Tuesday 17:20

Aston Villa v Tottenham

Wednesday 19:45

Newcastle v Man City

Wednesday 20:00

Blackburn v Sunderland
Bolton v Derby
Liverpool v Wigan



The televised Tuesday games should both be great, first time Sky's had the 5:15 kick off as well this season. Can't see why they've chosen Bolton's match over Newcastle's match on Wednesday if it's anything other than team rotation.

Have a good feeling about the match v West Ham, despite the Hammers being a tough opponent for us in recent years.

3-1 to the Arsenal.

For those in the UK, the SSN Saturday program's already started.

Come on Roy, show you're much better than that sad excuse for a manager called Grant

Murphy has had a good game against ballack so far.

I'm not too sure about the fulham penalty, think there wasn't sufficient contact to bring the player down.

chelsea have had about 2 well worked chances( with some nice passing play), but their midfield gave away the ball a lot in the 1st half.

We are 6 mins into the second half now, mikel on for sidwell, and chelsea have started very well.

kalou scores!

1-1 now

Kalou

Fulham 1-1 Chelsea

Wonder who'd go down more easily when touched by a fly, Ballack or Fabregas?

don't know him for diving or simulation.

Defenders should keep their hands off,its a good way of not conceding penalties.

ballack is having a good game especially in the 2nd half( has to do with the fact that he's going more forward now, doesn't need to drop deep to receive the ball).

Mikel should have started - they keep the ball better with him in the side.

If he dived he'd have a better reputation than he does.
