NEWSNOWExpecting too Much?
Is Zola right about the top 4 clubs (we know who they are) becoming less and less of a threat to the smaller clubs?
and are we expecting too much from our clubs?
West Ham were the latest team to come away from Stamford Bridge with something after yet another disappointing performance from Chelsea but good from West Ham. 
The Blues have already dropped 14 points at home, the same amount as the whole of last season.
3 wins, 4 draws & 2 defeats is hardly the form of champions, yet the 1-1 draw leaves Scolari’s Chelsea 2nd in the league, a point behind leaders Liverpool, who are hardly convincing at Anfield themselves.
Stamford Bridge was a fortress under Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant as Chelsea went unbeaten for 4 years, a run of 86 matches.
In stark contrast, Chelsea haven’t dropped a single point away from home, winning 11 conservative games including 8 in the Premier League, scoring 21 times and conceding a measly 1 goal in the process.

As the boo’s rang round The Bridge I found myself questioning the state of the game today. Is this a new phenomenon or has it always been with us?
Liverpool, Arsenal & West Ham respectively have all received the same treatment this season. Do we expect them to win every game? Chelsea are battling on all 4 fronts and are still favorites to win the league. So why are their fans booing?
Well it is a only a minority of the fans that Boo and have every right too, the cost of season tickets and match day tickets gives them that right.
As a West Ham fan, i am happy to stick with Zola and his tactics, alot of West Ham fans would not agree, he needs time and lets hope he gets it, what other options do we have? Fat Sam? errr no thanks.

I think most hammers fans are happy with Zolas style of football although some more points would be nice. He will be given time by the board or will he, the icelanders have lied to fans from day one, and after watching zola squirm and try to reassure us that top players wont be sacrificed i dont believe it. Upson wont be at west ham after the window, and we will only bring in loan players on average wages.And credit crunch aside, the icelanders have taken our club back 5-10 years.
To be honest, my impression is that what we are watching is recently more Steve Clarke than Zola. I do think Zola’s licking of Chelsea fans dissed the Hammers fans. On the telly all I could hear was bubbles, that should have been rewarded better than it was.
I’ve no great problem with the Icelandics other than the fact that selling George was a mistake. Selling Ferdinand was a good bit of business, especially when you still have Upson, Davenport, Ginge, Neill, Gabbidon and wassisname the young lad to play in central defence.
