So we're home vs. Everton in the FA Cup.

1 Arsenal v Everton
2 Brighton & Hove Albion or Hull City v Sunderland
3 Sheffield United v Sheffield Wednesday or Charlton Athletic
4 Manchester City v Wigan Athletic

Go Arsenal and Wigan!

Not that Jose is even worth a response, but if you're going to have a response, this is it:

Ha. 19th century football and then go and draw 0-0 to West Ham like we played defensive and didn't have 30 shots in that match. Like Arsenal didn't go to Old Tratford and try to draw. He brings up old Chelsea managers & our history like they have anything to do with Arsene vs Mou. Jose loves the attention, I'll grant you that but what he does is take the spotlight off his players when they suck (our STs) and then put it back on them when they do well (Eden). Like I've said other places, Chelsea is creating their history now.

At least when it comes to me, if you're going to attack Arsene, you're attacking Arsenal, which is how I think many fans view it. That is why the views in the video are shared by most supporters.

Also, I will never buy that Jose does what he does to take the spotlight off players. To me, it's just another product of his main goal, which is the spotlight always being on himself. And that goes far beyond his previous and current days at Chelsea. He's a great football manager, but he's quite the specialist in being a prick, and anyone who thinks it's simply him manipulating the media for the sake of his players are most likely wrong.

Defend his tactics, his tirades, and his playful jabs, but don't defend the stupider things he does, such as the shot he took at Arsene.

Ozil now 0-for-2 on penalties this year.

What does Arsene have against Podolski?

In the past I know I've read about how his defensive work is lacking, but I don't see it that much. I'd love for him to get chances to start.

Then why do his current and ex-players love him so much? Essien calls him "daddy". Drogba said he would follow him wherever. Eto said some despicable things about Chelsea and then signed with us because of Mourinho (even took a pay-cut). Even CR7 has said some complimentary things about him after leaving Real. He turns good players into great players and great players into elite. He's repeatably taken the spotlight off players who have dipped in their performance and puts all of the spotlight on himself. Like I said, some of it is ego driven but he plays mind games to almost exhausting extent.

I really hope Wenger allows Ozil to get some rest these next few matches. I feel like everyone has been really getting on Ozil's for his form but I just think he is getting overworked, he is just not use to playing these types of minutes plus no winter break. The EPL schedule can be harsh, it is the reason why Arshavin could never cut it because he could not get use to the conditioning.

Love this image from the match today. Love that guy.

Great individual goals are fun to watch, but I much prefer the team goals like the one Rosicky scored. Beautiful one touch passing, leaving the defense wondering what hit them.

It wasn't as good as Jack's against Norwich, but I enjoyed it more because of who was able to score it. Love that guy, also.

I couldn't help but wonder if Ozil's "dead leg" was a bit of a lie in order to get him some rest. If so, great. He needed it, and we got the job done.

Rosicky got a new deal. Which is great, because despite his age he's been fantastic.

Now hopefully Sagna will sign one as well.

I've given up on Sagna signing. I just hope that means we bring in a true replacement, as Jenkinson is not ready.

My hope is that if we're somehow able to win a trophy, that will help convince Sagna. But yeah, I'm not optimistic on that front. And I don't think we have to worry about not bringing in a replacement, as Jenkinson's low number of appearances this year seems to indicate that AW doesn't have too much confidence in his abilities.

Watching Olympiakos beat Man Utd like that makes me puzzled on why Arsenal could not turn it up a notch to defeat them at the Emirates, I feel like there is no excuse.
