Don't normally celebrate a Chelsea goal but Bet365 were offering a risk free inplay when you bet on the game prematch. £10 on Chelsea(-1) and £10 on Fabregas to score the second goal. Awful finish mind
It happened v Newcastle at theclane last Wednesday...they were 30 seconds into their minutes applause in 17th min when we scored...they were still clapping near us
Soton have signed Eljero Elia on loan. I watched him quite a bit in his Eredivisie days and thought he'd go on to bigger things, was a really tricky player with good pace and skill yet since leaving The Netherlands it seems his career somewhat stalled. If he can reach his potential then Saints have got a good player on their hands. In other news, Bolton have already made the signing of the winter, with Emile Heskey joining on a short term basis.
He's also annoyed that Saga Noren keeps getting voted as everyone's Weird Swedish Crush ahead of him...
He's such a knob. One of the least likeable sportsmen of the modern era and that's really saying something.
Borg was the more prominent, important, widely recognized and successful athlete. Not to mention being a far superior human being.
Chelsea with a disturbingly predictable 2-0 win over West Ham to start the day's football. They're a very good side, but they're almost mechanical in much of their play. All a bit reminiscent of Barca, but with a little less flair and a little more steel.
Another dive from Ivanovic though. To be fair also Valencia dived earlier just before Crosswell got booked for a foul.

Mourinho said so and the sun shine's out of his arse.
It's tick box management from Mourinho -but it works if the players are good enough. Chelsea are very good, but I question whether they would be so consistent without Terry or Matic. If both were out for any period, I don't think they would be so confident or solid. They don't have replacements who can do the same jobs. Mourinho knows they can get 2-0 up now and kill off the game. If those two were missing, they would have to push forward and might be more susceptible to the odd shock. Whilst he has his best players available, they look hard to stop.
Now Liverpool take the lead away to the team we just pipped at home and you were all satisfied with rubbish scores against the bottom clubs. If we struggle against the lowest we will get thumped in the next two games.
