You seriously think that's the end of Chelsea? Buffoon. And someone else posted Cashley, I assume you mean Man Utd.....................

Chelsea were muck yesterday, no Drogba, no Carvalho and thanks to dirty tackling by Eboue no Terry, we'll see in the return fixture at Stamford bridge if we're at full strength and Gallas, Toure and Adebayor are injured who gets their asses handed to them! Not us for sure!

Terry should never have been injured as he should not have been on the pitch should have got a red for tackle on Cesc. Arsenal also had players returning from injury, Jesus you have spent enough money ove the last few years and you are complaining about injuries,just get on with it, Arsenal deserved the win, get over it and stop making excuses. I have no doubt Chelsea will bounce back and will be challenging come the end of the season,but ffs stop moaning.

Considering he's gone for the foreseeable future though, who's gonna score the goals?

You're absolutely right, without Drogs, Chelse carry no goal threat, my guess is Grant is gonna buy someone in the Jan window, hope it's another Drogba and not another Sheva :eek:

to the first part? What's supposed to come after Man Utd?

Eboue's tackle on Terry was a free kick and a yellow card. Yeah, he left the boot in but that happens a lot. Terry, on the other hand, made a disgusting tackle and followed through on a helpless Fabregas who was already on the ground. The only intention that John Terry could have had there was to injure Fabregas. It's not nice to see him get injured but that's karma for you!

Give me a break, I'm not moaning and I never said Gooners didn't deserve it, but we had injuries to key players, Arse didn't, that was the difference on the day, and as for spending money, we have spent more than Arsenal, but less than 'pool and Manyoo so don't make me eat that chestnut again, Terrys tackle on Cesc was permissable in a contact sport, not a red card tackle IMHO, but Eboues' tackle on Terry was a bit blue b4 the 9 o'clock water shed

Pepe LeFrits

Terry also kicked out at Eboue off the ball later in the game (before Eboue ended his involvement).

Personally, I don't think either tackle was worthy of a red card.

I'm afraid there's no cure for this one!

Terry's tackle wouldn't be permissable in any sport, except maybe the UFC. Chelsea's solution to every problem seems to be to throw money at it. Drogba, Shevchenko, Kalou, Pizarro, some other £30million striker. Not the best long term strategy to follow!

To repeat what I've posted above; I don't like Eboue but I honestly think he was trying to block the clearence. Terry kicked his foot more than anything. To defend Terry, his tackle wasn't two footed and he actually got the ball but imo he actually intended to hurt Fabregas in doing it. He just launched into it from a mile out.

Let them carry on spending and spending, imo it will eventually end in tears

I love the way Eboue is enemy no.1(normally he deserves it) for the tackle, it's beng replayed and replayed on Sky News and yet there's no sign of JT's sliding lunge on cesc.

Simple, racism.
The same way its Arsene Wenger's fault England didn't qualify for the European Championship.
The English media can't/wont see their own blue eyed boys do wrong.

True to an extent, but not racism, come on don't use the racism card.

Yeah, you're right. Racism is too strong a word. 'Over the top nationalism' might be more appropriate.
