    I'd be pissed as hell if I were a Chelsea supporter and Lampard played 5 at the back at Stamford against us.

    West Ham's fans are some of the worst IMO and not just for thinking they're something special. They seem to have a bunch of middle-aged skinheads still living in the 70's. When we played them the season before last it was the only time I've seen someone try to crawl across the net in the Northam looking for a scrap.

    Just like to point out that some fans hate the ball being passed back...they call out for it to be dropped into the box even if there is no realistic chance of anything happening.

    They lack the patience to understand that sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards.

    I love :emoticon-0152-heart the pinging players on the bottom <laugh>

    Difference between passing backwards and sideways a while ago and for this goal ...
    previously ... safe, safe, safe, don't give me the ball, you have it
    now ... everyone looking for a route forward when they have the ball and lots of movement off the ball giving options and players WANTING the ball

    Marvellous <applause>

    People have compared yesterday's second goal to the 27-pass one against Middlesbrough, which is very appropriate. At that time, we were playing like a Premier League club in the Championship, whereas for most of the last 2 seasons we have been playing like a Championship club in the Premier League. Yesterday, at last, we looked like a Premier League team again.

    Yes we did look good for a change............We are still giving away too much possession though. Although I agree we still won. Well done the lads!!

    I think he has had much better games for us but a lot of it was down to his workrate for me. Too much walking around the pitch and some sloppy passing which didn’t help. I wanted to see a bit more fire and hunger from him, not goals.

    Each to their own i guess. He hasn’t played many games for us though, not sure if you were aware...

    Millwall fans also did that, when we played them in the Championship.
