Delap would be useless for Chelsea 07:34 - Dec 31 with 1911 viewsBlueNomad

He stays on his feet!

I accept we are likely to lose him at some point but I would rather he went anywhere other than there. An arrogant, self entitled, petulant team from a horrible club. Great to see their fans having an early fire drill.

If he keeps going the way he is there will be plenty more clubs than Chelsea sniffing around him.

I'm all for praising Delap, I've never seen a no.9 performance from a Town player like last night, but this is sarcasm right? He dived to win us the penalty.

A couple of Arsenal players faked head injuries to break up attacks but Chelsea took it to another level. One got a flick on the chest and went down clutching his head. Compare that with Woolfy who stopped a shot with his face and just got on with it. Refs need to wise up.

Their fans have always had a reputation for being a bunch of loud-mouth arrogant wide boys... love beating clubs like that.

Dive is harsh as there was contact. Went down easily would be fairer…and why not? We’ve been on the receiving end of it all season. About time something went our way

They also have a terrible record of progressing talent. Amazing they moved on De Bruyne, Salah, Lukaku etc. Not many players have gone there in recent years and enhanced their reputations.

Possible to earn big bucks at another big club but actually improve as a player. Cole Palmer excepted.

Nah we want him to go there because they’ll pay us about £30m more than anyone else would.

I actually feel he's too young to go to Chelsea at the moment, far too much pressure on him at a club like Chelsea. Guiu is a player with a huge future ahead of him, but like any younger he has off days and already Chelsea fans are writing him off. Clubs like Chelsea can destroy a youngster. Delap should stay at Town for a couple of seasons and then move.

"He had a right to go down."

I hate that.

It's hard to have any sympathy when you're trying to compete with a team containing Jao Felix, Cucurella and Fernandez, who could do with some acting lessons, or not as the case seems to be with refs. Charmless cheating tossers and how apt they play for Chelsea.

Saying that, I do like the Bridge :)

It's a contact sport. You can have contact and still dive. And he did, there is no argument in that regard, it's pointless.

You can argue we deserved the luck of getting it, absolutely. Also no argument whatsoever that Delap was brilliant in the game and we deserved the win.

But if there is a separate conversation to be had around diving and cheating, let's be honest about it? Managers and fans need to start being honest when it's their team, because otherwise we have no right to complain if Raul Jimenez does that against us on Saturday...and we definitely would.

No one has a right to go down. Contact is not a foul.

However, clippping a trailing foot at speed when he is at full stretch is clearly going to prevent him from maintaining his balance. It was a pen.

If Town stay up, yes. He won't fancy a season in the Championship & if we go down, the right move for him would be to a middling PL club.

If he stays with us and KM stays too, then who knows what levels they will get to between them. They are perfect for one another right now, professionally.

I could see Newcastle coming in for him eventually. They have a long tradition of big bustling centre-forwards in the mould of Milburn, MacDonald and Shearer

Sorry, that's the most gullible thing I've ever read.

You sound like someone who has no understanding of what it is like to be clippe at full stretch. Have you played?
