arsenal fought hard,
senderos messed up several times thou,
flamini scored & had a touch of lampard's ball & diverted it to the bar

I was on the edge of my chair when Lehmann fumbled it, it was as tense for us as it was for Arsenal fans.

Well done Arsenal, some good passing movements but were pegged into their own-half for the last 25 minutes.

I know, the last few minutes were ace. Really exciting. Who was the really tall black guy playing for Arsenal up front. Was it Adebeyor.

yeah it was. I was surprised at how well he was playing, he was more confident on the ball and went on a couple of runs than he has been in previous games.

I thought it was but i couldnt tell. He was doing really well, hes a big fella though. I was like who is that.

It was hell of game. The last few minute I was on the edge of my chair, much like Ronaldo. A very exciting finish no less.
here are the goals :

The Essien goal is incredible, gets better every time you see it. At the time, i thought the ball had gone wide and I was wondering why Martin Tyler was going mad. I had a bad quality stream ;)

Quite a good game. Some good shots and an excellent goal from Michael Essien.

I thought up untill the final 15 minutes the game was an ordinary boring match with very few chances and had it ben a watford vs reading game then it would have been critisised however cause it was chelsea vs arsenal it was supposedally an intriguing game.

However in the last 15 minutes the game came to life and it was enthralling finish Robben and SWP should have ben introuduced IMO earlier. Despite hitting the wood work 3 times I dont think Chelsea being the home team did enough to win and I thought a draw was a fair result.

The first 75 minutes IMO was a big let down however the final 15 minutes was a fantastic spectacle.

lol said in the papers 'hilario couldn't dominate a pensioners tea party'

Thats a bit harsh to be fair to the lad he has made one mistake. I stil think that Chelsea need either Carlo or petr back soon as I dont think Chelsea could afford to rely on hillario regularly. I have a feeling he could be similar to Massimo taibi.

What's wrong with Cuducini anyway, or is he just 2nd choice?

We were looking to sign him before we got Van der sar, he was always a quality keeper. I think it's mainly because he hasn't had much match pratice since Cech has come in that he's not as good. Better than Hilario.

The Chelsea fans will come and say that he saved a penalty against Sheffield United which was powerless and straight at him :rolleyes

I won't i'll come in and say he's pretty dodgy, Sheff Utd penalty save was one of his only good points. Against Spuzz and then again on Sunday he looked poor at times!
Carlo was apparently injured not 2nd choice, hopefully he will be back for tomorrows game!
Anyway on the game, until Arse got their goal we really didn't threaten enough, we really need to start with Robben. Mourinho really must notice the difference in play when he's on. But then we suddenly woke up and really got our game together, like i wish we would more often. What a cracking goal from Essien i really thought it was going wide but to then hit the bar was just gutting and with the last chance of the game to hit the post, i actually couldn't believe it. SWP looked terrible on the ball, the complete opposite to Tuesday but you can't blame him really!
