West Stand Lower

West Ham just missed a near open goal!!

not got a stream. listening to 909 how's things looking so far?? i'm stuck with West Ham vs Man Utd

seriously?? surely the next person to be captain has to be Essien?!?

anyone know who's starting yet??

Chelsea (from): Cech, Hilario, Belletti, Ferreira, Alex, Ben-Haim, J Cole, Essien, Sidwell, Kalou, Shevchenko, Mikel, Sinclair, Wright-Phillips, Pizarro, Ballack. i would go with a 4-3-2-1 .................Cech.................... Belletti...Alex...Essien...Beh Haim ...Sidwell...Mikel...Ballack..... SWP...........................J Cole ...............Sheva..................... Subs Hilario, Ferreria, Sinclair, Pizarro, Kalou this formation would give us width to attack Newcastle but also the depth and experience to deal with Viduka and Smith. Essien in the middle with Alex because he has played there well in the past. Ben Haim as LB as he is the only player capable of filling this role. Sidwell because his a good holding player and Ballack to boss midfield. Sheva above Kalou cos, if his going to come good.... nows the time! reckon we'll do it 3-1 Sheva J Cole Ballack

ok....lets take the positives out of this *we are only 7 points behind man utd after 19games (how many of us would of took that after jose left??) *there are still the below remaining fixtures:- Man Utd vs Arsenal Man Utd vs Liverpool Liverpool vs Arsenal (this might be the other way round.... not too sure) Chelsea vs Man Utd Chelsea vs Liverpool Chelsea vs Arsenal so with Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal still to play eachother and us at the bridge there are plenty of chances for points to be dropped *possible fixtures for missing players are only 29/12 Newcastle H (will be tough but should be 3 points) 01/01 Fulham A (derby day. all will be up for it. fulham are a falling stone of late... 3 points) 12/01 Spurs H (massive game. lots at stake. think we'll draw) 19/01 Birmingham A (formality. 3 points) 30/01 Reading H (as above. 3 points) 02/02 Pompey A (tricky. i'll sit on the fence with 1 point) 09/02 Liverpool H (massive game. be happy with a point) * Sheva looks better and better every week *its january guys.... and i can see a few new faces coming to town
