Are our rivals about to catch or overtake us?

What happened to the years of laughing at us at how Cesc goes missing in big games but Lamps always showed up

Cesc did go missing in big games.

Now he's got Mourinho.

Happy days.

He played well against you lot, I recall. Or does that not count as a 'big game' anymore because it's so easy for us nowadays?

 

You can play it down as much as you like, but Arsenal made a catastrophically embarrassing decision not going back for Fabregas. 

 

Edit: Ozil best 10 in the world  :biggrin:  cheeky little wind up merchant. Not even the second best 10 in London.

Mesut Ozil is the best 10 in the world easily, not even the 2nd best 10 in London? are all your fans born retarded? like wtf man be logical, His superlative performances are not for the untrained eye. There is a reason we went on a title challenge for so long with him, without him? just look at the table this season....

 

Secondly JoeyN, Jack is a special special player, terrific start to the season, England and Arsenal. What did Cesc do v City? Jack absolutely destroyed them and picked up a MOTM award. I'm not a wind up merchant I don't have enough time to be trolling I'm here to interact with Chelsea fans and football fans in general, so please cut out the trolling and be logical.

You're bitter that you don't have him.

 

Do you honestly believe that 'hold me back' Jack Wilshere is better than Fabregas? I believe Cesc has more assists this season than Jack has in his entire top flight career.

 1. It's not Wilshere's role to assist, such a simpleton you are. Jack role is get the ball from deep and start off the attack which he does so well, world class ability but Injuries keep holding him back. Sergio Ramos has more career goals than Iniesta? what is your point. Love the way Chelsea fans use stats but when the same stats are used to destroy Hazard you have all sorts of excuses, be consistent please.

Ben Foster flapping at a cross like a big girl's blouse to help gift City a win yesterday and WBA missing some glorious chances show that City, along with their generous Christmas fixtures, are getting the rub of the green right now.

Bearing in mind they've still got some pretty tough away games to come in the 2nd half of the season I am still very confident about us, JT, Matic, Fabregas, Oscar, Hazard and Costa are all playing well and so I don't think we are relying on any one player.

Cesc did go missing in big games.

Yeah because Jose really solved it v City, Liverpool and Utd didn't he? Bloke had Wenger, Pep before him and neither could get him to bar the odd game like he did in the 3-1 v Chelsea at the Emirates.

Mesut Özil has 90 assists in all competitions since 2009, more than any other player in the world.

Again, he had Mourinho.

You need to pay more attention.

Good player, but no where near Cesc's, Matic's level. On par with Ramires perhaps. Perhaps.

So when Ozil doesn't provide in big games, you say his contribution is 'not noticeable to the untrained eye', but when Cesc doesn't provide an assist, he's gone invisible.

 

Ok m8

Ozil has produced v Napoli,Dortmund, Utd and LFC at home. There is a reason big game players who bossed El Clasicos don't do it at Arsenal, Wenger! also look who Ozil is feeding and who Cesc is? you can't have it both ways Either its Wenger or the team, both can't be the problem especially as we get top 4 every year.

He's masturbating over the prospect of Lampard denying us the Premier League. The legion of Arsenal players who left and sought success elsewhere has made him bitter. Can't blame him really. I would be bitter too. 

f**k me, even some of our supporters have got the city blinkers on. I would be concerned if they were playing sublime football, untroubled by teams and coming away with 3 or 4-0's every game, but truth is, they can slip up just as much as anyone. Right now we look extremely solid, and I would have thought that coming away with a win at stoke and a win against a very good west ham would put some confidence into our supporters.

They got a goal from a penalty and a goalie error against a relatively poor WBA, where they still conceded.  The WBA we played was much better and we still won by 2 goals, as they City, but we kept a clean sheet and got those goals against Foster in a game where, for that matchonly, you could utter the phrase "World class performance".  Silva is also in the form of his life but I doubt that lasts long in the winter, I hope.  I still think the lads havent hit their highest gear.  I just feel City's end will run and it will have a huge affect on their form, making them drop further points especially if Aguero and Yaya are unavailable.

Chelsea have already peaked, Cesc goes missing in big games and tough away fixtures as usual. His 2nd half is only going to get worse, bar assists from set pieces his overall contribution will slump. Man City? they are far from peaked, how many games have they won on the trot without Silva? now its 9 games win streak without Aguero? played Milner as a false 9 and still slapped 3 past a team. However the league could be lost the day Yaya goes to AFCON. Hopefully Lampard stays and does the business for them. How good would it be if FRANK LAMPARD cost you the league? unreal.

Already peaked?  Was that before our first loss of the season or now, during another 5 game winning streak?  Which peak?  9 game win streak without Silva?  Who scored that third goal for city against WBA?  I swore it was in Silva.  I remember it was now, I recall just reading an article talking about how Silva is in the form of his life, odd he can be that from the treatment table (played 4 of the last 9 getting 3 goals).  And yes Aguero has missed the last 3 BPL matches where City managed against the mighty WBA, Crystal Palace and Leicester.  Boy thats a clean sweep of the 15th, 18th and 20th placed teams on the table.  Ya Milner put on a spectacle from the front, a Foster howler that Fernando scored luckily, a penalty and Silva, the injured guy who missed the game, some how got the third.  Funny, we didnt do too bad playing a whole season without a striker last season.  No credit?

