An absolute scrotefest of a match from us but we're getting really good at that.
Top of the league. :scarf:
Love it.
:sick:
Urgh.
But
:patrice:
That 3 points impresses me.
FINISHING 2013 TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!!!
Seven away wins. :o
Not sure why Podolski didn't see any minutes after a goal and an assist coming off they bench against west ham but what do I know... Jenkinson coming on for Theo was madness but we got the 3 points
Watching that in a pub in Newcastle was scary in more ways than one.
Kept nervously checking the score despite telling myself not to! Relieved and happy with three points :)
Great win, scoffed it to the last kick of the game. Bring it on!! :scarf:
A hard-fought away win against an in-form team in the middle of a gruelling run of fixtures? Great result.
Defence was good (apart from Szczesny being stupid again).
Most others had poor games, but they all worked hard to ensure the win
Arsenal :bow:.
Jenkinson deserves a big :doh: for the dumbest individual moment of the season though.
great win. best win of the season that, really fought for the 3 points and will be top of the league at the start of 2014.
Zimm, whats your excuse as to why thats a poor result?
Poor performance but a great much needed 3 points.
Pub team wins. :bow:
Far from vintage but we held strong defensively. Our attacking play was a bit shit but thankfully Theo and Bif produced one decent moment together.
An excellent 3 points.
Come on you Gunners!
good to see the leagues best midfielder cabaye finish on the winning side
Jenkinson :doh:
Polish goal keeper :doh:
We should have settled for a draw though right, since they were the leagues form team?Quote:

What a dick.
Great win, away from home, carrying injuries and at the end of an atrocious run of fixtures. Not pretty but incredibly satisfying and deserved a lot more credit than the media have given us.
Koscielny and mertesacker were immense (again), as we flamini.
We still need a striker though. Hope wenger has learnt from 2007/08. I'm worried he hasn't though...
Someone needs to slap Jenkinson for that. Slow fool.Quote:

We got Sanogo coming back from injury, no worries. :coffee:Quote:

One of these days Chesney's casual clearances are going to cost us.
Jenks is such a nervy player at the best of times, bringing him on to protect a tight lead does no one any favours. We just invited Newcastle to bombard us.
Great result though, Sagna, Mert and Kos were all immense.
The ref was a complete cock, but over the course of 90 mins his bad decisions evened out for both sides.
Tbf to Jenks his first thought was timewasting from the throw in so he wasn't focused on Bendtner. I've seen some of the British lads joke about it in interviews but he's not meant to be the sharpest tool in the box either.
Looking back on it you can only just laugh at the whole incident :lol:. Mind you, if they had equalised I'd be absoutely livid about it right now.
Really? I thought he was quite decent, especially compared to the actual dickweeds like Anthony Taylor and Mike Dean who we had against Villa and Chelsea respectively.Quote:

BFG once again was MoTM. Fucking immense. So was Rosicky, never stopped running all game. Fucking give him a three year contract Wenger!
Superb result.
Our passing was possibly the worst I've seen it in years. Just couldn't keep hold of the ball at all.
How the fuck does Tiote get away with it btw?!? :lol:
Moving to a back 5 was a brilliant decision. Added security to our lead.Quote:

With Theo on the pitch and Newcastle playing a suicidily high line at the end, they were prime for the counter. Plus it would have naturally forced them a bit further back, as it was we were literally just inviting pressure for the last ten minutes and thankfully we managed to hold out.Quote:

Played like shit, still wins 1-0. Stuff of champions :bow:
Jenks :doh:
Szczesny :doh:
Giroud :doh:
Arsenal 3 yellow, Newcastle 0.... I really hope Wenger is right about him thinking, in the end ref decisions will always even out. We will be winning the rest of our games on offside goals and wrongfully given penalties :clap:
:yippee:
Szcesny needs a whack around his head. Giroud's miss was so bad, watching the replay made my asshole tighten up.
Sagna needs to be signed up to a 10 year contract right fucking now. Per and Kos were phenomenal as usual. Wilshere was horrible and so was Flamini.
That was a massive 3 points, didn't play well but ground out a 1-0 win.
Glad to see Giroud scoring again, that should give him some much needed confidence, and playin the second half whilst clearly in pain.
Proper trooper :good:
Wont get the credit he deserves on here though but still
Hard to disagree.
We got 99 problems but Bif ain't one.
:lol:Quote:
