Match day chat.

I've got a feeling Chelsea will win this game 2-1. As for the managers, well anything can happen between Mourinho and Wenger.

 

[SALTIRE]

0 - 0

Jose to bore us all to death and play for a draw to avoid the sack.

We Win this and you can bet any money the Latte Squad will be crying for Wenger to leave.

I actually fancy us to get a result here. We'll score early and then again before half time. Arsenal will reply with a Walcott goal around 60 mins before Hazard scores a pen with 10 mins to go. 3-1.

It's Jose vs Wenger, of course Chelsea will win this.

Does Hazard score from penalties these days? I'd be crying out for someone else to take that stat padding job off of his hands.

 

[Whitechapel]

Pedro and Willian out of this according to Chelsea, which means they'll both be playing of course.

It's been 3 months Chapperz and you're still bitter about Eden walking away with every personal award going.

1-1. Massive game for both sides.

I think Mourinho would be mad to play Ivanovic in this. Alexis/Özil/Monreal will exploit that space consistently. Cazorla is one of the best midfielders in the league, but I'd have him dropped for Ramsey in the center this match and play Oxlade-Chamberlain on the wing. We need Coquelin to assist Bellerin in handling Hazard, so we'll need more mobility than Cazorla in the center of the park. Chamberlain allows us to be more pragmatic and direct. I'm not thrilled with either Giroud or Walcott in this match - if Welbeck were fit, he's who I would start.

 

[Nilsson]

Just can't see Mourinho not getting a win here. If he can't even beat Wenger then I will start to worry for him and Chelsea.

 

[sl1k]

This'll surely be the game Jose gives his players a kick up the arse to finally get em going, can't be getting a bad result against another direct rival especially Wenger.

1-0 Chelsea.

 

[Master D]

Ivanovic starting? No Terry? Fabregas in a 2 man CM? Arsenal will never get a better chance to beat them.

 

[Bilo]

It's gonna be a draw this.

 

[Benji]

Arsenal would surely have preferred to have Walcott up against Terry today. I do think Arsenal will beat them again. Unless Ivanovic can sort his form out, he is going to get destroyed by Arsenal's attacking midfielders. My oddly specific prediction is that Monreal will get an assist.

Above all else, I'm looking forward to the handshakes.

 

[BlueBee]

I'm going to keep my thoughts on the lineup til after the game. I'm not happy.

 

[Red]

Come on Arsenal, help Jose's meltdown along.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Arsenal to take at least a point and lots of goals.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I reckon Arsenal will do an Arsenal.

 

[The Iron]

Come on Arsenal!!

 

[Stevencc]

Costa is so frustrating to watch at the moment.

Receives the ball on the left of the area. Unconvincing dribble against two or three defenders. Gives the ball away. Repeat .

 

[G-Dragon]

Chelsea have been the better team past 20 mins or so.

 

[G-Dragon]

mm Howard Webb says pen.

 

[Benji]

Costa is such a pantomime villain.

 

[thespus]

Costa should be off. Awful officiating.

He gets his standard elbow to Koscielny's face before his fouls start counting.

 

[G-Dragon]

Kos just got destroyed by Costa.

 

[Benji]

I dunno what Gabriel is getting a yellow for.

 

[Humongous Fungus]

Costa should get a retrospective ban.
