Hmm...Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United play at home in the midweek games eventhough they all played the weekend games at home as well. Arsenal are ofcourse away. Coincidence?

PS: Arsenal game has been bumped for the Sp*rs Citeh game.

Traore out for atleast 10 days with a hamstring.Eboue is back.
Wenger confirmed that Silvest will cover for Traore.Arshavin has been playing with a foot injury but has made himself available for selection.
Nice to have a tough guy like him who does not sit out 5 games with sprained wrist and stuff like that.

[thewisecrab]

Damn it. Arsenal squad now in it's barebones with Silvervest on pitch, he's the 3rd choice side back afaik. Eboue and Arshavin will play though.

Chelsea will face off against Avram Grant. Maybe the squad should be told how to tackle properly first rather than how to reduce the damage after the dead-ball is given.

@ico
Petr Cech was not booed. Just a select few in the stands voiced their opinion. Maybe it was too harsh, but I admit, I was really disappointed with Cech myself. He's doing an Almunia almost every game now

[ico]

Now this is what you call 'hilarious'....

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Almunia
Sagna
Gallas
TV
Silvestre
Cesc
Song
Diaby
Nasri
Arshavin
Walcott

Jay Emmanuel Thomas makes it to the bench alongwith Fabianski, Eduardo, Ramsey, Vela and Wilshere

[ico]

Fab scored.

Damn, Arshavin hits the post. Would have been lovely finish.

There it is,back in full force

[phuchungbhutia]

Y? do they svck so much . Gunners wats with them. I can't understand drop pt against teams of the bottom half. If they font buy gud players which is really unlikely they ll certainly wont get anything this season plus lose likes of fab, he ll probably like to play for better team n earn more

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I would have taken 4 points out 6 from these 2 games before Saturday so its not all gloomy,but we do lack the bottle to win the league.
How bad was Theo last night?Almost all of his crosses\passes hit the nearest defender.

[XTerminator]

^ for the record 85% + of his passes were inaccurate.thats shameful

[Arsenal_Gunners]

That stat seems true based on what I observed.It was frustrating as hell,even if he was off form or unfit,he could and should have done better than that.
Even that didn't make him our worst performer,Almunia outdid himself against Burnley.
Lucky to escape with a point.

Fabregas out for Hull game with a hamstring.

[Rahim]

Is it true that Henry is going to MLS?

[Kl@w-24]

Scrappy, scrappy game, but still, 3 points is all that matters right now.

Chelsea 2-1 Pompey

imo wenger shouldnt be saying this,given he too recieved criticism for fielding a team of 'kindergartens' as per Sammer,against olympiakos.wouldnt have changed much in that group had they fielded a stronger team,but still,the 'credibility' was affected ntl .

i agree with mccarthy in this case.there was no way he was gonna come out with even a point even with his full-strength team,so why risk important players when you have a game the coming weekend which you can win.

also,this is interesting:

Agree about that,maybe he is just trying to deflect the negative press away from his team.Although he has a point about prem fixtures in UEFA cup weeks.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

CL draw starts soon,expecting Chelsea to get a piss easy draw.
