Well all the Scotty Parker fans might like to take note of that Lampard finish. It was a deliciously constructed goal and Fat Frank feasted on the Cole cross, burying the chance with his usual aplomb. Why aren't Chelsea going to win the title this season? Because Lampard has missed so many games. THAT is the measure of the man. West Ham fans taunted him when he was at the club and have hounded him since his departure, but with Lampard in the team we wouldn't be in the bottom three would we?
And with Lampardin our team we would be ahead. Spector made a hash of a superb Sears cross, opting to head a ball that he should have lashed home with his right foot. Full credit to Specs for getting there and for forcing the save, but Lampard would have buried that chance too!
Sears also nearly scored a Zolaesque goal, with a clever back flick on the volley. Had that gone in, Chelsea would have got really angry, of course, but taking the lead would have been exciting for as long as it lasted!
We so nearly made it to half time level, but Malouda should have scored inside the first five minutes. Green closed him well but had it been Lampard and not Malouda, it would have opened the floodgates. In fact had it been Alonso or Anelka, it would have been game over.
We are battling hard but it remains to be seen how much fight there really is in the team now we are behind. My money would be on Chelsea scoring three second half without us replying, but who knows? Ba may let fly and pull us level. Here's hoping!
But I hope they keep an eye on the goal difference and remember that wins against Blackburn, Sunderland and Wigan will keep us up. Keep the score down lads, keep the score down, and if a chance comes along...

I love it when no one has the energy to reply to your rubbish.... makes you look a right plonker.
But you took the trouble to reply and it was a half time report. Most were either out, at the game or engaged in the game. How are you going to reply? Still reached 25 in the West Ham News Now list. Twat!
