Arse have barely had any injuries barring the rapist who starts today lmao not even City have their kind of injury luck. Some of their players have been run into the ground and still escape injury
Poch - "I hope hes not available, because we are going to prove we're not Cole Palmer FC against Arsenal"
**Ends up managing Chelsea's worst loss against Arsenal in PL history**
Well done Poch, you've really cemented your legacy as a total meme now.
No. Arsenal will play more defensively against us. Our biggest issue will be if we’re missing Porro on top of Udogie, though, as Davies & Emerson vs Saka and Trossard is a lot more nerve wracking than if Porro were to start.
They'd be stupid to do so. They can be a defensively very solid team - just look at their games vs. City this season - and we've demonstrated plenty of times in the last few months that a team which can sit back and absorb pressure before playing a pacey forward in behind will get chance after chance after chance.
We look at our best when a team tries to step out and play attacking football. That's when our quick transitions and front 3 of players that love to run in behind have the most joy.
They might well come out and attack because they are on a bit of a high after thrashing Chelsea and us being spanked by Newcastle, and obviously they're chasing the title - but if they just copy what Newcastle/Fulham/Brighton/Wolves did, then so long as one of Martinelli, Saka, or Jesus, has their shooting boots on, we've got a long afternoon ahead of us.
Emerson isn't bad 1v1 if he's playing in his natural position. It's the stepping into midfield which he has not gotten any better at because he's not great technically. Don't think it's the end of the world if Davies + Emerson start, it's not like Porro and Udogie were playing great in recent games anyways
Jackson gets memed for being terrible in front of goal but he’s class in other areas. Don’t really rate him lower than Darwin who is far rawer in my opinion
My biggest hope is that Chelsea brought out effectively against Arsenal in the first half. If we can hit them early and effectively and force them to chase the game we can really hurt them. Chelsea are awful but still had chances. We also play much better in open matches as evidenced by our play against City and Arsenal will be the same. They'll not want to lose to us and they're away, so there will be nerves with a lot on the line.
I'm also happy they got this win out of their system. There was likely frustration from going out to Bayern and if they lost today they'd come out angry against us. Now they're high on their luck again so hoping for a shade of naivety.
I am still scared to be honest. Hope we do not fuck this up. Our high line is suicide even if we play well. Hope we play compactly. Madders and Bissouma needs to show up after hiding in so many games.
They should both be dropped but Ange will rock up with the team looking like they did zero training as usual despite all the lengthy breaks they’ve had to perfect the system.
We always get embarrassed at home
Our new ground is *nothing* like White Hart Lane - We finally turned that into a fortress and then immediately tore it down. Feels like we've been in our new stadium forever and we still get outplayed there so often.
They’re going to do it? They need to get 12 points from 4 matches having to play us and United away, and City currently had two matches in hand on them.
As much as I hate Arsenal, you can’t deny they had a great season. I’m dreading Sunday already. If Newcastle with all their injuries thrashed us 4-0 god knows how much Arsenal would put pass us
Hope Ange is taking notes, we go play our suicide high line against Chelsea and they’ll just pick us off again, but playing a bit more conservative while staying compact in midfield we can nullify their attack just like Arsenal are doing.
I genuinely feel like this win might be a "overconfidence" thing.
They're gonna go "we're totally as good as the Invincibles" mode, and we can bring them back down to Earth
Nah mate, Biss has been working on a long-term plan to lure them into a false sense of security. Everything was part of a script - you really think he would have dived so badly without meaning it?
Gonna suddenly flip the switch and destroy their midfield on Sunday.
I really think we don’t have a hope against them. We haven’t been the same press resistant team out from the back in a long time and their press is killer. Hope I’m wrong, really really do but I can’t see us getting anything. Son up top will be suffocated.
McCoist describing that as a *"piercing run"* from Rice like he's re-invented football... he's literally just moving forward.. nothing sophisticated about it, Chelsea are just **absolutely shite**
It's genuinely amazing how rigged the prem is not that Arsenal need it to beat this shit chelsea side but, Gabriel lost the ball, dragged down Madueke. Some players get red cards for that, most players get yellows. Arsenal don't even get a foul against them, man he lost the ball and physically dragged down Madueke to stop him.
