Ok, this is what I don't get. I know that there is rampant diving (I complain about it all the time) and calls given to whiners and divers, but how is it not a penalty when Moses is blatantly pushed over in the penalty box? This isn't even a discussion. You can see the defender literally come in and not just step into him to get in front of the ball, but shove him over.

As a side note, Moses is playing like shit. Just holds on to the ball all damn day, losing opportunities.

Ox finally gets on the pitch and gets a penalty right away. 4-1 as Arteta slots home. On second look, should have been a free kick.

It's probably the ref not seeing it, or just being incompetent. It seems like every game has a least one clear penalty that doesn't get called. : / They need to review footage after the games so they can get the calls better.

That said, that foul on Ox was outside the box, but it makes up for the no-call Arsenal had earlier. Perfect penalty finish from Arteta

Oh, and Torres is fucking useless, as always. Seriously. The single worst signing by an athletic organization in my 22 years of existence.

Very good game. I know it was only Reading but very confident performance from Arsenal, and pretty much everyone I wanted to see get an app got one. Gervinho is the obvious man of the match but I thought Ramsey and Rosicky were great too, and hope Nacho is okay. However I thought Podolski seemed a bit lost at the CF position...

We got big help from them. It's too bad Swansea couldn't tie it up against Spurs though : /

So fucking poor. What the fucking fuck was that. Got to be one of the worst performances in years, literally got out played in every department from the back to the front. So poor.
What is the point in keeping Benitez here i don't know, must be the shittest atmosphere in the dressing room all the time, better off putting the ballboy in charge for the remaining games, not like it could get any worst ffs.

At this rate, Chelsea is rollin' on out of the FA Cup as well as the Europa League like it's fucking nothing. So, mathematically speaking (as it's impossible for them to get relegated at this point), it really couldn't get much worse.

Well you could get 5th and miss out on the Champions League...

Thats how it gets worst if we don't qualify for the champions league, but going out of the FA cup and Europa League wont not be as bad as it sounds. Then we will only play once a week and actually get to play the best 11 possible week in week out as Rafa seems to think that cannot be done otherwise ;_;
