Chelsea (a) 2017

Game has just started on Sky Sports PL. The start of a fantastic season. I remember watching this in Menorca and neutrals were amazed that I wasn’t dancing on the tables at half time. I told them there was a long way to go yet…….

They don’t know what it’s like to support Burnley ha …

I watched it in my front room but had exactly the same feeling … even with them having 10 men !

Have seen that on SKY several times and never tire of it. That was a great team-Heaton, Ward, Tarks & Mee, Lowts, Cork,Brady, Defour. These guys were playing their best football whilst at our club during that season and Chelsea were a formidable team then

It was a shock when the game wasn't selected for TV given that the league champions from the previous season are notably always on. The first time I saw a full re-run was during the pandemic when Sky showed it. Needless to say it now remains on my Sky Q box.

We really were brilliant at times that day - Defour in particular but others like Brady and JBG - but really the whole team. Just a shame that Brady free kick at the end didn't go in.
