to be fair to ballack, he has passed the ball well at times and set up the equaliser...but he is a passenger when it comes to defending and with maka and lamps looking slow due to age and maybe illness and terry obviously not 100 per cent fit we have struggled at times...i have never seen us look so open and disjointed...some of the credit has to go to arsenal, but we just didn't look our normal selves in the first half

 
More items are being thrown from the stands by Chelsea fans at the Arsenal players. Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas picks up a vegetable that misses him by inches.

From BBC Website

Incredibly dangerous stuff, flying celery. They make it sound like he was Neo in the Matrix dodging bullets

It's more than just an average game. He's doing nothing on the pitch, I thing it's the first time in my life that I actually understand what it feels like playing with a player down although it's 11 V 11 (but not for long if Essien keeps tackling like that...).

 
The pro-arsenal/anti-chelsea commentary was doing my head in Maksimov...mind you we are losingt he midfield battle...maka is lookin his age out there and combined with a pedastrian ballack defensively (offensively he's passed quite well) we look vulnerable...maybe lamps is still ill too cos he looks slow...we just didn't seem as hungry as arse and half-time has come at a good time for us...maybe a change in tactics is required to get us more solid and get more of the ball

If you can get it, listen to Smooth FM (102.2). Kerry Dixon is commentating and it's utter bliss compared to all the others. The mug on TalkSpite continually going on about Arsenal's "brilliant young guns" was doing my head in.

 
If they must throw something, it's better that it's celery and not coins, cigarette lighters...or scooters!

I would but normally there is the timing issue when combining tv and radio...so you hear what's happening before it happens, so i will stick with the nob-ends

 
maka off for robben, right decision I think...maka was very unlike maka...no injury, it was tactical

 
Spot on Brit with your thoughts, but it is so frustrating listening to gray what a total w**ker.Ballack has impressed me with his passing but the MF is simply not imposing itself on the game.They all look a little lost.

 
From the Beeb:

HALF-TIME: It's no surprise that the players leading our player ratings - voted for by you - are goalscorers Didier Drogba for Chelsea (7.48) and Arsenal's Theo Walcott (8.22). Michael Ballack has not impressed you Blues, bottom of the ratings with 5.48, while Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia has been given an average score of 5.96. Poor lad.

All my hopes for this game are pinned on Robben at the moment

 
Jose is a fkin idiot for rushing terry back today. And now looks whats happened.

 
Terry just got booted right on the chin. He's completely unconcsious

That had nothing to do with his previous injury....You think that helped him get kicked in the ****** face?
