I agree with that completely. I don't think midfield possession is a problem for Arsenal. They are absolutley dominatant in possession terms against almost any team, however they lack firepower upfront and van persie is not the best striker in the premiership but he may be the most missed striker in the premiership. The possession all too often comes to nothing, their ideal is to put passes through the centre of defence, but with a defence as good as Chelsea, chances will be few and far between.

On the contrary I think Chelsea's inability to control the game in possession terms may show there is hope for the chasing teams, but I'm afraid they do take their chances better then most and thats what counts at the end of the day.

Its very much Chelsea's to lose.

I think Anna is happy tonight, I know I am!

Tut tut, Jah. ;-)

[Jah Lush]

And so you should.

Not often I get the chance to laugh at an Arsenal result.

[Mick Mac]

Really jah? I mean they have now lost 4 times already so it cant be that unusual.

I was impressed with spurs dominating villa away from home so they may beat villa to a top 6 place.

[Jah Lush]

Hmm... I saw what you did there Mac. Very funny. Who are you supporting this week?

[Keef]

I wanted a gunners win for my dad today. Annoyed.

Ooooh, you are so sensitive Jah. I actually did not mean it that way, but as I typed it I did think someone might read that into it.

I quite like Spurs and I like Harry too, so I hope you do well.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Feck, arse, rollocks, thus getting yesterdays result out of my system. Said it before and I'll say it again, Chavksis title this season.

[Jah Lush]

Fair dos Mac.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

West Ham Arsenal FA Cup tie adds to Wenger's woe from todays eve standard now that made me laugh. Still at least we can expect lots of goals the way we are going at the moment

[Atila Reincarnate]

Worst way we'll get a draw and beat the Irons at our place.

[????]

The 0-1 at Highbury after we drew 2-2 at UP in the Third round in the late 80s is still one of my favourite away games ever - "West Ham here, West Ham there West Ham foooking everywhere". And, of course, there was that sublime header from Sir Trev eh Atila....

[Atila Reincarnate]

Yeah late 80's, 20 years ago, how could I forget.

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Difficult to call as Arsenal play at home 27th Dec to Villa then travel down to Portsmouth on 30th only to be back in town for 2 Jan West ham will be concentrating on the league as will be lying in 14th at this point.

Even better quote from standard is Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to meet Elton John when Chelsea play Watford in the cup draw...." He is one of my heroes" hmmmmmm

[????]

Or go back 34 years to when we beat you 2-0 in the 1/4 final at Highbury.....

[SimonM]

So will West Ham v Arsenal be a battle of the 2nd XIs?

[Jah Lush]

Possibly. I'm wondering what XIs Man Utd and Spurs will play tomorrow night.

[Narnia]

I expect Man U to play a very sinmilar team to the one that lost in midweek last week. I think Spurs will go with a strong team given that any piece of silverware is better than none.

[Mick Mac]

You might get a "Hmm" from Jah in response to that Declan. He uses it very sparingly, but its a polite way of saying he's miffed.

I think you're probably right. When we played in the final last year Ferguson played a slightly weaker side and they won. I think if he plays the team that played last week in Europe and Spurs are full strength I think we could edge it. Otherwise, I think Spurs will be out.

[Jah Lush]

Right! Man Utd...bring it on. Come on you Spurs!

[Sandperson]

Sorry Jah. :(

[Jah Lush]

Two shots - two goals. You've got the Indian sign on us.
