Chelsea FBC

Our friends Jen and Ben asked us to Chelsea's opening Premier League match - and we had a great day for it.

We met them at Bodeans BBQ - which is actually really decent BBQ - especially when you look out the window and see that you are in Fulham...

here you can see the tallest-shortest forward combo in the league this year with Peter Crouch (at 2.02 m) and Jermain Defoe (at 1.7 m) - you do the math(s)...or just click to see it larger, or just trust me.

The seats that Ben had were on the lower level, at midfield - but up far enough to provide a good view of everything - as well as being covered (we did not need it on this particular day).

It could have been a more closely contested match - as Portsmouth is the reigning FA Cup holder and they bolstered their side this year with a couple of good names signings... but it is always fun to see goals... and here is one that was a bit of a controversial/close call... but Chelsea was the home side...

just after that was the half time whistle...when everyone hustles out for a refreshment - while a few 'tuck in' to their half time grub

Result - 4-nil Chelsea beats Pompey... good times.