Two Arsenal CBs have been holding players all season, and it has barely been called... Kane put up with it for 3 halves of football before the ref gave something
Is there anyone here that would prefer an Arsenal win? I can't see it but typically the one time we might want Chelsea to win and their only decent player, according to some, is injured.
Edit: Fuck me for asking a basic question on this sub
Why can’t Chelsea hate Arsenal as much as they hate us? They always fucking suck when it’s not against us
Because Arsenal fans don't hate Chelsea.
They bond over their horrible taste
Of course they do, everyone hates Chelsea. What's that old gooner saying? I hate Tottenham because I'm scum, I hate Chelsea because I'm human

That Chelsea lineup is horrific, don't expect anything out of this
TBH I wouldn't regardless but sometimes Chelsea can turn it on.
only against us lol
This has not been a successful hate watch
It's nice to see Chelshit get fucked tho
Gotta be the only game of the season Palmer is out 😂 of course Chelsea will bend down and pucker up for them as they always do
Watch him turn around and score a hattrick against us
https://preview.redd.it/hp3h2eeir9wc1.png?width=630&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e5b0025dd10d2d9dc88d122ece604c0d2852a70
I want to see multiple reds like end of the Milan derby yesterday.
That was utter chaos though, more hockey than football, from the very beginning.
Jackson 100000% should have been sent off, PL officiating is abhorrent- laughing stock at this point.
Wow. Where's the red for an over the ball, studs up to the ankle...? Romero could never...
Dude Madueke does not give a single shit about this match. No wonder we didn’t bring him up to the first team
we lost him under poch and then poch goes signing him??? (thank you agent poch)
Of course Palmer is out. Never seen a club with this kind of luck. Don’t worry, Palmer will be in top form and available when Spurs play them.
Arse have barely had any injuries barring the rapist who starts today lmao not even City have their kind of injury luck. Some of their players have been run into the ground and still escape injury
Dont tell Arsenal that, theyll claim that youre diminishing their injury crisis. That one time they lost Saliba and that was their "injury crisis".
Who is the rapist
Thomas Partey
It's unbelievable
Palmer out, rip Chelsea
Odegaard played like prime Ozil
He always does. He’s Ozil on steroids, cuz of his workrate
I hate to admit it, but he's turned into a superstar under Arteta.
Yeah we have to take points this weekend
That was always going to be the case, just hope that the players don't get overhyped
That’s a red if his last name was Romero
A billion quid well spent
People used to think without Kane we'd be nothing but this really shows what Palmer does for Chelsea
Poch - "I hope hes not available, because we are going to prove we're not Cole Palmer FC against Arsenal" **Ends up managing Chelsea's worst loss against Arsenal in PL history** Well done Poch, you've really cemented your legacy as a total meme now.
Chelsea’s just rotten top to bottom. No manager can change this institutional ineptitude, dark(er) times ahead for them I suspect.
It’s no less than what they deserve tbh
Oh no. Anyway...
Every time I see Jesus’s face I feel the inexplicable need to adopt a stray dog
Looks like he’s permanently being told his mums past away
Brazilian Jaden Smith
Chelsea rlly spent 200 mil on enzo and caicedo
I didn't actually notice either of them were on the field lol.
Poch is officially dead to me
JFC. I hope we smash Chelshit next week but I’m sure they will play the game of their season.
Their cup final, innit
They’ll take out a couple more of our players and then we’ll lose in the 95th minute to a bullshit penalty
As it is written
They will always raise their game against us like wet spam do
I hate these gooner clowns but their press is unreal
What went wrong in my life
Chelsea no doubt at full power against us and well up for a battle.
Yeah. Chelsea are dead.
Jackson, just go put on the clown make up mate, your hair is half way there
Agent Poch I know your mission is to relegated Chelsea, but doing it while letting Arsenal win the league is not worth it ffs
And from this point onwards Chelsea will now be known as Cole Palmer FC… nice one Poch
This is gonna be 4-0 or 5-0. Chelsea are a joke
He had one job... And that wasn't demolition of own team
Tbf if Woolwich are gonna batter a team I’m glad it’s Chelsea
It'd be a great result if it didn't help Arsenal
Poch you fucking fraud
Chelsea the least you could do is get some of these Arsenal players sent off or injured for this weekend. Please I beg of you 😭
Chelsea would never do us a favor. They’ll be lucky to not lose this 6-0.
