Chelsea 4-0 Norwich

Not a particularly fine performance, but enough to whip the whipping boys. First two goals came from silly giveaways from Norwich --- Duff and Lampard capitalised on each. Then Robben added another sublime goal to his rapidly growing collection. Drogba rounded it off with a header late on.

Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea

They remain third, a point behind Everton. Arse catch us cold in the 2nd minute, Terry equalises amidst abysmal marking on a corner, Henry adds his second midway through the first half through a quickly taken freekick that Chelsea fans are shredding themselves to bits over, but Guddy makes up for being inalert during the freekick by equalising at the start of the second half.

A Manure fan told me that Mourinho is "scary". Stone-cold expression, at most raising and clenching his fists when we score. Obviously excellent at man-management. Sir Les on Chelsea Chat puts it thus:

Mourinho is a fekking psycho!
Anyone seen the front-on shot of Mourinho when Terry equalized. All hell broke out around him and he did not register even a vague twitch. He just stood staring without a trace of emotion. Compare that with me who was screaming and farting simultaneously while dancing round the room with the boys spilling my tea in the process. Now I ask you - which one would you prefer as a next door neighbour when the game is on at 3am?

The Big Match

Free Live Football not working. Cracking match. Henry just missed a fantastic chance. Lampard and Robben had also missed earlier.

The commentators say "Robben" with a lively swing of anticipation.

FC Porto 2-1 Chelsea

First European defeat then. Annoyed with Mourinho for sacrificing players' welfare for his pride, and playing a first choice team. Crap performance though. Duff the scorer and the only bright spot. Porto looked toothless though, and with that 1-0 first half lead we looked to be cruising to another win and clean sheet. Drogba crashed a free header against the crossbar and kept getting caught offside. Diego equalised with a tasty volley from just outside the box. We still created good chances, which were mostly wasted by Lampard. Paid for it when McCarthy scored with a header with a few minutes left on the clock. Of no consequence to us results-wise, but must have gutted CSKA Moscow (sponsored by RA's company Sibneft), who had done brilliantly to storm into a 2 goal lead against PSG despite being a man down, with their captain Semak bagging a hat-trick, and who looked to be getting their deserved passage into the next round until McCarthy's goal.

Might be of consequence results-wise though, if fatigue comes into play against the crucial Arse match on Sunday.

Chelsea 4-0 Newcastle United

Tough first half, gave the ball away too often and easily. Guddy missed a sitter, Cech had to save well from a Robert freekick.

Second half, Drogba on for Guddy. Effective, as he headed down for Lampard to score the first, and scored the second after holding off the Newky defender. Third was (yet another) peach from Robben, who had been muted till then. Last was a penalty, which the team let Kezman take for his first Prem goal. Special mention to Duff who worked hard throughout and forced Newky to concede the penalty.
