Chelsea seems to consistently score 2 goals a game.

Soccernet has a cool results grid feature: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/grid?le....1&cc=5901

In one of the boxes, you can have it highlight the "routs" (games with 4 goal differential). Chelsea has had no routs this year. They had 2 last year, while Arsenal had 4. But they had 4 two seasons ago, more than any other team.

There's been 5 routs this year: one each by Arsenal, Portsmouth, and Wigan and two by Man U.

Arsenal CSK Moscow starting on ESPN now. Should be a great match. If Arsenal lose they are in bad shape as they still have to play at Porto.

Henry just might go offside more than any other forward in the history of football.

I don't see why either as he's got a lot of pace so he can afford to be more conservative before the ball is played.

Best. Picture. Ever. Perfect for an Arsenal/Liverpool/Chelsea fan's avatar.

Unbelievable (bad) stuff by Arsenal. They have missed two sitters where the keeper was out and they just had to touch it in.

First one Fabregas was running at close to full speed so that one is forgivable but Rosicky just took a ball in standing at about 5 yards from goal, it looked like this (keeper is K, Rosicky R):
<font color="white">......</font> ________
<font color="white">......</font>|<font color="white">................</font>|
......|<font color="white">................</font>|.............
<font color="white">....</font> K

<font color="white">..............</font>R

and he hit it straight to the keeper. They are controlling the game well, if they don't win they have only thenselves to blame.

I love him, but the answer is ruud. I always look at it like this though, if a striker isn't being caught offside a couple times a game, then he isn't doing his job IMO


I have never seen a team look so great in the open field and look so awful in front of the goal

[JaredL]

agreed.

And what do you know, Henry started his run too soon. Should have been sent sooner that time though.
