact he barely celebrated his part in it and heaped all the praise on Danns. It's not as if he went and did 5 laps of honour round the pitch, shedding items of clothing on his way round. Get real!

it is not impossible to score two goals in 13 minutes, plus the additional stoppage time. In fact 3 goals were scored in the last 5 minutes (albeit 2 of them were by the opposition) so there was absolutely no need to try and restart the game as quickly as possible.

He absolutely should have got the game started straight away, you know, like Kasper did against Forest.

I stand by my point, even if no-one else agrees.

The fact that no other players other than Danns ran over to celebrate the team scoring one of the biggest goals of their careers suggests that they either thought it wasn't worth celebrating or wanted to get on with the game.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't!

 

[Thrax]

No.

Mills shat on Top's driving seat while Beckford laid a log in the glove box.

I'm suprised it did'nt go over
