Match Reaction - Chelsea vs Arsenal

[Japan Shaking All Over]

First and foremost

Proud to be a Gooner, what about you?

[GP]

I just wanked my cock off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ecstatic. :scarf:

And Big Man fucked up. :haha:

[AKBapologist]

Only come here to gloat these days and Christ is this place quite when we do win.

[Özim]

Great win! RVP what a star the guy is, Walcott pretty decent today as was Gervinho.

The defences for both sides were a horror show of defending but no matter, very good win for us and some good celebrations at the end.

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal :bow:.

Wenger :bow:.

RVP :bow:.

Ramsey :bow:.

Koscielny :bow:.

Song :bow:.

Arsenal away fans :bow:.

Big Man :haha:.

Defending :pal:.

Best post ever. Team showing some real heart unlike in the past few years

[Ernesto]

YEEEESSSSS!!!

Someone slap me, I sold two tickets for this game :(

[LDG]

Get the fuck in!!!!!

Magic!

[Marc Overmars]

Mad defending but then we knew that already? :lol:

Fuck me did we need a result like that.

Absolutley brilliant.

The biggest and most important step on the road to recovery.

Back in business, well and truly.

Arsenal. :bow:

[milla]

What a game :faint:

RVP :bow:

Ramsey :bow:

Arsenal :bow:

Big man :bow:

[selassie]

I've fallen back in love with the team, that was f*ckin superb, especially the 2nd half where for the first time in a loooong time we looked absolutely fantastic going forward.

So pleased for the team, I think todays result & performance was so important and could kick start off what could be a good season.

So happy for the team! :clap:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

[KESSLER]

It was like a game of fifa haha

i agree...altho not to be negtive but chelsea were at sea defensively...not sure if it was b/c of our movement and pace or if they just had an off day

[Fats]

We were shit

They were shitter

Incredible game of shocking defending by both teams

Get the FUCK IN!!!!!

Awesome result

[GP]

Here's to men like Figo who never give in to grey.

:bow:

[Marc Overmars]

[GP]

Chelsea played pretty well, all told. Credit to them.

We were fucking superb.

Arsenal :bow:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

What a result!
Can safely say we have picked up a head of steam!

Defending and passing needs work but with TV5 on the mend we can only get better. . .Santos is a heart in mouth defender. . .Wenger definitely worked his magic unearthing that gem but could be come a bit of a legend

[Niall_Quinn]

Big Man must feel like he's been kicked in the bollocks. That's what I wanted before the game, that's what I got.

We didn't collapse.

We stood up.

We fought back.

We put our chances away.

We counter-attacked effectively and moved the ball swiftly from back to front.

We were shit in defence

We didn't let our heads drop

We played as a team

RvP 28 goals in 27 games, stunning fucking hat-trick today, at Chelsea, to win it.

Jumped out of my seat about 20 times, sometimes in rage, sometimes sheer joy.

This is what it's all about.

Fucking 100% brilliant. Hair is still standing on the back of my neck.

Going to get pissed and blubber away in sheer happiness.

Well done lads.

Same expected next week.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

RVP the top scorer in the league

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Thought Kos was brill

[Niall_Quinn]

RVP the top scorer in the league

wouldn't expect any less from the best striker in Europe.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

wouldn't expect any less from the best striker in Europe.

Yep who needs Torress. or who wants him shall i say

[-Xs-]

Fuck yeah!!!!

[selassie]

Thought Kos was brill

Yep, he's undroppable at the moment.

[goonerholler]

I forgot this feeling. It's brilliant.

[Niall_Quinn]

I forgot this feeling. It's brilliant.

Spend some fucking money!!!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Santos haters :haha:. They had a shocker. Wouldn't want to be one of those now.

Special mention to Song, who was the definition of an invisible wall in the second half.

Remember that we had to do this despite a cheating ref who fell for their diving and crying and missed fouls on our players.

So the real score is 2-5.

