Football Ramble

How about that for a first Monday Night Football of the season, eh? Marcus Spellers' beautiful Cottagers took the fight to their west London neighbours but in the end it was Chelsea who, despite Robert Sánchez's best efforts, came out on top.

Jim joins Marcus this morning to react to the game. Plus, is it time for big boy Penders to have a go in net? Why can't you say "bomb squad" anymore? And do we want to wish the great-grandson of a fascist dictator good luck?
