    KICKOFF: 1245 GMT/0845 EDT/0245 HST
    US TV: NBCSN

    I thought about using a Chelsea full-kit wanker for this thread, but I think this was a better choice. Anyway, no Willian, no Ramires, and likely no Mourinho. Seek and destroy.

    Same lineup, except maybe Gnabry please. If we win our next two games, we can win the title. Guys have to leave it all on the pitch. No slacking.

    I really hope Mourinho isn't suspended for this game.

    When the whistle blows and Arsene is able to celebrate his 1,000th game at Arsenal with a win, I want that smug little f*ck Mourinho to be the one shaking Wenger's hand, thanking him for his first loss at Stamford Bridge.

    We never do well against Chelsea with Mourinho at the helm.

    I would be thrilled with an ugly/lucky draw, particularly at their place.

    Let's fvcking have them. A couple years ago we went to Stamford Bridge with a poor side and spanked them. This year we're much better and so are they but with a few players missing and their douche of a manager being suspended, we could truly win. COYG!

    Still no official word . . .

    "Jose Mourinho will not face any action from the Football Association for his comments about referee Chris Foy. The governing body has yet to come to a decision however on whether the Chelsea manager should face further action after he was sent to the stands by Foy towards the end of the match at Aston Villa on Saturday."

    What a crock of shit! You can bet your ass that if Wenger said a certain ref should not call Arsenal games anymore he would be suspended in the blink of an eye.

    I'm naturally pessimistic when we go to the Bridge - Saturday will be no different, for me.

    You know it is because they play us. TV ratings will be much higher with both managers there.

    Nothing less than 3 points if we want to make realistic claims to the title.

    There was a time in the not too distant past when we utterly dominated Chelsea, breaking their hearts almost every time we played them. That all changed with Wayne Bridge's goal at Highbury (and a shit ton of cash). Here's hoping the pendulum swings this weekend! KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    On a more pragmatic tip, I think if we are going to win this it will take an extremely disciplined gutsy performance. I don't see us blowing them away, one goal will decide this. We have to make sure we get one first, force them to attack us then try and soak it up and hit them hard on the break. Hopefully Ox has his shooting boots on this week.

    Ah yes, winning despite having Santos, Song, Djourou, and Gerv in the lineup (and I think having Arshavin come on). Yes, they had Malouda and Bosingwa in the line up, too. :)


    I like our current team much more. :)

    That right there is a type of game that will almost certainly never happen with Mourinho in charge.

    Have we explored the possibility of hopping Ramsey up on some meth. and steroids for this one? We could sure use him right about now.

    I wish Willian wasn't carded off. Shurrle is a bigger goal threat.

    Word, but Schurrle doesn't have the 1v1 skill that Willian has. He also needs a little bit more service in my opinion. Honestly, I feel like if we can smother the midfield, which is likely, we can cut off all their scoring threats.