Arsenal :bow:.

[hobson's choice]

What the fukk happened to Santos at halftime, was totally different player in the second,fucking great result

[AKBapologist]

Jamie Redknapp talking a lot of sense about "you can't have it all" - hard to defend well with lots magicians on the pitch.

[Power n Glory]

Brilliant result!! RVP is the man. Ramsey really played well too. Great fight back.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What the fukk happened to Santos at halftime, was totally different player in the second,fucking great result

wenger gave him the riot act lol.

Santos seems more suited to left mid tbh thats his posistion he looks immense there.

To go to Stamford Bridge, and where we all thought we'd loose, the team done us proud tbh, even when 2-1 down wenger kept the faith so props to him, his subs we on point today.

This is what its about, lets hope we can move on from here now.

:bow: Arsenal

[Niall_Quinn]

Added bonus - the cunts in the Sky studio are gutted.

[Thierrymon]

I wouldnt say invisible, he was snapping players all over the place :bow:

[Letters]

Wenger out :angry:

Cracking game. Even had it finished 3-3 I'd have been proud of the effort and way we played. Fantastic win and you could see at the end what it meant to the players. Hopefully this will give us more confidence, we're looking more like Arsenal again. OK, we're not going to win the league but top 4 is definitely achievable if we keep playing like this.

This is the sort of game which reminds me why I love Arsenal and football :dance:

:patrice:

[gunsofashburtongrove]

Well Wenger said during the AGM that stay united and this team will fight, They bloody well did today. We had a one man defense in the first half, and lost our shape. Don't know what happened during the break we were much better defensively in the second half, The wingers and midfielders ran their socks off didn't give Chelsea space, and we counter attacked brilliantly. About RVP's contract i think PHW should give all his shares free to RVP

[Master Splinter]

Added bonus - the cunts in the Sky studio are gutted.

And the cunts at Five Live, Talksport, MOTD, and the Oatcake Fanzine.

[Power n Glory]

Neville going to town on the defending. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Defensively there's no point anymore.

Just invest up front and win every game by scorlines like this.

Arsenal. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Neville going to town on the defending. :lol:

feck him the cunt lol. wanted us to loose lol

[AKBapologist]

Niall_Quinn - Still think it was a bad move resting RVP against STOKE?

[Power n Glory]

feck him the cunt lol. wanted us to loose lol

Did he? Regardless, he talks sense. Shocking defending from both teams but we got the result.

[Niall_Quinn]

Niall_Quinn - Still think it was a bad move resting RVP against STOKE?

It transpires he had a slight injury, so no. But if not injured, yes. Why aren't you jumping up and down and splaffing in your pants? Why are you being a toad?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yeah agree on that defending we were really bad and so where they, like you say we got the result

I have smile on my face like something out of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun video.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chelsea's shit defending and biggest thumping in the PL at teh Bridge down to the ref not sending Ches off - apparently.

[Marc Overmars]

My first reaction to that was red to be honest. We got the run of the green for once.

[Joker]

Great win, and offensively we looked excellent, but the defence was appalling. Santos improved in the second half, but he still looks a bombscare whenever the opposition attack down the right side. Moreover, Metersacker was to blame for two of the goals and his lack of mobility is worrying. If we had invested in a top quality left back and a better centre back, and potentially bought someone like Parker in to help Song shore things up in midfield, we would probably be challenging the Manchester clubs IMO.

evens itselfs outtbh, they should have never got the 3rd because of the foul on santos.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Neville going to town on the defending. :lol:

GW going to town on Neville's face. . . .

[Ralpheroo72]

We should sack Gazidis, and use whats left of his salary to pay Van Persie whatever he wants. Fuck Cesc, he is Mr Arsenal.

[Marc Overmars]

I'm just happy we've ended up on the right side of a goal fest for once. :wacko:

Also, why are we such magnets for wondergoals?!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

AVB will be sacked by xmas tbh

[Olivier's xmas twist]

People take their chances, if we did that who knows we might score one.

