Isn't it annoying when teams park the BUS in front of the goal.

This trend is increasing especially at TOP 4 home games.  Newcastle frustrated Chelsea this week. The bus was parked and even when we did get past or around the BUS our attackers failed to convert.

Liverpool were frustrated by Fulham and Manure could not overcome the Villains. To be fair Aston Villa did deserve their result. Arsenal are gonners now...forgive the pun.  In fighting can be a pain in the Arse..ne. 

Players looked jaded after the international break....especially the brazillians and portugese.

If these inconsistent results continue the TOP 4 will be a good battle to the end.  Go u Chelsea Blues!!!

Hasn't he changed the way we are playing?  I'm really enjoying the more attacking style of play. Mourinho showed us how to defend. Now Felipe L Scolari is teaching us to attack.  Interestingly recent injuries are going to test our resolve.  Carvalho will be missed....Deco has the likes of Ballack, Obi Mikel and Joe Cole who can replace him.  Drogba comes back this week. Hope those nets at stoke are well anchored cos I see at least 6 goals. Of course Stoke will park the legendary Bus in front of the goal.

Ray Wilkins is an interesting choice as assistant...guess the English connection is still wanted and needed. Go on FLS....Mourinho not be forgotten.

Are Chelsea back after their 6-0 thrashing of Manchester City?  I hope so but have my doubts.  Being an amateur coach and watching the game live it was obvious that the Man City left back Garrido should be off the park after the Essien goal....if not then, then after the second goal, half-time, third goal 4th and 5th goals. So what was Sven Goran Eriksson thinking? Basically he has no balls or no brain. All the goals bar Drogba's second were created by passing through the right hand channel.  My man Mourinho would have made a substitution after the first goal.

I'm glad that Chelsea played flowing football....a sight for sore eyes.  First sixer in a long time....even the Mourinho era never produced a six pack.  Well done Grant and Ten Cate!!!  Frank Lampard was superb, so was Drogba. I'm more happy this season now that our centre back position is well backed up. Alex is looking classy alongside the ever reliable Carvalho. Please someone teach Obi Mikel to tackle...his a red card ready to happen.

Other Games:

Cesc Fabregas continues to impress me. His touches and passing are sublime. He has so much time and I am sure he'll be player of the year this season. Gerrard had a good game but I feel he is merely a motivator by driving his team...not much skill but boy can be smash a ball.

 Blackburn are starting to mature as a team.  Accepted they were lucky but you make your own luck.  Mcarthy and Santa Cruz look good. If you can have Morten Gamst on the bench you are doing well.  Haven't yet seen Rigters play but he was good in the u21 W C.
