The Sunday Supplement
Another struggle for Chelsea at the Bridge means more woe for us fantasy managers, as Bellamy taints the Chelsea clean sheet and Lampard returns a measly assist.

Oh and I might mention Jonathan Greening a few times. I promise you, compared to a Jamie Carragher interview, it’s all very easy to follow.
