Arsenal vs Chelsea: Match Thread.

They better not call the game off, it's just wind and some rain, big deal! Plus according to reports it's supposedly going to get a bit better in the evening before getting bad in the night.

 

Whether very windy and wet at the moment in my part of London but roads not overly difficult so i assume trains are fine?

 

remember me? good luck arsenal tonight just beat they blues. a very happy christmas gooners everywhere.just get back on top where you belong! floreat salopia!

 

when did you last see that git mourhino smile? was it when he caught his thumb in the car door.

 

Maybe I haven't watched him lately but he always seemed to be smirking in his pre-match press conferences.

 

It's starting to get quite bad here in croydon.

 

Welcome back

 

I would've thought you'd want the game called off, given that it would solve the "unfairness" of our schedule not having to play Man City and Chelsea back to back.

 

So it can be re-inserted during a worse time?

 

It's windy in North London and it's raining, but I can't imagine they would call the game off for this.

 

Latest from the premier league website says no change yet .

I'm in east London and I'd hardly call the weather serious. It's just a little blowy with some rain.

 

Is it ever anything but bad in Croydon ?

 

Knowing what pussies the FA are, wouldn't surprise me if the game is called off.

 

It'll go ahead People will already be on their way to the game.

 

You think they give a toss about Joe Q Public? Bunch of money grabbing

Not everybody is a pessimist Kyle

 

Big game for both of you, normally I'd go for a Chelsea win, but they look weaker than they have in recent years and you look stronger, so I think it's either arsenal win or draw, however I also think this is the race for 2nd place because City are getting better and better under pelligrini and I think they'll just be too strong for both of you over the season.

 

We simply have to start this game at full tilt and go for Chelsea. We need to be quick and incisive with our passing and not be afraid to shoot. We cannot afford to dither on the ball and allow Chelsea to get back in numbers and defend. Also we need to press Chelsea when they have the ball and force them into mistakes, we can't allow them time to build attacks and dictate the pace of the game

Basically the exact opposite of our approach to the City game.

 

lol , have you EVER seen that yet , we dont do that .

it will be the usual " dont need to try till we are one down " baloney
