Guess I am the only one who thinks J.Cole is overrated. Don't like him.

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

Well I have to see it again but I'm pretty sure Cech had jumped up so if he was standing it would be head height, and another chelsea played also challenging who I think was shorter than Cech.
Could be wrong but for me it's the right call.

Frisbee

Rosicky -> Arshavin
Vela -> Eduardo

The only thing keeping those two on the pitch at the minute is their reputations.
They've both played muck

It was the right call.

CHD

We need to calm down and pass the ball

That_Guy

Vela on for Eduardo.

Arsenal's crossing has been so so poor today. Cech is having those type of balls all day.

Frisbee

Vela hat trick, I can feel it

You think so?? I think he's quality. I would love him at Liverpool. (especially seeing as he always scores against us!!)

Ah jaysus his foot was high to be fair.

It was a foul, no matter what country it's played in.

Except Russia. It's opposite land!!!!

Good save.

Raskolnikov

Chelsea reestablishing themselves.

MagicMarker

So so poor from Arsenal.

Only does it against weak teams. Takes too much out of the ball, rarely tracks back. Didn't really fit into previous systems we used. He is meant to be made for the tip of the diamond but i don't think he will. Handy squad player.

wandatowell

63 minutes gone and Gallas finially makes an interception from a cross. About time you awful defender

LOL... couldn't resist.

Rosicky on now for Nasri. Surprised he didn't start tbh.

Frisbee

I can't believe Arshavin is going to play 90 minutes here.

Dunno about that i've seen Arsh free 4 or 5 times in good positions and he's just not getting played the right ball

Bounty Hunter

you get your wish CHD although dunno if you wanted Deco on

Only man for it if we play the diamond.

That_Guy

And Oba Martins Mikel gets booked.... eventually.

Wasteful yet again from Arsenal.

CHD

No better man than Drogba for those long balls. He has won most of them today.

Frisbee

If it wasn't for the theatrics Vela would have gotten the free for that foul on the edge of the box.

That_Guy

Chelsea's defence today has been absolutely formiddable.

Quazzie

Why is Mikel no sent off there. He threw away the ball after holding onto it. Red card for Mikel. Poor refereeing again tbh

And yet we're still trying to walk it into the fcuking net...

Xavi6

How was that a free out?! Rosicky stopped just short of penetrating Mikel

Hank Scorpio

ref is a joke

It won't work against the likes of Chelsea. A new game plan is needed for these type of games.

3 attempts at goal for Arsenal and 77 mins gone. Terrible really.

You have got to be joking, he was being pushed, should have been a free in.

wandatowell

Arsenal players need to harden up, waaaaay to soft

I never disputed that. I don't think many apart from the ref would. My point is the ref made a decision(albeit a bad one) and Mikel shouldve been booked for what happened after it.

mayordenis

That didn't look a good tackle from lampard, nothing new there though.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL

Game Set Match.

kenon

Screamer from the Drog.

That_Guy

What a goal. Unbelievable.

Harpy

very nice from drogba

Headshot

unreal goal

that's why he's the best striker in the league

I can't see anyone stopping Chelsea this year.

Dave!

Can't see Arsenal coming back now...

kenon

I cant believe he can generate that much power from his instep.

My prediction.

3-3

Well, I was half right.

Quazzie

Almunia terrible for that. What's the point of making a wall and then standing behind it. The shot had power but it was just placed. Shouldve been saved tbh

Harpy

a nice note to leave the pitch on

Soby

Fantastic

adox

Terrible from the keeper.

Frisbee

That's just the icing on the cake

The game was over on 45 minutes

Johner

GET THE **** IN! HAVE IT!!!