Mertesacker is shite, why we didnt spend on Cahill or Samba is beyond me.

[Marc Overmars]

I also love how Ramsey is doing his best Xavi impression.

Mental Ramsey. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Who gives a shit lol

The Chavs do, double the pleasure.

[AKBapologist]

Mertesacker is shite, why we didnt spend on Cahill or Samba is beyond me.
Because their shite?

[Joker]

Because there shite?

Well no, they are not. But of course in your world Lord Wenger can't make any mistakes in the transfer market, so if even if he was offered Messi for £10M and refused, you'd say it was the right decision. I think you need to remember that we're called Arsenal FC, not Arsene FC, so any criticism of Wenger doesn't make us lesser fans compared to the fanboys.

Strange that Joker. . . .no mention of the biggest cunt to pull on an Arsenal shirt, or is it because RvP had made your balls shrink to the size of a couple of peanuts by scoring a hat trick in a big time game. . .at least be proud enough to admit you were having a moment of madness when you saod such things and dodnt know what you were talking about

You see, there's no need for any of this shit today. These moments are what it's all about. You milk these moments because they don't come along very often. Everything else just goes out the window for a few hours. If you blow days like this wondering about the fuck-ups of yesterday then you're never going to get anything out of this game. So what's the point. Just be fucking happy. Go on, 24hours of grinning ear to ear and then we can all go back to normal tomorrow.

Yes, he's been very good this season I admit that.

Guess it depends on who you support....

Kos and Verm in defence now? Santos was atotally different player second half, makes you think he is still adjusting to the pace and tempo of the league. Great result, lets leave all negative comments out of here today. I wonder where Fakefan is today.....

[Unai Tea]

I'm ecstatic with the win. I managed to scream like an 8 year old girl a few times when we scored. I don't have any particular tactical insights but the team battled well and really deserved the win. Just very happy we've won 8 out of the last 9 after that horrendous start. I just kept thinking about where we'll be when Wilshere comes back into the team.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Yes, he's been very good this season I admit that.

Well done Joker mate, just enjoy the moment. . .the boys made us proud and your answer to me doing a bit of WUMing was equally as impressive because I will come down on anyone who taljs shit afyer todays performance

This. This. This. This.

I had forgotten what it is to feel this way.

I'm buzzing.

I'm so happy I don't know what to do with myself.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wilshere, TV and Sagna.

[Daniele]

fixture list looks favourable as well...Wba at home, Norwich away, Fulham at home, Wigan away

[Joker]

Holy shit on a stick.

Can you not even lighten up a tad after that?

I'm really pleased with the win, and we showed real character to get back into the game, and if we show that sort of grit and determination every match, I won't complain about their attitude. However, it seems some AKB's have decided to come online with the sole intention of slagging people who've been criticising Wenger in the last few months.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This. This. This. This.

I had forgotten what it is to feel this way.

I'm buzzing.

I'm so happy I don't know what to do with myself.

Laugh at Big Man. That'll keep me going for a while.

[Syn]

A determined and courageous performance. I thought we were nervy in the first half but the players stood up and fought very well to justify Wenger’s quote from yesterday (that I feel silly for laughing at right now).

There were no stand out individuals for me. It was just a strong team performance. Walcott’s determined run and finish pretty much epitomised the team’s effort. We were powerful and brave and we deserved all 3 points from a fixture that is very, very difficult to get 3 points from for any top team.

Proud to be a gooner. :scarf:

Yeah, so laugh it off. Fuck, we'd have been over the moon if the Invincibles had pulled out a 5-3 at the Chav's place. The fact this team has done it is just weird wonderful.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

This. This. This. This.

me too!
just put half a pack of rolos in my mouth in one go and now cant move my mouth

[Marc Overmars]

We've been on the wrong end of so many results in big games, it's a huge relief to finally come up trumps. To do it in such a manner as well really tops it off. This result has stuck an exclamation mark on the end of this run of form we're in. Now obviously things are far from perfect given how easily we can be cut open, but lets leave that for another day eh?

