The fans: your view on the weekend's matches

“We all should have known Lampard would miss his penalty, there was no one in front of him to get a deflection off.”
bbc.co.uk/606

“Quick, Let’s get Derren Brown in a Chelsea shirt. Penalties are all in the mind. Hit and hope is not good enough.”
chelseafc.com

“Marcello Lippi thinks we can challenge for the title. “The big English improver is Manchester City,” the former Italy manager said. “Rolando Bianchi can make his name in the Premiership. They are ready to compete for the English title.” — I’ll have some of what he’s smoking please.”

“We should just pay up Hossam Ghally’s contract and get rid of him. Hopefully we’ll find some mug to take him off our hands. Jol needs to get on the phone to Harry Redknapp. He’s usually our dustman.”

“Mighty Leeds United lost to little Wigan Athletic on Saturday. Fifteen points deducted and heading for Division 4. Bloody great. Life can be so sweet sometimes.”
redandwhitebarmy.com

“Thank you Carlos. Although the story was short, it was sweet. Something many other clubs will never get a chance to experience. So good luck Carlos and thanks for being a Hammer.”

“Chelsea looked a footballing class below United. Against the best opposition Chelsea invariably look like gritty underdogs as opposed to a top side, even though they often scrape a victory. You would have thought that, with a quarter of a billion spent in the last five years, Chelsea would have had a team capable of playing nice football, instead of being spoilers. There's really no need to play this way with the resources of Abramovich at their disposal.”
