    Norwich City v. Chelsea FC
    Saturday, November 21, 2015
    Stamford Bridge, London Towne, UK
    TV (US): NBCSN
    Time: 10:00 EST

    Table and League Form
    15. Norwich City (DLLLLW)
    .
    16. Chelsea (DLWLLL)

    Injuries and Suspensions
    Norwich City: OUT: Jarvis; PROBABLE: Redmond
    Chelsea: OUT: Courtois; PROBABLE: Hazard, Zouma, Falcao

    Notable
    -Chelsea blow ass right now
    -Norwich blow ass slightly less at the moment, though they still blow ass
    -Poor Cesc is losing sleep over Chelsea's form
    -Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions against Norwich City (W8 D3)
    -Chelsea have lost three league games in a row for the first time since October 1999
    -Chelsea have allowed more shots on target against them than any other team from inside the penalty area this season (49)
    -Chelsea have scored three goals direct from free kicks this season. The rest of the Premier League have scored four between them

    Liklihood of Jose Mourinho blaming the referee for Chelsea's performance
    The last time I checked the REF-O-METER, yes, the liklihood is still very high.

    Liklihood of Ivanovic playing
    100%

    Will Fabregas start?

    Beer pairing

    Well, that was a long international break. When you're losing and your team blows, these breaks take forever. Thanksgiving is right around the corner for us Yanks and now is the time to try some special beers we may not normally try throughout the rest of the year. Raise a glass and give thanks that we're not Arsenal fans.

    My wife was surprised she could talk to me last week. Guess she will realize it may not last long....

    Why couldn't the international break last longer?

    I have a bet in on Chelsea managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in this.

    If it's hard stuff you're after, I just had some cheap Buffalo Trace bourbon that didn't disappoint. Of course, after a few, it's all good anyway.

    yea personally if it's not beer, it's whisk(e)y. and buffalo trace isn't a bad pick economically.

    Good work Brock. This time of year it always warms my heart to see Celebration back on the shelves. However, desperate times call for desperate measures, so I'll be reaching deep into the cellar this weekend. Sipping a 2010 Central Waters BB barley wine at 10:00 a.m.? Hell yes, someone's got to step up to the plate this season and I'm up to the task.

    I love Central Waters anything.

    Drink up. You'll need it since we're losing this one 2-1. I'll be at the bar in NYC so a steady supply won't be a problem for me.

    I think thats been said in most of the match threads thus far. Holding off on any optimism until we actually look good while getting a few results in a row.

    I have spent several weekends either working, travelling, or both. I will be home this weekend. I just got a new TV, I have a way to watch the game, and I just want to see us win, damn it.

    the problem with Own Goal is you never know when he's going to play until he does. otherwise he's invisible.

    But he's cheap and knows how to play to the other team's faults.

    Why keep him on the bench then?

    Of all the things that needed adjusting in this team, Azpi was near the bottom of that list.

    I'm pairing this one with a glass of Pepto bismol to get in front of the stomach cramps that chelsea induce.
