Fabregas will be sore in the morning. Being clipped and kicked at every opportunity

[Dinny Breen]

Never in doubt 

That's a razor back gorilla of their back...

Any more wacky cartoons for me Dinny 

Wasn't 100% right as i had money on Arsenal to win 2-1

In fairness Ross4life you did call it but most goons on this board were raised on the pragmatism of Terry Neill, Don Howe and George Graham we just didn't believe but belief is a funny thing and I think Arsenal will really push on from this win, the average age of that side was 23 I think...

And for 18 years of age I thought Wilshere was superb...

Won't be getting too carried away by tonights result, two years ago Arsenal beat Chelsea in Stamford bridge & still finished 12 points behind them.

Though saying that i expect Arsenal to win the league Cup (first cup for 6 years) & won't be surprised if they shock the footballing world by knocking Barcelona out.

Great result - although for a period of time Chelsea defended like 5 year olds in a little kickers league. Positives were plentiful - Wilshire, Song and Fiberglass were very controlling in the midfield - Cesc always oozes class but Wilshire put in a great shift. How so many players fall for that same 270 degree spin that Nasri uses to go back outside on his right foot after cutting inside is funny to me, but he had a good game also. Walcott was fantastic after his early jitters, even if one or two of his final touches werent the best. I was glad he saw the square ball to Fabregas for the second - I wouldnt have seen him scoring it against the advancing Petr Chech. That said - what a finish for the third! I was a bit nervous when Wenger took him off - a majority of our good defense yesterday was based through the attacking threat of walcott on the break. I'd have keep that side intact until maybe the 80th or 85th minute - but then what would I know?

Tremendous result. Chelsea shite.

Was that the last time Rosicky Scored? He was straight through yesterday (offside albeit) and still hit the post.

Nasri has to be POTY in this form. Only for Cech's great save his effort last night would've been right up there with the best.

Completely lost that knack of hitting a scorcher since his injury. Still troubles regarding starting striker - thought Chamakh would've loved those early crosses.

6 goal win away to Wigan tonight and the Gunners are top.

Return to the scene where Flappyhandski got his name.

[gerry]

its a while since we scored 6 goals

[ross4life]

Chelsea won this fixture 0-6 so it's possible.

[ONeill]

Houl on, 5-0 will do. Phew!
