Exclamation Arsenal and Chelsea.......today!

should be a brill game. KO 4pm, chelsea more or less full strength but arsenal missing important player, RVP for one.

Would ave been good to see them both battle at full strength but should be a brill game still

interesting to see how Arsenal handle Didier Drogba because in the past Drogba has been the different between the two side's.

Arsenal's consistency probs as usual, no good beating Chelsea and then losing/drawing a few afterwards. Too many lazy over paid foreign players that leave at the drop of a cheque book. Old fart's rant over with.

it's all about fagregas....

if chelski manage to rough him up and keep close enough to him then they'll have the edge, if not he'll boss the centre of the park and win the game for bumnal

It's not that Arsenal are inconsistant as such, more because they need to be able to win ugly and win the physical battles that some teams will use. In Song their getting there and that is why IMO they are closer and a better team, they are stil a CB CM and a striker short of being a serious title winner IMO. Today will be the toughest test for Vermalean (SP) in DD.

I'm looking forward to it today and hopefully a draw, or if not a Arsenal win.

Chelsea's defence is immense, coupled with Drogba's strength.

i thought we did well and 3 is a little generous imo. any other team in the PL and we would have got through the defence at least once

Certainly looking tough to score against us at the moment Dave, you had plenty of posession too.
Strange how last season we couldn't get a result against the other 3

we was great at getting into the final 3rd then played it out wide, then remembered no one can cross and that we have a short squad who cant head the ball. played in back in middle into Mikel,Essien and Lampard territory. No contest.

You look like scoring every time and defend. Terry looking like the old PL champion he was.

Least Drogba is in my dream team

Ref may as well not of bothered being on the pitch.

Boys beaten by the men in the end although could have been very different if the blind ref did his job

Bit confused, I personally didnt think we did that bad.

We passed well, dominated posession at times but we came up against the best defence in the league and a striker who loves(really ****ing loves) to play us.

1st goal was class, 2nd was unlucky on us(great ball in though) and 3rd was another moment of genius.

we lacked that final ball, something we havent done all season. only other team to stop us scoring was sunderland but we dominated them.

You lot know im first to pick up if we play bad if B2Z doesnt get there first. I dont think it was bad. Chelsea deserved it for the defence display and Drogba alone but as with the 4-1 game last year. i dont think you were 3 goals better

Slightly flattering score line, but yes, men and boys springs to mind.

Ok Arshavins should of stood but i reckon that Anelka may have been fouled in the box lol I cant tackle that well on a rugby pitch

Rosicky looked like he could be back soon and we need some of his killer *****. Walcott was a great impact sub for 12minutes untill they worked out how to play him(basically let him run with the ball then give it away)

watched the barca/real game after. Barca play the footy wenger wants to play. the 2 keepers were incredible.

We just came up against a defence that couldnt be broken down and a striker brimming with confindence

Didnt get to see the full game as i was travelling back from the fecking freezer that was Glasgow but caught it on MOTD. Chelsea look really good it pains me to say, i just hope your lead isn't too much come the ACON and we can pull some back on you

I have a feeling Fabregas will be off in the summer, a move to Old Trafford would be nice where he will win something
