Chelsea v Arsenal, 20:15 GMT (21/01, BT Sport 1)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea have had a big problem at home with teams that sit deep and break.

So that's us knackered then. :rose:

[Marc Overmars]

Us winning at Stamford Bridge. :lol:

About as rare as Old Trafford.

[Letters]

3-0

[GP]

0-3

[dazthegooner]

3-3 :unsure:

[Mac76]

3-1

[Letters]

Us scoring a goal :haha:
Meh, maybe. Zero chance we'll win, I'd be happy with a draw if only because it edges us closer to the coveted "most draws in a season" title :cool:

[KSE Comedy Club]

May as well chick Nketiah in the starting lineup with Martinelli and Laca and hope for the fuckin best.

We owe them a win for stealing 3 points at our gaff.

Apart from that I'm all a bit 'meh' this season now :shrug:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.
Subs: Caballero, Zouma, Alonso, Barkley, Mount, Pedro, Batshuayi.

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, David Luiz, Saka, Torreira, Xhaka, Pepe, Ozil, Martinelli, Lacazette.
Subs: Martinez, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Willock, Ceballos, Nketiah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sokratis has that Chinese virus I think.

[dazthegooner]

Mustafi :doh:

[Mac76]

Hector 's back at least

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BT's Chelsea love-in starts in five minutes.

[dostoy]

Luiz, Mustafi, Bellerin and an 18 year old who is not a left back trying to defend at Stamford Bridge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arsenal will need massive amounts of good fortune just to get a draw.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Keown, Joe Cole and Captain Rubberlips are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Emma'.

That can't be his nickname. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BT trying to build up Lampard v Arteta like it's Keane v Vieira.

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Arsenal. The wife and baby have gone out so I can watch this in peace. Don’t let me down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Shit 30 minute to start and a blazing remaining 60. :pray:

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Shit 88 minute to start and a blazing remaining 2 when we concede. :pray:

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This camera angle is going to change at some point right?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah there we go.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka :doh:

Sell him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka hammers the cross.

Good support though.

[Marc Overmars]

Saka has to do much better there. Simple ball across goal FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz with cultured defending on Tammy.

[Maestro]

press that dodgy keeper

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crap from Kepa.

[Maestro]

David Luiz with cultured defending on Tammy.

first time i've heard the words cultured defending said about an arsenal player in a decade

[Maestro]

Crap from Kepa.

he's a crap kepa

[Niall_Quinn]

Nervous start from the dirty chavs. We need to sit back and let them get settled.

[Marc Overmars]

Mustafi takes one straight in the nuts. :lol:

Good block tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great football from Chelsea.

Great block from Mustafi.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ballsy block by Mustafi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Didn't think that would possibly cause an injury for Mustafi.

[Maestro]

now that was cultured and brave from Mustafi

[Maestro]

Didn't think that would possibly cause an injury for Mustafi.

:geek::d i see what you did there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lovely defending from Christensen!

Would've been dangerous for us otherwise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heavy touch from Garrincha.

[Maestro]

pepe really needs to sort himself out and stop losing the ball so frequently

[Niall_Quinn]

Bloke called Tammy should have scored. We need to defend those tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tammy straight at Leno.

[Maestro]

captain hector

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hudson-Odoi nearly flukes it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mishit chav cross almost goes in. We could do with getting into this game at some point.

[Maestro]

leno looking sharp, but needs more protection

ozil is a waste ...yes i'm biased

[Maestro]

fair play to our travelling mob, they sounding out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That didn't look difficult for Ozil to get there.

[Maestro]

come on saka

[Maestro]

captain hector's positioning is well suspect for someone who doesn't have recovery pace

[Maestro]

that's more like it pepe, now keep at him and he will get his red

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Emerson booked.

Pepe. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder if an injury to Sokratis has kept Mustafi here. Lucky escape for the Turks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not so good from Pepe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hudson-Odoi. :haha:

[Maestro]

i am seriously not trusting bellerin

[Marc Overmars]

Mustafi fucks it all up.

