Could be all the sandwiches, fried chicken, and penguin bars he has stashed down there.

Actually I am watching on a stream and it's hard to pick him out, can't say I have positively identified him yet.

He is both of the 2 in the formation.

Getting into the game now. Nice bit of play on the edge of the box there. This is a good game. "Cruyff" turn by Reid. Brilliant stuff.

Bit of praise on BBC text updates:

From Ben Cerasale on Twitter: "Blackpool don't deserve to be losing here! Reid and Puncheon are having a stormer out there, some terrific touches, love it!"

2040: Taxi for Lampard, thanks to a delicious turn from Andy Reid. Cue cheers from the home fans.

go on fat andy!! good first half, started to run the show towards the end

**TrapAPony** · 07/03/2011, 8:03 PM

Thought he was doing next to nothing myself bar one shot at goal which went well over.

**the bear** · 07/03/2011, 8:06 PM

i was impressed with his passing, and that great turn in his own half, cant understand why he can't keep the weight off, he was brilliant at the start of last season

Chelsea 3 up. This could be 6 or 7 now.

Hauled off with about 20? mins left.
Blackpool get one back for 1-3.

Blackpool won the last 20 minutes 1 nil.
How did Andy do, if you apply Paul Ince's slide rule?

A few nice turns and passes. 6 out of 10 job.

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/03/2011, 10:54 PM

How was his tackling? And harrying?

**tricky_colour** · 08/03/2011, 2:10 AM

Is that a 'how' or a 'where'?
I was watching the match on and off and didn't see anything significant really.
He seemed to be playing 'in the hole' when I saw him (which was rarely).

Anyway here is his citation in the match report.

James Beattie and Andy Reid's vast inflated super-shorts getting us back under way.

Blackpool have a free kick. It's all Tangerine right now. Reid humps it in..

Blackpool send on Ormerod and Phillips for Carney and Andy Reid's vast, billowing tent-like shorts.

So one mention for a free kick and two mentions for the size of his shorts.

Maybe he will get a sponsorship deal with Evans...

I thought he played well first half. Some nice switches of play and always demanded the ball from his team mates. Faded a bit in the 2nd half and I switched off when it went to 2 nil.

You weren't supporting Chelsea then

Saw bits in between the wife's Coronation Street. Wasn't impressed but is playing up the park and I wonder why he's seldom given the play makers role in the centre of the field.
