Journalists have already pre-written their Lukaku narratives as new successor to Drogba in tormenting Arsenal. Really really hoping we show a sturdiness today with the crowd backing.

He has two goals against us in fifteen games. Drogba had probably around fifteen in his first two

Indeed! its absolutely lazy and cliched. James Olley should have a word with himself for his weekend piece.

The only game where Lukaku wrecked us was against Everton.

Never seen Monreal struggle against an attacker like he did in that 3-0 loss.

I think Havertz will wreck us today.

In his press-conference, it sounded to me like Arteta not only asked but was annoyed that it wasn't postponed, but didn't want to directly say it.

Sounded like it alright. TBH I don't want to see that become the norm. I'd rather teams just had to get on with and field who's available.

Media was saying they were surprised arsenal didn't ask for postponement. The correct protocol is to request officially for the match to be postponed.

Anyway happy with Martinelli up top.

Adams absolutely lambasting us for letting Emi leave and our entire way of managing the gk situation. He's absolutely right in his suggestions too.

He's the one the media should be focusing on. The one player Chelsea have that we can't contain I reckon.

No confidence in getting a point or three but crossing my fingers

The one good thing about Arteta is that he usually sets us up well against teams that are better than us. If we concede early I think it's pretty much lost but if not then anything can happen.

More than Havertz, think Mount might be the one to cause us most problems.

Doubt our capacity to score today, but conversely don't feel they will dominate us, particularly if they are not starting Kante.

Shit, I think my IPTV box just bricked an update. Anyone got a working stream for this game?

Think I might watch the new Borat movie. Anyone seen it?

I just cannot see this game being any fun

Decent attempt by ESR, easy save in the end

Great flick

Good to see Holding back. I think we missed him against the Bus Wankers.

Smith Rowe has started very brightly.
