West Ham v Chelsea up first this weekend.

West Ham opting to try a very high three man press against Chelsea early on when Chelsea have it at the back, the rest of the time they're all sitting deep with two up top to try to counter.

One nil! Arnautuvich!

 

[Rosco]

No way it lasts

 

[FoxForceFive]

West Ham back up their good start with a goal.

Moyes has got these well drilled, I'll give him that much.

Chelsea rarely get caught out in defence when they outnumber the opposition like that.

 

[MomoWASright]

He’s the ultimate hot and cold player. Wonderful one two goal. He’ll do something equally shite this half.

 

[FoxForceFive]

No way it lasts

Agreed, so far it looks more like west ham are wide awake & up for it & Chelsea are half asleep & haven't really started playing.

 

[FoxForceFive]

If West ham get another one shortly it'll be a boss game when Chelsea chase the lead & turn the quality on.

Of course I'd prefer West ham to twat them, despite Moyes, but it's unlikely so a good game would be a bonus.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Come on West Ham

 

[MomoWASright]

Our U18s beating united 2-1 despite going down to 10 men when it was 1-0 to the scum.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Chelsea have woken up now, look much more composed.

Chelsea with much more of the ball but West ham have been resolute in defence so far. Doubt it'll last.

 

[HC]

Chelsea arent City, so hopefully it lasts this time.

Still unlikely.

G'wan Golem!

 

[FoxForceFive]

That was a fucking sublime move from the corner by Chelsea that.

If they score that it'd be one of the goals of the season.

Perfectly done.

 

[MomoWASright]

Scum equalise with 30 seconds of injury time left.

Back in the Premier League it’s going end to end now. Adrian making a few saves.

Still unlikely.

Chelsea have given West Ham two half decent chances of the counter since turning up the heat though, & if they keep doing so whilst piling men forward they could well get caught out again.

Certainly arnautuvich looks on top form today & he doesn't need asking twice when he's in this form.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Hot water bottles on the Chelsea bench?

What a bunch of fucking poofs.

 

[FoxForceFive]

West Ham still getting half chances on the break.

What a bunch of fucking poofs.

It’s embarrassing init.

 

[Rosco]

West Ham taking the piss out of Chelsea was super

 

[Fabio]

West ham really good there

Morata is never a 60m player

 

[Rosco]

Cahill with an amazingly stupid pass to Antonio

 

[Rosco]

Cristensen gets away with a handball.

Is Kante still good ?

 

[HC]

Antonio looks shagged

Hes put in a shift. The west ham tactics have been spot on so far

 

[KopRed]

The high ball rule is getting ridiculous. The ball bounced to waist height in front of a chelsea player, he tries to play it. Noble, always second to the ball, went diving in head first, didn't get the ball, but foul to the Chelsea player.

Yup , that was bullshit. He was at shin height!

Football is getting ridiculous. Give it a couple of years and heading the ball will be forbidden.

Dependant on how quickly the US studies on concussions in handegg come to a consensus you could well be right.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Morata so close there but skims the outside of the post.

After the recent studies in to dementia in footballers it really wouldn't surprise

And I'd embrace it if the link is still there in the future with the lighter balls

 

[Woland]

That's some fucking miss from Morata that. Still not convinced that he isn't a load of piss

He has moments where he looks every inch the superstar striker, then he has moments like that.

The latter are much more frequent so far.

3pm matches are a bit shite today.

May watch Spurs in the hope they lose some points.
