Ballack says Arsenal is predictable

German international and Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack did not mince his words in his response to Arsene Wenger's remarks after the Blues beat Arsenal 2-0 in an English Premiership clash on Sunday.

The Arsenal coach said that fans "did not get a demonstration of football" and claimed that Chelsea had "a lot of tricks" and used their experience to commit a sequence of subtle fouls.

In true honest German fashion, Ballack said that Arsenal are easy to beat because they are predictable and he believes his team and the other title challengers Manchester United will always have an upper hand over the Gunners.
