Just turned on, are Arsenal really good or Chelsea really shit or a bit of both?
Reluctantly, I think it’s both.
I mean, Chelsea’s have been woeful but arsenal appear to to have luck and the ability to take advantage of big opportunities

Cucurella on that corner was fucking embarrassing. Just holding onto Xhaka and watching the ball go past him.

Hate Jesus’s diving and hate arsenal looking so similar to how we looked under peak poch with young hungry players dominating games and possession and creating a lot of shots and chances ? make it stop.

I do agree with both points.

We rarely turn up at Stamford Bridge, this is true.

However, the atmosphere always appears to be more hostile when we play them compared to Arsenal.

They really snap into the tackles and our players get shit.

Not the same for Arsenal.

Arsenal are not winning the league anyway.
I'm not so sure. Arsenal will lose very few matches this season. And despite City's ability to utterly steamroll most teams, they've still got a bit of flakiness about them, as seen yesterday, which means they will definitely drop points to teams they really shouldn't. I wonder if arsenal might have the edge in consistent ruthlessness. In City's favour, they have the much greater squad depth. But I think it'll be close between these two, and then a gap to third.

It’s definitely to our detriment being the universally hated club in London which seems to be underlines more and more

Chelsea just wouldn't play like this against us full stop.
You’re deluded if you think the Chelsea players gives a toss about whether they play Spurs or Arsenal. Perhaps the atmosphere is a bit better against us, but that’s marginal.

This Chelsea team is abysmal, and all you have to do is come out aggressively against them and you’ll get your chances. Arsenal have done just that. I can see us giving a lackluster first half performance, walking around waiting for Chelsea to score, giving them some momentum which they turn into energy on the pitch and then blaming the loss on Chelsea ”only turning up against us”.

I think of it as totally different - why dont we put in a performance against Chelsea like Arsenal are doing now? Surely thats the question?

even when we were playing front-foot dominating football under Poch chessie still tried their hardest against us as opposed to anyone else. Never like they’re playing right now, it’s genuinely puzzling.

should be other way around tbh, bend over for the Cock and go for it vs the Arse.

honestly we can make ourselves out as victim all day, when really we need to man the fuck up and start asserting some authority in these fixtures.
