Closed Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal

[Polo7 3,496]

get your facts right and then start an argument. please. 100 passes, 10 long balls, 4 unsuccessful ones and 86% passing. which means 10 other unsuccessful passes and i would love to see which areas of field it was in.

i am happy that we won and city lost. also, i gave my opinion of what i thought our players were. people are quoting me (like you are), i am not individually forcing you too. also, lets leave the fan boyism out of the conversation and accusing someone of being unhappy that chelsea won.

Im sorry dude Im going to have to put you on my ignore list. 6 hours later you are still complaining about Fabregas even though he had a brilliant game.

Watched the 2nd half of City v. W. Ham.

The Hammers were kicking the ball high in the air.

City had some fluency we don't seem to have but no balls, they are the perpetual losers.
I liked their movement down the flanks, even though it produced no result for them. We used to play like that.

Did you miss the long shots today? Even Zouma took a shot. But the team is still not flowing and they took shooting from outside the box too far. It was forced. It will probably take a couple of games still before automatic pilot kicks back in and things will go about naturally.

It's not and it never has been. Arsenal and Utd aren't that good, Liverpool and Tottenham are decent at best. That's why I was never worried about finishing outside the top 4. The only failure is allowing to let the title go so easily.

But I agree with you, a positive result doesn't mean all is well. But I'll take any good result in this poor form. Chelsea were never going to blow away Arsenal or even win with more comfort after losing against the likes of Everton and Palace and a proper beating from City.

What happened has happened. The poor start can not be erased. Get some more wins, preferably and ideally consecutively, and then start looking at performances in general.

United got do many new players, they are not ready yet.

What can I say about Arsenal? The club lacks ambition. Some figures released this week revealded they have enough money to spend big. A club with ambition would never let Wenger stay for so many years. Its clear he passed his best. Arsen + Arsenal is not working anymore. Every single season is the same thing: Arsenal produce good football for 6 months. Some seasons they start really strong but lost peformance in the second half of the season, or they had a poor start before playing the best football of the league, but in a moment they can get no better than 3rd.

Last season Arsenal was the best team in the second half of the season. Scored more points and goals than anyone else. I thought theu would have a strong start this season and would win the league. Actually the quality is shocking. They looked really weak during the match against us, Russian Premier League material. I mean, as soon as they were down to 10 men, it was clear the outcome of the match.

Arsen Wenger is really bad for Premier League. Its not a good sign when one of league's teams became specialist in producing embarrassing moments in Europe. Mourinho was completely right about Wenger, he is a failure specialist. Its shocking Arsenal fans are not asking for his head, I think they are used to being a joke.

So all in all, improved display today. best we have been all season on both ends. still far from what we are capable of but a nice step in the right direction.

Ivanovic was back to his old self which means. no perfection but a combative display. he even delivered 2 good crosse. i was dumbstruck.

Azpilicueta was an absolute beast tho. anyway, our defensive shift was improved. arsenal even with 11 men had close to zero chances, i only remember the sanchez one and a couple of half chances like that walcott shotlet. our high line dominated them all game, no wonder we had all the posession.

Fabregas whipped in a delightful freekick for zouma to crown his motm display with a brilliant header.

midfield and attack were decent in passing but still lack decisivness in the final third. esp, the front 3 were misfiring. with that and our midfield improving, i can see us becoming one of the better teams in europe again.

also matic played a brilliant 2nd half.

And we're second on the list. Man City v West Ham first.

obviously you don't watch gooner fan tv. Their fans were calling for his head ever since that 6-0 defeat at the Bridge in 2014. Hell Piers Morgan is always calling for le voyeur's head on twitter. Then you add this last transfer window when the goonies didn't even buy a outfield player. Many gooner fans are frustrated with le voyeur. however most Chelsea fans want Wenger to stay

Arsenal did look good. But it's always easier to look good when you've been written off and when the real pressure to win every match isn't there. In athletics, Justin Gatlin clocked a faster time than anyone. But when the final came, he was beat by Usain Bolt. Usain's time to win the World Championship was slower than Gatlin's time in one of the previous rounds. Gatlin wasn't capable of producing that time when he felt that heat in his neck.

That's Arsenal for me at the end of the day. They have a good team. Good options in most positions (for some reason they passed up the opportunity to strengthen in the areas they needed a quality injection though). Like you said, Wenger and Arsenal doesn't work anymore.

I do think the people in charge of Arsenal are more interested in making money than winning trophies though.

Chelsea win and Chelsea man Victor Mosses helps sink City at their home

Perfect weekend in a long long long time.

All that hate from Arsenal fans. I love it

checkout Jason's links....someone always post those videos on here for some laughs - there are some epic rants today

Hopefully this win will have an impact on the players and the season, it was nice seeing them smile again. What I also loved and still has not been said here, us trying to shoor outside the box. In the last game it was horribly painful watching us trying to combine in the box, instead of smashing it. It seems Matic's screamer at the Goodison might have changed something. Even Cesc had several shots and boy we know he just never does that and passes instead. A couple of those shots were blocked but at least the players were not afraid to hit the ball.

And by the way, it is a real fun reading this topic and comments of some members here

It reminds me when we beat those tosspots in the 2004 Champions League. The next day i was still drunk and in the local with my mates. The London news came on with a report on the game. The woman in the studio was partially blocking some of the banner headline so what it said was Sunken Arse. Cue raucous laughter from all us Chelsea boys. The icing on the cake after a brilliant night.

Oh no, I totally accept that, however I think he's becoming too obsessed with riling players rather than scoring goals.

True. On the other hand, why wouldn't he? The fans cheer him, the manager praises him (and probably instructs him to do exactly what he does), the referees don't punish him.

[Jase 43,479]

I know we have gained extra 3 points today but we started the weekend in 16th and could still end it in 16th. It feels a tad depressing in some ways.
