Yay, we won the second half.
Some consolation that is.

we assumed because southampton, swansea and qpr got results there that we would as well, difference is all three of those sides have more fight in them than us.
It's time for Sagan to be dropped and GHELkinson given a run.
It was no coincidence we started to look more menacing with Gibbs playing past the halfway line instead of Sagan.
Frustrating loss, again. Think we're really going to struggle for 4th.
If Wenger thinks we don't need a striker he should be sacked on the spot.
Dirty Ramirez filth getting MOTM was possibly comedy moment of the season so far. How could the fake NQ be that incompetent?
Für eure Sicherheit
If a coach needs a lifeline, come to Arsenal...we're generous with the points. Chelsea have been terrible at home and we just made things easy by giving away two early goals and easing their nerves a bit. Sagna has to get dropped. That was a lazy performance. Merts had a bad day. A better game for Verms for once. Gibbs saw a lot ore of the ball in the 2nd half and was good going forwards. Cazorla took a half off and the decided to have a go in the 2nd half. Diaby lacks match practice and was sloppy at times, Coquelin was good, slow start for Jack as well...Giroud shit...Theo...good goal, too many offsides but worked hard.
Shit overall.
why is it always our players that limp about after a 50/50 challenge?
why is it always our players that take a knock from a challenge?
why is it always our players that moan, groan and play the victim role on the pitch?
our centre midfield was so open it was embarrassing. we sold song and didn't replace him- its logical to think that when you sell the most defensive minded midfielder in your team you become even more open. why cant wenger see that?
we went to the bridge last year with a stronger team. we went this year with a weaker team. it was obvious we were always going to lose. we had coquelin in song's place and giroud in the place of van persie. neither are fit to clean the other's shoes. coquelin had an alright game but the problem is that even on his good day, he is nothing more than alex song on a poor day. the midfield was so lightweight it was a disgrace.
I thought the ref done us a favour by not sending off Sczezney tbh. He missed Ramires' dirty b*st*rd challenge on Coquelin in the build-up to the first goal, but to be fair, in real time, it looked inoccuous. It was only the slow-mo replay that showed just how bad it actually was.
But, in true Arsenal fashion, we wallowed in our own self-pity, let the feeling of injustice take over, and allowed Chelsea to plow on the pressure.
Only plusses were Wilshere and Gibbs. The rest of this turgid lot need to develop a winning mentality, and f***ing fast.
Formerly TMOKJ
Good second half mini-comeback, but overall Atkinson had too much experience and know-how to contain us.
At least we have one consistent player in Gibbs. Until he breaks again.
Why GHELkinson has been snubbed so badly by WUMger is a great mystery. He can't even get a game when Sagan is having the worst period of his career.
