The game's on Setanta too for those with no ITV access. Chelsea to win by 3 or 4 here today, Preston are struggling

Johner

Oh is it sorry didn't realise, will edit the title.

Johner

COME ON LADS!!!!

Johner

Great noise from our fans! Pity the team haven't started to smartly.

Johner

Ohh unlucky Yiri!

Pro. F

Preston doing alright for the first while, not frightened to pass it about a bit but their movement off the ball is very poor. Chelsea starting to dominate a bit now.

Johner

Belletti off injured. Ugh.

Malouda on.

mike65

PNE doing okay Malouda is on as a sub for Belletti who seemed to twist something.

The Volt

Moment of quality from Anelka is coming soon....

Redsoxfan

Agree with the ITV commentators it is a very grey area.

Johner

Alex has some strike on him.

Johner

We are poor in the final thrid so far.

Goal anelka

Johner

ANELKAAAAAA. keeper should have saved it.

mike65

That should open things up a bit.

Redsoxfan

Messy finish but a nice counter

Sounds like the Chelsea fans are singing about Benitez again-was the same last weekend.

Johner

What a miss. LOL

Redsoxfan

Awful-PNE should have scored there

Dave!

Easier to score there

everdead.ie

That was a terrible miss that hart is putting in some good balls that are causing trouble

Redsoxfan

Ferreira was never going to score a goal that good

Johner

We need half time, they are going to score!

Redsoxfan

A lot of refs would have given a free there

Jeez, commentator really singing JT's praises

adamski8

Wish the itv commentator would stop calling him NICOLA anelka!

smuckers

Zhirkov doing well and Deco seems to better in a deeper role.

Id play good in that role as well with chelsea having so much possesion.

Panthro

hilario nearly made a costly mistake. thank jaysus JT knows where to be in those situations.
good play overall from chelsea, dominating possession, think preston cant keep snapping at chelsea heels for another 45mins, they will prob start to tire, so im thinking theres 2 more chelsea goals in this.
preston defending well throughout though.

JPA

2-0, Sturridge.

The Volt

That's that done and dusted anyway

Panthro

jaysus, wee darren is the absolute cut of the aul fella. lob some chewing gum into that gob you wouldnt know the differance!

Redsoxfan

Damn, Lampard going off is not good for Wednesday night...

CHD

We are wonderful team yes

Johner

Johner

Anelka has been brilliant again today.

He thinks he's being clever but if the word following starts with a vowel you pronounce the consonant at the end of the preceding word, so the S should be pronounced.

I bought Anelka in my 2nd season in PES 2010 master league. He was decent, nothing special, and has really lost alot of attribute in the next two seasons.

I think the game underrates him.

More interesting than your Borat impression!

Conversely, Di Vaio, there is a player that is excellent well into his pensioner years.
