true.. but none of the fouls were malicious.. unlike the chelski fouls... this is getting very sinister

aTasteOfVintage SG

You were wrong. They did shake hands. For like a nanosecond, but they did. Mr. Green

stellazio SG

i thought they only shook during the return leg man utd 4-2 victory..the battle of the buffet got meh?aiyah anyway not so important now,cause both didn't even wana give interviews.. Laughing

aTasteOfVintage SG

Anyway, it's different also. The manager of the winning team should offer the handshake. Mourinho just went into the dressing rooms. There was a lot of show boating as well on the sidelines.

Nevertheless, this is not the first time Jose and Chelsea have been labelled with the tag. So I'm not surprised. Mr. Green

beavan SG

don’t really like the idea of this..but chelsea has just ran away with the title already

aTasteOfVintage SG

Hmmm.. I see it from a different angle. I think its more like Arsenal have just ruled themselves out of the title race. Mr. Green

stellazio SG

actually its more like who is hungrier for the victory.. Laughing

aTasteOfVintage SG

erm..I think i was answering in terms of the title race..not just the game itself.

stellazio SG

no ma,i was referring to ur post abput arsenal ruling themselves out of the title race.. Laughing

aTasteOfVintage SG

yah..erm..nevermind. Forget it. Mr. Green

The man who was death SG

Dun understand why wenger plays toure at right back when senderos can play there and toure is a regconised centre-back Rolling Eyes

Medicated Oil SG

No team can stopped the new russian train.

I saw the match.

Chelsea's attack is like a bull and bear.

Strong, forceful and unstoppable.

Their mid-field is just too strong to break.

Maybe Ah Ben make a big mistake by deploying 4-5-1 formation.

The FIFA cup could be his only cup.

Poolman SG

Lauren confirmed losing of his front teeth after that Essien's elbow , hope Essien will get another 2 matches ban on this .

Poolman SG

Ah Ben ? or is it Arsene ? Rolling Eyes

Poolman SG

Arsenal need two fast right and left back to cope with the Speed of Cole and Robben .

Arsenal were caught with their pants down when Toure were helping upfront and one break by Robben cost Arsenal the first goal .

LazerLordz SG

Maxwell and Chivu needed.

Gattuso in midfield.

Pires and Bergkamp should be used only for UCL matches at best..

Get a steely forward to keep Henry on his toes..one of them Turkish strikers could do t he trick.

stellazio SG

toure is faster den senderos la..senderos will be worse off at full back..he shouldn't have let justin hyote go to sunderland.. Laughing

the Bear SG

that's three for Essien...

he tried to take off Lauren's head with his elbow...

Laughing

here's how some people feel about Chelski now

Why I Hate Chelski. A Rant.

Dear 365ers I know that you will not print this, but after watching yesterdays Arsenal / Chelsea game and seeing & hearing Mourinhos utter contempt for footballing niceties, I just had to get this off my chest before I spontaneously combusted in my front room even if you dont print it, some of you at 365 towers must agree with at least some of it.

WHY I HATE CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB
I hate Chelsea football club with a passion.
I hate everything they represent and symbolise.
I hate the arrogance, the total absence of any morals, dignity or class and the complete and utter lack of any form of respect for authority and rules. Their consistent, (and largely unpunished) rule breaking, the 'tapping up' cases up of Gerrard, Cole and Arnesen, the disgraceful false accusations against Anders Frisk and Frank Rijkard, the gesture towards Liverpool fans in Cardiff, the personal attacks on Wenger, UEFA and others.

I hate their dirty, borderline illegal oil money, their hollow success, their 'blank cheque' philosophy and their 'name your price' mentality. I hate their disregard for loyalty, and the utter failure to appreciate any of the deeper and more 'romantic' side of football and what it means to a very large part of our society.

I hate Lampard kissing the Chelsea badge (the man's been a f**king West Ham fan since birth for jeepers sake), I hate Drogbas and Essien's sly, underhand and unpunished tactics, I hate Joe Cole's consistent diving and I hate incredible young potential like Shaun Wright-Phillips selling themselves for the sake of 10 starts a season and a fat weekly wage.

