Chelsea vs. Arsenal

0-2, Premier League, Stamford Bridge, 3/10 -10

Ahead of the game I felt rather sure that we wouldn't get any points from this game, due to the thousands of injuries that seems to mounting up around us like mountains, so that way I was going to make sure I didn't expect anything.
Rather naive in the end, I have tried it a couple of times and it rarely works, and today was no exception, I was foolishly led to believe that we could at least get a point when I saw how great we played, created chances and kept some possession.
Though it turned up to be just as usual, us creating and playing nice, and them grabbing the goals.. My personal opinion is that it is down to luck, we don't have any luck at all in the final third, and everyone knows that to score goals, especially against these top teams, you'll need luck.
Fabianski played the game of his life and was not to blame for the two goals, he kept us in the game for 88 minutes or something like that, so cheers to him.

Not really much else to say, now it is a international break, and after that I actually hope to see some of our stars back, as it is almost two weeks until our next game.
We now have a seven point gap to pick up, after just seven games... Looks like we'll be the ones to catch up for another season.

Injury Update:
-Cesc almost made it to this game, so I'm counting on him to be back for the next game against Birmingham in two weeks.
-Both Robin and Theo was reported to be out until mid-october, and that has definitely passed when we play Birmingham in our next game, so with some luck they'll both be back!
-the Verminator on the other hand could be out for even longer, no one's sure how long he'll be yet though.
-Gibbs picked up an injury against Partizan, and will probably be out for two to three weeks.
