Taking away the entire if’s and buts’ we were awesome going forward, simply relentless, the passing and movement, the desire to win and the overall technicality of the play was quite astonishing. Some of the performances were outstanding but the most important was the fact that we just wouldn’t lie down. Anyone who didn’t think we would lose when Mata’s deflected shot went in to make it 3-3 hasn’t been paying attention recently. We didn’t though, we stood up, we got back, we defended as a unit and as soon as John Terry slipped and landed right on his chavvy, muppet-like, bigoted face I knew it was over. You could see from the celebrations after what it meant to beat a big team away from home, you could see from the homo-eroticism of the goal celebrations we are starting to become a team. However take nothing away from the individuals here, I am always one of Theo Walcotts most vocal critics but on Saturday when going forward he completely owned Ashley Cole, owned him like Darren Ambrose with a mobile phone. Gervinho, Song, Dos Santos all chipped in with great games (after the initial bombardment) and of course RvP made it 27 goals in 28 EPL games…yes really. But for me the 2 that really stood out were Koscielny and Ramsey, both of whom have looked completely out of their depths at time this season but both who seemed to be everywhere on Saturday, in fact at one point I actually wondered if Arteta had changed his name to Ramsey as there seemed to be 2 of him out there. Funny that yesterday everyone was talking about Parker yet Ramsey gets very little or no mention for Saturdays performance…Also kudos to the MOTD twats who managed to give us no credit whatsoever while taking for 10 minutes about the game and how grand it was. (Also what is this calling Brits by their first names and foreigners by their surnames thing?) I also wonder if all of those who were so vocal in calling for Wengers head and stating how he was a fool and had “lost it” will be quite as vocal about how he isn’t a fool and has indeed “found it” again with 8 wins in 9 games now. I haven’t actually stopped smiling yet and the thought of Jon Terry with his face in the mud as RvP danced around the shockingly ordinary Peter Cech to make it 3-4 to THE Arsenal will live forever as one of my favourite images in football history.
