Been a fiery affair so far in West London, I thought Arsene would flatten Jose for a moment. Hazard did well to earn the penalty and convert it, 1-0 to them at half time.

Our midfield and defensive lines were pushed too high up, instead of retreating our midfielders chose to pressure. Good ball by what'shisname, a quick counter that carves us up when we're too far up the pitch. It's exactly what people were saying would sink us.

2-0 at full time, have to say it'll be hard to for anyone to chase Chelski this season. gg and g'night.

Chelsea got what they came for. Now we just have to see how Courtois is doing. Might as well have his headgear ready like a true Chelsea goalkeeper would wear.

Today's River-Boca Superclassic match is a good example about how football works on a rainy environment.
River-Boca best rivals :D

I hope he's alright, that was a nasty collision.

Arsene says he has no regrets about shoving Jose. Fair enough mate. Looks like the press are trying to make the most of it by querying both managers about it.

Heard about this, looking forward to seeing the highlights.

At least most of BVB's and Stuttgart's fans aren't miserable gits. Almost every Arsenal fan I've seen has been spouting cynical garbage over the last few weeks. People were deflated about the Chelsea game before it even began, expecting us to lose, and then they became infuriated when we lost. Honestly if they expected us to lose and then we lost what's there to complain about? People need to support the club or piss off.

stuttgart fans are pretty miserable. it's been a long fall from grace the last few years since the championship. money was thrown around inefficiently, and now we have to deal with the results.

though i must say that Bobic's last buys are finally paying off, or at least Kostic does. god, kostic is soooooo good.

Ozil is out for 10 weeks due to a knee injury. Rumors say he had this injury while playing against Chelsea. If this is true, it would explain his recent form and also makes me question Arsenal fitness/medical teams sanity. Nope, nevermind, but still, wtf


Courtois is also missing out on his International match, but his injury wasn't bad it seems.

Schurrle also missed his training like Ozil due to ankle I heard. No reports yet.

Ozil's injury history:
Schalke: Out for 7 days in total
Bremen: 29 days
Real Madrid: 0 days
Arsenal: 133 (including this latest injury)

Everything points towards something to do with our fitness regime, training regime, squad rotation and total time spent on the pitch by players. The crux of the matter is that Arsene sticks to a certain line up for several games on the trot as opposed to rotating the players, especially after midweek Champions League games, and he rarely makes substitutions before the 70th minute and even then he usually makes a tactical change as opposed to replacing players who are genuinely bloody tired. Our most common injury is the hamstring, which is picked up usually due to fatigue. Also our playstyle, which involves dominating possession and quick passes, tends to attract fouls and more aggressive, frustrating responses from opposition sides. Everyone suspects these are the reasons for our ongoing injury troubles.

On a more positive note Walcott is expected to return after the international break. We have a more comfortable series of games to look forward to, with Hull, Anderlecht, Sunderland, Burnley, Anderlecht and Swansea coming up. Hopefully we can pick up maximum points on most of these games and gain momentum and confidence.

Ya it was long time before a "bad luck" doesn't cut it anymore. It's just surprising how Wenger isn't taking any actions into this.

You had quite a few opportunities, the Poles just capitalised on the two they had. Also Szcecnnznnznznznnncccnzy played well in goal, personally happy to see that. Poldi almost had him when he hit the crossbar, I think it's time we play Poldi more.

Fernando Santos' 1st game as manager and with some changes too, fairly positive for our next fixtures. And it was a fair result, we were decent throughout the match and could've snatched a draw but France could've made it 2 or 3 up on the first minutes.

Apparently, Mourinho wants Antonio Rüdiger from Stuttgart and he is only 21.

Some interesting events this week. Scotland drawing to Poland, Ireland's clutch draw against Germany and that drone incident between ALB-SERB. I think incident is a massive understatement, it provoked a full blown riot. Honestly what is it about the Balkans? Why is it always them? All this achieves is that it fuels negative stereotypes of the Balkans, their people and their culture as well as negative stereotypes of football as a whole. It's not even laughable, no wonder North Americans scoff at the sport at any given opportunity.

Wish they'd keep politics out of the sport, and by that I mean keep it out of the stands, off the pitch and away from footballing culture. I know politics has a huge influence over the game, as it does over literally everything in society, but it's time fans do their best to separate themselves from political ideologies, divides, events and issues.

people want our players?

the fuck?

rüdiger isn't even all that great. he's talented, and can show great games, but he's kind of a dickhead and thinks he is the greatest.

things like this will only cement that kinda attitude.

3:3 after getting crushed 0:3 in the first half, can't complain.

the second half was one of the greatest things i've seen in football personally. not as great as the 4:4 between stuttgart and dortmund a few years ago, but still spectacular.

Finally, some positives coming out of this thread now :D


Chelsea vs Crystal Palace was way to physical. I feel bad for the ref. Heard he is a new guy.

Sunderland started so well this season, they disintegrated under the might of the Saints. Soton have done a brilliant job of improving themselves this season, people assumed they'd play poorly after the summer clear out but they've replaced all sold players and come back in style.

We're heading to Sunderland next week so hopefully we'll trample them in similar fashion.

sooooo...

today was very fun.

the game in goals:

1:0 frankfurt

1:1

1:2 stuttgart

1:3
2:3

3:3

4:3 frankfurt

4:4

4:5 stuttgart

WE WON THOUGH! AND EVEN MADE 2 GOALS AFTER THE 80TH MINUTE WE'RE BACK BITCHES!

you also can't help but be fascinated by dortmunds inability to win in the bundesliga, while rocking the shit out of the championsleague at the same time. we're talking possible relegation while winning the championsleague here.
