Borini playing pretty crap.

Moses in a Chelsea top:

Just seen a fitty in the crowd with their tits out. Shame it was a man.

Ooooo close

Oh my GOD! These Hearts supporters are LOUD!

Oh yeah, what I meant by 'he could surprise people' or whatever I said; Remember when people said Marin would be no more than a squad player? Then he was in our top 3 best players during pre-season? Yeah. We shouldn't make assumptions before he's played a game for us!

I can't stand the ignorant thinking of "he came from Wigan = bad player" that some people have I'm sure he'll surprise many people. I look forward to seeing him this season. Hopefully he gets a decent amount of games.

PERFECT Kalou replacement in my opinion! Great signing (assuming he agrees terms). Remember - A great squad doesn't have 20+ world class players. It has a few world class players, some veterans, some kids with potential, and then handy guys like Moses. Good stuff.

He. Cannot. Simply. Just. Play. On. The. Wing. This is honestly so baffling. The same people crying out that we have enough strikers are saying play Sturridge on the wing? Then what happens if Sturridge is injured? Who is Torres' back-up? What if Torres gets injured instead and Sturridge plays up-front. Do we just put Ramires on the right wing again?

I just don't understand how people can say this deal is 'impossible' or could 'never happen'. Have they forgotten which club they support?

Look at the awareness for the goal at around 0:25 seconds. He and a teammate are both chasing the ball. I have no doubt that if Cavani was Torres in that situation, he would have just continued chasing the ball, been right beside his teammate, then made an awkward pass to his teammate beside him and THEN make a run into the box while the opposition all get back into position. I absolutely loved that piece of awareness, movement, whatever you want to call it, from Cavani - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txvjL6afd84

Despite our dominating of possession for parts of the game yesterday, in my opinion, it looks clear that we're going to remain a counter-attacking team - which fits Cavani perfectly. I fell in love with Cavani when we beat Napoli at home last season. His work rate, surprising pace, passion on the pitch; everything was perfect. He's a real team player, too. I highly doubt we'll get him at this point, but I really would love him here.

Still very glad we won this game. I don't think people realise, or maybe they forget; but promoted teams are usually difficult. Although they'll likely be nervous, they want to make a good first impression in the Premier League and keep morale high after their promotion. They play with confidence. Just see Southampton - Manchester City. This was never supposed to be an easy game. Again; very glad we won.

This game was a dirty game. A real football game. Absolutely loved it.

I believe Hazard has been directly involved in 6 of our goals already (unless I've seen something wrong) - Torres vs. Manchester City. Ivanovic vs. Wigan. Lampard vs. Wigan (won the penalty.) Lampard vs. Reading (won the penalty.) Cahill vs. Reading (I think he was involved anyway.) Ivanovic vs. Reading.

Fucking hell. How many assists does Hazard have now? (including penalties + community shield.)

Comeback's like these are what makes champions. If we hang on for the 3 points, of course there's negatives, but I'll have a new found respect for a few of our players for being determined and getting us back in it.

Don't worry. It's not El Nino's fault that he missed. The sun (which isn't even out) was in his eyes x x x x x x He is our number 1 and better than Drogba xxx. Who needs Cavani or another striker? EL NINO <33333. You keep going Torres. fuk da haters.

Like everyone on here always says about Barcelona - Possession does not win games. They've taken their chances; we haven't.

We scored. We took the pressure down (as usual), and conceded (as usual). Not happy.

I didn't expect this much possession. Really want a goal or 2 though to calm my nerves.

Extremely surprised by Mata so far. Didn't think he'd be quite this good.

Hazard and Mata looking like Messi and Iniesta at times. I like.

Cech giving Reading the ball again...

Who was that with that cross-pass to the isolated and alone Ashley Cole which caused Reading to get possession? I couldn't see it well. Pixelated stream.
