West Brom away. What was the score? Won 2-1 We bounced back superbly today after the defeat at home last week to win another three excellent points on the road and the game echoed of the previous away match at Birmingham. In the first half we played some terrific attacking football led by an inspirational Danny Murphy and in the 2nd period we had to defend stoutly as West Brom finally got to grips with us.

Listening to the commentary it sounded like both wingers were at their tormenting best and a second penalty in a week, after 50 games without one, was dispatched by Murphy following a foul on Thomas in the 9th minute. Then a cross by Rommedahl was side-footed home by the same man on 31 minutes.

Only Chris Kirkland prevented us going in at half time with the game won but the Baggies stormed back in the 2nd half with us hanging on after ex-Luton youngster Curtis Davies pulled a goal back.

It was another fantastic away result for the Addicks and another top day out for the 1,000 or so supporters who made the journey.

The Premiership table has a strange look to it after 7 weeks of the campaign. Last season some football fans welcomed Chelsea to the elite as they assumed two would become three but in fact three has indeed become one as Man Utd and Arsenal find themselves already 10 and 11 points behind Ambramovich's toy respectively.

Meanwhile as well as us in 2nd, Bolton and West Ham occupy the 3rd and 4th places and just a bit further behind are Man City and Wigan. Liverpool I am told are in the bottom half of the table, wherever that is!

Chelsea's one-sided dominance of the Premiership maybe bad for football but surely a mix up in the top 6 and two of the promoted sides having good first season's must be good for the game.

More than two minutes on Match of the Day tonight then?
