It looked like boys against men at Upton Park last night. West Ham’s defeat means they are virtual certs to be relegated, while Chelsea just won’t let Man U relax at the top. This was a very impressive, very powerful performance by the champions, who remind me of the German team in Escape to Victory – loads of power and athleticism, but not much in the way of charisma or personality.
It’s great to see Sean Wright-Phillips back to his best. All he needed was a little confidence. His two goals were both wonderful. For West Ham, Carlos Tevez battled gamely and ran his socks off, but he had precious little support. Nigel Medi-Ocre and Bobby Zamora were particularly shit for the home team.
