Burnley Dump Out Chelsea..Good Morning Blues


It wasnt against a very strong team..It wasnt a very weakened Chelsea squad either..It was at STAMFORD BRIDGE..now that alone is reason enough to be shocked..The only unshocking thing was that Chelsea lost on penalties again..It's been six times(i guess) since Chelsea won a shootout..frankly games like this one dont need to go to the shootouts..leave aside the final whistle this one should have been over by half time..These are the sort of matches where you have everything to lose..if you win you arent going to get any praise..but if you lose you'll get loads of criticism..
Chelsea just came of a wonderful performance at the Ewood Park...looking back in form after the defeat to Roma..I thought this would be another one of those 3-0,4-0 routs...wasnt to be..This is a perfect example of hypercomplacency.. can't be anything else..and to top it of the Drogba incident..The goal he scored was quite beautiful but the celebration might cost him the next three games..but I agree with what Lampard says "It was quite human"..if the crowd were throwing dozens of coins at him, I dont see anything wrong in him throwing one back..and moreover he apologised later too...now with Anelka on this hot streak of his and Scolari continuing with a lone striker, such incidents better be avoided by Drogba..and Franco di Santo got injured in this match..for 3 weeks I think..
Dreams of the quadruple are over now..but I dont really mind that..even if Chelsea lose in the FA Cup..not a problem..just win the BPL and the UCL..I think the Premier League this season is going to be close..very close..both at the top and at the bottom too..right now theres just a 3 points seperating the bottom placed team from the top half..and that bottom placed team is the one Chelsea's facing this weekend..West Brom..now if we drop points here I'll start having serious doubts..a win..or rather, a resounding win is required..and it will come..Scolari wont allow too many slip ups..

Carling Cup-Kalou Warming Up

First of all..I did NOT see this match..and at my internet speed streaming isnt too great either..so i dont know much..as i have read Kalou was the best player of the match even though Lampard got two..I havent really like Kalou since last season..but this time he really has changed his impression..he seems so much more composed..I think if he plays like this Anelkas days in the starting line up are almost over..He scored the goal against Man Utd and that is big enough a reason for me to like him..Lampard again..he is just WOW..who calls this guy a midfielder..he's always present when there is a loose ball in the box..he pulls the strings from midfield..he scores so many goals..now what else do you want??My personal facourite Ballack played this match and won a penalty with which lampard opened the scoring..With Ballack back to his best i feel Chelsea will cope up with Deco's injury easily..Carvalho's seems to be a bigger setback..but Alex has show he can play well..4-0..in my opinion was very well deserved but Pompey's defending has been so bad..10 goals in two matches..and 6 to a team which couldnt beat Brighton..Redknapp better do something..
the other results..Arsenal won 6-0 courtsey a Vela hattrick..Liverpool just slid past crew..I cant remember them winning any game by more than a goal..in fact they havent..Man City as i said were knocked out..take that..and Spurs fianlly got a win beating in crisis Newcastle United..oh and i almost forgot..MAnchester United too won..Ronaldo scored..
