    From the little i saw of the game it seemed like a typical Arsenal performance away at Chelsea, who would have thought that eh?

    What did Wenger say in post match interview? First goal was illegal, we lacked maturity and a little bit of sharpness? The players are tired? We play a little bit with the handbrake on?

    He looked downbeat as usual. Not clinical enough, first goal was a foul....the normal stuff. I don't think the first goal was a foul. For me, when a player has to make a standing jump vs someone that's making a running jump, as Henry said, the momentum just follows through. If Alonso had given him the stiff arm in an attempt to block Bellerin, foul. But enough of that. Even if the foul was called we'd have conceded in a similar fashion because of the way they were countering and Wenger set up up to play high up the pitch with our wingbacks further up for width. It may have worked in the first game but didn't work today and we found that out. Scoreline could have been a lot worse.

    I can't even watch his post match interviews anymore after a defeat.

    Yeah it was like watching a replay of last season's game minus the sending offs, it's all so predictable.
