I didn't know they were playing, to be honest Best of luck to the guy, but Scolari is the future

Aye, I think most people - me included - were so frustrated is because we were expecting more samba football.

The imminent signing of Robinho will signal the end of SWP's career at Chelsea.

Gerrard over Lampard? Hell yes. Lampard rarely performs for England, and why should we care? If he isn't playing in pointless international friendlies that exist purely for revenue from merchandising and television fees, he is training with Chelsea and less likely to be injured, thus improving his fitness.

I read it and thought of King Rio in a sarcastic manner, which is as the post implies. Rio is apparently a great defender and leader.

I agree with the last bit. We weren't that bad, but we were frustrating in the final third. We've played two games, scored five, conceded nought and are top of the league. In fairness, we couldn't ask for a better platform to go on and take an early lead in the title race.

Second half was much more comfortable - we defended better and created a couple of chances, but the final ball was still lacking in quality. However, there are going to be games like this where we don't perform well, but if we can still win the match then we have another string to our bow.

Full-time. Thank fuck.

4 mins added on. Jesus christ.

Scolari looks fucking furious.

What a save by Cech!

If di Santo is on the bench, get him on! Anelka doesn't look likely to score.

Melchiott off, Camara on. They're reshuffling at the back, time to get a goal, I think.

Ash is down, Wayne is about to come on.

Was a terrific strike, couldn't have come much closer to the corner flag without conceding a throw

Poor. Very poor. Going forward there is no conviction in the final ball.

A goal for other side would make us play better. Preferably one scored by a Chelsea player.

Not racist, just intolerant of other cultures.

Corner to us, come on you Blacks!

Every time we get in a good position a shite pass fucks it up !

Thank fuck, Kalou

He was looking for the Lampard-Deco-Volley routine

Much better. Some better, quicker passing is making Wigan back-pedal.

We look a lot more comfortable on the ball, from the early signs of this second half.

I hope so. Koumas is off... they've lost their impetus from the midfield. Maybe.
