GIROUD!!!!
2-0 bif
NQ = :haha:
What a player :bow:
Wenger jumping up and down like a lunatic.
Bif heads in the second with total disregard for his quiff.
Wow! Ramsey does something positive at last. A good Giroud goal.
I could have scored that. Not even Giroud could miss.Quote:

Theo. :lol:
Just retire mate.
We've actually defended their crosses pretty well today, won a lot of headers.
Giroud's positioning in the box and goal scoring instincts are much better than Welbecks.
Let's sign him up for another contract then.Quote:

Absolutely rotten performance, bar one moment of quality involving Xhaka, Ozil and Alexis. Otherwise, rancid right across the pitch, from both teams.
Gibbs and Ramsey - what's that about then?
Relax. I said he was suited for the conditions of this game and a good sub likely to score. I still wouldn't start him to play.Quote:

Would make a better striker than Welbeck.Quote:

Alexis this season:
46 games
25 goals
15 assist
Would have been 35 goals had wenger not intervened.
Lukaku is actually leading the league with 24. Always suspected he could get over 20..... and most people here aren't convinced by him. We went nuts when Adebayor got 25!
A win over Stoke and a favour from West Ham and that glorious trophy could be coming home.
Lukaku is fine on a farm. A good workhorse and plough, all in one. If we want to continue being top 4 also-rans he'll do, like Giroud. But if we want to progress and move into the upper ranks we'll have to set our sights a bit higher.
It's gonna happen. West Ham have bailed us out so often it's funny.Quote:

We could have won the league last season and this season with better focus and direction with what we have nevermind adding anybody else.
He'd be a better option over what we have now.Quote:

I don't think there was much wrong with Heskey's style of play. It was his finishing that let him down. Lukaku has been finishing goals for a while now.Quote:

I think he views himself as being in a unique position where he can spot qualiteeeees that nobody else can see. Only he had the vision to spot Sanogo's potential. Only he could see the value of Chamakh, everyone else missed it. And when Alexis started settling into the role of striker, Wenger could see there was a problem when every other fool thought things were working well. So Wenger stepped in and fixed things good and proper. The rest is long, painful and repetitive history.Quote:

As Arsenal fans we are all well aware of what constitutes top tier quality. Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira, direct equivalents may not be around today but we need to be looking in that type of shop window if we are serious. Otherwise we settle for the lower level.Quote:
