Are Arsenal Back?!

Just a quick mention on the game of the weekend at Stamford Bridge on the Saturday gone.

After beating Chelsea 5-3 Arsenal made it 8 wins in 9 games in all competitions and you could clearly see the confidence is back along with the belief. question is does this mean Champions League qualification is back on? maybe more?

Very few teams have gone to the Bridge and hit Chelsea so hard but the best thing that can happen is the the boys in red take one game at a time and see where it goes.

Whats your thoughts? Are arsenal Back?

Diouf to Doncaster.

Whats peoples thoughts on this?

El Hadji Diouf has had his moments in the past both good and bad but is he really going to be Doncasters knight in shinning armour? or just a novelty signing in an attempt to try and increase player and fan morale?!

The side that is currently laying 23rd in the championship will more then likely think this can only be a good signing but is that really the case?

should be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

Gerrard Out Again!.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is out for another month due to having fluid drained from his ankle on Sunday... he watched photographed leaving hospital on crutches and due to this injury could miss the Liverpool matches against Chelsea and Man City.

I think the one silver lining for the fans is that it has no relevance to his former groin injury and therefore no real long term issues but whats the fans real thoughts on Gerrard's latest time on the sidelines?

Have Liverpool learned to deal without having their captain? or Is he as important as ever in their quest for success?

Bad Week for Chelsea...

Well just over a week has gone since the QPR match and the count is as follows:

• 6 goals conceded
• 2 Red cards
• 2 loses
• 1 racism investigation

and finally....... 1 slip that may have ended Chelsea's title hopes already and its only just touching into November.
Granted its not the end of the world but conceding 5 goals at the Bridge against London rivals Arsenal just didn't seem like the team we have been used to seeing since the Russian revolution began.

Where do Chelsea go from here?

The Blues will need to go and get a morale lifting victory tonight against Genk in the Champions League otherwise the away visit to Blackburn on Saturday could prove to be a very difficult task as it was when Arsenal lost to Rovers after a confidence draining start.

So are they going through a similar issue as their north London rivals or is this simply just a blip? either way the fans will be expecting an uplifting 7 days with 2 wins and if not then the restlessness could set in and that only spells bad news....

What do you think?
