vs

so, the first blood has been drawn..

i wouldn't say that i'm too dissapointed with result [been through worst than this].... half-relieve and half-dissapointed [yea, i'm a human] .. would be nice if it went the other way.. but, like what my mom once said "Bola it Bulat' = "the Ball is round"...

relieve coz there still a life without Vieira.. the midfield stand up on their own with Fabregas really up to the job [though, need to cool down a bit].. Ljunberg and Pires [aaaa...] THank GOD you still at Highbury.. Helb, Reyes, Flamini looks very promising .... and Henry ---> did the job as a captain.. Arsenal deliver what they called attacking football .. and the beauty of the build up is there, though a little bit of hasty in the first half [too much energy,i presume]..

but, the real thing that Arsene need to sort out of this game is the defence.. Chelsea did a very good job in defence.. the minute any Arsenal player got ball, they just close in and made sure there's no space to flick the ball, though they did miss once when Fabregas nick through the goal.. while the minute Chelsea went counter-attack, you can see a very big space on Arsenal half, just for Drogba to pounce on Sanderos as he did with both goal..

apart from that; it really a good game.. Chelsea didn;t stamp out the authority [except in defence], but, in Arsenal case... this is not going to be one-horse race season, for sure...can't wait too see what BIG-mouthy Kenyon would say after this!

P/S: very excited seeing Pires again.. [after nearly 2 month of saying "good Morning" to his poster]
