it was quite nerve wracking at the end there but we held on :)

Great to hold on in the end. Absorbed a shitload of pressure in that last 10-15 mins and handled it well. Disappointing to concede the goal, which never should have been allowed anyway.

Nasri was good once again, Denilson was excellent at the start of the 2nd half. Song Was brilliant defensively but gave the ball away way to much when passing it out.

fabregas was good in glimpsed, brilliant play for the goal and looked like getting back to full fitness the more the game went on.

Arshavin was poor again but still came up with an assist.

All in all very very happy with the win, makes it 7 against Everton without loss.

Also just have to mention again how excellent Fabianski was. Didn't have much to do but when called upn pulled off some excellent saves.

Now just hope Sunderland can do us a favour.

3pts is 3 pts.

C'mon Sunderland.

Anyone know if anywhere is showing the milan derby? cant see in on espn or one

MGOMGOMOOMGOMG
Onuoha WHAT A GOALLLLL!!!
Chelsea down, conceding first goal at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 37 games!!

The Blues should be down to 10 men too, getting lucky, Sunderland great attacking opportunities...

SUNDERLANNDDDD 1-0!!!!!!!!!!

Nedum Onhoua with an absolutely astonishing goal. Picks the ball up 25 yards oput and just dances his way through the Chelsea defence and puts it past Cech.

Totally deserved lead for Sunderland have been totally the better team. Would have had at least another 2 goals if it wasn't for Petr Cech who has made some quite brilliant saves.

Chelsea should also be down to 10 mean after Ivanovic pulled down Welbeck after he would have been through on goal. How he wasn't given a red I don't know.

Yeah mate, Setanta's got the coverage starting at 6.40am. Bit of a bummer if you don't have it... If your desperate, you can get a link online, or if your awake then, I'll give you a link

Let's go Sunderland. Hope they can hold on

Gyan makes it 2-0. Nice team play

Malouda Off
Kalou On
Malouda has been good today

So good to see Chelsea's makeshift defence get ripped apart again. This almost seems to good to be true.

+1. definitely too good to be true. :lol:

AND IT'S 3.

Pathetic pass back from Cole and Welbeck gets in before Cech to make it 3-0

FT Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland\:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Brilliant performance from Sunderland fully deserved win, Chelsea were absolutely shocking.

I think this match showed just how little squad depth Chelsea have and how affected they are by a few injuries to some key players. Really puts the way Arsenal and Man Utd have dealt with injury problems into perspective and really shows just how much more depth Arsenal and United have.

+1

I still think Chelsea have the team to win it but United and Arsenal have more depth that they can rely on. Chelsea and City can struggle big time with one or two players out.

What were the odds on a 3v0 Sunderland win?

I read somewhere that it was like 650/1 or something ridiculous like that.

Chelsea imo when they have all their players fit are good enough to win the title. The problem is keeping those players fit. Today is a perfect example, they lose their 2 CB's and they have to play Paulo Ferreira at CB ffs. Whereas you look at United and Arsenal we can handle 2 CBs being out becausxe we have adequate depth. Chelsea have a great squad of about 16 players, but apart from that it is worryingly thin for them.

250/1 on Tab.

That's it. New it was something hundred and fifty:lol: Wouldn't have minded a lazy $20 on that

The MLS Cup Final has been decided. It'll be Dallas v Colorado after Dallas dispatched the Galaxy 3-0.

I remember us saying this when the squad numbers were announced before the season. Chelsea seemed to have a very small squad. Top quality but small. It might now come back to haunt them.

it wasnt 37 games, it was 37 goals without an away team scoring on the ground

Obviously not Stoke. Lol. 2-0. Looks like u failed against anti-football tactics as well. From a Rory throw nonetheless.


Bit late but anyway.

Croatia 0-0 Malta 7 mins in

Croatia well on top, horrible pitch though.

Niko Kranjcar makes it 1-0 for Croatia after 19 mins.

Picks up a loose ball 35 yards out, beats one challenge, fiores it into the far corner through a defenders legs.

And Kranjcar makes it 2-0 in the 43rd minute.

Eduardo pulls the ball back to the edge of the box for Kranjcar to smash into the top corner. His 4th goal in the last 2 games.

Kalinic makes it 3-0 in the 81st minute. Great header into the far corner after an assist from Kranjcar.
