Michael Oliver the ref - he´ll let Chelsea pick a pocket or two.

Sorry, couldn´t resist

Great tackle that

Why is Collins complaining there ...

We really are lacking that change of pace in midfield Chelsea have in bundles

Saw the replay - changed me mind - no foul

Chelsea running riot already without being that good

West Ham a bit cluess, especially Downing

Indeed, even with the practically static Fabregas.

Someone was comparing Mata favourably with Hazard on here recently as he has scored the same number of goals or something . If Mata ever has a game in which he is as influential as Hazard has been in this one I'll be amazed. If ever Stats were misleading that is the one.

Any excuse to have a pop at Mata. :shakehead:

They did last season, and Jose was not happy

Should be 3-0 this already
