Full-time. Pretty much routine.

GOAL Portsmouth 1-4 West Ham

Full-time Stoke 0-1 Manchester United

Alex with a brilliant block from Robinson's shot.

Deco on for Joe Cole.

Good refereeing by Styles. Yes, I did say it. Yellow card for Ballack after he had his hair pulled by Brunt, and the German turned and pushed the Baggies player away. Good officiating.

OH MY GOD WEST HAM ARE WINNING Back to the match, the Baggies have a corner, cleared by Belletti.

Kalou and Malouda are warming up at the moment, maybe Big Phil wants to rest Joe. And as I speak, Malouda is kitted up and ready to come on for Drogba. Drog shoots straight at Carson, disappointing.

Rob Styles Strikes Back King Rob misses an obvious foul, again Lampard wasted a very good chance for 3-0.

Well let's face it - we've only got one day of training before the next game, so resting Boss is a clever tactic. I expect Lampard and Drogba to go off at some point.

True. From the fact he's been at another 3 clubs in 18 months, it shows we were lucky to get two years from him.

Belletti going forward is equally, if not more deadly than Jose Bosingwa going forward. Not only does Belletti put in the early cross, but he can also smash the ball into the top corner.

Bosingwa has gone off, to be rested I presume, unless he is injured.

Juliano is on

2-0, Lampard

Come on Chelsea! Beautiful football so far, just lacking that killer second goal. It'll come.

Ballack's been crap recently. Poor touch today so far.

Great header from Didier, by the way!

1-0, Drogba!

Deco dropped and Anelka and Drogba starting?! Scolari's got balls!

An injury free Michael Essien wouldn't be bad, mind.

Well Real has Mama Diarra as well, and apparently they have sold a lot of shirts with his name on. To counter people having to buy M. Diarra shirts instead, Real have allowed Mini Makelele to have Lass on the back of his shirt. Fair enough.

Been moved to the 1st of February for Sky.

Agreed. It wasn't a red in my eyes, but the referee is paid to represent the FA for a reason. Besides, if we appeal and its turned down, they can extend the ban, can't they?

Just what I was thinking. Besides, with JT out for the next three games due to suspension, Scolari will want all the cover he can get, especially now.
