BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Fulham vs ChelseaFulham host Chelsea in the West London derby.Both teams deservedly won their opening fixtures; Fulham winning 1-0 away to struggling Portsmouth whilst Chelsea eventually triumphed 2-1 against Phil Brown's Hull. A Clint Dempsey double denied the Blues all three points in December but a 3-1 hammering at Stamford Bridge under the guidance of Guus Hiddink saw the Blues go one goal up with just 51 seconds on the clock. A repeat performance would certainly put Chelsea in a favourable early position in the Premier League.Match chat here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I was in Brighton last year getting updates on my phone, '2-2 Dempsey 90' ruined the day big style. They play a decent style of football and that might help us a bit. They have come an extremely long way in the last 18 months. Comfortable win i feel however, we need to get good early points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'm pretty confident we can go there and beat them, we're the better team and have developed a nice habit of scoring twice in matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 This game gets interesting now as we've won both our first 2 games, a 3rd win in a row would be a tremendous start and a real base to build on. I feel as though we should win, decent slick surface, they pass the ball around well and it should be a good game. Can't wait til sunday now, just can't wait.

EskWeston 696 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Fulham are a decent side now, but i am still confident of us going there and getting a good result. The players are working hard and playing well, and with the quality of players we have we can go there and do the biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaChick 430 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 After our last two matches im pretty confident about this game. Fulham are a good side but our team is stronger. I hope anelka and drogba play up front from the start. Does anyone know if this match going to be on sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFear 23 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Something tells me its gonna be Drogs n Danny up front for his game. Seems to me like Don Carletto is trying out all his players bar the regulars (Cech, Ash, Terry, Lampsy, Ess n Drogs) in a rotation basis to find who is the best probably... !!