For now, the only reaction from everyone should be that of unadultered joy.

[Daniele]

Indeed. He will offer us more protection for our back 4 and more mobility up front!

[AKBapologist]

Just as you do to them whenever we have a bad run of form?

Yeah, some people lack class.

Ignore the crap and revel in the result. And when you think the revelling is waning, think of the Big Man's mug at fulltime.

Fuck me - I'm having another Black Hole Sun moment!

Wenger OUT!

[Joker]

Walcott needs to deliver the sort of crosses he was producing today every week. Moreover, his positioning was much better, allowing him to run at the fullback and also finding space so that he was able to retain possession.

[Syn]

Nice to see the Sky team calling the Terry non-slip like it was.

Terry realised he wasn't getting to the pass and just dived to the ground. The look on his face after - when he was wondering why the fuck he did it - was probably the second funniest moment of the game. The funniest, obviously, being Szczesny going in studs-up and flooring Cashley.

Tears of joy, tbh.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

agree just do the sensible thing when you have been proved wrong like Zimm and FY don't come on and say anything tbh.

TBH ZIMM I think has been on and said positive things. . . .I for one have a lot of time for Zimm. . . .annoying git at times. . .but a Gooner nonetheless

Wait till Cripps gets in from work. . .'is a bit shit' - fucking WUM

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

First and foremost

Proud to be a Gooner, what about you?
:gp: You said it best mate- an orgasmic day to be a Gooner ...... And to think Lolcott played a huge part in this..... in fact all the players showed heart...... A truly beautiful day

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

a year ago that was a game we would have lost 5-3. but we seem a bit more resilient with experienced players like per, arteta and gervinho in the team.

walcott needs to be as arrogant as he was today. played as if he knew he could take on ashley and beat him.

gervinho- utter class. so direct and different.

wojciech was a nutter as usual. good confidence for such a young keeper.

kos was amazing again. shows what a bit of confidence can do to a player.

per's positioning was good but he still needs time to adapt.

santos was a different player in the second half. think this is the difference between experienced, strong willed characters and players who are mentally weak- whilst clichy would have come out in the 2nd half and still had a shocker, santos was able to regroup and wipe the slate clean and turn his performance into a blinder. his tackling is awesome but his positioning is weak, needs time to adapt.

one thing i will say is how biased sky are towards any team we play. kept going on about how chelsea were poor and focused on the midfield/torres losing the ball constantly, never mentioned the fact they were losing it was because we were sharper and better than them. seems as if whenever we win its because the opposition are having a poor game, when in fact its not, its us deciding to turn up and playing them off the park.

oh well, great result. COYG!!!!!

Joker is a scriptwriter for Sky btw

[Master Splinter]

Woolen Coat certainly made Cashley look like a bigger chump than he already is. He couldn't really cope. The little bitch was diving all over the place as well. Szczesny should have left a bigger impression with that kick-out.

And yes, Mertesacker had some poor moments today, but on the whole has been very good. He does the basics well and makes interception and clean tackles that often go unnoticed because people are fixated more on his awkward style. The guy is a million times better than Cahill, Jagielka and Samba.

Also, Gervinho was himself again: a bit of poor control and slow decision making followed by brilliant touches and skinning five players. He is strange at times, but his unconventional nature seems to cause havoc every game. He will only get better. Assist record going up too.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

thats what i meant he said positive things then left, he never stayed on and whined all day.

Then we should be thankful for small mercies, I meean a day on GW with Zimm is like sticking needles into your own eyes tbh

Anyway if we get bored, we've got Joker to play with

Agree with everying in this post but the bit in bold especially. Today we had players who want to win unlike last season where we had too many passengers in the team. This season players are showing alot of passion and heart and want to play for the team.