Luiz sent off.

What a joke.

[Thierrymon]

Luiz you fuking idiot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mustafi loses us the game. Well done mate! You're back!

[Maestro]

sack mustafi tonight

game over

[Marc Overmars]

Get out of our club you fucking waste of space.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi FFS.

David Luiz sent off. Fuck off. He's going away from goal!

[fakeyank]

Luiz you fuking idiot.

I am sure you meant Mustafi

[Marc Overmars]

Luiz you fuking idiot.

Not his fault at all. Desperate attempt to make up for the wankers mistake.

[Maestro]

take ozil off and out hoding on and we'll be no worse off numbers-wise

[Maestro]

Luiz you fuking idiot.

NO

Mustafi with the mental hospital back pass. Luiz had no choice

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Jorginho.

[Bumble]

take ozil off and out hoding on and we'll be no worse off numbers-wise

Is ozil playing?

What the hell mustafi.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'd seriously consider subbing Mustafi off for nobody. We're better off down to 9 than having that twat try to defend as part of a 10 for an hour.

[Maestro]

Take Ozil off now please

[Maestro]

Is ozil playing?

What the hell mustafi.

Ozil does not play for us, he trains with us during our matches

[Globalgunner]

The more you play Mustafi..the less chance you get of being able to sell him.

[fakeyank]

If Mustafi plays one more game for Arsenal, then we need to sack the manager and the entire board.

[Özim]

All the blame on Arteta here, why play Mustafi, Holding should have started.

[Bumble]

Take Ozil off now please

But who will create all our chances. We have scored more goal than villa this season so far and are currently behind a team who lost 9-0

[Niall_Quinn]

This is going to be painful. Cheeks spread. Nose to toes. Off we go.

I heard that sack of shit Mustafi was as good as gone. Why is he back in the team? How many catastrophic mistakes is he allowed before somebody killssells him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think that constitutes the shit first 30 minutes.

[Thierrymon]

NO

Mustafi with the mental hospital back pass. Luiz had no choice

Ofcourse he has a choice. Mustafi is definitely the main target to blame but that was utter stupidity from Luiz. He had no chance if getting the ball, better letting them score that giving them a penalty and getting sent off.

[Globalgunner]

But who will create all our chances. We have scored more goal than villa this season so far and are currently behind a team who lost 9-0

Thats a myth. Ozil rarely creates plausible chances. Better off playing anyone but that sedentary twat.

[Maestro]

you kno i can't even blame mustafi anymore now, it's the club and coaches who still employ him and play him in games .....with everythinh we now know about his ineptitude

[Xhaka Can’t]

Luiz you fuking idiot.

You spelt ‘Mustafi’ wrong.

Man, you weren’t even close!

[Niall_Quinn]

My interest in the game has wavered. It may even have waned.

[Özim]

you kno i can't even blame mustafi anymore now, it's the club and coaches who still employ him and play him in games .....with everythinh we now know about his ineptitude

Spot on.

Meanwhile Everton 2-0, Ancelotti doing a great job.

[Maestro]

The more you play Mustafi..the less chance you get of being able to sell him.

we should not sell him, we should pay up his contract and let him leave immediately

[Marc Overmars]

Holding coming on.

Should have started if he was fit to play.

Arteta. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Really poor by Bellerin.

[Niall_Quinn]

Really poor by Pepe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka isn't going to let Mustafi win a clown-off.

[Marc Overmars]

Mustafi’s face. :haha:

“I have no idea what I’m doing. “

[RomfordPele]

Not saying it was the wrong call tonight, but it’s incredible how many of our games have been effectively decided by refereeing decisions this season - and every single one of them has gone against us.

[Maestro]

well done for keeping it @ 1-0 lads

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. Shite.

[Marc Overmars]

Shite.

