Thought you would have loved to play united ??
haha, united got what they deserved for their over confidence in under estimating west ham and god that boy named spector - got his first goal in 138 games and that had to come against his old club. Way to go man
If you look at the team we put out, it was clear we didn't really care. Let's see what West 'am can do against Berbatov, Rooney, Nani etc. And let's see them get through Vidic and Ferdinand that easily.
Still, they played very well and deserved their victory. They're still going down though.
Another two points dropped! Another feeble display! Where were the players in the second half?! All or most of them were like headless chickens and the fact that we only had two shots in the second half is pathetic! 
At this rate, we are gonna get slaughtered at White Hart Lane next week if we don't improve our performance DRASTICALLY!

Wow - I'm amazed you didn't beat Everton, I was sure you would. Seems as though the wheels are well and truly coming off at Stamford Bridge.
Or should that be 'Stamford Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down...' etc etc?
Sorry, couldn't resist!!
Regarding White Hart Lane, yep - you could be in for a hammering there - but you can never tell with London derbies (or any derby, come to that).

Neither us nor Everton are in good form. So perhaps a draw wasn't a surprise. Having said that, our poor second half contributed to the result!
While that match is a London derby, we don't have any rival history with them like Arsenal-Tottenham or West Ham-Millwall. So, it's pretty hard to say form goes out of the window for this kind of match.
And oh, have fun while you still can.

Can we see chelsea free falling the same way they did during Luiz Felipe Scolari
Maybe but the problems back then and now are totally different.
Scolari's problem to me was his inability to communicate well in English, not adaptable enough in terms of his tactics to change games when needed to and perhaps his management style is different considering he is a South American.
The current problems are deeper. Wilkins sacked and Emenalo appointed. Both decisions made without Ancelotti knowing it. Letting Ballack, Deco, Beletti and Carvalho without getting any capable replacement was a recipe for disaster. I just think maybe we should have kept Ballack for one more season. He had at least can do a decent job for the team with all the injuries and suspensions problem that we are having or had.
The only person who we replaced was Joe Cole. We bought in Benayoun but he unfortunately went out injured earlier in the season which didn't help matters one bit. We got Ramires but one can hardly expect him to easily adapt to English football in such a short time.
All in all, I just feel something is missing at the moment. It's like the spark or desire or fighting spirit is not there right now. The second half against Everton yesterday was a clear example of that. We just went AWOL and Everton were hungrier and had more desire to win.

Nasri has been in brilliant form this season; two sensational goals.

Unfortunately though, Arsenal, and more particularly the Arsenal defence, were only spared further embarrassment thanks to the colossal efforts mustered up by Nasri and Arshavin. You have to wonder how long the defensive shambles can be rescued by Nasri...
Hmmm if chelsea do keep this form running over the next 2 months, maybe they stand a chance to finish 5th . Because city have been powerful at their own backyard and manage a point away from home on an average basis . Tottenham as we all know are dangerous and on a given day , can beat anyone or lose to anyone . So this stupid BPL is in for a fascinating 2 months from now . Lets hope chelsea do provide Liverpool with some company for the next Europa League though its highly highly unlikely

As well as Fulham missing at least one golden chance to equalise.
In a way, I'm pleased our match v Blackpool was postponed - an icy, snowy pitch tends to even things out.

I believe that depends on the next few games. If Spurs hand them a real gubbing, it could well go that way.
Against the weaker sides, he can probably save Arsenal but doubt so against the big sides and Man United will surely look to exploit that next week at Old Trafford.

Are you that lonely in the Europa League till you're desperate for someone to join you there?
I wouldn't rate City as being a strong team now just yet despite where they are in the league. And I definitely agree that the way things are going this season is absolutely crazy and driving people nuts!

Well, Arsenal play at Old Trafford next where they are probably going to lose before facing Stoke City at home who are pretty tough to beat and will surely give the Gooners a hard time.
Seriously, I can't even start to think what will happen at White Hart Lane next week. It could easily be an even game, Spurs suffering a Champions League hangover or we probably getting slaughtered! It certainly wouldn't surprise me if that happens.

Leighton Baines is comfortably the best left back in the league this season. Absolutely tore Chelsea to pieces yesterday.

Chelsea can't do it, I'm sorry. But I think Arsenal can do it with a bit of unluckiness.

I'd still suck Andy Carroll off tbf.
Newcastle United sack Chris Hughton - ESPN Soccernet
The first manager casualty of the season. The decision to sack him is pathetic!