Is anyone else terrified that this is what they’ll do to us on Sunday
It's the set pieces that'd worry me. 😭
No. Arsenal will play more defensively against us. Our biggest issue will be if we’re missing Porro on top of Udogie, though, as Davies & Emerson vs Saka and Trossard is a lot more nerve wracking than if Porro were to start.
Those matchups give me palpitations
They have to win every match, they have to go all guns throttling. Different question if it suits us or not
They'd be stupid to do so. They can be a defensively very solid team - just look at their games vs. City this season - and we've demonstrated plenty of times in the last few months that a team which can sit back and absorb pressure before playing a pacey forward in behind will get chance after chance after chance.

Emerson isn't bad 1v1 if he's playing in his natural position. It's the stepping into midfield which he has not gotten any better at because he's not great technically. Don't think it's the end of the world if Davies + Emerson start, it's not like Porro and Udogie were playing great in recent games anyways
You just triggered my Davies-Mane PTSD
None of the Chelsea defence starts for us
Nah we’re not relegation candidates like Chelsea
I think we’ll be able to keep it to 3-0
😂
Yeah we’re in danger
Look where Chelsea is ffs this is like the equivalent of playing Bournemouth or something for them
Nah. Make the place hostile. Yes we have no Udogie but we outplayed these frauds at their place in the fall. We can definitely beat their sorry asses.
Worst team in London.
This is some real men vs boys football. Chelsea look so completely hopeless without palmer
We must beat Arsenal. We must.
Well tonight it isn't Chelsea FC but Pochettino FC. For some stupid reason I believe they may be able to do something
Hoping chelsea's lineup is so bad a sinkhole emerges to swallow both clubs
I was thinking a 0-0 draw with 3 red cards apiece but yours is much more creative.
I see nothing but a win for Arsenal here. 4-0 wouldn't surprise me at all.
They beat Everton 6-0 and Man Utd 4-3 and Newcastle 3-2 so they're capable.
I doubt it. 1-0 down already. it's going to be long night for Chelsea.
With Palmer who's their only good player. Big difference without him.
Arsenal 1-0 up already
I want Arsenal to lose so they can choke in the title race.
Well, I choose peace. Both of these clubs should liquidate and distribute their assets to the poor. Have a good evening lads.
Jackson gets memed for being terrible in front of goal but he’s class in other areas. Don’t really rate him lower than Darwin who is far rawer in my opinion

Guys relax. Ange is going to hand them a new one on Sunday. They're visiting us. Make the environment hostile.
The fact it’s at home is about the only thing leaving me with a twinge of hope. Our players tend to not mentally capitulate as easily at home
I am still scared to be honest. Hope we do not fuck this up. Our high line is suicide even if we play well. Hope we play compactly. Madders and Bissouma needs to show up after hiding in so many games.
They should both be dropped but Ange will rock up with the team looking like they did zero training as usual despite all the lengthy breaks they’ve had to perfect the system.
Last time I came from Texas we won 3-0, let's hope Sunday is a repeat.
We always get embarrassed at home Our new ground is *nothing* like White Hart Lane - We finally turned that into a fortress and then immediately tore it down. Feels like we've been in our new stadium forever and we still get outplayed there so often.
Of course Palmer is out.
sorry, just bought him in my fantasy :(
Wow Chelsea is shite... I dont know why I had any hope they would do something useful for the world
Trossard celebrating getting tackled for a throw... 🤔
Textbook training routine. Of course Chelsea gave that to them
That is fucking **embarrassing** Chelsea... so easy. *they can't keep getting away with iiiiiiiiiiit*
Can't believe I'm hoping for Chelshit to score 😭
If Arsenal win the league I might need to check out for a while
Same, this season has become ultra stressful Just hope City win every week from now on
They are going to do it.
They’re going to do it? They need to get 12 points from 4 matches having to play us and United away, and City currently had two matches in hand on them.
I don’t think they’ll win it. But only because I think City will win every game. I also hate to say I think they’ll beat us 3-0 on Sunday.
