Woah...just goes to show you should take your chances. Arsenal have been dominant!

Aaaaaaaarrrggghhhh!!

Arsenal showed against Man Utd that they lose too much heart when they go behind to have a good enough chance to get back into games, whereas Chelsea, Man Utd and especially Liverpool have all made sensational comebacks this season.

So today the first goal was going to be the all-important one. If Arsenal got it Chelsea still could have won the game but it would have been difficult against an Arsenal side full of confidence, who for the first twenty minutes were at the best they've been all season. Arsenal would had got it if Diaby hadnt intercepted Fabregas' attempt at goal.
But if Chelsea got it it was game over as far as Im concerned.

So what frustrates me more than anything is that Chelsea's first goal came from that slimy, cheating scumbag Drogba - yes he was tapped lightly on the boot, but he was stationary! There is simply no way a guy like Drogba gets brought down by a very weak tap on the foot (you can tell it was weak by the fact Fabregas tried to move his leg away when he realised he wasn't going to get the ball).

Again, Drogba has cheated his way into a free kick by dropping like a sack of stones at the first sign of minimal contact, and poor Fabregas ends up with a yellow card. Even in the replay you can see Drogba's weight shifting to the floor starting with the shoulders, as if he's had his legs sweeped out from under him!

I dont want to take anything away from Anelka's goal because it was a fabulous strike (although I still think Almunia would have had it covered), but as far as Im concerned that first goal meant a Chelsea win on this occassion.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cursing:
Chelsea cheat their way into results constantly and when it doesn't work they wait til the ref's back is turned and kick someone in the back or pull them to the floor! I wish they'd get hacked by some superhacker who steals all their finances and makes Abramovich bankrupt so they go into administration and we never have to see their unsporting, cheating @sses ever again!!!

Annoyed Much Barca? :P

You raise a good point about Drogba, I just try to laugh at him, saves me getting all frustrated!

Well that ruined my prediction...Arsenal have got a goal back.

Bloody Hell!
It would be Toure that scores an own goal wouldn't it?

I hate Chelsea but after Arsenal went 3-0 down I actually wanted to see Chelsea hammer them into the ground.

Because Wenger in my opinion has lost the plot, I knew he wouldnt have a good season this year because he refuses to buy older, more experienced players and more importantly refuses to buy a holding midfielder and a new centre half.

I was completely gobsmacked when he signed Arshavin! Not that he's not a great player but why on Earth would u sign yet ANOTHER attacker when you have such an enormous defensive problem?!?

So I actually hope Wenger gets sacked because after having been saying these things myself for ages, FINALLY the board will be forced to take notice because against the top four this season they've been embarassing. I would hate to be an Arsenal fan right now!
