Just got back from the game, Chelsea don't look anything special at all. The 4 across our midfield were all 20 or under with the exception of Pires (who does bugger all work anyway!) and considering the supposed quality of who they were playing against, we shouldn't have stood a chance! Apart from Robben, all they did was lump balls up front from o' fat one... and they didn't cut us apart like we did to them.
Happy with a draw - I can easily see Chelsea going through a bad patch if Robben gets injured

You gotta be joking, the totally walked all over you in the first half with around about 62% possession. It was a little more even in the second half, but still, you didnt really have that many chances, and most of them feel to just one man, henry.
And the fact you were at highbury, is like an extra man anyway.

as a Man U supporter it can be safely beleived that i loathe arsenal but for this particular game i would back them any day of the week over chelsea simply because they do play quality football and dont buy trophies the way chelsea are gonna do this season .. i hope abramovich one decides to pack up and leave and then see what happens ...
that aside goonerjack ... is robben really that good?

Whoa what an exciting game! Heh funny thing, that goals were coming in the first seconds of the 1st and 2nd half... And the funniest moment of the game is Henry's free kick... Heh it was a goal in a Darek Dwigała (from Poland, our league) style... The draw is the best result, but if Arsenal won it would be much more interesting for the next part of the season...

Robben is sensational. He literally skipped through the Arsenal defence last night on more than one occasion with only his last touch preventing him from scoring a 'goal of the season' contender. Looking forward for more from this youngster.

Because hes played very underpar everytime he has come on for Chelsea so far and Maurinho has two strikers who are in good form (Gudjohnsehn, Drogba) and a lot of attacking options scoring goals (Lampard, Duff, Robben). Hell, even Terry is putting them in these days! So basically Kezman has to displace one of the two strikers and on their current form that is going to be hard to do.
Didn't Kezman just score his first Chelsea goal last week or so? From a penalty I think it was.

They may have had 62% possession, but all they did was stroke it around the midfield... and with the age of our midfield we had no chance of winning it back. But they didn't cut us open at all like we did to them a few times - apart from Robben like I said.

Unfortunately I must say that he is - now that I've seen him live he's just a class above the rest of Chelski... although I'd still take Henry over him!

I like Chelsea ... though they remind me of the hated Yankees (I dont like Yankees), however they don't have a history as rich of the Yanks and the fact that they are owned by my countryman and their nice team colour and name make I like make it so much favourable to me. They got great players are its translating into success so far this season!
BTW, I know the game ended in a tie, oh well ...
