It was even worse earlier in the season when we played them.

Worse or not, the issue still remains. We played Scunthorpe, West Brom and Everton this past week and each of them repeatedly bypassed our midfield like it wasn't even there and found so much time and space to exploit between the lines. They didn't exactly have the qualities to exploit but give that to Arsenal, they will punish us.

Apart from the 2-0 last season at The Bridge, the form guide has favoured Arsenal almost every time we've played them in recentyears and we always get a result.

Well like you said, those were in 'recent years'. Our form (ignore the guide) and squad we have now is arguably the worst in years. No more guarantees that we will get a result against Arsenal.

They have such a raging inferiority complex against us, they had it even worse against United until LVG blew it.

That won't save us every time.

5 goals scored last 2 games but also 5 conceded.Arsenal had 9 men last time and way we're playing can't see us winning.be nice to be surprised but nah unless suddenly something changes this week gana be a long 90 mins. 

If results go against could be 16th going into this,be nice not to stay there

If Costa is fit, we'll get a draw.

Chelsea things being what they are now, fact is Arsenal are as useless as ever and Arsene Wenger is a specialist in failure.
Czech saves the day for them.
A Chelsea win is very much a possibility, in a match that traditionally ends in a draw.

At least pedro wont get bullied. As long as we contain their early pressure we shd be able to knick it.

[Muzchap 8,966]

3-1 to us 

hazard fit and will score, along with Costa - I'm thinking a random goal for the third, OG or maybe a Terry header... Or Ivanovic - just to please everybody

Lol, I'll put money on Courtois scoring before Hazard.

[Fulham Broadway 16,855]

Eight goals in the last three games -watch out you North London, replica shirt wearing over jumpers, inbred mongs.

[coolhead23 1,146]

I dont how ... whether we field a different 11 or get Drogs on loan for this match or replace the ref with a blue supporter, etc, etc  ... I dont want to see Arsenal win. By hook or by Crook, just dont want to lose this one. 

[manpe 10,861]

So, no Costa, no Hazard? We'll be lucky to get a draw.

Courtois
Azpi - Zouma - Terry - Baba
Mikel
Fabregas - Ramires
Willian - Remy - Kenedy

Eden Hazard set for return against Arsenal as Chelsea star recovers from groin injury.  (Mail)

Let's find out if Guus can pull off a Jose Mourinho (in the league) and beat those cunts.

I genuinely think the Mourinho record used to weigh heavily on our players' minds (for god knows what reason).

With José gone... So too should be the mental block

Biggest match of the season so far, imo, clash of the titans!
We could severely crush their title hopes, already pumped...at least it's a must not lose!
Arsenal's best chance to beat us in years, imo.

I'd bite your hand off for a draw right now! 

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Weird that if results go against going into this could be a point or so from the relegation zone rather then off the top..fun fun

 

 

[Kezza 1,965]

2 red cards and another offside goal please!

[Jase 43,479]

Swansea beat Watford. We're only 4 points and 4 places above the drop zone now. Could be down to 1 point and 2 places by the time we kick off at Arsenal on Sunday.

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear.
