closed Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea

[Dan Lee 47]

We will win. Come on guys! The more you do analyses, the worst feelings occur. You talked too much about the negativity. We will be OK. You should have a belief in your team. Go Chelsea!!!!

Thing is there's so much emphasis on how bad Arsenal are,need to stop the rot etc but we're hardly setting the league on fire. No where near as bad as them but still had those 2 losses in a row and even though won Monday were hard to watch through it...so we need this much as they do. 

Just be more dramatic if they win..which they could. Or maybe win the game after and give us this one.

if we can't beat this Arsenal ..... would be disaster to our ambitions

Lampard reminisces a key moment in Chelsea-Arsenal rivalry that turned the tables

Frank Lampard reminisces his first win over Arsenal as a Chelsea player

According to the club’s official site, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has delved into memory to rekindle memories of his first win over Arsenal as a Blue.

Chelsea go into this weekend’s clash against the Gunners as overwhelming favourites. However, that was not the case back in 2004.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal had gone invincible the season before and were on their way to winning the title once again. Their chances of taking Europe by storm was put on hold when they took on Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals.

 

The first leg ended 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, setting the stage for a European classic at Highbury. Thierry Henry put the Gunners ahead before Frank Lampard himself brought the Blues level on the night and in the tie.

Wayne Bridge would go on to score a late winner and Chelsea would have their first win over Arsenal in 18 attempts.

“The evening was a turning point when we got that result because it gave us a huge amount of belief at that time.”

Having just been bought by Roman Abramovich, Chelsea were beginning to emerge as a force in English football. Lampard believes that night in Highbury gave the team the belief that they could push onto greater things.

“We were changing, we were young. That night gave us belief so it did push us on at that point..”

Lampard will hope that his young side will once again put the Gunners to the sword and emerge out of the game with a similar self-belief.

That landmark win in 2004 changed the dynamics of football in London. A power shift was on the cards and Stamford Bridge has since emerged as the pre-eminent team in the capital.

Arsenal have not won a Premier League since then, while the Blues have triumphed five times. More importantly, we also managed to go on and lift the Champions League in 2012.

Little did Bridge know how important his goal was to be to the club and its future.

 

Never seen Chelsea fans go so mental as when Wayne Bridge got that winner - except when Dixon scored at the Clock end at the old Highbury

"It's two games in two days, 48 hours," Lampard said. "I'm not trying to be clever, it's an important point for us because there are other teams that are challenging at the top of the league that play two games in three days.

"Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool play two games in three or four days. It's counterproductive for the quality of the Premier League, it's a risk for players if they are going to play both games at top-end elite sport, everybody knows that.

"And I know clearly what happened with this one as well; the game's being broadcast live as they all are now. And we play Arsenal on Boxing Day, and our game with Man City now has been pushed to the Sunday (January 3).

"So the schedule meant that we couldn't play, and Aston Villa also wanted to play on the Tuesday, they wanted an extra day, and so did we. But we got overruled by both the Premier League and the broadcasters.

 

Its a fucking disgrace

I don’t ever remember Arsenal fans wanting to lose to Chelsea to see Arteta get sacked. I don’t think Arteta will get sacked with a loss today. It is getting toxic with Arsenal fans. The last three pages of their game thread is a bit shocking.
