Would love to be proven wrong but you just know Chelsea will bully them into submission.

"First time that Fabregas-Nasri-Walcott-van Persie has been Arsenal's front four in Prem since May 2009.......a 1-4 home defeat to Chelsea" from Zonal Marking

If you believe in stats :pac:

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Happy to see it's Djourou and Kos in defence. Also good to see that Arshavin is not untouchable so hopefully Walcott can have a good game.

Arsenal Bench: Szczesny, Diaby, Rosicky, Squillaci, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner


Just noticed Ferreira starts, that should even things up!

Pacifico

Would have preferred Szczesny in goal, apart from that it's a good team!

Rape is such a harsh word. I prefer the term 'surprise sex' myself.

Tv is worth something :pac:

WalterMitty

any working links please.

greendom

VP getting his sights in

everdead.ie

You really wonder what are Chelsea going to do as Terry and Lampard are phased out of the team two annoyingly consistent players

amacachi

Van Persie on his usual form anyway.

MagicMarker

Great start from Arsenal.

amacachi

Saw Koscielny tooling about and the usual happened, and the even more usual almost happened.

greendom

Great pace from Nasri - shame about the cross

amacachi

Full-blooded pass there by Lampard.

Does Cech still need that head-guard? Is it permanent?

I'm sure someone else knows more than me but I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of a confidence thing.

I think it's just a precausion .He prob more vunrable than others to head damange from another clash.or maybe it's just a good luck charm at this stage

Manc-Red

Early doors but this one has a draw written all over it

I think it was insurance reasons.

He is only covered to play if he is wearing it because of his previous accident.

IvySlayer

Terry with his usual holding back players :P

The stuff terry gets away with is ridiculous.

J. Marston

Lovely header down by Drogba.

IvySlayer

No peno, but should've been a free outside of box.

OPENROAD

Penalty!!

DOC09UNAM

Well caught from Cech.

IvySlayer

Jaysus Clichy is bad atm.

Raskolnikov

Clichy having a howler again.

flahavaj

As with most big games these days, the result is of far more interest than the game itself. Pretty tame stuff so far.

It's doubly funny because they'll call it a good tackle when it's blatantly not

Just seems to be an awful lot of fouls slowing the game down.
