For Saturday, I predict the following team:

-------------------------------Big Pete---------------------------

----------------Bosingwa - Iva - Terry - Cole------------------

-Ramires(if he's not fit, then Meireles) - Mikel - Lampard-

------------------Sturridge - Torres - Mata--------------------

Spot on.

Can't wait!

Best league in the world mate.

What a first half, I was screaming and cheering. Thankfully the latter outweighed the former.

Great all round performance, but our defending looks a little edgy. I'm sure Villas-Boas will address that at half time though. Mikel.. well.. I'm not a huge fan. He constantly gives away needless freekicks and he failed to clear the ball which lead to Arsenal's first game. Put Meireles on.

It's been quite unlucky for Sturridge, he's shown a lot of promise though. We finally have a manager who wants to play him. He was unlucky not to get a clean contact on the ball which would have made it 2-0. Lovely to see Lampard and Terry score.

I hope we can hold this lead and build on it. Come on Chelsea!

Our defending is fucking shocking.

I rate Van Persie so high, but Arsenal depend on him a lot in regards to attacking. He's the powerhouse of their attack. Great hat trick.

Our defending was awful.

Great game by Arsenal.

Edit: I would like to see Abramovich leave Chelsea and Chelsea getting back where they belong. And that is the bottom half of PL. Come on Innovation, what you talk is crap.

Ouch.






Our defending was good for once

Lol, Chelsea weren't ever really a bottom half club.

What I said was straight after the game when I was still frustrated. It was a solid performance from Arsenal, but take a look at the last few games, you've depended on Van Persie to get you out of trouble constantly. That's why I said it. Obviously it's not all down to Van Persie, it was something said in the spare of the moment.

Amazing game to watch Chelsea VS Arsenal. Besides the Terry slip, most of the goals were genuine quality. EPL- best league in the world.

I saw the thread title & came in here to discuss the New England Patriots, what is this sandal wearing Real Madrid fuckery?

[xRas]

What.

Great goal, Johnson killed the game off

5 clear of the rags, 9 clear of Chelsea, 12 ahead of Arsenal. Good stuff.

you must be so happy since it never happened before.

Messi scored another hattrick within 30 minutes. He predicted that he'd score 3 goals after the first one.

I'm no longer convinced it's luck, it's fuckin rigged, no way United get Leeds United then Aldershot Town, then Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup, then get Oletul Galati, Basel and Benfica as teams in their groups, Something fuckin smells fishy!!

Been going on for far too long to be a coincidence. It's rigged.
