Chelsea vs. Arsenal Match Thread (Pride & Glory)

Frisbee

We have to get a goal before half-time...

Frisbee

Adebayor is the key to us getting something out of this game.
If he stays on Ivanovic's shoulder and keeps pressuring him I reckon he'll mess up and we'll get a chance.
I cant see RVP lasting the game, he'll bring him off for Bendtner between 60 and 70 minutes and let Nicklas try to beat the Chelsea defence into submission.
And once again we won't get to see Vela (unless he gets the final 10 for the sake of Song)...

Beau x1

Agree with the above, Bendtner might not actually be too bad in this sort of scenario considering the size difference between us and the opposition.

I think I'm watching the same game as you all but, I think Van Persie is playing better than Adebayor. Ade's got a touch like a rapist. I think we'll see Nasri off at half time. Bendtner on. Major players needed in January

Chelsea well in control the first half. Defence looks very assured.
If Kalou and Anelka timed their runs slightly better we could get a few. Arsenal defence is very shaky. No need to make any changes I feel.

To be fair neither ADE or RVP are playing well. But I'd still take RVP off before Ade for that physical presence up top, RVP is being pushed off the ball too easily, as is Denilson

I think RVP is a far better player, Adeboyour is terrible today. RVP is throwing his weight around quite well and forced a good save from Cech

Here we go again. Come on the gunners.

Frisbee

Deco really is absolutely amazing...

Beau x1

Adebayor should have got that in.

Beau x1

What we want is an equalizer now and then a massive fight to end between the two sides. Entertainment at its finest.

Not really, they have their opportunities but Chelsea seem to be dominating.

I'd like to take credit for that goal. I'll be along with the same question in the 87th minute.

You obivously dont understand sarcasam but are probably bitter again from another man city loss

Looking forward to MOTD 2 tonight.

RVP to score 2 or more goals @ 30/1 makes me VERY happy

JæKæ

Ade should be pulled ashore-he's terrible

LuckyLloyd

Andy Gray makes a good point there (for once). If I was covering the game my article would be roughly finished by now - and would concern:

- Arsenal in trouble;
- Chelsea being Kings of the mini - league;

etc, etc.

And now you would be scrambling to completely rewrite it!!
