Woolwich 1-4 Chelsea: Why Wasn't HUSS Given to us Earlier?
COME ON CHELSEA

It took an hour for ManUre to clear Corporate City on Tuesday night. Chelsea took twenty-four minutes longer to replace the Red plastic shirts with Red plastic seats when Malouda, Chelsea's most improved player since HUSS took over, slotted home Chelsea's fourth, six minutes from time. As the shirts left you could almost hear Bob Marley's Exodus accompanying their departure.
4-1 to Chelsea was the last result to expect as Woolwich got off to a flier, creating and missing a hatful of chances. Little boy Walcott the most guilty of offenders.
Chelsea were slow to get going which has been a concern this season, but the tide turned when the 'man in the news,' Didier Drogba was caught by Fabregas and a free-kick was awarded. Dids took the kick and Alex overpowered Woolwich's defence and headed home via the underside of the bar.
Nine minutes later Anelka picked up the ball in Woolwich's midfield, turned and ran before unleashing a thunderbolt which beat a diving Fabianski to his left. Fair play to Nic he refused to celebrate at his former home, at any other ground - cue rapture.
Three minutes into the second-half Woolwich's public enemy No.1 Ashley Cole galloped down the left and with Fabianski on walkabout, Toure put into his own net.
Woolwich came to life when Panty Boy Bendtner came on and in the 70th minutes he pulled one back with a firm header from a Sagna cross, Cech then saved brilliantly from close range, saved well from Van Persie, Bendtner had another header saved and Adebayor blatantly dived at the diving body of Cech - Card Ref?!!?!!
Straight up the other end and Fabianski saved from Malouda, the ball rebounded to Anelka who hit the post, before Malouda slotted home therefore wrecking and destroying Woolwich's 21 game unbeaten league run.
Why Oh Why Wasn't HUSS Given to Us EARLIER?

We were numb in the first 20 mins which wasn´t surprising. Arsenal had chances but they tended to snatch at their shots.
Was quite wierd in a way - my blood wasn´t up as it normally is yet I had the feeling that we were coasting,impervious in some kind of cocoon.
Great finish by Anelka - satisfying result which cheered me up a bit - but only a bit.
The pain from Wednesday continues and will do so for some time.

And where´s PK when you need him?
;-)

Hiddink's done remarkably well, you've just lost one league game under him haven't you? (And that too against a pile of sh*te )
As for yesterday's game the first 20 minutes was some of the best stuff we've played all season. Even at 3-1 I thought we could come back as we were making chances but as soon as Adebayor (C*NT) came on that was that.
I bet you'll be sad to see Hiddink go eh. Got you to a cup final, nearly an FA cup final and the league form has been quality.

You´re going to win that one - will be a good trip.

I got in on after the away scheme season ticket holders had theirs.
And providing the money's about I can now. But as I saved them up for the Corrupt League final, which we aint going to now, I will redeem them in the club shop
