1 nil to Hull

1-0 Hull 

Oh no

[Lothos]

1 each

[Galwaybhoy]

Yes.  Come on Chelsea

Nice to see Stephen Hunt giving the Chelsea crowd something to boo about. That flag proclaiming that "Money can't buy everything" was a bit pathetic given Chelsea's recent history.

You'd have to expect Shelsea to go on to win, superb free kick from Drogba. Hull goalie looking shaky from backpasses.

[Archie Mitchell]

Some finish from Drogba there. Not sure if he meant it or not.

[Galwaybhoy]

2-1.

Never thought I'd be thankful to see Drogba score.

[Carmen Stateside]

Drogba with what should be the winner.  First look thought he meant it!

Never hear of irony TAM?

Anyhow. Predictable. This game mirrored many of our home game's from last season where we absoloutely batter teams but struggle to score. I think we had 30 (!!) shots at goal today, and we end up relying on a late, late one from Drogba. The problem is- as I have been harping about- lack of width. Hull were able to keep their full backs tightly tucked on, and squeezed the space. It's no coincidence that Lampard was non-existant. Anyhow it's good to see the never-say-die spirit is still there, and Chelsea kept at it. Two points up on last year's fixture, so that's a start.


As for Hunt. The wee s***e could've and should've been sent off today. His first minute tackle on Lampard was very poor, and should've been a yellow card. He continued to throw himself about, and twice the ref ticked him for diving. Refs need to start showing yellow cards for diving, and that'll help tidy it up.

he said afterwards it was a cross

[Archie Mitchell]

Heard that, suprised that he admitted it was a cross. Andy Gray was heaping praise on him saying he meant it.

It dosen't matter what it is now, we got 2 points from it...

Generally encouragng apart from the fact that we just can't score. The ball seemed to magnetically attach to the keepers hands and we need to show some drive and create chances, which could push us over the line in the Premiership race.

I sincerely doubt it was meant as ironic.
