Dont think anyone else on here will agree with you, inc me.

but seeing as you mention it, Arsenal are our feeder club and we have had a few players off them who have gone onto win titles whilst the Arsenal haven't, again.

Were not playing as well as we have and can, BUT, we're still picking up points, when you don't play well you lose, that's the difference and with less and less games to play you seem to think that Chelsea will lose at least 4 games from 15 left and someone underneath us will go on an unbeaten run, can you really see that happening, seriously!

As Murph says, it's these attitudes in and around you're stadium that is wrong at Arsenal, your all in denial and overly obsessed and besotted by Wenger, it's time (well its long overdue) to cut that umbilical cord...

Yeah well if you went back a month when Liverpool won 4 in a row culminating in a win against City, they were flying. Would any Liverpool supporter believe that they would then go on and take only 1 point from the next 12 available?

Don't think Chelsea are untouchable just because they are top and that they haven't lost many up till now. That can all change in a blink of an eye. If you don't think that can happen then I suggest you are in denial yourself.

Why wouldn't they? You're 4 points behind in the league.

And if you lose you'll be 12points adrift, 5 games with that goal difference. I expect Chelsea to win. Do you expect Chelsea to lose 5 games in the next 15, and Arsenal to win theirs?

Fish's #deluded is almost gold plated.

I don't have any expectation I am just saying that anything is possible. If its all sewn up why don't you go down the bookies in the morning and place £100 on Chelsea, it should be the easiest £30 you will ever make if its that much of a banker.
 
Just seen the Rodwell assault the referee is 5 yds away.
you get booked for hitting someone with your hankie these days that was a red card.
if he can't see that from 5 yds he should not be refereeing in any league .
Rodwell should be ashamed of himself that could end the lads career.
i have always said a challenge like this deliberately bringing player down ( professional foul) nowhere near the ball should be red anyway.
very unprofessional from Rodwell but because he was booked that's the end of it.
That rule needs changing so he can get what that deserved.

we've had 3 draws and a loss in our last 4 league games. Bleeding awful but not 3 loses and a draw.

point taken from a game full of ifs and buts.

I thought the ref was shocking

No mention of Costa's dive? maybe cos it wasn't Sturridge... :smirk:

Agree. A cowardly challenge that was worthy of a double red!

Because nobody saw a dive, not even a hint of a mention from any of the 2 different panels or commentators I was watching the match on or on here, your the first!

It could all change in a blink of an eye if you have a dodgy unorganised inconsistent defence leaking goals and have no cover on the bench should any of them get injured, does that sound like Chelsea or bare any reference to their defensive qualities throughout this season so far 🤔

You made reference some time ago stating that Chelsea's defence was poor and yet at that time 2 of the back 3 featured in players & team of the week/month!

The back 3 formation works excellent especially with well drilled wing backs dropping back automatically when not in possession but pushing forward at every opportunity with Matic & Kante sat in front of them, it perfectly suits the current players and squad and is very difficult to breakdown, it's solid defensively and frightening when breaking away on the counter and then linking with Hazard, Willian, Pedro or Costa & co.

Your just frustrated as it's business as usual at the Emirates but this season the difference is that 4th place isn't that secure with 15 games to go and everyone breathing down your neck, your focus (obsession) with us is misplaced, your title hopes are over, you need to concentrate on a top 4 position and willing on Liverpool to win was laughable with both Manchesters within touching distance of you!

But, the rest of London and possibly the country all want Wenger to stay, because in him we trust 😜

I've been saying for a while, every other teams fans wants Wenger to stay. That must say something. He keeps Arsenal safe and unthreatening. Up near the top but never actually scaring other teams.

Chelsea have a power about them at the moment. They don't seem to have many weaknesses. Even if Costa has an off day they are not leaking goals, others step up. Chelsea have perhaps been lucky through few injuries at this stage but you need that. Maybe they also train in a smarter way, maybe they don't buy fragile players. Either way they will have to have some slump in form to lose at this stage.

You have to give a big hats off to Conte. New country, new league and he adjusted very quickly. All of this without being nasty or bitter. He seems a classy bloke. I don't even dislike Chelsea quite as much as I used to.

👍

With Zouma back we have good cover at the back, we have good cover across the park with a strong squad to cover injuries or suspensions, so I think we're in very good shape, we can score from many areas and not just rely on Costa too much.

We had a £35m bid for Dembele turned down and we failed to land Inter Milan midfielder Jonathan Biabiany.

We also had a £26m bid for Italy midfielder Antonio Candreva rejected by Inter Milan.

We missed out on signing Craig Gordon forcing us to block Asmir Begovic's £10m switch to Bournemouth.

So we're looking to strengthen still on what is already a strong squad but there will be some leavers & retirements in the summer to offset against new arrivals.

What a great maiden season Conte has had and Kante must be the signing of the year.
