    Looking forward to the game but it may not live up to the quality and excitement expected given that very high winds and rain are likely. Dare I say i say it may suit Chelsea more tonight?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    Or we could see a wind assisted Podolski piledriver. Kerpow.

    I believe it's "Podolski BANG" there Bill.


  • Registered Users Posts: 712 ✭✭✭SweepTheLeg


    Arsenal win i'd say, that's if Ozil is on form to assist Theo & hopefully Podolski.

    #Arsenal team to play Chelsea: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Özil, Walcott, Giroud

    Can see William having a great game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    chelsea : Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Willian, Hazard; Torres.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    My gut is saying Arsenal to win given those lineups, although haven't seen much of Chelsea this season.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    It's Mourinho's 4-3-3 as expected, slightly disappointed that Lampard gets the nod ahead of Oscar (who I'm convinced can play in there) but far more disappointed with Cahill starting ahead of David Luiz. That being said, I still think a Chelsea win is on the cards.

    In the Arsenal Supporters Club bar atm. Just leaving. Lot of positivity about the win

    COYG!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,424 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    1-1 for me. Chelsea might sneak it near the death, but has a draw in the making.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,363 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    that Chelsea bench is ridiculous.

    Mou can fúck off if he ever complains in any way, shape or form about his squad.

    Cole, Luiz, Oscar, Mata, Schurrle, Eto'o.

    Great line-up that. Look to see Flamini to make an impact late on if we are ahead


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,797 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Willian starting is interesting.

    Reckon this finishes 1-1, Giroud scoring first and Ivanovic heading home a late equalizer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,409 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Arsenal need a good start and no fcuk ups from the defenders. Koscielney will be sorely missed i feel.

    Giroux will get one good chance without a doubt, hope he finishes it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 712 ✭✭✭SweepTheLeg


    Mata has scored in his last 4 starts against Arsenal, surprised Mourinho has benched him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,363 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic

    you can't possibly be surprised.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Spanish Johnny


    Looking at that team I think (and am really hopeful) we will see Walcott play a lot of this game on the left.


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,409 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Surprised to see Luiz not starting, Walcott's pace could murder Terry and Cahill if he's on form. No Mata either.

    Willian deserves to start, he has played very well in the last few games.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,333 ✭✭✭bad2dabone


    As predicted the Mrs is going into labor it seems, so heading to the hospital now.
    You think the Arsenal will do the right thing and give us a win!

    Pretty good reason to miss the game. Congrats in advance! :D

    Hoping to see a few goals in this, can see Arsenal nicking it.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Do not, I repeat, do not ask her if she could have waiting another 2 hours before going into labour.

    Me too. Loads of Taytos, hang sandwiches, door bell disconnected, phone off, missus gone to her sisters. Great night in.
    Come on you Gunners.

    Mourinho ya loner :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    What's Mourinho doing there on his own ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,094 ✭✭✭Joeyjoejoe43


    I agree with some previous posters, draw written all over it, I'll go with 2-2 first scorer Lampard

    Arsenal have a 7% win percentage in games when Mike Dean is the referee :eek:

    Willian playing wide over Mata is baffling


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,409 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Some of the passing is crap.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,231 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Very sloppy from both sides so far

    Come on Ramsey concentrate


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,409 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Mezut Ozil in the team and Theo Walcott taking the corners.

    That side probably favors someone right footed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,996 ✭✭✭Duck Soup


    Chelsea are intent on stopping Arsenal getting into their passing rhythm. Evenly matched so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    Didn't Jose coin the phrase 'park the bus'?

    Hmmm.
