''Is this deal close?'' Adkins ''No idea''

He hasn't got a scooby, he must love embarrassing himself.

He made a similar run in the Villa game as well. Very powerful and has more acceleration than I thought he did. Glides along the floor just like Bale used to. Immense talent.

Also, if bloody Jay Boothroyd can get an international cap - then Christ on a bike, Lambert can.

Oh shut the **** up.

In terms of goal ratio, is what I was trying to get at - just poorly worded. Still, such a huge signing.

Don't ignore Cork either, I think he's class. He keeps getting better too, won't be too far away from the national side IMO.

The best investment this club has made in it's recent history, certainly our most influential signing in my lifetime. He's singe handily taken us up 2 leagues, let's be honest.

There's nothing wrong with tonight. Stop trying your hardest to find a flaming negative. Enjoy it, we've just got a stunning result because of stunning management.

Exactly this, there was actually little wrong with us in the first half. We played alright for most of this game, but we held some cards on the bench - which we dealt and it came through for us. Clever tactics, no mistakes.

A lot of praise for NA too, he's been hugely criticized for his subs against City and Utd etc - but he got it spot on today, at the right times. A really good tactical effort.

He was unbelievable tonight. Some of his touches to take it away from 2 or 3 Chelsea players was amazing. A real, top, top class player. Although we always knew he was PL class, even in L1. He's grown with us, and he's going to be one of the most sought after midfielders in Europe before long.

As much as people were going OTT at HT, I don't think we played badly in that half. I generally thought it was a really disciplined performance, good retention of the ball - albeit a little lacking in the final third thrust. The way we played it in the 2nd half was perfect though. Chelsea were naive and they thought it was won, but we played a little higher up with a bit more purpose - our full backs pushed on to great effect, and we got our rewards. It's a truly amazing result, in amazing circumstances. At HT this should be over, we've got a point, we're now 3 clear + GD from the bottom 3. What a wonderful position to be in. I will continue to stand by my opinion that the 2nd half of this season will be a lot of fun. We're a very accomplished premier league team now.

That is a simply stunning result, completely out of the blue and totally unexpected. This will send the shivers up most teams down the bottom.

everyone calm....

rubbish ball by chaplow

Fantastic bit of play by Gaston.

Gaston wasn't sure what to do with that.

Wow, that was a huge bit of space for Torres. WTF happend there.

Maya has done well so far. Reads the game well, which makes up for his lack of strength at times.

Gaston has done nothing but give away **** free kicks.

This has been such a great effort by us, chuffed whatever happens.

Love it.

We just need to calm it down again, otherwise this will become too open.

Really poor free kick to give away Gaston, really rubbish.
