ARS 0-2 CHE

Dammit. Arsenal got whacked by Chelsea.

Again.

Only this time, Arsenal were outplayed like nobody's business, and Chelsea ran away easy winners. Too easy, if you ask me. Cole was great- and with this rich vein in form, we'll be seeing Joe Cole playing down England's left side at the expense of some other big name player in Germany in 7 months time. Provided if he can maintain this form for country as well as club.

Let's see why Arsenal are doing so poorly, and why Chelsea are doing magnificently.

- Arsenal can't perform against physical sides. However way any Arsenal fan might want to argue that, it's really pathetic to see them being whacked and pushed aside by other players. Worst part is, the opposing players don't have to be physically bigger. All they have to do is keep their feet firmly on the ground, and fight for every damned ball. Then Arsenal shall fall. Literally. I've never seen Arsenal players go down so easily. Gone were the days when they could actually put up a fight, stay on their feet, and try to PLAY football. Watching an Arsenal match these days can be a bit embarrasing.

-Players are too young and bloody inexperienced. Really. For all their skill is worth, it's really no point having all of it if they can't get past the defence. And since these little boys are playing against real men, day in, day out, I guess they'll never learn the physical side of the game. Why? All these humiliating moments would just destroy their focus and confidence instead of improving their game.

-Players talk too much. Manager talks too much. How about a press-ban on all things associated with Arsenal. Please? Pretty please? Then we won't hear any more whining and complaints when we turn to the back pages. "Arsenal have a better squad then Chelsea, but are struggling with injuries," proclaims Reyes. Yeah right. Believe that if you want. Sounds like Reyes is trying to make up for his little summer tryst with Real Madrid.

-Henry is lazy. Period. No need for further elaboration. Okay, so he's scored 11 goals this season. Some are really beautiful, no doubt. But do you actually watch the games? He doesn't fight for balls. His tackles warrant yellow cards (think seriously mistimed here). He still can't head the ball. Who the heck said he was the most complete striker in the world? Brilliance in technical skill does not warrant that status without the proper authentification --> i.e. goals! Loads of them! Maybe he's just sick and tired of Arsenal. Sick and tired of their lack in ambition in the market. Sorry, but I don't call 13mil pounds on Hleb a good investment. Or 20mil pounds on Reyes. I just hope these two would make me eat my words. Please. So what if they're building a new stadium and have got nuts to spend? Illegitimate excuse! That 33mil above testifies to it. No 'big' club wants to open a season with a new stadium without even being in Europe. Maybe Arsenal could do with the money from off-loading Henry.

-Chelsea's got a really solid backline. Great goalkeeper, especially for that age. Heck, even the reserve goalkeeper is world-class! Oh yeah, how about a fantastic midfield? Which can even afford to offload Scott Parker. Says a lot, doesn't it? Who cares if their strikers can't score if you shot the opponent goalie and rolled the ball across the goal-line? They've got marvelous midfielders to do that job for them! Imagine if Chelsea actually had good strikers, they'll be a freaking goal machine. Think CHE 6-0 ARS at the Bridge. Ouch~!

-I think Lampard is the best midfielder in Europe right now. So he doesn't have Ronaldinho's skill or Robinho's stepovers. There's something totally different in the way he plays. How about a never-say-die attitude? It almost feels like watching Roy Keane in his prime. Throw in loads of goals and fantastic passes, don't you think he's just damn bloody good at what he does? And how about consistently appearing for Chelsea every match? He doens't need to rest! And Ronaldinho's needs the occasional breather. Form-wise, Lampard's the best.

-Oh what about Terry? Fantastic defender. Fantastic leader. No need for more words.

I just hope Arsenal survive the Christmas period. Maybe buck up a bit when the transfer window reopens. If they even think so much of the title, please someone, anyone! smack them right in the face. Getting into Europe would be nice right about now.

Oh and about Man Utd, who gives a rat's ass about what the British press thinks? They can all go sh*t themselves. Man Utd is second in the league and have the best chance of wrestling the title away from Chelsea. So Arsenal fans out there, don't just hate Man Utd for who they are. That's just pathetic. It's time they deserved a little respect. Really.