 

Must be sad when you follow a "big club" but have to hope, at Christmas time, that another club can do the business for you because your club is already out of the title race ( or is it because Wenger has never beaten Mourinho and this guy knows it will never happen?).  Know this kiddo, even if City wins it, Chelsea will still be above you.  Enjoy your CL footy this year, might be the last of it for a while lad.

 

Mesut-Ozil.png

World class talent.  One of the best in the world.  Could dictate the attack in the biggest games.  Then he went to Arsenal.  Been missing ever since.  Kind of you to put up posters for this boy from Germany who has been lost in London.

 

Very Mature of you to reply to my points with an image of the best 10 in the world. Just shows you got nothing to say.

That picture is Ozil, not Lionel Messi.  You should recognize him, he signed for your club right before he went missing.  They are both short with brown hair, tans and dark eyes but if you watch the football they are very easy to tell apart.  Actually, it might help someone of your persuasion to tell them apart by how pretty, but different, their boots are.  I can tell you notice these things in a game, and not the actual game.  How else could you still watch Arsenal without cutting yourself?

 

Mesut Ozil is the best 10 in the world easily, not even the 2nd best 10 in London? are all your fans born retarded? like wtf man be logical, His superlative performances are not for the untrained eye.

Oh buddy, the only person who thought Arsenal was in a title challenge last season was Arsenal fans.  I recall around Christmas when gooners where whining why they werent being taken serious as title challengers despite sitting top of the table for so long.  Well know you know why, just as everyone else knew why.  Cause your crap team is lead by a weak unimaginative manager who cant keep it together under pressure.  You can flat track bully the small sides but when AFC faces a big team, such as CFC, they become the bullied.  What did Cesc do?  Get more assists in his short time with CFC than Wilshere has his whole footballing career. 

 

 1. It's not Wilshere's role to assist, such a simpleton you are.

Funny, Wheelchair Jack and Cesc have the exact same role apparently.  Cesc just does things like break records with the amount of assists he can get.  Ok, according to your stats Ramos is a better goal scorer than Iniesta.  I can buy that, our club also has CB's who can get in the goals in a big way.  Funny thing about stats, they also say Cesc is a better footballer than Wilshere in every way, including tackling which Cesc allegedly cant do.  Wilshere is good for a laugh, when he is doing his hardman impression LOL.

 

Yeah because Jose really solved it v City, Liverpool and Utd didn't he? Bloke had Wenger, Pep before him and neither could get him to bar the odd game like he did in the 3-1 v Chelsea at the Emirates.

He had both those managers and still, Cesc is playing his best ever football under Mourinho, not Pep or Wenger.  Just like Ozil played his best ever football under Mourinho, not Wenger,  Amazing that Le Proffesuer of Le Amazing, Le Attacking, Le Beautiful game, just cant seem to get players to tick offensively as the mean nasty, anti-football, bathes in babies blood Mourinho.  Simply put, that Jose guy is just on another level.  Really, its like comparing Wheelchair Jack to the fantastic Cesc Fabregas.  Only a moron or a deluded fool would do it.   The facts simply make it too one sided to be a legitimate debate.

 

Mesut Özil has 90 assists in all competitions since 2009, more than any other player in the world.

Actually if you go to 09/10, his last season with Werder Bremen, Ozil has 100 club assists.  17 with Werder Bremen, 67 with Real Madrid, 16 with Arsenal.  Every season under Mourinho, Ozil got over 20 assists.  Hasnt happened once before or since. As mentioned, world class no 10 under Mourinho.  World class magician under Wenger, cause he does that dissappearing trick better than Houdini himself,

 

Ozil has produced v Napoli,Dortmund, Utd and LFC at home. There is a reason big game players who bossed El Clasicos don't do it at Arsenal, Wenger! also look who Ozil is feeding and who Cesc is? you can't have it both ways Either its Wenger or the team, both can't be the problem especially as we get top 4 every year.

Oh the big games eh? Sorry, we talking Liverpool this year when your lads got played off the pitch but still won or last year when LFC put 5 past ya? Beating a relegation zone team from Germany, Bravo!  Beating two BPL sides who were struggling in the bottom half, Bravo!  Beating Napoli?  Bravo, but weve been there and done that when they had a far better team.  We actually have a certain CL trophy to remember that with.  How will your team remember beating Napoli?  Probably next year, when Napoli is playing in the group stages and Arsenal are not.

 

But with your bias and facts, Wenger will probably need you in the board room to keep his job unless your massive club is satisfied with a domestic cup once a decade.

Said a few weeks ago and I'm not sure if many will agree, but if it came down to it I would rather United won it over City.

Couldn't bear seeing Lampard win the league, or any trophy actually, with them. 

 

Utd are not good enough to win the league right now, there 10 points behind us ffs. Utd will be in better shape to challenge next season.

How has this c**t troll not been banned yet?

So we have been to United, Liverpool,Everton, Newcastle,Stoke,City?

Who have City played away? I think their fixtures in January are looking tough..

I think we have to be prepared for the fact City will probably overtake us at some point. They are certainly proving difficult to shake off. However, we are over the halfway point and I have fresh confidence we can beat them to the title.
