I often have good natured football chats with a supervisor at my local Costco store, an Easter Ender who supports WHU. He believes Rio is finished as a top class Premier League player - his parting words to me yesterday were, "I hope your lot lose"!

Is that Upton Park down there in this photo?

4:20 coverage on Sky due to the delayed kick off of Chelsea game

I think they could still have cut across in time but obviously prioritise adverts, reflection and interviews over the actual games that people tune in to watch.
 
Scrub that last comment! ;)

Hopefully this will help us since we rarely show up until 5 minutes after kick off anyway.
 
Meanwhile at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea 1-0 up - penalty)

Arsene Wenger is incensed when Gary Cahill clatters Alexis Sanchez. He exchanges words with Jose Mourinho, who tells the Gunners boss to get back to his technical area. Wenger responds by pushing Mourinho quite forcefully and the referee, Martin Atkinson, has to tell the pair to calm down. I'll be honest... The Special One looked a little intimidated when Wenger started getting angry.

"All very unseemly on the touchline at Stamford Bridge. Arsene Wenger moves and gives Jose Mourinho a very clear shove after Chelsea's manager gives his view on a foul on Alexis Sanchez.
"No love lost between the pair but let's not have fisticuffs chaps. Wenger retreated to his corner smiling, as if he had taken the first round." (Phil McNulty)

West Ham v QPR (16:20 BST)

"The last time I saw West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was a fortnight ago when he walked into the press room grinning like a Cheshire cat. You couldn't blame him: 3-1 wins over Liverpool don't come around terribly often for most managers. But after last week's narrow defeat at Manchester United, it will be interesting to see if the Hammers can build on that last home performance."

"QPR travel across the capital as the only Premier League team without a point away from home so far this season. It's early days of course, but three games on the road have all ended in defeat."

I like that line up. Some changes that seem to make good sense eg Onuha and Junior starting. Let's hope Sandro and Henry make a good 'enforcer' team.

Interesting, that looks very like the old Custom House Stadium where I used to watch speedway in the 60s, also a greyhound track. It was actually nearer to Plaistow...

The second half is back under way at the Bridge - remember this match was delayed in kicking off by 20 minutes.

All that due to some idiot letting off a flare!

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea v Arsenal (14:20 BST)

"It is understood the kick-off here has been delayed because a flare was let off near the entrances at the away section of Stamford Bridge, requiring entry into the stadium to be slowed down."