Can this god awful season end now please.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT in the latest Musafi shit-show.

We probably played better after we went down to 9 + Mustafi

[Maestro]

Mustafi’s face. :haha:

“I have no idea what I’m doing. “

not just his face, even the way he walks, demeanour everything is just duh about that bloke

[Maestro]

HT in the latest Musafi shit-show.

We probably played better after we went down to 9 + Mustafi

imagine if we came back and even drew this game

[Ralpheroo72]

This club fucking stinks, 6 points off the drop zone, we are an absolute disgrace.

[Niall_Quinn]

imagine if we came back and even drew this game

I have a pretty vivid imagination, but can't picture anything remotely resembling that outcome.

[Globalgunner]

Not a single sign of discernible improvement points wise since Arteta came on board. 40 points will be a hell of an achievement this season

[Marc Overmars]

Not a single sign of discernible improvement points wise since Arteta came on board. 40 points will be a hell of an achievement this season

But we’re trying really hard!

[Mac76]

we should not sell him, we should pay up his contract and let him leave immediately

I've been saying that for six months, better to get rid of a liability like that and forget about the money than keep him

[Niall_Quinn]

According to BT - 0 attempts from us in that half. And when I think back, I can't remember anything. Sending off or not, can somebody just take a punt at the opposition goal?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scrote a yellow off Emma.

It's the only hope.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No changes.

:unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful hit for Martinelli. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Peter Walton. :lol:

What's the point?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Spot on.

Meanwhile Everton 2-0, Ancelotti doing a great job.

Ancelotti sure went to shit quickly.

[Niall_Quinn]

The bookings (or lack of them) are so biased.

Gwen coming on for Ozil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is that not a yellow?

[Xhaka Can’t]

How is that not a yellow?

He wasn’t wearing a red shirt

[Özim]

Ancelotti sure went to shit quickly.

He's come 2nd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Leno.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Christensen booked.

Run at him!

[Niall_Quinn]

That FK just sums us up. Short and negative. And we lose the ball. Shite.

[Ralpheroo72]

Southampton who were beaten 9-0 at home by Leicester, are now 2 points above us in the table.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Our support has done us proud tonight.

[Niall_Quinn]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Maestro]

you fuckiing beauty, Gabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiggggoooooaaaaaalllllll

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MARTINELLI!!!!! I LOVE THIS BOY!!!!!

[Maestro]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what if we win it? ...how vivid is your imagination

[Marc Overmars]

Come on!!

[Maestro]

MARTINELLI!!!!! I LOVE THIS BOY!!!!!

he's the real deal

[Maestro]

Our support has done us proud tonight.

they've been amazing, turned that shed into our homeground tonight

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rudiger tries to Essien us, Leno saves.

[Özim]

Martinelli is really special.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kovacic off, Barkley on.

[Niall_Quinn]

He didn't fuck it up. That's the most satisfying part of that goal. He kept his head and slotted it home.

[Niall_Quinn]

Again. The growing evidence in favour of kicking the ball TOWARDS the opposition goal.

[Maestro]

He didn't fuck it up. That's the most satisfying part of that goal. He kept his head and slotted it home.

takes a cold hearted and assasin to finish like that in a game like this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kante off, Mount on.

[Niall_Quinn]

what if we win it? ...how vivid is your imagination

I'll take 1-1. If we can hang on to that then it's a big performance. Been stung by this team too many times to believe though.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Martinelli is really special.

Our most exciting prospect in years.

[Globalgunner]

Again. The growing evidence in favour of kicking the ball TOWARDS the opposition goal.

You may be asking for too much.

[Maestro]

Again. The growing evidence in favour of kicking the ball TOWARDS the opposition goal.

Empirical in fact, who knew

[Niall_Quinn]

That kid Saka is a real player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette miles offside. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca nets, but the chav lino rules it offside. Now way was it offside. Well, maybe a little. Even though it was offside by a mile, still should have stood.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Willian.

