		<description>Just one more comment: Wasn&#039;t that a typical Fulham result?  Take an early lead only to blow it!</description>

		<description>Steinsson&#039;s goal: not sure I agree with 100% certainty that the goal was a lucky cross.  Check out how much he puts his lower body behind that (shot/pass/at any rate a goal).  It&#039;s a highly unorthodox position from which to take a shot attempt, granted, but considering how he absolutely whaled on that ball, who knows?</description>

		<description>Apart from Chelsea, the Big-4 were insipid on this first weekend.  They snagged 10 out of 12 points, combined, but two of those victories were by the narrowest of margins.</description>

		<description>That was painful!!!

We couldn&#039;t string two passes together.  We had Kaboul in midfield, who probably doesn&#039;t know his teammates names yet, and obviously doesn&#039;t know how to pass to them.  We had Diop once again showing he shouldn&#039;t be handling the ball that much.  We had Kranjcar pull a disappearing act.  Sol Campbell out of position for the first goal.  Glen Johnson jump all of three inches which allowed the second goal.  David James coming off his line way too early and too far for the second and fourth goal.  Crouch and Defoe got either terrible or nonexistent service.  Slow lazy passes, always second to the ball, dribbling with our head down, no communication warning of double teams, no adjustment to Chelsea essentially playing 5 in the midfield.  It&#039;s enough to drive you to drink, and I did.  A lot!!!

Oh, and I don&#039;t like the new away kit.  It&#039;s the wrong color blue.

Somebody please tell me that Chelsea is the best team in the history of the game, they will make everyone look this bad,  and that we will bounce back next week against... Oh *#@%^!!!  ManU is coming to Fratton Park next Monday?
