Birmingham v Chelsea

MagicMarker

C'mon lads get on the ball! Does no one start match threads anymore?

Anyhoo, c'mon Birmingham!!

redout

Rank awful from Lampard there.

redout

Goal

Bollox

What a moron

MagicMarker

That should have counted, awful decision.

On a side note, can't believe Drogba just lying there!! :rolleyes:

redout

I am lost.

What the hell just happened there ?

The guy looked onside.

The Muppet

looked on to me too but pretty marginal tbh.

hard luck on brum.

Headshot

that ref is a ****ing joke

8-10

Fair play to McLeish for not going ape. Looked like a perfectly good goal. There has to be 'daylight' between the players right? He was well onside because of the outstretched leg.

redout

FFS!

The ref is on mushrooms!

No way was that a free out

The bloody linesman even gave it to Birmingham.

mayordenis

shambles of officiation thus far

redout

What a free-kick

Absolute cracker off the bar.

That thing just cannoned back into play.

Headshot

what a shot

bar has to be bent after that

MagicMarker

That was some freekick!! :eek:

MUSEIST

should be 2-1 to chelsea at this stage but as usual we are not taling our chances.

redout

The distance on that. The ball practically came all the way back to were Alex took it from!

Beasty

Definitely onside - can't believe that idiot Joe Royle did not spot it. He was behind Drogba's foot, but more importantly he was at least 2 feet behind the ball

MUSEIST

sturridge :eek::eek: what a miss

leninbenjamin

Some awful refereeing in this game, the goal decision not incuded! Even Mike Rikey seemed slightly exasperated at some of the decisions.

Only saw the last 20 mins of the half, but going on that Brum are looking good to get a result. Having said that, Sturridge is looking good and could be the difference.

doc_17

Stick Matt Holland in the idiots column with Joe Royle for saying it was offside. Would have been brilliant if the goal had stood if only to teach drogba that lying down isn't always a good idea!

DazMarz

Awful officiating here. Birmingham had two perfectly good goal chances ruled offside.

Cracker of a game all the same. Good football from both sides.

I know there's only 45 mins gone, but Joe Hart for Man Of The Match! The saves that lad has pulled off in the first half alone! Cech, watch and fúcking learn!:D

MUSEIST

Why do football fans and pundits have selective amnesia.
Just listening to sky going on and on and on and on and on .... about the off side side goal which was not offside. They said chelsea have benefited from refs decisions lately, what unbelievable sheit that is, their obviously forgeetting the 2 penalties chelsea should have had in the first half against west ham
:rolleyes:

That's twice in the last two minutes Carr couldn't control the ball inside his own box.

I know that was'nt a penalty but what i'm saying is that its not correct to saying that chelsea have been lucky with ref decisions lately.
The truth is we have had some decisions go for us but some bad ones against us tbh

ahhh

carvalho knocking over one of the west ham players during a corner, a blatant peno

ref decided to ignore it

that's lucky to me

Average-Ro

Brum aren't doing too badly, probably jinxed them now though...

ShoulderChip

very frustrating stuff from Chelsea, we need a clear out, I fear its not coming however

MagicMarker

I can sense a goal coming.

MagicMarker

Ah get up will ya.

so the 2 penalties chelsea should have had in the first half was luck.
So, by your logic chelsea were lucky to not be given 2 fair penalties in the first half v west ham.

Average-Ro

Good free by Larsson. Pity Cech was equal to it.

SimpleLogic

good man cech.

ShoulderChip

vindication for the head gear?

ShoulderChip

Is that the best we can do?
bring on Kalou I mean, seriously...

redout

What a miss from Malouda

Average-Ro

Chelsea's passing has been fairly shite.

Joe hart is having a great game

Average-Ro

Great dave from Hart.

Headshot

just a matter of time for chelsea now

Average-Ro

C'mon Larsson, well within your range.

Average-Ro

Talk about end to end....

He hasn't looked up to much, much to my Fantasy League unhappiness, since, ooo, Arsenal.

Average-Ro

Fahey on for McFadden.

ShoulderChip

Malouda has been pure muck,


Beletti is handy to have around but not creative enough going forward

Lampard is stifled at the tip.

We need to play 451

drogba up front

lamps ballack and mikel bossing midfield

speedy joe on the right and an on form malouda on the left, or on todays form throw on zhirkov (cracking in last game) or Kakuta
