    Mourinho's gone a bit negative, hasn't he? Mata might be required to come on and rescue this one for them, I think.

    I'd take that!
    Be nice if we could have 2 comfortable home wins in our next 2 matches to put us right back in amongst the top 4. But we are Spurs we don't do easy!

    Cagey start in crap, blustery conditions. Boring so far.

    Fat Frank with the first big chance of the game and Arsenal get a lucky escape. Underside of the bar and the bounce avoided two Chelsea players waiting for a tap in.

    Nasty challenge by Mikel, late with studs up, followed by what should've been a penalty for Arsenal, as Walcott is fouled for no apparent reason.
    Some sloppy play as the conditions seem to be having an affect.

    Rosicky with a late, high, studs up tackle on Azpilicueta. Still no cautions, for some reason. Dean forgotten his cards, perhaps?

    Ramsey's having a shocker. Poor passing all game and he creates a good chance for Chelsea, breaking from their own half. 0-0 HT.

    Dean finally gets his cards out for a Ramirez foul on Arteta. Booked. Looks about right, which I can't say for a bunch of his other decisions.

    Bit of handbags resulting in an unintentionally funny comment:
    "Mezut Ozil's not happy with that. This could get ugly." <laugh>

    Mourinho twists first, somewhat bizarrely replacing Hazard with Shirley. :huh:

    80 minutes gone. Arsenal yet to have a shot on target. Still anyone's.

    Chelsea sum up Mourinho's tactics for this game by using their final sub to take off Torres and replace him with David Luiz. So, so negative.

    "And gives hope to those mid table sides who don't seem that far adrift after all"

    One game from the halfway point.
