Ridiculously early in the season to be saying this but, for me, West Ham are doomed and will be a Championship side next season. Does that tickle me? Well of course it does!

Ramires might make a start as Lampard won't feature.

It'll still be tough. West Ham away always does seem to be for us. I reckon we'll get a 2-0 win.

Lamps out? Was it confirmed?

Daily Star quotes Ancelotti as saying he'll be fit

FRANK LAMPARD has been declared fit to face West Ham on Saturday – less than two weeks after a hernia operation

The Blues boss, whose side top the Premier League table after three wins on the spin, with 14 goals scored, said: “For sure, Frank will be fit for the West Ham game.â€

If Frank is indeed out, i hope Benayoun gets the start. But i think we'll see Malouda moved inside with Kalou starting.

agree with loz

west ham 0:3 chelsea

Hopefully Ramires will get some playtime, that goes for sturridge as well.

5-0 to us.

Maybe Lamps will play - I thought he was out for a couple of weeks or maybe a little more. You are spot on that another posibility is that Benayoun will start.

better is to start with benayoun/ramires than lampard, he need to rest, like JT, but we have good replacement, so don't panic..

Hope that Lampard will be fit to play!

I would play Benny and hope he scores a hat trick, that would really upset the spammers. Just hope this stupidly timed international break doesnt have an adverse affect on our run, weve started the season incredibly well.

Maybe Ramires should play in the first squad?

Surely we can't lose with someone this cool in charge?

Just read it: Ancelotti said that Lampard is fit to play! :D

Brilliant pic Moos.

Should grab all 3 points , we were awful last season when we went there but this is a great time to play them.

Strong starting 11 and we'll be solid.

Brilliant, he needs a nickname. How about the Don.

Great picture!

Have to say, Ancelotti is looking very dapper this season. Contender for the best dressed manager award?... I think so!

As for the game, I'm expecting a 4-0 victory...they don't look a good team this season. I'd like to see Ramires get a full game under his belt too!

Apparently Mikel limped off during a Nigeria game today, dont know how bad it is though.

Brilliant, he needs a nickname. How about the Don.

As in Don Corleone? brilliant! Or, of course, Don Carlos...

Just as long as it's not Don Johnson...

Don Carlo sounds good to me.

OH EM GEE - my new desktop.

f**k West Ham and f**k the international break, I hate these two weeks off

The game after a meaningless internation weekend is always tricky, fortunately we had several big guns did not have anything to do with it. I wouldn't rush Lampard into it, happy for Yossi to start against his old club.

This lot always raise their game against us. Won't be an easy game by any means.

Brilliant, he needs a nickname. How about the Don.

Il Padrino sounds good to me.

haha same here :D
