I think it was his son anyway.

pel

Rob Lee's son coming on for West Ham.

Boooooooooooo, get me home to my cous-cous.

Torres floats it out for a goal kick. Disturbingly bad.

Chelsea are a club in turmoil. TURMOIL! This would be 1 win in 7, absolute disaster, chaos, crisis.

Win for positive thinking. Game has changed since Lambert came on. Why on earth he was on the bench is beyond me. Scored the first goal and is generally occupying the defenders a lot more. First half Southampton were very poor and frankly negative (Chelsea weren't good by any means) but fair play to Adkins for the 2nd half, gone for it more and they've taken advantage of Chelsea's mediocrity.

Oh Torres.

Great goal.

They've had Bundesliga highlights from the start of this season I think. Seen a few adverts for it. Mondays 10pm?

Nani. Pathetically bad pass.

Fuming? 1/10 man. That's such bad value, it's negative value.

Bizarre, isn't it. Put your biggest goal threat on and he scores. Makes up for Cole losing his clean sheet.

Shocking, ey. You put Lambert on and he scores. Not a clue what Adkins was playing at not starting him. That said, Southampton showed zero attacking ability in the first half.

Southampton get a goal back.

1/10 for over 1.5 goals Dinho. Seriously man.

A common trait between the 2 games with Chelsea and Man Utd tonight is a depressing lack of ambition, especially from Chelsea. It's like both teams - who have far more quality than the teams they're facing - are just content doing what's necessary, with little effort to really attack and go for the juggler (sorry Neesy) and entertain. Pretty shite, if you ask me.

I remember when Nani used to be dangerous.

Literally the 2 minutes since I posted that, they've made Boruc make a great save, hit the post, and now it's 2-0.

For a side with such obscene levels of quality in their team, Chelsea are utterly soulless and insipid. Yet they're comfortable at 1-0 - says everything about Southampton's current level of ambition. Don't look at all like the side they're made out to be (i.e. the "they've got goals in them" side).

There's really no wonder there's a media perception that any good players will be swept up by the "big" clubs. Tony Gale within minutes of the start of the game "If Chelsea are looking for a new left back, they may need to look no further than Luke Shaw. He already looks like a young Gareth Bale, what a prospect he is and I bet Chelsea will be looking to the future."

Yeah that fucks me off a lot on matchdays. Same for clubs that take an absolute age to put their team news out. 1920 - team news headlines on the Man Utd game Still haven't actually printed the teams.

Loan? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLlqDrcSYeQ/S8YJTPNjufI/AAAAAAAABic/lb88QZH7IWE/s1600/Bill+Kenwright+3.jpg Guess who wins again.

Worth mentioning again what is a generally small irritation but annoys me more than it should - the BBC football feed not just putting the line-ups on until only 20-25 mins before the match, instead opting for stuff like "3 changes for Chelsea tonight" or "the team is unchanged". Just put the fucking teams up instead of waffling on.

Yeah that's it Southampton, don't play Lambert. Why the hell wouldn't they play their biggest goal threat? Hope they get tonked.
