There are two rounds of fixtures this week. I've included this time the fixtures that have been called off. Unless I can be bothered I won't be updating the original post for those that are called off nearer to their kick off.

Chelsea I think will be a loss, though to be fair with the team in funny form it's not a wholly bad time to play them. However I still don't see us getting three points. Cesc returning is a massive boost, but then Chelsea have Essien back as well. RvP likes scoring against them..when we do score against them and hopefully the extra minutes under his belt will help. Diaby is back apparently too...

Wigan away is also important - no doubt to get three points after Chelsea, but also banish that insane ten minutes last year.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Good away win for W Ham, second recovery in as many games.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Can't be easy for Blackpool in another way as well. They're right in the middle of nowhere, there's no nearby stadium they can hire for the day or something, say like a London club could do.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Early goals ahoy, City 2-0 up. Could easily see them winning after their game with Everton.

 

[Greenlizard0]

2-0 United?

Sunderland are by no means a rubbish side. They pegged us back to 1-1 and beat Chelsea 0-3. Looks like United are clicking into gear now.

 

[Greenlizard0]

The quality of Spurs' squad is ridiculous. That bench...

It's ok though we have giants of the football world like Diaby.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Hmmm...you can see Defoe sort of checking the defender's position before hand. It doesn't look deliberate, and there was nothing really feisty in the game already. Very harsh.

 

[Greenlizard0]

We're going to get slaughtered.

Oh, what's that? Optimism? No thanks, not for me.

Ditto.

Ditto 2.

The odd thing is, the UTD game revealed an improvement from us.... and we were not being utterly bum rushed.

I can see it being an identical match to that, and/or Stamford Bridge earlier this year.

An early sort of out of place goal, lots of pressure by us and then a counter attacked winner from Chelsea.

 

[Greenlizard0]

8:00pm, why are we playing games on a Monday again?

 

[Greenlizard0]

Game needs a goal..

Edit- only Walcott could do that. Another 'nothing' game from him then.

 

[Greenlizard0]

I think somebody spilt their cup of tea.

 

[Greenlizard0]

My god *faints*. We've scored against Chelsea/Utd.

 

[Greenlizard0]

4-1 revenge?

 

[Greenlizard0]

3-0!!!

 

[Greenlizard0]

That's two bookings which shouldn't have been given. :/.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Van Basten Diaby on for Walcott.

 

[Greenlizard0]

What's been pleasing about today is that for once - we've so far managed to keep Drogba quiet.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Well if he is slightly injured, thank **** he's suspended for the next game anyway.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Have you say I've not seen Chelsea this bad going forward for a long time. Think their squad is finally showing its age.