Rosicky and Arshavin look rejuvinated why, Santos wtf happend to him at HT to make him play that way in the second half.

what ever wenger did he needs to do it in every game, what ever RVP and TV5 said need to say it evey half time. The exprience of the team is there for all to see, we spend on where we need and who knows where we will be.

[Syn]

wojciech was a nutter as usual. good confidence for such a young keeper.

One of these days, he's going to get punished for it...but he does far more good than bad - which is a lot more than you can say about our previous few goalkeepers.

Watching him wind the Chelsea fans up after their disallowed goal (directly after we scored for 1-1) was brilliant.


santos was a different player in the second half. think this is the difference between experienced, strong willed characters and players who are mentally weak- whilst clichy would have come out in the 2nd half and still had a shocker, santos was able to regroup and wipe the slate clean and turn his performance into a blinder. his tackling is awesome but his positioning is weak, needs time to adapt.

Very, very good point. Santos seems to be a gutsy character. He seems to have a carefree attitude but he also has some pride - he'd rather floor the pacey winger than let him go past him. He won't allow the opposition to keep going past him.

[gunnerrrrr]

fuck me all of a sudden we are starting to look like a real football team!

Still to come...Wilshire, Diaby not to mention Park, Benayoun...Asharvin did not play....

Ramsey - Cesc junior today....ran the show...i think Wenger has told him to think in a more forward context as thats where he can make a difference.

Arteta - nothing dramtic...but exaclty wha this team needs...he fucking battles hard out there

Song - Mata was in his pocket for 99% if the game as was the Chelsea midfield.

Kos - fuck he is turning into what we expected Vermalen to be.....!!

RVP - nothing to say...he must have descended from the mighty Bergkamps school of football.

The bad defending was exaggerated in the context of how we battled as a team...yes the set pieces were bad but guys showed real heart out there...

yep. if wenger ever needed convincing he needs to balance youth with experience then its today. with denilson in the middle and bendtner on the wing (instead of arteta and gervinho), we would have lost the game. thats the difference between last year and this year.

the experienced players weren't rushing themselves on the ball or panicking when we were winning, per was constantly calm and collected (even when he made the mistake from the corner), and arteta looked elegant on the ball in the dying minutes of the game. gervinho was even at RB at one point helping out jenkinson... when would bendtner have ever done that!

lets hope he keeps on buying experience in january and next summer to continue strengthening this team, because we have a helluva potential.

Only 3 points behind Chelsea now and have undoubtedly had a much more difficult run of fixtures. Wonder if they still feel good about lending us Benayoun...

Every one of Terry's outfield team-mates joined in the celebrations with their skipper, who appeared to swear at the away support in response to their goading.

-from MSN

Any truth in that?

[Edinburgh Gooner]

You said it JSAO. Ridiculous positioning, Chezza should have been sorting out the positioning. If you are put on a post, stay there!!!!! The Big Man would not have scored if he had stayed there. Good to see Chezza redeeming himself when they had a free kick towards the end. Physically manhandling the defence in to position.

Today I fell back in love with Arsenal. I'm not going to analyse anything, just enjoy a fantastic performance and a fantastic result. The heart we showed in coming back twice; the confidence that our players showed. Walcott. Ramsey. Our amazing captain - Mr Arsenal. And the genuine joy from the players at our result. After all the depression today feels so sweet.

Thanks for that, boys.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

I'm still biting my nails, listening to 5live and waiting for Wenger's post match views. Fucking stream stopped just after RVP got his champagne. That was a great gesture by captain fantastic, giving Rambo the bottle tellin him to share it with the boys.

I FUCKING LOVE YOU ROBIN!!!!!!!! Sign him Gazidis, PHW cough up the dough for him, if you cant see he is worth it then just hurry up and die you fuktard.

