    hmmm 2-1 Chelsea I reckon, Anelka to get the two ;)

    I see they're wearing the new strip, doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.

    Doesn't really look that different to me. I reckon an easy Chelsea win today. 3-0 I reckon.

    Good chance there from Lampard. Though he might've done a bit better with it though.

    Malouda - most improved player this season ? It's good to see him finally fulfill his potential.

    Potential here for a hammering


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Should be about 4-0 up at this point, got unlucky with the frame of the goal a few times.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Oh so unlucky, Malouda again, good ball by Didier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Man, if I was Benni McCarthy I'd be livid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,524 ✭✭✭joe123


    Lampard as captain and drogba up front. I need returns for my fantasy football!

    Arron Doran..."Republic of Ireland youth international". He looks like hes just turned 12.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Whats Sams logic is starting a defender up front when he has a good striker available? Madness

    Simple - he's nothing more than a horrible long ball merchant, hence the 'target man' up front.

    Thought as much, not gonna really work with Alex and Terry as center halfs though :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    Hah all laughs and smiles at the Bridge today. What were the chelsea fans singing to Guus, I couldn't make it out. Nice to see the Big Boss enjoying the game also :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    "There's only one Guus Hiddink"


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭V9


    True that, true that, really wish he would stay :(

    Nice goal by Anelka, Drogba did well.

    I'd watch Villa often enough and I wouldn't say it was Allardyce-esque football, especially with someone like Young on the pitch.

    But you'd know better I guess.

    In all fairness McCarthy isn't fully fit, hasn't really been this season, he needs to get his act together.

    With Roberts and Santa Cruz still out injured he doesn't have many other options.

    I know he is a long ball merchant, but he has been forced this time.

    Good to see young Doran getting a run out, he looks like he has good feet.
