Blackpool manager Ian Holloway had a typically refreshing opinion on the game.

He said: 'In games like this of this magnitude when David's swinging his sling at Goliath you need him to hit him straight in the forehead and unfortunately we missed with that one, but we didn't stop swinging did we?

'They [Chelsea] can tear you inside out if you give them space in midfield, and they did that with the two goals. As Lamps said, they weren't on their game but they beat us didn't they? We'll put our sling back in the bag, buy another bag of rocks and get ready for our next challenge.'

Some stats I found a few moments ago -

Since the start of season 2009/2010 Chelsea have had the advantage of a penalty kick 20times which makes us the top of the imaginary table. Aston Villa is second (14).

At average, Didier Drogba was more on his own half with his defenders than up front. Only John Terry and David Luiz were more at the back.

Didier Drogba's passing - only 53% of his passes were successful.

What I've noticed about opposition fans is that they spend more time and energy boooooooooiing Chelsea players than cheering on their own players.

if its not JT, its Ashley or Lampard. These 3 came in for large portions of booooage last night, which is fine -it makes them play better, and Terry and Lampard scored and then celebrated in front of the baying :541: Northerners :yes: :yes:

Long trip to Blackpool and back on the coach, got home early this morning. Not the best of matches for us, but am pleased we got another 3 points which is the main thing. Chant of the match, 'We want to go home, we want to go home, Blackpools a Shithole, we cant to go home.'

Got to love Frank after scoring the penalty :D

Not the best game, but we got 3 points and that`s important. It`s not really about who scores, if we wins.

We can discuss til dom day and call each other idiots or other words, but that don`t create any positivity debate at

the forum. We all in the same boat, we love chelsea :cfc:

Daughter: Why are they booking Cole all the time? Just because he shot someone?

T9: Well, he did shoot someone

Daughter: It was an accident, not like he pointed a gun in his face

T9: still, he's a grown man, you don't do stupid things like that

Daughter: whatever. still don't understand why they're booing him. He plays for England and he's one of the best on England.

Not sure whether I should have been appalled or not by her attitude.

Yeah big point there, England is really bad at boo'ing it's players, Scholes for example was a shockery, and we still never learnt and we will go on booing the likes of Rooney when he's on the England pitch. Fair enough i don't like Wayne, but i have to respect him when he's playing for England, i hate Liverpool, but Gerrard, have to respect the man he puts 100 precent into an england match all of the time. Just think if Cole retired from England, they'd soon be gutted then.

Well they often come out with what seem the simplest things, but often overlooked truths. Mine, (aged 12), are like a knife through butter sometimes, in hindsight obvious observations, but overlooked by us :smiliecap1:
