Arsenal vs Chelsea
-
Currently .... Arsenal trailing Chelsea by 1-0
Henry hit the post .... , follow by a Van Persie's goal disallowed for Henry's offside . Then followed by that killer blow by Robben
Arsenal never looked like scoring at the moment ....
Now what ? Cole scored ...2-0 !
That summed up the match , Chelsea closed shop !!! -
Damned ref, WRONG offside calls on RVP and Cole.
Essien should have been sent off.
Chavski scum.. -
Bye bye Arsenal.
-
Gunners out of the race
can only look forward to CL -
A massive 20 points behind Chelsea.
Althou stil got one game in hand,Arsenal's title hopes are over.
Concentrate on CL.
But i just cant see Arsenla winning Real Madrid.
Another trophyless season? -
senderos should have gone off for the last man foul on robben too..and i wanted to strangle robben for passing when he sould have shot and vice versa..
lehmann fouled drogba in the penalty box.. -
true.. but none of the fouls were malicious.. unlike the chelski fouls...
this is getting very sinister

sux to be arsenal fan right now and feel really injustice. anyway wif arsene wenger's guidence, i believe arsenal can be stronger than ever after the young players learn from today's lesson.

Arsenal didn't match up to Chelsea when it really matter lah...Chelsea looked so comfortable...dictating the pace of the game for large periods of the game.Originally posted by 798:sux to be arsenal fan right now and feel really injustice. anyway wif arsene wenger's guidence, i believe arsenal can be stronger than ever after the young players learn from today's lesson.
Maybe it's just Karma for Pires' blatant diving and subsequent winning of penalties over the past few seasons. -
How come no one mention Lehman foul on Drogba in the box? Or Senderos's professional foul on Drogba?
How come these facts are conveniently left out?
To quote the Sao Paolo coach "If you lose,you always try to make excuses." -
It would have been harsh to award the penalty for Lehmann's foul on Drogba. But I agree that Senderos should have been sent off. VanPersie's goal was onside and should have counted. That could have changed everything.
Chelsea played a good game, finished off Arsenal on the counter attack. But again, they showed little class. Robben and Drogba, taking ages to walk off the pitch?( Even when you're 2-0 up, u gotta resort to these miser tactics? ), Joe Cole exaggerating a Campbell touch on his face and how can I forget Mourinho's refusal to shake the hand of Arsene Wenger? No class, no sportsmanship.
46 points before christmas, on top of the league, seemingly invincible, but no class. None at all. -
This was posted by Jeno in Sports forum and it is spot on
Chelski deserved to win this match... tactically, they got it spot on..
Arsenal tried to match Chelski man for man in the middle of the park.. by playing 5 across the midfield.. therefore leaving Thierry Henry alone on top..
Making him an easy target for Carvalho and Terry...
Although Wenger's track and buying record are among the best in the business... but sometimes, some of his tactics are just plain wrong..
Take the FA Cup last season.. yes they might have won it in the end.. but i would tot that they would learn the lesson of not playing 4-5-1...
To put it plainly, they were very much outplayed on that day in Cardiff..
Yesterday nite.. they played 4-5-1 again.. Guess what ? Yes.. they were outplayed again..
With every passing game , Chelski has shown great determination and desire to be fittingly called Champions.. In contrast , Gunners looked more likely to finish mid-table rather than Champions-elect...
Although alot of ppl (including me) do believe that Arsenal would resume normal service once again.. and get themselves into the top 3..
but if they were to carry on this kind of form.. we might be able to see another team in North London ruling the roost instead... Tottenham Hotspurs.. -
There is no question that Chelsea were the better team. They played a good game and won the game.
I just think that they had little class. -

the professionals prefers to call it gamesmanship..actually lotsa teams are doing that..Originally posted by aTasteOfVintage:There is no question that Chelsea were the better team. They played a good game and won the game.

All learn from the Southern Europeans.The Special One is Southern European by the way.Originally posted by stellazio:the professionals prefers to call it gamesmanship..actually lotsa teams are doing that..

they shud have jeered wenever that leg breaking killer tackling essien gets the ball. Then whole stadium kenna red for racist remark on fellow player
-
Maybe the rest of the cases I can understand. But having lots of teams doing it does not make it appropriate or characteristical of a respectful championship winning team does it?Originally posted by stellazio:the professionals prefers to call it gamesmanship..actually lotsa teams are doing that..
But which manager refuses to shake the hand of the losing team?
-
yea i was abit baffled by that incident too..but to shake wenger hand would probaly be more insulting to the both of them personally i guess..if i'm not wrong wenger and fergie never shook hands when man utd broke their unbeaten run too..in fact lotsa fighting..Originally posted by aTasteOfVintage:Maybe the rest of the cases I can understand.

You were wrong. They did shake hands. For like a nanosecond, but they did.Originally posted by stellazio:yea i was abit baffled by that incident too..but to shake wenger hand would probaly be more insulting to the both of them personally i guess..if i'm not wrong wenger and fergie never shook hands when man utd broke their unbeaten run too..in fact lotsa fighting.. -
i thought they only shook during the return leg man utd 4-2 victory..the battle of the buffet got meh?aiyah anyway not so important now,cause both didn't even wana give interviews..Originally posted by aTasteOfVintage:You were wrong. They did shake hands. For like a nanosecond, but they did. -
Anyway, it's different also. The manager of the winning team should offer the handshake. Mourinho just went into the dressing rooms. There was a lot of show boating as well on the sidelines.Originally posted by stellazio:i thought they only shook during the return leg man utd 4-2 victory..the battle of the buffet got meh?aiyah anyway not so important now,cause both didn't even wana give interviews..
Nevertheless, this is not the first time Jose and Chelsea have been labelled with the tag. So I'm not surprised. -
don't really like the idea of this..but chelsea has just ran away with the title already

Hmmm.. I see it from a different angle. I think its more like Arsenal have just ruled themselves out of the title race.Originally posted by beavan:don't really like the idea of this..but chelsea has just ran away with the title already