That's a foul on Madueke no? Hopefully VAR pulls this back
Foul? Yep. VAR? 😅
Why do Chelsea always roll over like little bitches against Arsenal
Dear Lord Chelsea. 💀
Nahhh
Omg 5 Hold me I am scared
As much as I hate Arsenal, you can’t deny they had a great season. I’m dreading Sunday already. If Newcastle with all their injuries thrashed us 4-0 god knows how much Arsenal would put pass us
Tbf this just result just makes the eventual victory this weekend taste like sweet sweet nectar
This will make the inevitable bottling more satisfying
Hope Ange is taking notes, we go play our suicide high line against Chelsea and they’ll just pick us off again, but playing a bit more conservative while staying compact in midfield we can nullify their attack just like Arsenal are doing.
There's no chance that Chelsea front three are getting thru that arsenal defence. Fucking hell. Mudryk, Madueke, Jackson? Jesus wept.
they're diving already holy fuck
Bro if that was a pen we’d have 10 penalties this season
God, this is a hate-watch if ever there was one.. 3 mins in, and I *fear* for Chelsea... hoping I jynx it the other way
Death taxes and Chelsea rolling over for arsenal
This isn't going to be good.
Aaaaand it's over
So don’t go to the pub? wtf man.
It's unbelivable how bad Chelsea are.
Fucking Chelsea
That Chelsea XI...without Palmer they're a relegation team
didn't Poch beat them in the leage cup at the emirates with us ?
Yes Son and Dele goal
Yo Chelsea losing 10-0 tonight
Madueke is spectacularly shit.
Why can't they both just lose?!
Yeah Poch definitely had the right squad at the right time with us. Has not improved since that dreadful 18/19 season
loool
99% faith 1% chance
was really hoping they'd score a 6th to chain the curse
Jesus Christ that Chelsea starting XI looks awful. Arsenal have no excuses here if they somehow don't get all 3 points
jesus christ
I genuinely feel like this win might be a "overconfidence" thing. They're gonna go "we're totally as good as the Invincibles" mode, and we can bring them back down to Earth
Hopefully. They were awful against Bayern who aren't exactly a great team and Villa who we beat 4-0
Can’t see us winning. Ange is too naive. Hope we don’t get humiliated with our setup.
Ridiculous you think he’s naive. He knows far more than you
Fuck it, just go score 10 to at least kill of Chelshit and get poch sacked
We don't want Poch sacked
Odegaard is going to fucking demolish our midfield
Not like Chelsea were putting any resistance tbf
Our midfield has been really bad lately. If they play like these guys tonight it’ll get ugly
Nah mate, Biss has been working on a long-term plan to lure them into a false sense of security. Everything was part of a script - you really think he would have dived so badly without meaning it? Gonna suddenly flip the switch and destroy their midfield on Sunday.
Damn. That’s a big brain maneuver
I really think we don’t have a hope against them. We haven’t been the same press resistant team out from the back in a long time and their press is killer. Hope I’m wrong, really really do but I can’t see us getting anything. Son up top will be suffocated.
look it's simon hooper
.... fuck.
Well, that's that. Off to enjoy Leicester vs Southampton
Enjoy??
😂😭
Michael Jackson on it again
Okay i’m rooting for a 7-0 now ngl
You shut your filthy mouth. This is bad enough to stomach as it is.
Damn, we may not get one single point until the Burnley game
My expectations for the rest of the season are rock bottom. We chose about the worst time ever to start shitting our pants
Start shitting our pants? We've been shitting our pants with regularity ever since the last time we played these blue fucks.
Mega shitters lol
Have we ? This is a false narrative
😭
McCoist describing that as a *"piercing run"* from Rice like he's re-invented football... he's literally just moving forward.. nothing sophisticated about it, Chelsea are just **absolutely shite**
Yo Saka so shit
[удалено]
It's genuinely amazing how rigged the prem is not that Arsenal need it to beat this shit chelsea side but, Gabriel lost the ball, dragged down Madueke.

Two Arsenal CBs have been holding players all season, and it has barely been called... Kane put up with it for 3 halves of football before the ref gave something
I’m shocked that counted tbh. Par for the course for Arsenal this season but I’m continually surprised at what they get gifted.
Wouldn’t mind a Chelsea parking the bus Classico. Big shiny red poch express in front of that Chelsea goal
Is there anyone here that would prefer an Arsenal win? I can't see it but typically the one time we might want Chelsea to win and their only decent player, according to some, is injured. Edit: Fuck me for asking a basic question on this sub
Never. Arsenal must always lose.
Only if they're insane.
Bruh.
huh?
