Rubber bullets

Actually he said he use to support Blackburn http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1198018/Russian-Rover-Yuri-Zhirkov-stuns-Chelsea-team-mates-revealing-hes-Blackburn-fan.html

Plus when he finally was allowed on the pitch at Upton Park, he was direct and of the few who was bothered to create someone. Although I can understand that when we pay £18 million for someone who has not had much playing time, it is going to piss some people off.

Hopefully Man City will crumble from inside out following recent suspicions of dressing room tension.

Sorry, but he will have to justify that is worth the money, and to me the only way to find out is for him to take a pay cut and see how well he can player in the premier league, other wise he will be the next Shevchenko.

From what I have seen from past seasons is that many clubs that do well at the beginning tend to faulter a little bit in December, this year is no exception as both we and Manchester United have been struggling to get results. Usually extraneous variables like the Christmas holidays and weather can effect a players morale and ability due to fixture being placed all over the place around Christmas such as Boxing day, New Years eve and mid week fixtures, remember they can't really enjoy themselves too much on Christmas day as they have a fixture on Boxing day. If I remember correctly, Sven Goran eriksson said that premier league players should have of had a Christmas brake because players were not playing to their best abilities due to the above statements.

Zhirkov, we need to play him more in midfield as he provides the width and creativity we need.

From what I have seen from this match, that when you play Zhirkov on the left of the midfield, he will provide the width that we need.

Well West Ham should still be relegated, and hopefully have to go into administration, making Zola leave with his tail between his legs while West Ham no longer to exist

Chelsea squad list Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Ballack, Lampard, Malouda, Joe Cole, Drogba, Kalou. Subs: Hilario, Mikel, Zhirkov, Paulo Ferreira, Sturridge, Alex, Belletti. Hopefully Zhirkov and Sturridge will get some playing time.

My dad will be devastated if we win, West Ham will be in the relegation zone by Christmas, and usually that means a club will stay there by the end of the sean and be relegated.

After a disappointing Friday where the snow only lasted a few hours before turning into slush, its absolutly chucking a blizzard down with snow, that should mean that the snow will last long for the rest of the week. Anybody else have a snowfall and enjoying it

It would be more useful if we payed £60,000,000 for a life time supply of crumpets, good player but certainly not worth £60m.

No we must play in that strip shirt and win so it can be proven that no curse exist. You can't runaway from your fears, especially one so meaningless.

I would be glad if he got at least 10 minutes of premier league football, at the moment we need to try and play different tacts for us to be comfortably winning again.

I'm getting quite annoyed with Carlo now.

It doesn't start until a couple of month. But anyway hopefully we can beat them and lay Mourinho's ghost to rest.

It must of been very frustrating for Sturridge, I fear he may try to hard to impress everybody like in the game against Bolton, which can be dangerous.

No you have a very big pretentious ego

Yes I have heard of the nation of Islam, what I also know is that their leaders are anti-Semitic, one of their leaders (Louis Farrakhan) was quoted to calling it a ''Gutter religion''. They also believe white people were created in laboratories and often refers them to ''devils''. In fact I know Muslims who criticize it for its hatred Also the supreme alphabet is basically comes down to an individuals interpretation of letters and words, so as I am a skeptic of these sorts of things there is no need to use it.

Can anybody remember what it felt like to win?

T'HAM 1-0 CITY

Christ that was close, but shot saved by Cech, corner punched out.

Brilliant play by Alex and great finish by Anelka.

Nice paranoid conspiracy thinking. Now its not just you that I've been facing in controversial debates, but firstly you are the one who digged this whole and therefore it always seems to be that we end up having these bates, so secondly I'm going to stick to my motion that all I did was post a statement and a reason, and like the Kakuta merge issue, you blow it out of proportion.
