The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Summers]

Vorm is absolutely brilliant.

Great win. I think Blackburn may be in some big trouble. I mean... Heskey scored..

[Summers]

So are Everton. QPR just beat you, at home. Bolton made them humble, then they still turn you over.

[cmb211087]

Well we play everton next week, the world may implode with the awfulness on show.

[Matt]

I've just remembered how awful Everton always start the season, why did I back them in their opening game

[Starvinho]

Chelsea v West Brom line-ups:

Chelsea: Hilario, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Torres, Kalou. Subs: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Benayoun, Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira, McEachran.

West Brom: Foster, Reid, Tamas, Olsson, Shorey, Scharner, Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison, Long, Tchoyi. Subs: Fulop, Cech, Dorrans, Jara Reyes, McAuley, Odemwingie, Cox.

Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)

Anyone else think West Brom could get something out of the game? I can see another 0-0 to be honest.

No, I fancy Chelsea to put 3 or 4 past them.

[Summers]

Sky or ESPN?

[Starvinho]

ESPN

[Lineker]

Sky are running an advert iirc saying that you can get ESPN free for three months, but I'm sure there's a catch. www.sky.com/espn if anyone wants to delve further into that.

[Summers]

Thanks.

Would be nice to see the Baggies do well, but I think Chelsea will have too much for them.

[Thrilla]

Shane Long just scored. 1-0 Baggies.

Bit of a loose pass across the defence put Alex (?) in trouble and Long was too strong on his run to knock off, good finish as well, already looking like a cracking signing.

[Starvinho]

West Brom 1-0 Long again

[Summers]

Shane Long, well done. Brilliant work.

[Dan]

Shane Long is taking to the Premier League nicely.

[MDK]

Ahahahahaha, bugger Chelsea in the bum.

[Matt]

Yeah, I can see Chelsea being utter shit.

[HailtotheYo]

should have had a second ... nutted the pass to Tchoi for a sitter.

[Starvinho]

Bah 1-1 now, Anelka

[Lineker]

1-1. Anelka.

"Chelsea goal: Another deflection costs West Brom dear, just like last week against Manchester United. The Baggies canot clear their lines and Nicolas Anelka fires in a low shot from the right that nicks off Jonas Olsson and bounces into the far corner of the net. Chelsea have been well below par, but they are level."

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Typical.

Unfair on WBA, but you could see that coming from a mile away.
