brsnrtttnBy Paul Lagan at Gtech Community StadiumBrentford 0 v Chelsea 017, 183Neither side deserved to lose, and they didn't – a 0-0 at the Gtech Stadium just about summed up a game, that promised to be a football match, but instead became more like a pre-season friendly. Make no mistake, both sides wanted to win, but it just wasn't in their legs to make it happen. Chelsea fans were unhappy with their players first-half performance which was bereft of serious attacking intent.

Chelsea reverted to their passionate attack-first philosophy of the early season, which brought them victories that saw them become title contenders.

By Paul Lagan at Kingsmeadow StadiumChelsea 2 v West Ham United 2Chelsea blew a two-goal lead and perhaps blew open the title race as West Ham pegged the champions back to a 2-2 draw at Kingsmeadow. The Blues were a seemingly unstoppable force in the opening phases of the first half and raced into the two goal-lead through Maika Hamano and Aggie Beever-Jones. Had they scored four more, no one could have complained, and perhaps they should.