I hate Mourinho, his utter contempt, his quasi-religious self-obsession fuelled by the [mostly] London press and fawning sycophantic television media [step forward and take a bow Sky & the Beeb], I hate his general disrespect to all and sundry and his crew of minions mimicking his every movement on and off the bench. I hate his complete lack of grace in defeat [he is STILL moaning about the Champions League semi-final result for petes sake] and his act of disdain upon lifting football's biggest prize with Porto, barely raising a smile for the fans or players that had served him so well. I hate his 'fake' adverts (does he really need the cash?), and his vulgar, pulsating vanity.

I hate the way they play, considering the vast amount of money spent, I hate their 1-0 score lines and 'safe' long ball style, their focus on deliverance and their 'homage' to the corporate dollar rather than the display on the pitch, despite fans paying £50 for the honour of seeing them play, including the abhorrent charging of f. They will surely be taught a severe lesson in February by Messi, Ronnie and co in February.

I hate Kenyon, the hairless goblin, I hate his lack of morals and his ruthless, 'I'd sell my own mother' approach to football.

I hate and fear the fact that Chelsea are the future of the beautiful game.

I hate Chelsea football club.

Phew, that feels better.

Paul Newman, A Southend United fan

LazerLordz SG

We will be all FORZA BARCA one fine evening in February.

I still hold the morally deficient Jose Mourinho liable and responsible for the resignation of Anders Frisk, one of the great referees of the game.

For once, football must triumph over oil wealth.

the Bear SG

muahahahahhhhahahaha! Laughing

how childish can Moronihno get?

------------------------------------------

Jose Mourinho apparently snubbed Arsene Wenger after Sunday's Premiership clash because the Frenchman had not acknowledged his Christmas card.

Yes, it seems that the Portuguese manager of Chelsea refused to shake Wenger's and after Sunday's 2-0 victory at Highbury because Wenger had not thanked him for a handwritten Christmas card.

Mourinho apparently wrote a personal note in his festive missive to Highbury, apologising for the ill-feeling between the pair after he had called Wenger a "voyeur".

But it seems that a member of Wenger's backroom staff questioned whether the note had actually been written by Mourinho, comments which incensed the Chelsea boss.

He then reportedly waited for Wenger in the tunnel before the game, expecting a personal 'thank you' and a handshake, which was not forthcoming from the Frenchman.

So Mourinho in turn walked up the tunnel after the game without the traditional post-match handshake.

LONDON : Arsenal's complaint that they should never have had a goal disallowed before Chelsea opened the scoring in their 2-0 defeat on Sunday has been upheld by the English Referees' chief.

Keith Hackett, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Board, said Robin van Persie's disallowed effort in Arsenal's defeat should have stood as a goal.

He also revealed that Arsenal were so incensed by decisions during the game that they rang him for an explanation.

"Arsenal wanted to know if I had instructed officials to change their style of refereeing," Hackett told BBC radio.

Referee Rob Styles disallowed a Robin van Persie goal as Thierry Henry was offside - although he was not 'active'.

Hackett added: "When you examine the video many times you can see Henry is not active."

"For the offside decision I was able to confirm this was not a correct decision by the assistant referee.

"Clearly we have a difficult law and interpretations of accuracy on this occasion; in a fraction of a second the assistant referee puts up his flag in the belief Henry becomes active from a passive position."

Hackett refused to blame Styles for the decision and also would not be drawn on comments from Arsene Wenger - after he appeared to question the impartiality of the officials.

"Rob Styles is a senior referee, a very competent official," said Hackett.

"We take on board the criticisms but, in that situation, the assistant got a very much better view and Rob is not going to wave the flag down.

"In the situation immediately after the match some managers cannot bite their lip.

"The challenge for me is to improve the standard of refereeing and we are doing that week in, week out.

"There are some positive comments from managers - and they come from Arsenal and, on a fairly regular basis, from Chelsea."
