Haha, Tommy the tactical genius and his billion quid squad get Big Sammed and torn a new one by relegation fodder. Love it. Thought they might have an outside chance winning the CL before this. Porto will be licking their lips right now. Hope West Ham finish fourth.
Big Sam will be after the England job again after this .
Whilst at Villa John ( where’s me Chelsea kit it’s presentation time ) Terry will be looking to take over from Timmy Turtle .
I love the Premiershite , it never fails to produce .

A seven goal thriller if you are a West Brom fan and a seven goal chiller for Chelsea fans. The Baggies took their chances and were well drilled and organised. Costa Pereira man-of-the match all day long. He did the lot from holding the ball, providing some deft passes and two fine goals. Why couldn’t The Baggies have played like this all season with desire and passion.
Why? Because they usually have a full team to play against?
It's simple because most people that follow football and dont support Chelsea don't like them. WBA, like most clubs in this position, will raise their game to show exactly what they are capable of with effort, its a shame for the loyal Baggies fan with regard to the other games they play against lower profile clubs , which is most of the premier league.,
‘Hey Timo, next two games are North Macedonia and West Brom at home’,
‘Walk in the park Kai, walk in the park’.
‘Walk in the park Kai, walk in the park’.
Welcome to the prem Herr Tuchel. The Allardyce magic has begun. WBA will surely build on this now!
Well done West Brom for beating 10 man Chelsea sadly i don’t think you will stay up but miracles happen
Tommy Tickles honeymoon period officially over....
To be FRANK , Tuch is certainly not the Dog s "
Lawro and David Gray are exceptional. They both managed to predict that Chelsey was going to score two goals. ??????
The discussion on grammatical correctness is somewhat misplaced. "Chelsey" is not a mistake of grammar it is a simple spelling mistake or typo - to lapse into the vernacular. The real grammatical point of contention is around the use of "was" - should it be "were" ? - in other words is / are Chelsea singular or plural - innit?
To be fair if Lawro had predicted this score before the game we would have suggested he had finally flipped.
Nobody expected this one. 2-0 was a fair prediction.
Nobody expected this one. 2-0 was a fair prediction.
sorry, who predicted ?
Lawro has predicted a Liverpool win later too. No surprise there, he genuinely hasn’t predicted a Liverpool for loss for 5 seasons now. It’s time his column was closed, it’s just a boring joke
You may have noticed that if Lawro's predictions were accurate, Liverpool would have won the league by 30 points by now. Why is he employed?
"Chelsea were" not "Chelsey was". Dear oh dear Xhani, back to school for you. Too much looking out of the window!
Lawro couldn't predict his next breath
How was that then, if had been 11 against 11 and Chelsea had lost 5-2 then they would have been schooled
Can you really be "schooled" when you're playing with 1 fewer player?
Tuchel - Fivebrom
Chelsea sent crashing. Great pretenders
Was that West Brom or Brazil
Absolutely drubbed Chelsea with amazing goals

Incorrect. The poster does not need a question mark at the end; the sentence does.
Your going to get troled if you kep this up?
Oh dear, DocuDrama. Let me help you again.
"You need to put a question mark at the end". You could even add "of your sentence".
Keep trying. Eventually you will learn how to type proper English.

No, the last sentence is an exclamation so needs an exclamation mark!
Chelsea fans picking up grammar? What's the matter? Is it because the trains are closed and you can't be racist on them anymore?

Had 3 Chelsea players in FF so yes was expecting some form of F up
I also thought West Brom would win today, can’t believe they did but I did have a weird feeling. Chelsea have been on a run but they hadn’t played good football. Was always gonna happen.
We were poor, West Brom took their chance well so fair play to them. Internationals and the red card didn’t really help things

The three England internationals in the week did not produce 10% of the entertainment in this game. Is it any wonder that Southgate gets called out for playing 2 defensive midfielders against San Marino and Albania.
Southgate's job is to win games, not to please implacable England fans. Chelsea played with 10 men for most of it, of course it was exciting. What an utterly pointless comment.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Chelsea's 14-match unbeaten run comes to an end in apocalyptic style at the Bridge. No question that West Brom deserved the win by a country mile. Chelsea conceding 5 goals at home is almost unheard of particularly from a team all but relegated.
Up Arrow if you agree West Brom are the deserved winners.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer team ????????
Fully deserved win for West Brom, even if Chelsea will claim they played a man down.
To the canny observer, Tuchel's run was good not because of the wins 6 out of 11 games but the 0 loss.
Most of the wins have been by 1 goal margin and team has never scored more than 2 goals in a match.
The delusion of grandeur was bound to end - and end it did in a big way.
Let's see the reaction, if any!

