El Class Match Thread Arsenal -v- Chelsea Sunday 4PM

Holsten

How lucky are Chelsea... joke!

Come on Arsenal!

CHD

Cole silencing the crowd, Drogba continuing his scoring record against Arsenal, Arsenal on top for most of the game and we are 2-0 up. Love it.

True that.

Half time. 2-0 Chelsea.

What can Arsenal do? Change of tactics badly needed. Passing the ball into the net is too predictable and are being found out time and time again.
Mix it up.

lolz. Contain and punish, not lucky. Pure class.

I said Chelsea would win the league months ago, wish I had a ton on them now before the season started.

I don't see why Arsenal are consistently floating balls into the box when we have absolutely no one there to win them. Chelsea lucky enough to be ahead I think based on play so far.

I do think it wrapped up though, unless Arsenal make some unprecedented changes in style of play, because what they're trying now isn't working.

Sigh

3-2 i predict.

Great rally by us in the 2nd half. Drogba to be red carded. Cole to damage metatarsil.

Come on you gunners

We don't need your little snipes, this is the problem with this forum, people dragging other teams into every thread, no need for it xavi.

To be fair it wasn't really a snipe. Xavi imo was just pointing out hypocrisy.

Completely different

By 70 minutes I'd much prefer us to look like:

---

Almunia

---

Sagna

---

Vermaelen----Gallas

---

Traore

---

Fabregas

---

Song

---

Rosicky

---

Walcott

---

Vela

---

Nasri



Eduardo and Arshaving have been very poor, particularly Eduardo, he's been so wasteful.

Chances of an embarrassing scoreline here...

mobby

2 up plus a defo penalty turned down. ye we are very lucky :rolleyes:

Your hoping it happens though, pretty much the same thing

He is carrying a knock anyway. Zhirkov might come on for him.

Feck that tbh

Nearly every pool fan knows we were incredibly lucky(or they are lying to themselves), but if Xavi thinks Holsten is wrong (which he was) then have a go at that and don't drag in another game, because there's other posters reading and he should honestly have no need to throw in a little dig.

Just annoying anyway when I'm trying to discuss the match at hand.

Not half as annoying as reading the multiple posts disccusing it after it.

Use the report post function and then we can all enjoy the thread please.

It wasn't a swipe, it was pointing out delicious irony.

One minute luck is great but then all of a sudden it isn't.

oh dear...


I was nervous for a reason. Arshavin not really having a great game. We really need to approach this match like a cup final and throw everything (including the kitchen sink) at them now.

newbie2

Theo is on.

At least 1 of your team frisbee

Can't argue with that. Apologies.


Anyway much more important think we'll see around 4 goals in this half,
especially with no Alex Song playing.

Royale with Cheese

Looks like it's back to 4-4-2 for Arse.

MagicMarker

My prediction.

3-3

To anyone who doesn't support Chelsea, What do you think of J.Cole?

He's a super player. No question.

I don't think he comes across as a particularily good guy though.

Quazzie

Eduardo wasteful again. Playing him alone up front is bad as he works better when he stays up front. Playing alone means he has to drop back every so often and that goes against his game

Hank Scorpio

class but hes not having his best game today

Royale with Cheese

Embarassing stuff from Eduardo and Arshavin up front.

~Rebel~

!!!

MagicMarker

That should have been a goal.

Chelsea very lucky there.

That_Guy

Ah no way. Bad decision for me. Eduardo has every right to go for that ball.

Headshot

arshavin and especially Eduardo have been very bad

really shows what a big loss RVP is

Xavi6

Oh lucky there. Should be 2-1

Leg was a little high in fairness,
but originally I thought it was a terrible decision.

Raskolnikov

Eduardo is a shadow of the player he was.

Soby

phew thank god for that

CHD

Kinda harsh, but so was the lack of a penalty for us in the first half.

kenon

I think its a definite free in Europe for a high foot but you can sometimes get away with a high foot in the PL.

Frisbee

The words 'Protected Species' comes to mind

I love J Cole. It's a pity he got injured when he did though. Really is a class act but he's quiet today.

mayordenis

Foot was head height, if went with his own head then no problem but no where on the pitch can you challenge for a ball with our foot at head height.

monkey9

He kicked it out of Cech's hands in fairness. Ref made the right call, i think

It wasnt head height for Cech though seen as it was kicked out of his arms.
