Arsenal v Chelsea, 14:00 GMT (29/12, SS Main Event)

[AFC Leveller]

Don’t think Chelsea have more than shot on goal??

[Master Splinter]

Auba defending like Mane.

Ozil playing well two games in a row.

Torreira excellent again.

Luiz actually defending.

AMN and Mustafi not having brainfarts.

WTF is going on?

[Mac76]

Really good so far, shame about Chambers, especially as it means playing mustafi, but we just look so much better overall

HT whistle came at the right time though, chelski were starting to look dangerous

Chelski have been so cynical and should have anpther yellow or two, really annoying to see them break up some really good moves

Would like us to be 2 up but let's hope Arteta can get them going again for the second half

And i love the way we're cheering every hoofed clearance

[Thierrymon]

Enjoyed that half. Another goal would be useful to get early as I could see us getting nervy towards the end of the game.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's the first disciplined half of football I've seen from this team in... years?

Nothing spectacular. Got the passing going. Kept the shape. Players were moving to give the guy on the ball an option. Kept it simple. Booted it out of defence when required (mostly). Put as much into the defensive side of the game as the attacking.

Ozil superb. He really is a cut above everyone else on that pitch.

So glad the manager stuck with Nelson. The kid had a stinker last time out, but he was trying. So the manager says, give it another go, and now we have a proper option on the right that's giving the chavs a ton of problems.

Arteta doing exactly what is required. Getting the basics right. One game after another, a little improvement each time. That's how we'll do it.

Actually impressed by an Arsenal performance. And at Christmas time when we're usually getting our arses handed to use.

Can we keep it up in the second half?

[Thierrymon]

Glen Hoddle and Michael Owen in the studio

[Niall_Quinn]

Also, a long, long time since the opponents have had to kick us off the pitch to stay in the game. Really the chavs should have about 119 yellows by now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal.

See this out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz booked.

Daft.

Auba was already bringing Willian down.

[Thierrymon]

Silly foul from Luiz.