"No question that West Brom deserved the win by a country mile."
I'm no Chelsea fan, but despite playing most of the game with 10 men they still had a higher Expected Goal ratio and far more possession.

Last time they conceded 5 at home was 3-5 against Arsenal in October 2011. Long time ago. Fat Sam got a brilliant scalp.
Tuchel OUT!
Chelsea make a habit of losing to teams destined for relegation or in the bottom six. They usually make up for it in the next match!
CIF Big Sam and WB had a pile

If Big Sam had more money than man utd, then wba would win more trophies, and I would be saying, you only won more trophies because you had more money than man utd, and you'd have to admit I am right, because I am using your logic.

Of course, WBA deserved it, they were absolutely immense. At the same time, Chelsea all but collapsed in all departments. I think Tuchel underestimated them and wanted to rest too many for the Porto game.
This will be a good lesson for both the manager and the team.

Yup Michael Stipe came to a end
...from 'Welcome Tuchelsea' to the reality of what Tuchel saw: Big Sam plotted and "broke their flow": Tuchel's own words 'no flow' and at home.
Now every team will study the match and continue to break 'their flow'.

Wow! New manager bounce and honeymoon period comes to a crashing end. Biggest shock since Sheff Utds win at Old Trafford.
Tuchel out ;)
Shocking performance, the worst of the season. Not blaming Tuchel at all for this, Jorginho showed how bad he genuinely is and Silva having to give away fouls for cover. Get out Jorginho, you are not a Premier League player. West Brom played very well, some entertaining football which obviously caught our defence off guard. Shocking.
That's funny the UK media were wetting them selves when he chose Chelsea over City - dodged another bullet like Kaka. he wouldn't get in our women's team
After their charmed list of fixtures a reality check for Tuchell. Chelsea an average team, who are not really top four quality.
And I thought Big Sams teams were supposed to be boring to watch?

Nothing worth mentioning happened until Chelsea went one man down

hmmmm, then I'm guessing you'll be picking up the winnings from the betting site as I type then. Good luck with your untold riches!
And I expected the exact same score. I even walked into Coral today and made a bet. Now I'm rich.
And me.

No, DocuDrama. He didn't miss a question mark and a full stop. What does that sentence even mean? Was he pining for those things? Did he unsuccessfully aim something at them?
Do you mean that he failed to include a question mark and full stop in his sentences? If so then why not say so instead of teasing us with your ambiguous pidgin English?

Poor from of criticism. Disagree with the sentiment by all means, however, grammar and punctuation observations are the realm of the small minded. I can't help but feel that you having a small mind isn't the only area in which you are lacking.

I would have put an apostrophe at the end.
Oh dear, oh dear, Tuchelball has imploded at Stamford Bridge...This is why club managers must really hate Int'l breaks, thank you Thiago Silva!????
Assume you are aware that's the same for both teams? We had several players on international duty, including for Johnston for England, so this doesn't excuse the performance. Boing boing!
I'm no Chelsea fan, but losing your first game in 15 because your player did something daft is hardly "imploding".
Tuchelball has imploded? Is that like this seasons geigenpressing?
Defo a coupon buster - well done West Brom!
Hoping The Gunner s are firing today
5-2 to WB!
Is Lampard back as manager?

We were brilliant! Nevermind the sending off, we still were the superior team on the day. Makes up for throwing away the 3-0 lead in the home game. Love how we surprised the experts - Lawrenson needs to start believing. Let us have our day in the sun.
You did have your day in the SUN and what a bloody good day it was for all but the BIAS MEDIA will ONLY talk about how CHELSKI LOST THE GAME and not how WEST BROM WON IT..WELL DONE BAGGIES What a GAME ..WOOOOW. ??????
UP THE BROM??????

Good player that pereira. Skilful. Well done WBA. Unlucky chelsea fans. Easter weekend ruined. Ha ha. Abramovich to press the chicken switch on Tuchel and still needs a visa.
You need a comma after “letter”.
Flippin' 'eck mate, you must be 'avin' a larf (colloquial)!
True. But that wasn't a sentence, smart-arse! Just shut up please.
Several posts today DocuDrama, none of which add anything to the discussion. Please stop.
Why?
Can't say that this result has surprised me.
Following the up until now unbeaten run, the wins in the champion's League it was inevitable that a struggling side fighting for survival would turn the lads over.
A bit too confident against 'only' west Brom attitude no doubt.
Never mind, there's always the next game

But have they left it too late.