[IBK]

a year ago that was a game we would have lost 5-3. but we seem a bit more resilient with experienced players like per, arteta and gervinho in the team.

walcott needs to be as arrogant as he was today. played as if he knew he could take on ashley and beat him.

gervinho- utter class. so direct and different.

wojciech was a nutter as usual. good confidence for such a young keeper.

kos was amazing again. shows what a bit of confidence can do to a player.

per's positioning was good but he still needs time to adapt.

santos was a different player in the second half. think this is the difference between experienced, strong willed characters and players who are mentally weak- whilst clichy would have come out in the 2nd half and still had a shocker, santos was able to regroup and wipe the slate clean and turn his performance into a blinder. his tackling is awesome but his positioning is weak, needs time to adapt.

Too right. Its so tedious. I disliked the reference to the 'London Boys' playing for Chelsea, then the reference to no such players in red - as though we were a team of foreigners, when we played 3 UK players to the Chavs' 4. And the constant references to our defending - when by rights we should have conceded just 2 against an attacking, strong team that people have been eulogising. I don't like the dwelling on negatives with us rather than an astonishing performance going forwards.

[IBK]

That was top class play by RVP.

That's great - I love the jink to send Cech sprawling. RVP has stepped up to the plate big time to give us our pride back.

Cracking game. Even had it finished 3-3 I'd have been proud of the effort and way we played. Fantastic win and you could see at the end what it meant to the players. Hopefully this will give us more confidence, we're looking more like Arsenal again. OK, we're not going to win the league but top 4 is definitely achievable if we keep playing like this.

I think the celebrations at the end showed how much it meant, been a long time since I've seen the players really show that they give a sh*t.

RVP is and has been for a long Arsenal through and through and you can see how much he wants us to succered and he continues to deliver. Santos's goal celebration was funny all the players were trying to hug him but he stopped them and then did a little dance:lol:

Very open game of football which you rarely see in games like this.

I'm sure we could have scored more as well. When it was 2-3, the Chavs poured everyone forward and there were so many times I was shouting to play the through ball, but the players on the ball just didn't see it quick enough. Could have really fucked them up today.

But I'll take the 5.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I watched the majority of the first half, but because i was meeting a non-football supporting friend I didn't see the second half until half way through when i convinced him to go with me to a pub showing the match at 3-2, at 3-3 i thought here we go again.......but the JT slip and the counter-attacking thrust gave us a win i think we deserved.
Ramsey,Gervinho, Van Persie (goes without saying rather) and yes WALCOTT was excellent today, Theo's crossing was sublime, the understanding between Gervinho and Van Persie makes me feel that the two should play in tandem up front in a 4-4-2 but that's neither here nor there.
Defensively we were poo for most of the first half, we looked a lot more resolute once we had a lead to defend....and it was going to take a strike like Juan Mata's to restore parity (albeit we should have had a free kick seconds earlier) Koscielny seems to have found confidence and it was Per Mertesacker who seemed all over the shop today (i'll forgive him that because generally he's been solid)
Also must say that Andres Villas Boas seems like a decent bloke, didn't try to blame refereeing decisions on the defeat....I hope he gets given time, especially if it brings about another result for the Gunners like today :-)

[Japan Shaking All Over]

That's great - I love the jink to send Cech sprawling. RVP has stepped up to the plate big time to give us our pride back.

Good Post
RvP was my first choice for captain but I have to admit that at the start of the season I was having my doubts, I thought that tha captaincy was taking the edge of him but I take that all back, the team has got be inspired by this guy, tge way he is doing what e is paid to, score goals.

A true leader and certain departed players could take notice, especially Nasri who had neither the balls nor pride to hang around, admittedly Citeh may just go on to win more than us this year and Nasri may just pick up those important trinkets that he so desired but I take pride in the guys who wore the red and white yesterday and showed what the club means to them and that their desire to win games burns just as strong as those who worm their way out of contracts in order to fast track their careers.

