West Ham Hammered By Pensioners
West Ham United 1 (Parker 85) Chelsea 3 (Essien 2 & 83, Kalou 18)
The Premier League took a 2 week break for international commitments but it took Chelsea 2 minutes to get back into the swing of things against a West Ham side low on confidence. This defeat for the Hammers makes it the worst start to a season in the clubs history and already there is uncertainty over the future of Avram Grant.

Malouda's Scoring Streak Continues
Bosnia-Herzegovina 0 France 2
After losing their opening match of the qualifying campaign at home to Belarus at the weekend the French knew tonights win was a must win game but it took Les Bleus until the 72nd minute to crack open a resolute Bosnian defense which was carved open by Real Madrid's Karim Benzema.
The goal must have knocked the wind out of Bosnia as 5 minutes later Malouda scored his fifth goal of the season and the second for France to make sure the 3 points were heading off to Paris.
Like Salomon Kalou at the weekend Malouda was the only scorer for the Unofficial Premier League Champions Chelsea.
All Chelsea's international stars can now head back to London and prepare for a London derby against bottom club West Ham United at Upton Park on Saturday.

Chelsea Struggle To Name 25 Man Squad
The rules state a maximum of 17 non home-grown players are allowed in the squad with the other 8 being made up from home grown talent (trained by an English or Welsh club for three years before the age of 21).
With Chelsea only being able to name 4 Chelsea must now face the opening 4 months of the season with a 21 man squad.
Should Chelsea suffer injuries and suspensions they can call on their current youth players which include Gael Kakuta and Daniel Sturridge to make up the numbers so there shouldn't be any real problems at the Bridge.
Chelsea's squad until January 1st 2011:
Homegrown players
Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ross Turnbull
Non homegrown players
Alex, Branislav Ivanovic, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, Henrique Hilario, John Mikel Obi, Jose Bosingwa, Michael Essien, Nicolas Anelka, Paulo Ferreira, Petr Cech, Ramires, Salomon Kalou, Yossi Benayoun, Yury Zhirkov
