I hate our rivals, but i cant help but feel abit worried. Van de Vaart and Bale have been scoring a lot lately.

Worst decision ever by a great manager Mr. Wenger. Sub out the most threatening player Nasir and kept Cesc who is below his best. Just why is he so stubborn zzzz

The subs on the 75th min mark came too late...15mins...hard to make an impact, especially when spurs are counterattacking at every chance they have after Bale's goal.
Penalty was unfortunate, as Kosci (or was it Chamkh?) raised his arm to shield his face, Cesc hand was holding onto the rising arm. :sweat:
Overall, its was a horrid 2nd half, they allowed spurs to get back into the game. Perhaps getting complacent after 2 goals up...they should have continued to press for the 3rd goal go for the massive kill, just before half time, instead they chill and start passing around. Afterall it's a derby game, there's no such thing as 2 goals up 'give u face', more goals up, a cushion, it's for the fans who pay to watch them. Bad bad 2nd half.

Wasted a good chance to sit on top as Chelsea drop points again. It will definitely be one of the highlights in the future when we flash back on history of this North London derby.

Last night's performance was as appalling as it was disappointing!
Threw away a 2 goal 1st half lead to allow Spurs to come back and win the game on our home ground. In my opinion, Fabregas was the main culprit as he literally 'handed' the penalty to Spurs when he raised his arm to block the free kick.
Overall the team got complacent in the 2nd half, they could not deal with Spurs counter attacking tactics and looked defensively frail when under pressure as usual.
It is not a performance worthy of a title challenger and as far as I am concerned, they are not going to win any trophies this season if they play like this.

No matter the results, will still wear red & white (and away yellows)... :thumbsup:
Bit worried bout the draw though, judging on paper, very likely to get knocked out. If it does happen, maybe they could reflect on their performances, so its been a let down. Doesnt matter if they were at the top of the table, it was because the other teams performed badly and not us outperforming the others. :sweat:
I worry for the coming match against Stoke as well, might just get suckerpunched by them. Although everywhere they are saying Stoke is gonna roll over and get whalloped by us. :sweat:

Wenger is putting up a brave front but i think he must be feeling really disappointed that his team got Barcelona in the last 16. Looking at all the English teams i think Chelsea has the easiest draw and Arsenal the hardest.

It's a really good win for us. I'm not trying to take away any gloss on this victory, but it's seldom Chelsea made such mistakes (2 times for the 2 goals). Important thing was we managed to keep the composure and capitalized on it. Good Job. :thumbsup:
One more thing : RVP kept falling down easily throughout the game. The ref just won't give anything to him. Hope he don't use this tactics too often and start showing his skills ;p
