Oh Ballard, I hope so so much that you're right but I fear the worst. Sheringham being out is a major blow, just hope that our boys show plenty of passion and do us all proud whatever the result - I know our fans will. But, you never know, anything's possible,that's what makes it the wonderful game that it is. Bring 'em on... COME ON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bold prediction Trevor, I hope your right mate, would love to stick one up Ambramovich or whatever his f***n' name is, there's every possibility that at 19.45am NZ time, a terrible sickness will befall me, and I'll be forced to stay at home to listen to the game.
That's what Pething did West ham Blue 2 West Ham Claret & Blue 2 But...Bobby Z comes through in Silver goal time and we win.
Indeed. Called in sick ... I did have a doctor's appointment this morning and you just never know how long those can go...
Starting 11... Walker Mullins Ferdinand Repka Brevett Etherington Reo-Coker Nowland Lomas Harewood Zamora on the bench Rebrov Hutchinson Noble Cohen Bywater
Walker has made a couple of good saves on Chelski so far. Joe Cole apparently playing with much fervor. The rain is coming down very heavily it sounds like. Kezman gets in one v one with Walker but is forced too wide to be of any danger.
Nowland and Zamora have gone close in the last few minutes, we've got to make these count before Chelsea wake up. Come On You Irons!!!!!!!!!!
Cole with another shot on goal. Tipped for a Chelsea corner. "Absolutely world class save by Walker."
Fierce cross into the box by Lomas ... yet no one is there to get on the other end of it. Ugh. __ Kezman header, down into the ground and only inches wide. Maybe one minute left in first half plus injury time.
NRC goes close, should've squared it to Zamora. Immediately Kezman puts it wide when he should've scored. Extra time anyone?
Harewood escapes a card, much to everyones surprise it seems. H-T 0-0. Come on you Irons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