[Maestro]

I'll take 1-1. If we can hang on to that then it's a big performance. Been stung by this team too many times to believe though.

i'm pushing it, i know ... a draw under the circumstances would be a huge effort and result

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torreira with his customary death.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is that Torreira trolling the chavs again? LOL

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's AMN, Fletcher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

A bloke called Tammy heads it straight at Leno - again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tammy straight at Leno again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Laca has to do better there.

[Maestro]

soak and counter, soak and counter

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette has lost his mind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How many subs has Arteta made in his mind this game? :lol:

Willian off, Batshuayi on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Batshit on for Willan.

Looks like Holding will be coming on for us. Eventually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Barkley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe off, Holding on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Decent stop by Leno from Barklay fluke attempt.

Pepe off. Holding on.

My fear. When was the last time we defended a result by gong defensive?

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck off was that a corner! Bullshit!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding wipes Tammy out.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking typical. Wasn't a fucking corner. Fuck!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Azpi. Bollocks.

[Niall_Quinn]

MILES offside AND interfering with play. Total bullshit.

[Maestro]

oh well, .......<_<

that's it, bag of crisps, chocolate and aftv it is then

[Niall_Quinn]

That's utter bollocks. Where is VAR now? Fucking farce. If you're standing in front of the cunt who scores, how can't you be offside?

[Marc Overmars]

Oh well.

[Niall_Quinn]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

Hectoooooooooor!!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BELLERIN!!!! COME ON!!!!!

[Maestro]

yeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

[Marc Overmars]

Get in!!!

[Maestro]

okay captain hector, i take it all back if we hold on here

[Niall_Quinn]

Batshit almost deflects it in. Fuuuuck! Close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Batshit. :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Fucking mad game this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mount relieves any pressure.

[Niall_Quinn]

Martinelli off (well done son) - Willock on to belt in a 30yd winner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our hero and best player of all time Martinelli off, Willock on.

[Niall_Quinn]

+4 mins

[Maestro]

something is properly wrong with Laca. i think he needs to bonk a hooker to get his mojo bacl and shake the hoodoo off

[Niall_Quinn]

'Ector is MOTM

[Maestro]

come on you 9 men

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hudson-Odoi with a Mount tribute act.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What do we need David Luiz cam for?

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-2

[Maestro]

our fans absolutely fucking amazing, they shut down the chavs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-2 The Arsenal, FT!

Draw specialists at it again! :bow:

Wow.

[Niall_Quinn]

We only went and got a draw against Mustafi! The impossible - done!

[Thierrymon]

Hopefully that helps Bellerin get his form back. Has looked the shadow of the player he was since returning.

[Marc Overmars]

Another fucking draw but one that we can be more than satisfied with.

[Mac76]

Unbelievable

Arteta :bow:

Honest frank :haha:

[Maestro]

come back twice in this down to 9 men, fucking brilliant

sack mustafi tonight though and ice out ozil before our good kids get infected

[Niall_Quinn]

14 more points up for grabs this season! We can do it!

[GP]

Fair enough.

Martinelli is special

[Xhaka Can’t]

our fans absolutely fucking amazing, they shut down the chavs

They were unreal. They had to have inspired the team. They did us proud!

[Letters]

Spot on.

Meanwhile Everton 2-0, Ancelotti doing a great job.

This post has not aged well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton just have to Neverton.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I was actually on my way to the Emirates before I realised the game was away! :ninja: :getcoat:

Brilliant comeback given the circumstances. My head almost exploded on Hector's goal.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I was actually on my way to the Emirates before I realised the game was away! :ninja: :getcoat:

Brilliant comeback given the circumstances. My head almost exploded on Hector's goal.

You guys were fantastic last night. We all heard the Arsenal sing!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Yes they were, I wasn't actually there though! :d Firmly sat on my couch as I only go to the home games.

You have to be in the IN club to get a fahhhhkin away ticket.