Daft from Silva and it's cost them the game. Hope people don't focus on it too much though as it'll take away from a great performance by West Brom. Think it's too little too late as far as staying up is concerned but either way it's a great performance by them
That was never a second yellow! He hardly touched him! If anything, he didn't!
Refs should be tougher and send players off more often. Would soon improve behaviour.
Even with 10 men, Chelsea had the talent to win. This is inexplicable.
Please don't tell my English teacher otherwise I'll get a detention.
You need to shut it, full stop.

What a fantastic start to the weekend's football - and there was me thinking Chelsea's problems were in attack! All credit to West Brom who were terrific. Will they be able to stay up? Maybe not. Will Chelsea make top 4? Hopefully not!
Maybe not. But we'll definitely finish above your club, buddy.
Any team will have a problem in defence if one of their defenders are sent off. It's like when people mocked Man Utd's defence against Spurs, or Southampton's against Man Utd. Did everyone forget that they were playing with fewer players?
Start? There were games on fri
Karma.
Ref, VAR robbed 2 points in the first game this season.
We might still have Slaven and be half way up the league without that.

Couldn’t agree more Dave! Still rankles to this day, typical we have our best win against Chelsea & no fans to see it. Spoke to Youssef Mulumbu after that game when my lad asked him for an autograph & I remember him shrugging & saying “ that is football” I still can’t be that philosophical 8 years on, boing boing!
Superb win for the baggies. Chelski falling apart , another sacking coming soon.
Hopefully Fat Sam
Well done Big Sam, we are going to do this West Brom we can stay up boing boing boing
8 games to go...how dare you?
Just like Chavski used to be in the 80s and 90s before they were doped by Russian money robbed from the Russian people. I imagine Chelsea will again be a yo-yo club once Abramovich goes home with his ill-gotten gains
Awwww there there ittle child WAAAAAH WAAAAAH ??????????????
Mick, to be refused top 4 by a relegated team when you spent £200 something is embarrassing.
Possibly, shows how poor Bilic was, now that a reorganised team has shown what it can do. Of course a relatively low-budget team like West Brom can't afford the massive fees & wages of the showbiz and dodgy funding teams, that's hardly rocket science. Wilder did well with Sheff Utd last season, and Dyche continues a minor miracle at Burnley, & good luck to him.
Chelsea just not up to the task after the international break.
Congratulations West Brom a well deserved result and Good luck in staying up.

This was a thoroughly entertaining match. Congratulations to both teams especially West Brom. There has been so much boring football recently from so many teams that I was starting to lose interest. I am so glad that I tuned in to this game.
Well done to West Brom, great result against that horrible little money club. Chavs will be looking for a new manager suppose

Sheffield United have had a wretched season and to go to OT and win was, for me anyway, a shock and so funny too. Both WBA and SheffU are Championship bound and credit due to both for winning those games.

Consistent non-use of punctuation. What’s wrong with that in this text message era?

Oh how the pundits must be eating their words! great advertisement for footy and why we still watch it.
Thanks to "anti-football"Big Sam who has continued to selected Pereira and others.Yokulsu is an excellent signing.The performances have steadily improved-they've deserved better results in recent matches but the run-in could be exciting-WBA really have nothing to lose anymore and all to gain.Glad everybody appreciated WBA after some dour England matches.
We were poor, West Brom took their chance well so fair play to them. Internationals and the red card didn’t really help things
A masterclass in incompetence by Tuchel from team selection through to final whistle!
Yikes! What was that Blues? Horrible defending and if you were clinical, it's a 5-5 draw! At least it's nothing worse than a loss to West Brom. At least you're not one of the big clubs about to be relegated, unlike Schalke 04, who're a separate mess altogether. Chelsea fans, you'd better hope BOTH WEST HAM AND SPURS DON'T WIN! As you guys would go from Champions League, to UEFA Conference in 6th!

Poor Performance by us no excuse for that at all! But the ref has was shambolic! he should never have a job in his life ever again.
I guess most Chelsea fans would be happy with a 7th place finish!

That Chelsea fan at the beginning getting excited about how much talent his team had on the bench. Might have been an idea to have that talent on the pitch instead. Clearly Tuchel thought West Brom would be a walkover and deserved what he got for his lack of respect. Brendan Rodgers did the same against Palace and I'm sure Mourinho has made the same mistake a few times. Play your best 11
I think Chelsea realise that Jorghino and Kovacic can’t survive without Kante and more than likely Jorghino. Will be sold along with Abraham and Emerson to buy Rice if he wants Chelsea. Chelsea need to settle quickly Silva has had the wrong impact. Should not have started.
Time to get Chelsea ladies in, at least they know how to get to the top of the league table, LOL.
