I was in the away end at Bradford today due to my next door neighbour having a spare, absolutly cracking day out, their fans were fantastic and sung throughout the game. It made me realise what football is supposed to be like, kids were in tears people were walking around, wide eyed hands on head saying WTF happened there?

Even the female Police officer from Bradford was stood next to us with a Bradford badge on and singing along with all the songs, for the first time in years I enjoyed a day out at the football.   

Fantastic. Their reaction at the end there brought tears to my eyes too. Nice to see Stamford Bridge with an atmosphere for a change and the raw emotion of the Bradford fans was a real contrast to that happy clappy thing the tossers down the other end do to that pathetic little tune they play when the teams run out at the start. Jonathan Stead was almost unplayable and their football was a joy to behold.

Gabby is definitely better than Gary as MOTD host.

What a little move that was that he made to go pass the City defenders and hit the post, breathtaking stuff

A tad patronising...what a great bit of skill that was to make a monkey out of one of the best defenders in Europe more like.

Apparently someone put £44,000 at half time on Chelsea to win at 100-1 on. Oh dear.

Hmmm, to win £440 that is a bit daft.

Must say , Patrick Bamford carries himself very well.Well done young man.

I heard on the radio that he turned down a place at Harvard to pursue football.

A tad patronising? Sorry but I have no idea what you are on about there. It was a wonderful bit of skill and for me the biggest highlight of a great MOTD last night.

I think it was tongue in cheek Richard, that's how I read it anyway.

Ah, ok Dave, thank you. I didn't take offence and I wasn't having a go at Peter, it's just that I genuinely meant what I said, I thought it was an absolutely brilliant piece of skill, reminiscent of Bergkamp at his best!

Just watching a bit of Ajax v Feyenoord before heading to our game and KEA is playing for Feyenoord.  Usual fare from him, some nice touches here and there, but little influence on the game.

Whatever he does or doesn't do, he does more than Cleverley.

 To be fair, i wasn't disappointed with the Cleverley loan initially, but have to say it hasn't worked.
