Best I have seen us play in ages.
Chambers dead. Looks serious, this could be bad.
Chambers is dead. FFS.
Now we're playing decent football again, half our team is decimated.
Old Arsenal really are back.
Mustafi coming on.
Hope this break hasnt killed the momentum we had.
Grab your prayer beads Arsenal fans. You're gonna need it.Quote:

We're cursed. Every time we get something going. Just pray that Mustafi, for once, can be sensible.
Lacazette with the flick so he can argue back with Arteta in the next training session. :ninja:
At least for once our dudes actually look up for a fight
Leno whacks it out of play and I'm fine with that.
Mount booked. :faint:
Sexy from Ozil.
Kante booked. :popcorn:
Yellow for Rudiger now. :lol:
Thugs.
Emerson hauled off, Jorginho on.
Ozil. :haha:
Stunning free kick.
Why does Guendouzi step back turning towards goal when defending the ball?
Daft.
Nelson. :lol:
Guendouzi got a bit lucky there. Nice counter from us. Nelson just cant beat Kante.
Arteta needs to give Guendouzi the hook at HT. Kid is a liability
Auba goes for goal, angle too narrow.
David Luiz. :lol:
Five added minutes.
Awful from Tomori.
Willian is a good player. Always looks dangerous. Definitely the player we need to watch out for.
That Gooner. :haha:
What a twat.
1-0 HT.
Well done.
Was that really the same group of players we’ve been watching for a year? :blink:
Best we've played for yonks
Wow we looked like a real team out there
Best game we have played in ages. Solid, committed, disciplined, just a joy really.
The fact that Lumpard made a change at 29 minutes says it all.
Auba coming back to defend has been a big help as well.
Don’t think Chelsea have more than shot on goal??
Auba defending like Mane.
Ozil playing well two games in a row.
Torreira excellent again.
Luiz actually defending.
AMN and Mustafi not having brainfarts.
WTF is going on?
Really good so far, shame about Chambers, especially as it means playing mustafi, but we just look so much better overall
HT whistle came at the right time though, chelski were starting to look dangerous
Chelski have been so cynical and should have anpther yellow or two, really annoying to see them break up some really good moves
Would like us to be 2 up but let's hope Arteta can get them going again for the second half
And i love the way we're cheering every hoofed clearance :lol:
Enjoyed that half. Another goal would be useful to get early as I could see us getting nervy towards the end of the game.
That's the first disciplined half of football I've seen from this team in... years?
Nothing spectacular. Got the passing going. Kept the shape. Players were moving to give the guy on the ball an option. Kept it simple. Booted it out of defence when required (mostly). Put as much into the defensive side of the game as the attacking.
Ozil superb. He really is a cut above everyone else on that pitch.
So glad the manager stuck with Nelson. The kid had a stinker last time out, but he was trying. So the manager says, give it another go, and now we have a proper option on the right that's giving the chavs a ton of problems.
Arteta doing exactly what is required. Getting the basics right. One game after another, a little improvement each time. That's how we'll do it.
Actually impressed by an Arsenal performance. And at Christmas time when we're usually getting our arses handed to use.
Can we keep it up in the second half?
Glen Hoddle and Michael Owen in the studio :ilt:
Also, a long, long time since the opponents have had to kick us off the pitch to stay in the game. Really the chavs should have about 119 yellows by now.
Come on Arsenal. :bow:
See this out. :pray:
David Luiz booked.
Daft.
Auba was already bringing Willian down. :lol:
Silly foul from Luiz.
