Oh Rob you're gonna have to make it to the Bridge again soon!  I remember your really cool picture of you at the Shed Wall.  Probably a few years back now wasn't it?

true it has been a while & I want to come back for some of London's Pride & cheap Waitrose Scotch. I might be able to make that happen. If not I will send my better half & she will have to represent

Maybe I'm been harsh but watching MOTD I think Tibo should have saved Giroud's goal.

Wenger moaning about the first goal, no way is that a foul.

That Hazard goal man I can't stop watching it!

Just a quick reminder remember when Klopp said that we must be frustrated that we won 13 in a row and we were only 6 points ahead of them 

YUUP THEY HAVENT WON A LEAGUE GAME SINCE THOSE COMMENTS.. Bunch of FRAUDS

Have we all seen that play where matic just wanders past ozil and Sanchez in the centre circle, the perfect few seconds to highlight just how much Wenger let's his players off with, which is why they are now such a sh*tshow 

Wenger was banned from the technical area but everyone saw him communicate with the bench just fine using a device giving them instruction so the question is what's the point of that ban in the first place? Proof that some people still living in stoneage or maybe they're just lazy to think of a punishment that does actually matter..

Apparently, they don't award any points for possession stats.

And besides....why not let em' have a bit of the ball - all that exquisite passing.....

I would say this though, Arsenal are by far the weakest team we've played this season physically. It was literally men against boys and I honestly don't remember the last time we played a team where we dispossessed them so easily.

That really is a big difference and always been the problem with Wenger. When they were good they had muscle. Since then Arsene only bought small players with little muscle. I don't get how he doesn't see this. I know he doesn't like it but it is there for everyone to see.

Look at Alonso v. Bellerin.

It's not a lack of muscles, it's a lack of heart.

 

A great day and result yesterday. Always great to beat the Gooners. One of my brothers-in-law is an Arsenal fan so I will give some stick when I see him next. My seat is in the MHU and I had a great view of Hazard's goal. What great strength, skill and movement. One of the finest goals I've ever seen from a Chelsea player. As for Kante what incredible energy and stamina he has. And of course after the game we had a few beers to celebrate.

Can't say enough about Hazards goal scored about 1:00 am Sydney time. For once I was fully happy I was glued to the tv. That's a goal that would make a top five list in any premier season I can remember.

We played well but might still have made more of those final passes.

Alonso has had a great season. Matic and Kante as expected bossed the midfield.

Spurs winning was the only disappointment.

Only two of the back 5 the same as last season and two bought only on the last day or two of the transfer window as cut price second and third choices. And yet what shrewd buys and what a fantastic unit they have been each complementing the others.

Now we have to grind out results in the next half a dozen games.

Well done for helping create a superb atmosphere.

Game after game those possession stats are not in our favour, but on we go, win after win after win,......... i can't understand why some fans treat that stat like some kind of holy grail of football.

Only on the wind up, don't nibble!!

This was called. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT...Not only did the players show Le Arse what becoming champions again is all about, but the fans were splendid too...I love Antonio..The way he becomes a wild shed boy interacting with his fans...Sorry Jose, loved you too and youll never be forgotten, but Conte is chelsea..( well. For now anyway)

The team which still worries me are Spurs. They have only lost twice all season and have an easier run-in than us. We need Liverpool to take points off of them next weekend and for us to beat Burnley. Then we will be in a better position to lift the title. Let's hope Liverpool turn up and let's hope we turn up too.

I don't think anyone can be doubt that we're playing reactively this season but without CL next season we risk regressing further so I couldn't be happier with the way things are going. We're playing football that accumulates points. If we played like a Liverpool team trying to emulate Pep's Barcelona and lost 2-0 to Hull I'd take 42% possession any day of the week.

Saw some Gooner comment saying they still beat us on average 4-3 over the season cause they scored 

Edited February 5, 20179 yr by Bobbywoodhogan

Spurs have europa league coming up so I expect them to drop off a bit. Anyway, our next 6 games are against teams outside the top 6 and with our impressive record, I expect us to get full points.

Have to cling to something mate poor old sausages  I saw the big lump with the tattoo of a clock on his neck goes by the name DT on arsenal fan TV, usually bullies the little arsenal fans when they lose, yesterday there was a 6'7 Chelsea fan behind him antagonising him for the whole interview which pacified him haha

True. I forgot about the Europa Cup.
