THIS IS IT! To me, this match is OUR CL/FA CUP FINAL.
I know The Arsenal are out of the title race, but wouldn't it be soooo sweet to knock Chelsea around for 90 minutes and hand 'em a loss??
I know this season has been an emotional rollercoaster, but Arsenal beat Man Utd twice and if we were to win against Chelsea; it would show both clubs that sure we didn't have the best of seasons, BUT we still are tough enough to choke their chains.

My Prediction: 2-1 to The Arsenal. I know we are injured and inexperienced compared to Chelsea, but they are tired with all the fixtures piling up. The emotion of the home support and current bad blood between both clubs will give us the boost and mental edge to win.

2-1 to the Arse in a gripping last minute win. We'll concede a predictable opener to someone like Joe Cole, then Eboue crosses to Ade for the equalizer, and Cesc hammers home the winner in the 90th minute. Drogba hits the post two times...with his head.

Mourinho had better not play Bridge instead of Cashley. That would piss me off more than anything. Again, 2-1 to the Arsenal! This is it for us, a game we have all had penciled in since Cashley left in August. We musn't dissapoint him...:D

[GriffinGunner]

I'm reserving the tactical discussion until I see Chelsea's state after the Liverpool match. And I don't preach abuse in most circumstances, but the devil in me would be quite content to see A$$Cole receive quite the verbal dress-down.

Especially after having been eleiminated from the ECL. ;)

I agree. I'm almost worried that Mourinho won't play Cashley - I'd be gutted. We have all been waiting so long, it would be typical Jose to spoil it for us. However, it would just make the jibes stronger - how much of a bottler would Cole look then?!? Anywayz, 2-1 as well. I think we all agree that Chelsea will score. But Adebayor will play brilliant and pull us through.

Adebayor with the brace. Cashley chased off the pitch by an angry mob.

I'm gonna do it... I'm predicting a Hleb goal!

if he doesnt play could we then sing
"chelsea reject, chelsea reject, chelsea reject" etc...
or does that backfire with billy on our team.

Im predicting another drawn Hleb penalty, as i said in a different post expect Bert to post Henry like goal scores next season under the new gameplan to have Hleb dribble into the box and draw a fowl :D .

Great game by Liverpool. Got the lead, held off Chelsea the whole 2nd half and extra time while creating chances of their own

[Skizz]

I think Chelsea will be a bit demotivated now...realistically their only chance of a cup in this half of the season is the FA Cup, so it wouldn't surprise me if we took all three points with little resistance on Sunday.

[CRASH 4 ARSENAL]

I hope Chelsea is cashed out for Sunday, but I don't know. Sometimes when teams have nothing left to play for they end up playing their best football.

Of course, we have not been a good example of that this year.

I really hope Cashley Craphole plays. We need something to get the atmosphere going at the Grove.

If anything that should apply to us. Chelsea still have a slim shot at the title and an FA cup final to look forward to. Sure crashing out the CL hurts and probably a lot but i see that being an advantage too. Chelsea arnt resilient, when things arnt going their way they get flustered. (More off the pitch then on it.)

It's make you wonder what sort of crap Jose will come up with over the next couple of days. Or will even he be too upset/bitter to slam our players/fans/manager/club/style/players educations/etccccccccccccccc?????

1-0 to the Arsenal. Ade with a late one. Really hope we win this one. It would give me something to hang my hat on going into next season.
