The one and only bright spot of the day – our home league record is still intact. Special thanks to Petr Cech. Did we deserve to win? Did we control the game? Did we dominate the game? Were we on top of things? My dear Chelsea! We would be 10 points off the table leader if they win the game on hand and this is only September. Is this going to be a jinxed season, this one?
The Chelsea team for today’s match. I won’t be watching this match live. Gutted!!!
1 Petr Cech, 35 Juliano Belletti, 22 Tal Ben-Haim, 26 John Terry (c), 3 Ashley Cole, 10 Joe Cole, 9 Steve Sidwell, 4 Claude Makelele, 21 Salomon Kalou, 11 Didier Drogba, 7 Andriy Shevchenko. Chelsea’s subs are 23 Carlo Cudicini, 20 Paulo Ferreira, 33 Alex, 15 Florent Malouda, 14 Claudio Pizarro.

The most meaningful West London derby in many seasons. This is not the truest test for the players morale and Avram but at least this is the premier league and this is at Stamford Bridge. Being the first home match since the departure of the Special One, this would be a full house with all kinds of chants, songs and demonstrations. The incredible record of unbeatable home run is at stake and the last thing we want is this record being broken in the derby at this stage.
Finally there will be some calm until the next storm. Peace not because we won this match as we’re anyway expected to win this match even with 10 men and without a manager. The manner in which we won should make Roman and Avram really comfortable for the next few days at least – fours goals and plenty of shots on target.
I have a strange feeling ahead of this match. I want Chelsea to get eliminated in both domestic cup competitions. Given the fragilities and morale of the team, to make a serious attempt for all competitions can be quite risky. I’m ready to give Avram some time but does he have it in him to marshal the blue army in the pursuit of all competitions, in this season particularly?
