lamps and anelka to score in the second half



Besides the goal, Drogba is doing awful. Missing a shitload of chances.

Epic goal from drogba



 

2-1 great goal from Drogba in the second of six minutes of injury time, what was that about?

anyway, Chelsea deserved to win, all over Hull for most of the game.



Poor showing by Chelsea. Even though they came back to win it, they lacked so much creativity in that game it almost made me cry.

I watched every single match this morning and Man City, Wigan and Fulham impressed me the most. Even though I hate to say it, Man City look very threatening and fast when on the counter attack they just didn't finish their chances. Wigan, the "to be bottom mid table club" was all over an overrated Aston Villa side that was supposed to be "revitalized" lol sorry highwaystar.

Fulham handled Pompey and usual. Portsmouth for the drop.
