Where's smurfy?

Great game!

[Kongster]

Well done for beating Chelsea on their own turf - you've made my weekend (can't say the for same Smurf though)

Cheers, lads!

[Matt]

Bizarre. You beat the best two teams in the country, then another week get whopped by a Sunday League team!

[neoboy259]

Yup, will most probably get beat by Wigan next week!

It totally goes against my nature to cheer for Arsenal and whilst I actually didn't care which way this match went (it was win/win for me. Chelsea lose closes the points gap for Utd, Arsenal lose = I get to laugh at Arsenal losing 3 on the spin) but I burst out laughing when Arsenal's second went in.

All credit to them, I think your boys played like it meant something today.

All credit to A rsenal today,to go to The Bridge anfd limit Chelsea to one shot on target all game, and for Almunia to not have to make a save all second half is a fantastic performance from a team that is suppose to be in poor form on/off the pitch.

Thought Arsenal s tackling was outstanding specially in the second half they realy got about Chelsea and limited them to no time on the ball at all plus JT was a lucky boy not to be shown a straight red.

Well done your lot.

plus JT was a lucky boy not to be shown a straight red.

Agreed. When you compare what Ronaldo got his first yellow card to Terry's tackle, it shows how ridiculous his booking was.

[Matt]

JT was a lucky boy not to be shown a straight red.

He's need to decapitate an opponent to get a red. And then it wouldn't be upheld on appeal!

[Kongster]

Anyone see Bendter's pink boots as he came on for Adebayor?

You've got 30 minutes to save face on this one lads ..

Burnley 1-0 Arsenal

[toythatkills]

2-0, you mean...

[VR46]

Sounds like Burnley are playing well and Arsenal are trying to be too cocky (trying to walk the ball in to the net - for fellow IT Crowd watchers )

[dataDave]

Holy ****. I might actually start supporting my home team for the first time ever!

I'm shocked!

[toythatkills]

Sounds like the Burnley keeper is having an outstanding game. It could easily be 2-6 if they had Roy Carroll in goal.

Saying that, it could equally be 7-6 to them, so who knows.

Fair play to Burnley, they were much the better side. Was a good run for the youngsters and the fringe players, had some cracking moments.
At least we got further than Cheslea and Liverpool