It is now my desire that the board not the departed(they are history) take nitice and back up this performance with the kind of commitment (financial) that the likes of RvP desire, be it in the form of contracts of the purchase of players to help us get to where we belong.

[Flavs]

Ok sadly I didn’t have the privilege of watching this in real time as I was out shopping but I watched it on play back as soon as I got back, entirely unaware of the score or the drama that was to unfold in front of me, I have now watched it 3 times and also on MOTD and I am still a little blown away by the whole event tbh.

Taking away the entire if’s and buts’ we were awesome going forward, simply relentless, the passing and movement, the desire to win and the overall technicality of the play was quite astonishing. Some of the performances were outstanding but the most important was the fact that we just wouldn’t lie down. Anyone who didn’t think we would lose when Mata’s deflected shot went in to make it 3-3 hasn’t been paying attention recently.

We didn’t though, we stood up, we got back, we defended as a unit and as soon as John Terry slipped and landed right on his chavvy, muppet-like, bigoted face I knew it was over. You could see from the celebrations after what it meant to beat a big team away from home, you could see from the homo-eroticism of the goal celebrations we are starting to become a team. However take nothing away from the individuals here, I am always one of Theo Walcotts most vocal critics but on Saturday when going forward he completely owned Ashley Cole, owned him like Darren Ambrose with a mobile phone. Gervinho, Song, Dos Santos all chipped in with great games (after the initial bombardment) and of course RvP made it 27 goals in 28 EPL games…yes really. But for me the 2 that really stood out were Koscielny and Ramsey, both of whom have looked completely out of their depths at time this season but both who seemed to be everywhere on Saturday, in fact at one point I actually wondered if Arteta had changed his name to Ramsey as there seemed to be 2 of him out there. Funny that yesterday everyone was talking about Parker yet Ramsey gets very little or no mention for Saturdays performance…

Also kudos to the MOTD twats who managed to give us no credit whatsoever while taking for 10 minutes about the game and how grand it was. (Also what is this calling Brits by their first names and foreigners by their surnames thing?) I also wonder if all of those who were so vocal in calling for Wengers head and stating how he was a fool and had “lost it” will be quite as vocal about how he isn’t a fool and has indeed “found it” again with 8 wins in 9 games now.

I haven’t actually stopped smiling yet and the thought of Jon Terry with his face in the mud as RvP danced around the shockingly ordinary Peter Cech to make it 3-4 to THE Arsenal will live forever as one of my favourite images in football history.

He was awful, not been the same since he started wearing that silly hat.

That racist John Terry
Face down on the floor!

Ok sadly I didn’t have the privilege of watching this in real time as I was out shopping but I watched it on play back as soon as I got back, entirely unaware of the score or the drama that was to unfold in front of me, I have now watched it 3 times and also on MOTD and I am still a little blown away by the whole event tbh. Taking away the entire if’s and buts’ we were awesome going forward, simply relentless, the passing and movement, the desire to win and the overall technicality of the play was quite astonishing. Some of the performances were outstanding but the most important was the fact that we just wouldn’t lie down. Anyone who didn’t think we would lose when Mata’s deflected shot went in to make it 3-3 hasn’t been paying attention recently. We didn’t though, we stood up, we got back, we defended as a unit and as soon as John Terry slipped and landed right on his chavvy, muppet-like, bigoted face I knew it was over. You could see from the celebrations after what it meant to beat a big team away from home, you could see from the homo-eroticism of the goal celebrations we are starting to become a team. However take nothing away from the individuals here, I am always one of Theo Walcotts most vocal critics but on Saturday when going forward he completely owned Ashley Cole, owned him like Darren Ambrose with a mobile phone. Gervinho, Song, Dos Santos all chipped in with great games (after the initial bombardment) and of course RvP made it 27 goals in 28 EPL games…yes really.

Getting back to his pre-injury path to becoming the next stevie starfish.

