Loved the Ox's strike from outside the area. Fair play to him having the stones to defy his manager's instructions to only knock it in 3 yards from the goal line after the 500th pass. That's him consigned to the bench again, however.
Only bit of gripe was that lanky pikey getting on the score sheet, possibly for the 1st time this season. Why always us with these shit players is one of the great wonders of the world.
All in all, a proper result and it was good to see us delivering one other reminiscent pummeling of a mid table team. I look at the table and see us within touching distance of top spot, that BIlbo Baggins moment of wanting to possess the ring one more time starts to creep up, but I immediately snap back to reality.
Heck of a performance from Sanchez.
That little step over before his third goal. :bow:
Beast of a player.
Lofty is a really nice fella, isn't he? Does a lot of work for Arsenal in the executive class. (I think that's what it's called...when you pay more for a ticket and have guest speakers before and after the game?)Quote:

Yeah the Bergkamp and Henry hat-trixks were better. Alexis is some player though!
He was very nice. They were also with one other guy, cannot remember the characters name but he was the short gay bloke, Colin's boyfriend I think? Cathy was a bit tasty in those days :D We also beat the Scousers 2-1! It is was the first time Liverpool lost after Ian Rush had scored first for them! Great day!Quote:

How was Xhaka's game yesterday
I always thought that was the original intention when we bought him but Wenger went back to Giroud. This obsession with players strong enough to hold up the ball is where we've gone wrong. We've missed out on signing key players because of this idea that we need someone to hold the ball up. We've even missed out on internal solutions. Sanchez is strong but he doesn't even hold the ball up. He stays mobile. Had plenty debates on here about it. It's great to see that he's locked down his position. There is no way we can go back to Giroud. It was a heck a performance.Quote:
