Absolutely awesome. Not a great performance, but good enough to beat those suckers - which is all that matters. Now it's time to keep up the pressure. Win, win, win. All credit to Sol, he marshalled that performance magnificently. Clichy is a massive talent, and Toure and Lauren were firmly in control. Excellent.

Now we are looking more like the unbeaten side. 7 pts clear. Before we were unbeaten and were 3 pts behind the 1st placed Man Utd. That seemed too unrealistic.. being unbeaten and still not 1st ? now we're looking like the unbeaten side and we've got 4 more games to break the all time record so let's keep up the good work and the nice 6 game winning streak.
Clichy played BRILLIANT! it's too bad Ashley Cole is still young, otherwise I'd take Clichy as his successor. Clichy has been playing MUCH better than Cole did at the same age.

On the official Chelsea website:
"A sadly familiar scoreline as Arsenal once again defeated the Blues 2-1. An also familiar pattern as Chelsea took the lead this time after just 27 seconds as Gudjohnson finished with a low drive but let that lead slip once more."
Aww... poor Chelski.
Thinking they can buy the title, shove that money elsewhere!

A fantastic away performance, just perfect. We did everything right today. Our defense and midfield were brilliant and the tactics were just spot on.
Henry and Pires were very quiet, but they contributed in their own way. Dennis was great yet again, he is finding his form at just the right time.
Gilberto did a great job on the right in the second half after looking a bit out of place in the first, and Edu and Vieira were all over their midfield. Was Lampard playing?
The sending off was definate imo. The second booking, look at his face, he deliberatly clips Clichys heels to stop him getting away.
Great result at OT. It is in our hands and if we keep playing like we did today we should win the league, but you never know.

i hate terry..who scratched our bergy..come on stuttgart!!
Lauren was impressive going up today but left the deffence exposed too many times, letting Geremi get all those crosses in. I even noticed Campbell getting frustrated with him at one stage. Henry had possibly the worst game this season, nothing was working out with him. Gilberto had a good came but perhaps could have scored a goal with those 2 chances. Clichy was absolutely brilliant although Gudjonsen did get the better of him a couple of times. Pires was rather quiet posing little attacking threat. Vieira had a good game, not as good as last weeks but still impressive.
Toure and Campbell were perhaps the best players out on the field speciually dealing with corsses. Edu had another good performance. In general the game's level dropped in the second half due to the sending off and that was probably the reason behind some of the below par performances.
I really hope Reyes starts against Celta Vigo as he will be very familiar to them and will keep his confidence high if he gives in a good performance. Hopefully, that is the reason Wenger didn't play him today. Another thing I noticed was that Lauren was suffering because of his pace as Chelsea players were outrunning him. Becuase of the slower pace in the Champions League, I believe we should put in Cygan in the centre, Toure on the right and give Lauren a rest.
If we stay in the form we're at in the moment and keep our consistency, the League is ours for the taking.

The ultimate champions' performance: disciplined, measured, industrious, lethal. Edu was my man of the match - he always excels in the big games. Clichy comes a close second. Bergkamp's first half was virtuoso and even when he faded later he used his physical strength to retain possession and break Chelsea's rhythm. And the Manure result is equally wonderful news. The tension was killing me in the second half because I feared Chelsea would score and Leeds would capitulate at OT, but neither happened.
How much fun was it to see the Cheslea fans holler and whine?
