Closed Chelsea v West Ham

[CHOULO19 24,332]

it's boxing day.we go weird.weird results in the past.

Can't find the stats now, but I remember reading last year that we actually do better than the majority of teams on boxing day.

With Hazard out maybe scrapping a 1-0 win, with him playing easy 3-0 win.

Just get the feeling West Ham may snatch a victory in this match..if we play like we did in the 2nd half against Stoke

Hope Schurrle & Remy get a chance to play

what was wrong with the way we played the 2nd half against stoke? we have a massive fixture pile up and unlike city, we have some big and tough games, we were 1-0 up, and had control of the match at every point. i mean the best chance that stoke had was a charlie adam shot from 20 yards.

Will there any pc today?

Jose did it after the Stoke game.

[Dimitri 4]

I am not as confident mainly because of those periods of passivity in our game that most of the times lead in us conceiving one. Last year was our trademark and they seem to be coming back lately. Charlie Adam's shot still haunts me. Difficult win, I reckon.

Headline after the game.

God, I hate when we're the early game. 4:45am is brutal. The 7am games I can deal with.

Yeah, I'm in Vancouver, Canada. It's great living on the west coast, but the time zone sucks. The world revolves around eastern time zones.

LOL at those hammers lot thinking they will win at stamford bridge..I fully expect us to smash these 19th century cunts and send them back to midtable...

same eleven as in previoius game

I lived in both & I like the West The Best (I know it's from The Door's song The End). Wake up in the morning & it's on like donkey kong

I don't think they are as dismal as last year.

Their table position is good and they are not on the way down like the other early surprise team Southampton seem to be.

Last season the hammers parked twenty five buses - reminded of Proodeftiki, the team from the Piraeus suburbs.

West Ham are 4 pts above Arsenal.

Hmm, TC is missing, but these are exactly the same players who played against Stoke. I'm probably reading too much into it, though.

[Hkibou 622]

I'd like to see this team.

_____________________Courtois_____________________
_Ivanovic________Cahill_________Terry___________Luis_
______________Fabregas_____Matic__________________
__Rémy_______________Oscar______________Hazard__
______________________Costa______________________

Luis instead of Azpi to have more depth.
Rémy (or Schurrle) instead of Wilian to gain in verticality, and better support for Costa for counter attacks.

The GKs train separately from the main group as do the players who didn't play.
