As dominant a 45 minutes of football you'll see at Stamford Bridge.
Hate to say it but Chelsea look fantastic.

16? Hmm, intriguing.

So who were the other 3 poor players then, pray tell?

Meh, not bad, not brilliant. Valencia has been the best player on the park, his crossing has been as good as I've ever seen. Nani got better as the half went on, and had a couple of decent efforts. It's a good job VDS is back to save our bacon because Evans and Brown cannot play together, VDS has rescued them a few times. Berbatov and Scholes look injured. We need more compsure in front of goal too. I think one goal will see them crumble.

Nice to see Brucey doing us a favour at the Bridge.

Another hilarious Rafa interview post match today.

Similar to the 'ref was perfect' interview only this time it was 'ask the 27,000' (over and over)!

I think Delap, Faye and Sidibe could have raised their game given the vulnerability of their opposition today.

Good win in the end. Berbatov improved in the second half, some great touches and hit the post before scoring after a great ball from Rooney, who then got a second. Mame Diouf with the third with a header over Jensen from the edge of the area.

Although Evans and Brown looked very dodgy together, having VDS back was so much more comforting for me. Whenever the defence fooked up, he was there to clear up. Carrick put in a great performance in the middle, everything we did went through him, and he made some very crucial tackles in the box.

Nice and loud "Glazer's gunna die" aired today.



I see that after their major cup final shock Leeds' season has gone t*ts up.

A desperate and under pressure manager.

Rafa cracking up II.
