BlueLion.

Good save Sorenson.

Mikel, Essien and Anelka have been a joy to watch. Terry and Alex have done nothing wrong and Terry did excellently for the goal, and Malouda took the chance brilliantly.

Lamps will step it up. Have some faith, when he's on song he's rarely praised but as soon as he makes a mistake he's lambasted left, right and centre. He scored 27 goals last season and is the world's best goalscoring midfielder - he'll come good, and he'll probably nick a goal in the second half.

Half-time.

Anelka cynically hacked down, yellow card for Etherington.

He'll be fine.

Blackpool 0-1 Fulham

Cole hits the bar

We've had 79% possession in the last five minutes.

JOHN TERRY YOU BEAUTY!

MALOUDAAAAAAAAA

Anelka's playing well, very involved at the moment and linking the play excellently. Come on son!

Another freekick. Come on Frank!

Lamps better score to make up for that I have great faith in him, come on son!

Come on Chelsea, pick it up. Complacency better not be creeping in!

Free kick in a dangerous position. Drogba territory. Well saved.

Woeful penalty, that's two he's missed in a row for Chelsea now :mellow: He's scored 27 out of 30 in the Premier League for Chelsea but that was easily the worst attempt.

Saved by Sorenson.

PENALTY TO CHELSEA.

Stoke with a good chance, Walters with a difficult lobbed volley that goes over, decent try.

Decent save by Cech.

Cole should have scored.