In general the media seems quite cut up about this result. Cech is past it, their manager has killed their defence, Torres didn't perform, the defending was awful, the blues will struggle to catch the mancs clubs, and other assorted wailing fits.

Oh yeah, Arsenal played too.

And if Rooney had done anything to place him within a country mile of RvP's form over the last few months England would be winning the Euros for sure and the back pages would be reserved for the guy.

Fact is, our defence improved by almost 100% in the second half and our attack took on a lethal quality that hasn't been there for years. So they can write the game off as an anomaly brought about by awful defences but, as usual, they're not telling the whole story. Something happened in our dressing room at half time and whatever it was it needs to happen every week - before kick off.

No suprise their then, lets be real they love in when we loose so they can have a four page piece on how we need to improve etc. even the likes of 606/talksport suffers when we win lol.

Well, on the flip side, when we're on the end of a beating, the focus usually goes on how bad we played.

I think the other players, Walcott, Megamind and Ramsey are reaping the benifits of the other team worrying about RvP so much. Terry and the anonymous Ivanovic were that centred on the dutchman that the rest of the team kept running past them. I also cant Ashely Cole every playing that badly and Bosingwa is useless.

Was Luiz injured? He has been outstanding so far so to drop him seemed an odd decision, they also miss Essien quite badly and Torres?? What the funk has happened to him

The way we played reminded me of the invincibles in that we were creating so much space by having some actual penetration, and lets face it, nothing is as good as penetration...

[Niall_Quinn]

For instance:

This is all they could come up with for a leader on the Monday? Sad, isn't it? And look at that picture - am I mistaken or is his hand palms-up? Weirdest Nazi salute ever but media scumbags have to be media scumbags I suppose.

I'm not one who generally goes along with the stuff about the media being against us but the headlines I saw did all seem to be about Chelsea and their failings and didn't stop to mention that maybe, just maybe, Arsenal played well and deserved to win there.

RvP the racist supremacist will sure get some shit from his Muslim wife after behaviour like that!

And what will terry the racist cunt get

Terry is not that kind of racist. He's a good honest racist. It's great to have him as England captain as we go around the world criticising others for their racial views. All makes perfect sense.

[Flavs]

That got a genuine laugh out loud from me, so much so i even showed someone in the office so they didnt think i was a mental

[KSE Comedy Club]

MOTD was pretty pointless for us tbh.

It was just Hansen waffling on about chelsea and tbf Shearer did butt in at the end and point out that rvp got a hat trick and that we played really well.

did you see the wankfest they had over scum beating qpr?

[Niall_Quinn]

Yeah, they have a Dutch master playing for them who has scored in the last 6 games. Amazing team, nobody else comes close. Best midfield in the country too, I hear. Better than City's, it's a miracle they aren't clear at the top.

[Niall_Quinn]

Every rag is leading on the RvP Nazi thing. They all say RvP denies it, they all have to use a ridiculous image of him doing the exact opposite to a Nazi salute, but the story is the typical guilt by association thing. Just giving it attention is enough to get the ball rolling and all the while they can play keep their own arses out of the mix by focusing on RvP's denial. Sometimes the things left unsaid are most powerful. Scored a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge? Let's do the Nazi story!

AND they have Gareth Bale, the new Messi playing for them

I said it earlier - its incredible that we had a UK player (Ramsey) who came damn near being MOTM; an England player (Walcott) who scored a wonder goal, and an up and coming English player (Jenkinson) to Chelsea's 4 English players - let alone an unbelievable performance from the best striker by far in the English game in 2011 - yet there is so little praise for Arsenal in the press its unbelievable...

[LDG]

Focus in on Spurs. I don't give a fuck. They can have the pressure.

Quite happily settle for us quietly getting results.

[Flavs]

Reminds me of when we won the title with the invincibles and the headline on the front of the sun was about David Beckham changing his hair style

That's because we are Nazis. Nobody likes Nazis.

Except John Terry.
