    also....HAVE TO SAY.

    WTF is VAR doing? There were some SHOCKING challenges by Chelsea that were worthy of a red.

    ...and of course our penalty was never really a penalty.

    Well well well.... Never saw that coming! 3 weak loses in a row, then this! :)

    Stunning team performance considering the previous loses and mental fragility we suffer from, Herculean stuff that!

    VAR was wrong with the penalty but 4-2 was easily a fair result! COYG

    Yeah none of us saw that coming.

    Totally deserved on that performance though

    Still in with a chance for Top4

    That NLD is gonna be winner takes all

    Agreed, but I do think the weekends game against Manure now becomes massive... 3 points please! Win that and I believe we will have the required momentum to hopefully take us one step closer to being favourites for 4th.

    Utd are in wretched form. And we should go into that game with renewed confidence

    It's a game we need to be winning and hopefully that win tonight against one of the top 4, will get the monkey off our backs about always losing to the big teams

    Still reckon it's all gonna come down to that NLD though. But Spurs still have to go to Anfield so hopefully Liverpool will take all 3 points there.

    Oh and we were so much better with Elneny and Xhaka in holding MF positions.

    Xhaka was excellent today as was Smith Rowe.

    Can we do it two games on the trot? because a win at United is now essential.

    In just 18 days...

    Southampton 0 Chelsea 6

    Southampton 1 Arsenal 0

    Chelsea 2 Arsenal 4

    You should murder United but this season nothing makes any bloody sense.

    We've only taken 19 points off the current top 10 clubs...in 15 games...yet we have taken 7 points off the top two in just 3 games.

    Just glad I ain't in gambling tbh <laugh>

    Gonna be a stressful ending to the season tbf

    Wow - definitely didn't see that coming, and even less so after I saw the starting line-up <laugh> <diva>

    What a monumental result. It doesn't make up for the 3 consecutive losses we just had, but it could prove to be a big 3 points nonetheless.

    We need to follow this up with a win against Man Utd though. No point beating Chelsea and then subsequently dropping points the next game.

    Let's see what we can do.

    This is what gives me hope that you can still monumentally **** it up.

    And I will be there to remind you on the daily if you do :)

    We **** it up <laugh>

    Piskie forgetting to mention they were 3 points ahead with 2 games in hand after we lost to united by pretending they are the plucky under dogs <laugh>

    As for you reminding us every day of your warped memory...no one doubts you'll chat ****e mate.

    I'm used to disappointment so it'll just wash over me.

    Don't think anyone saw that result coming.

    Gives you an advantage as we still have to go to anfield and we ain't beaten Liverpool since October 2017 and have only won 4 times at Anfield since the Titanic sank!

    If we both win all our other games it means you can draw the NLD and come above us, whereas we'll have to win it.

    Can't see Chelsea throwing away a 5 point lead and a game in hand over us both so it'll all be a norf london heart break for one set and brag city for the other.

    This is Spurs and Arsenal we're talking about. The types of teams who smash four away at Chelsea and Villa but lose at home to Brighton.

    Morning mate. Bit stressful atm. My old dear has some heart problems that are being assessed, so it’s all a bit unknown at the moment.

    It’s all come just as I’m about to go into the busy period with work too.

    How are you keeping fella ?
