Great Chelsea result or should I say the hammers. What's Chelsea's managers name again? Who said he was the greatest?

I'd happily see Chelsea relegated or expunged from existence, well in Rafa.

I'll ignore the silly comment.

I actually don't blame Benitez. It wasn't right before he joined and as he said, the squad is too thin. Its also too small, physically. We get caught out when teams have a go, as West Ham did in the 2nd half, which was predictable. We have no-none to hold the ball upfront so it comes straight back again and the minute midfield just get brushed aside.

We scored a really good goal, but defensively, all three we conceded were shockers.

Time to regroup and start again. It appears JT and Lamps will be available after today. Even Benitez has conceded they're needed.

For next season, I'm not interested in Barcas ex-coach - I think he'll go back there anyway. I just want the special one back.

I was disappointed to see that my slightly restricted coverage didn't include the Fulham v Spurs game, but the silver lining inside that cloud is that I got to see the most amazing England rugby performance in years...

Hope you enjoyed the Rugby, but the Tottenham game is on Astro ASPP channel. Nice win and nice score if we don't conceed in last 10 mins :D Also just noticed Arsne have gone 1 down at home. Nice weekend! Even better they're now two down. Super weekend.

ps - we played shite!

Looks like it could be one of those days? Less than 25 minutes gone at Reading and they're ahead 3-2 after being 1-2 behind. 2 of their goals have been headers from corners.

Could be describing the Arsenal there Caller.

A great result for Chelsea today, they've now gone an incredible three matches without conceding a manager.
