Terrace Talk: Chelsea - Arsenal danced with the devil and they got burnt

I LOVE beating Arsenal. I absolutely LOVE IT. They just take it SO badly — it’s always somebody else’s fault, they’ve always been swindled, it’s not fair, they’re the Corinthians of the English game dontcha know. There are toys scattered all around North London.

Let’s just clarify one thing before we continue — Chelsea were, by far, the better side, even when the teams were still 11 v 11.

It was pretty evident that Arsenal players had been briefed to wind Diego Costa up; sly little digs, pushes, grappling, etc. Bet they thought it was a sure-fire way to get him sent off. Well that back-fired quite spectacularly didn’t it?
